Hero of Darkness

Kahn was left speechless by this revelation. Because he had already absorbed most of the Darkness element from the guardian dragon's body when they fought. But suddenly, the system said that it ended up increasing his reserves even more. 

And even now, he was only half done with absorbing its body. So there was a possibility that his darkness element reserves will either increase in capacity again or the quality will be improved. 

"Show me the current Darkness element capacity." commanded Kahn. 

[Darkness Element reserve capacity : 50%]

"Bloody hell! Did it go from 43% to 50% just from absorbing half of the body? 

Will it increase even more?" asked Kahn. 

[No. The quality of the host's darkness aura, dark magic and darkness elemental skills and abilities will be improved and the skills will get additional output damage and effectiveness.] reported the system. 

"Tell me the current boost after I became a saint." he ordered. 

[Darkblade, Dark Lightning Strike, and Darkness Barrier have become 5 times stronger in terms of attack damage output and effectiveness than before and their range has also multiplied by 5 times. 

All of them are currently at Saint Rank.] replied the system again. 

"Good. If there are any more surprises because of the upgrade, tell me now." said Kahn who was already content with the new update. 

[Ruler of the Night ability under Hero of Darkness title will now get an additional 10% increase in stats and buffs. It will increase with each rank up. 

From now on, with each rank up… the host will receive additional 15% stats to all physical attributes. 

Time to use Synthesis and Ability Absorption divine ability is reduced by 40%.

All of the host's abilities and skills have an additional 20% boost in effectiveness and range. 

The system will undergo another update after the host becomes a Demi-God.] said the system in his head. 

"15%... 15%!!" exclaimed Kahn. 

"And that too will increase with my rank? Good dear lord." said Kahn as he smiled happily. 

Because the Hero of Darkness title, which made him 3 times stronger at night, was going to get an additional 10% boost. Means if he ever became a peak saint, the 10% boost will become 100% and since the base value was 3 times his original stats, the additional 100% meant that he will have another 3 times boost stacked on it. 

In simple words, Kahn when using the Hero of Darkness title at Peak Saint rank would be 6 times stronger than his original saint. 

And with 15% boost in all physical stats at that rank meant 150% additional stat points. Making him one and half times physically stronger compared to any other peak saint. 

It also meant that there was a chance that he could fight a Demi-God while only being a Peak Saint just like Kravel, the War Deity could do. 

So after tallying all his gains after the system's upgrade… Kahn concluded that this upgrade was nothing but a miracle to him. 

Kahn calmed down and then asked the system… 

"Let me ask you something. I expected there to be some sort of user guide when God of Darkness gave me the divine but you're far too advanced to be just a guide interface. 

On top of it… just me breaking through to Saint rank has affected you as well. So mind clearing my doubts?" queried Kahn. 

[The system is only an interface provided by God of Darkness to the host because Ability Absorption & Synthesis are unique divine abilities that need the knowledge about all species in the world and information about how skills and merged abilities work. 

Otherwise, there are many possibilities and conditions while merging subordinates or any skill that may adversely affect the host. 

The system is there to monitor the usage of those two divine abilities, terminate anything harmful to the host and provide the best-suited outcome.] clarified the system in a lifeless tone. 

"Then what about the other chosen Heroes? Do they also have a system?" he asked again. 

[The system is unaware. The possibility cannot be denied that the other Gods did the same for their respective heroes but there is no solid evidence of that to be the case either.] it replied. 

"Hmm… I guess I'll have to be careful if I ever face a Hero. Who knows if they have one as well. 

It's better to be careful than thinking that I'm a special case." said Kahn. 

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

The next morning, he decided to delay his departure and sent Omega and Ronin to gather necessary information about the capital Arkensan first, all of its regions, ruling powers and authorities as well as the local business overlords and underworld organizations that controlled the capital. 

He already had enough money to get his hands on top-grade and detailed information. 

And this place was something he could not afford to be negligent about and end up catching the attention of people he was trying to avoid. 

Meanwhile, He entered the Dimensional Domain again and this time, he stopped in front of a massive 100 meters tall body that still looked freshly charred because of how things worked inside his domain.

Kahn now stood in front of the corpse of Jatvuarym. The legendary rank monster with Metamorphosis bloodline. 

Previously, he sold off a small portion of his wealth that he stole from the imperial castle and bought the corpse in an auction. 

But he intentionally didn't absorb it because the system was going through an upgrade and he didn't want to risk anything in its absence. 

Back then, Kahn had no idea how the update was going to affect him so it was a reasonable choice to wait for ten days. 

This time, Kahn didn't touch or formed any form of connection with this legendary rank creature that could shapeshift and use different forms based on the situation to kill its enemies. 

But after the surprises he got during the night… he felt that it was a wise decision since absorbing it now could be more beneficial. 

Kahn folded his arms behind his back and spoke with a gentle smile. 

"Activate the Ability Absorption divine ability."
