Hero of Darkness Chapter 807 Necessary Decisions

Chapter 807 Necessary Decisions

ONE WEEK LATER

Kahn and the group had gone back to their old lives as the members of Misthios guild while the Zivot Empire was still in an uproar regarding the murder of princess Eleanor.

This was a matter of the prestige and authority of the High Elf cla.s.s but so far, they were only able to find other empire's involvement and not anything else.

Inside the Trismegistus Alchemy Company, Kahn in his Legolas persona came to meet Aragorn in his Edmund form.

"Since you're going to continue hiding for the time being, do what you've been doing.

I don't want to risk any form of suspicion arising that could reveal the truth." he spoke in a demanding tone.

What Legolas meant by these words was that Edmund should maintain his facade in front of the world, resulting in him teaching Merlin and Armin alchemy as per their previous arrangement before everything became so chaotic.

----------------

On the same night, Kahn held a meeting with his subordinates to discuss an important matter.

"It's time for me to go." he spoke in a solemn tone.

Everyone including Omega and Rudra were shocked as soon as they heard these words.

"Go where?" asked Ceril in a curious voice.

"There was a secret oath made between me and Vildred when we performed the spell called Contract of Familiarity.

That deal entails me aiding Vildred to regain his former rank and in return, he has to do something for me as well.

I cannot explain it to any of you but know that I too have no other choice." he said in a somber tone.

"Due to the contract, Vildred and I cannot be farther from each other than 100 kilometers or both of us will die. Thus, staying in Zivot Empire is no longer possible for me." he iterated and gazes around the group.

"So when do we leave?" asked Blackwall in a stern voice.

"Not us. Just me." replied Kahn.

"But master, why can't we come?" inquired Ronin with a dejected countenance.

To his query, Kahn leaned back on his chair and replied.

"Because what we set up in the Verla.s.sen fiefdom and Zivot Empire as the Misthios guild is the best foundation we needed.

With what we have at our disposal, there's no need to go to a different place and start from scratch.

Besides, all of you must stay in Sparta and protect our guild so that there won't be any need for resources for any of you from now on." Kahn gave his reasoning.

"As for me… I have Rathnaar's core.

I will be able to absorb it steadily from now on and break through higher saint rank as time pa.s.ses by." he said with a cheerful smile.

However, all the subordinates only showed an expression of reluctance.

"Don't think of it like I'm abandoning you guys. This is also important for us.

If all of you disappeared with me, it will bring more trouble and it will lead to my ident.i.ty getting revealed to the empire and people coming after me.

Besides, I'm still leaving 7 of my doppelgangers here.

One will act as Legolas, 5 as Zeus and the last one as Merlin.

And now that I can create 5 more doppelgangers, I'm not lacking in options.

Know that all of them are just me without my divine abilities and blessings even if they're weak. So in a way, I'll still be with all of you.

So from now on… all of you need to power up steadily with time and when I return or call for you, you need to be much stronger than you already are." he revealed his true intentions.

"But master… what if you get in trouble that you can't handle on your own?" asked Jugram.

"Well, I have far more life-saving skills than any of you. Besides, even if I don't have any of your bloodline-specific abilities or domains… I still possess 90% of all of your skills.

Besides, it's not like anyone below 7th stage saint can kill me now and with Vildred around, we can even fight with one easily by working together." he explained why he was confident.

"Where are you going?" asked Oliver, revealing an incredulous expression.

Kahn then told them their next destination.

"But master… it's the same empire we used to put the blame of the princess' murder." spoke Armin, his eyes full of anxiousness.

"Well, it is one of the two empires that comes between our final destination. So I can't skip going there even if I want to." he said in a carefree tone.

This time… It wasn't like he was running away because he was forced to. Rather, he was already aware when he made the contract with Vildred inside the Immortal Dungeon to protect their lives.

This deal with Vildred when they were in a pinch, was something that was bound to make him strong beyond measure in the future.

Something Kahn desperately needed to survive in this world given how the mysterious group of people that even an 8th stage saint couldn't afford to fight were coming after him.

Besides, the Zivot Empire had already used him as a scapegoat, putting the blame of killing the Hero's Party members.

Kahn wasn't an oblivious fool to think that those people wouldn't naturally come here one day.

He simply couldn't take that risk because not only he but 20 thousand people who worked for his guild would also get their lives jeopardized.

If something happened to his subordinates, the system would naturally inform him and he could revive them later anyway. This would also act as a beacon to let him know that his ident.i.ty was exposed.

So in simple words, this time he was leaving to become much stronger than he was.

The Next Morning.

Using various barriers and spells cast by Vildred, Kahn and the Dragon Emperor departed while leaving everything behind.

Marking the end of Kahn's time in the Elven Empire.

----------------

1 Day Later.

Inside a black castle, a figure of a silver-haired individual, clad in black and green armor while meditating in a secret chamber came into sight.

Suddenly, he opened his blood-red glowing eyes and spoke in an elated voice.

"So I finally found you… Kahn."
