Chapter 63: All in One

After spending nearly 30 minutes, Kahn was finally done with absorbing the skills of this hybrid-like creature.

Through the system, he learned the name of this species.. The Pethralls. A variant species that originated from Lamias and Humans. As for how did it come into existence.. He had no idea. But the plus point was that the monster was Lord rank. If not for his advantage in numbers, he would've had some hard time killing it and the monsters could've also escaped if Kahn fought it by himself.

"System, show me the new skills."

[The host has acquired the following abilities & skills :

Hallucinogenic Toxin (B Rank) (Active) :

Allows the host to secrete hallucination toxin inside the host's body and spread it from any body part by creating an outlet.

Mist Cloud :

Allows the host to create a gaseous mist.

Tendril (B Rank) (Active) :

Allow the host to create long-range extensions from the body.

Sonar Hearing (B Rank) (Passive) :

Allows the host to have an acute hearing range of 200 meters.

Cold Body :

Allows the host to completely decrease the body temperature to zero and the host will also be unaffected by extreme cold environment.

Note : Some of these abilities can be merged and some can be mixed under different synthesized abilities and skills.] the system listed the new abilities and also told him that they could be used furthermore.

"Show me the merged skills." ordered Kahn and the system gave only 3 abilities. But instead of feeling dejected, he was rejoiced after seeing the possible results.

"Merge them all!" exclaimed Kahn as he was very happy with the possible outcomes.

[Synthesis complete.] replied the system.

"Show me the details."

[The host has synthesized and acquired the following abilities and skills :

Grappling Extension :

Allows the host to create black fleshly extensions from any body parts and control them at his will in any distance, direction and length. The ends of these extensions can also change shapes as per the host's will and will be made from hard and metallic pikes from the Nymph host has previously absorbed abilities from.

Current Range : 30 meters

Toxin Mist :

Allows the host to mix the hallucinogenic toxins and release them in the form of mist or fog.

Current Range : 20 meters

Sonar Hearing has been merged under Hunter's Intent to raise its efficiency. However, the exclusive ability can still be used individually.] replied the system as it gave details of his new skills.

[[Author : Mentioned the last part because some of the readers have been misunderstanding that once the abilities & skills are merged, the original one disappears. Remember, he isn't using physical bodies to create these skills like he has to while creating subordinates where the original bodies will disappear. The merged skills have the combined effects of both the skills in a single skill/ability while the original ones can still be used.]]

"Bingo!" shouted Kahn in joy.

He put his hand on the back of the Pethrall and gently caressed it.

"I'm sorry I called you ugly and terrifying. Thank you for the skills." spoke Kahn.

"System, name the Toxin Mist as Fear Toxin." he commanded.

He went for the short and simple name. As for the resultant skills he got.. They were simply useful.

He could use this fear toxin mist or a fog to hunt down people in groups as he jumps right in the center and this hallucinogenic toxin would scare the shit out of his enemies and completely break down their battle formation.

And if he put his subordinates in the equation.. Since they were unaffected by this skill, it'd be a one-sided slaughter.

And the Grappling Extension was also simply amazing.. He could use it to reach heights and even swing through long distances when he shot these extensions from his hands.

This could work as his grappling gun belonging to a certain black caped guy who had pointy bat ears on his mask.

Sonar Hearing was, without doubt his best hearing skill. And now being merged under Hunter's intent.. The skill turned no different than the Detective Mode of the Caped Crusader.

But there was one more advantage.. He could use these extensions as weapons as well. To be put in simple words.. He could fight a dozen of people at once and when someone was at the farthest distance from him, he could simply use these extensions to kill that enemy, or even pull it closer to Kahn.

When someone tried to attack him from behind, these extensions with sharp pointy ends could simply kill the enemy. These extensions were more like his extra arms now.

After being content with the results. Kahn let out a satisfied smile. But he didn't touch the core of the Pethrall to eat it. Rather, he had some other plans.

"Ronin!" he called out the Rogue subordinate.

Kahn had a suitable candidate to merge with this floor boss. Because eventually, his Generals were going to play a vital role for him in the future. Quality was sometimes far important than quantity.

Ronin was going to lead Kahn's army of assassins one day if Kahn decided so. And the subordinate had proved itself useful from time to time. So it was about time it got the reward it deserved.

Kahn used the Synthesis Divine Ability and used 20 A-Rank monster cores to mix the floor boss's body with over 10 nymphs to create a subordinate that had Evolution skill unlocked. And to bridge the gap between species rank since Ronin was of Rare rank while the floor boss was of Lord rank, he used another 15 A-Rank cores for better results.

After spending 2 hours.. The Evolution was finally done!

A black mist surrounded the newly upgraded Ronin and his face turned similar to the monster boss but his eyes had turned completely green. He retained his humanoid appearance but is now 3 meters tall. There were multiple black whip-like extensions coming from his back.

Kahn quickly took out two epic rank daggers and gave a set of black leather light armor, a coat, shoes and accessories that fitted the new body perfectly.

After this evolution, Ronin was now a Lord rank subordinate just like Omega, Blackwall & Oliver. But after inheriting the hallucinogenic toxin and fog skill along with the extensions.. He was far more lethal as an Assassin class fighter. He could now take on dozens of people just by himself very efficiently if he wanted.

As for what's next.. Kahn already had decided that he'd test the new skills tonight. Not as himself.. But as Azrael.
