Hero of Darkness

In front of Kahn, was a gigantic creature who was seated on a 15 meters tall enormous throne made out of the corpses of over a hundred frost giants stacked atop each other. And the demonic being with blistering red and black body that was filled with spikes at the edges appeared like a Demon Lord overseeing a ruined battlefield after his victory. 

As for Kahn… he was thoroughly impressed by Jugram's display of absolute badassness while looking like the main boss of the Dark Souls games that would kill you in a single strike. 

Bang! 

The ground trembled as Jugram jumped down from his throne made of giants while he plunged his burning giantsword in the ground at the same time. Kahn's gray longcoat fluttered in the air as the shockwaves from Jugram's landing created a gust of wind. 

The Chaos Demon knelt in front of Kahn like a knight and spoke in a stern tone. 

"It has been taken care of, master." spoke the Hell Berserker general. 

Swoosh!! 

Just then, Ronin also rose from the shadows behind Kahn and spoke in a calm demeanor. 

"I'm done on my end as well, master. No other encampment would be alerted of this incident. I have also destroyed their warhorns… 

But there's something I don't understand." 

Reported the rogue general. 

"What is it?" asked Kahn as he turned his head towards Ronin. 

"For being nothing but beasts only massive in size… they sure are well developed and have created an organized chain of command. 

It's as if they aren't just monster hordes but part of an established civilization themselves." said Ronin. 

"Well, that's to be expected. There must be a leading figure in these lands who is sentient enough to control their entire species living in this region. 

But I don't think we will find it in the outskirts. We will have to go deeper." said Kahn with a thoughtful expression. 

"Well anyway… Good work. I guess I should reward you both." spoke Kahn and gave two blue cores of the high lord giants to Jugram and Ronin. 

Both the generals sensed the radiating highly compressed mana and aura coming from the cores. Just from the faint pressure they gave off… both the generals were certain that these two beasts were much stronger than both of them and that's why even Kahn needed to properly kill them without making a fuss. 

"Eat up. Soon, I will be needing you to fight bigger numbers." said Kahn and then headed off towards the enormous throne. 

"Awaken!" he commanded and the next moment, a black shadow spread from his feet and instantly covered all the frost giant corpses spread in the 500 meters radius. 

"But master… these cores are too high leveled. Shouldn't you be making a new subordinate?" asked Ronin out of curiosity. 

"Their bloodline is limited. And I can't evolve them further. So that's why I'm giving their cores to you. As for the bodies.. I've already absorbed their abilities." replied Kahn. 

After that, both of the generals ate the cores and Kahn carried on with creating a new batch of frost giants. 

As for the skills and abilities he got… although all of them were very good, they were highly oriented towards ice elemental physical skills and passive abilities to survive in this frost region. 

At best, Kahn was now able to create ice spears and cover himself in armor made of thick ice. And the defensive skills were average at best even after he got them from two High Lord monsters. 

Because compared to the Legendary Invimarak… these skills seemed only subpar at best. 

After Kahn was done in an hour, there were now 3 high lord frost giants who were as big as Jugram. But they lacked sentience unlike the general and only had limited brute strength abilities. 

Total 600 of Velka giants who were the evolved versions of these frost giants now stood in front of them. 

With this.. Kahn finally had strong ice elemental subordinates in his arsenal. 

—————-

Kahn and the crew hunted for a few more days while taking out the several other encampments. 

However, at best, he only found Lord Rank monsters and even after merging, they weren't comparable to generals because of the limited bloodline purity and abilities. 

But now… the total number of frost giants rose to 15 thousand members and a separate battalion was created as part of the Legion. 

Yet Kahn knew that these were not even ten percent of the total population of the frost giants in this region. So he moderately hunted only the strong ones such as hunters and soldiers amongst their ranks. 

Compared to the normal population of the Rakos Empire…even females and young giants were strong enough to protect themselves. 

And finally… as their trio manage to bypass many guard posts via Kahn using the void crack… he finally reached a region full of mountains and thousands of high-level giants after traveling for almost a week. 

But what piqued his curiosity was that the center of this region had dozens of mountains that were spread across the center and even other frost giants didn't dare to go there. 

However, there seemed to be an army of soldier giants who seemed to carry cart-like massive vehicles filled with meat and other vegetables grown in the wild. 

As if they were making an offering to a being they worshiped. 

Kahn then waited for the doppelgangers to absorb more space law and once they were done, he infiltrated the inner region using the true dimension. 

But during his journey… he ran out of space force because the region was simply too vast to explore. 

Kahn exited the void crack on top of a Rocky mountain. 

Crack!! 

Shatter!! 

Just then.. The thing he thought of as a mountain started moving on its own. Two hands, two legs and a head made full of rocks was suddenly revealed and the terrifying aura of this gigantic creature that seemed 1 kilometer tall suddenly pressured Kahn's body. 

Kahn quickly jumped down and ran away from this moving monstrosity. Despite being a semi-saint… he had completely failed to even sense the aura or world energy around this creature as if it was part of nature itself. 

Just then.. The gigantic creature spoke in a grim and archaic voice.

"Who dares to intrude in my lands?" 

"System… What the hell is this thing?" asked Kahn in bewilderment as he was completely caught off guard. 

[The creature in front of the host is a descendant of a primordial bloodline. It's a…] replied the system and Kahn was shocked to his core as soon as the system revealed its name… 

A TITAN!
