Chapter 229: It's a Bird, it's a Plane..

A new day arrived and all the subordinates gathered again in the morning inside a luxurious and wide tea room inside the manor. All of them dressed in their formal attires, enjoying the aromatic tea served by the maids.

"So who is going to handle which department?" asked Ronin to his fellow subordinates.

"Wait.. Shouldn't we worry about taking command of all of their business network first? Because wouldn't other Semi-Saints or a Saint try to take over?" asked Ceril in his eerie tone.

"Not exactly. The reason why I even suggested taking over hydra was because Rukon District is only the 69th most important district in Rathna. And that's why the strongest people trying to control it are peak grandmasters at best.

All the stronger forces have their priorities set on the main districts where there are many resources and money to be earned. Also, a big power struggle and the majority of their strongest fighters are required to be present to keep their rule intact.

To powerful clans and Saint rank individuals, ruling this district won't even get them pocket money.

And that is why it's perfect as a starting point for us." explained Ronin.

After his explanation, a deep and echoing voice interjected.

"But that's still just 5 of us. And the Healer guy can't even fight let alone rule over a department. He's not made like us." said Jugram as he gave a look to Armin, the healer among the six generals.

"Yes, I agree. I'm no help when it comes to fighting or commanding people. I'd rather prefer to stay indoors and continue my alchemy practice.

There are still tons of potions and alchemy recipes I have yet to master and invent." replied Armin in his white and green suit.

"About that.. I did keep a souvenir from the fight with the hydra heads for our master to use." said Ceril with a light smirk.

Next, Omega spoke calmly, "Let's do this then.. Rather than taking one section under us, we gather all of the networks under a single rule.. Like a council overlooking an organization. And then we will assume command and expand when we all have gotten the hang of it." he suggested.

"Agreed. It's not like all of us are well versed in running businesses efficiently. All our knowledge comes from master.. But we do lack experience when it comes to running an underground criminal organization." said Ronin.

For the next hour, they discussed many things about how to quickly assume command and safeguard their positions as the new rulers who would control everything that once belonged to the hydra.

Inside the batcave, Kahn was exercising by lifting heavy weights while limiting his physical strength to that of a master rank person which also pushed his physical limits at the same time.

After watching his improvements while practicing various magical spells after studying them, he had noticed that rather than using all your strength & mana, limiting them while performing these training sessions actually created a very solid foundation for him and with time, he was seeing drastic improvement; let it be his weapons training or magical studies.

Tap! Tap!

"What is it?" asked Kahn in his calm yet regal tone.

A mage donned in white and purple robes stood in front of him and spoke..

"Master, I have something you could use." said Ceril and the next second.. A body that came out of his space ring lied on the floor.

Kahn was taken aback and quickly asked with a surprised expression, "Where did you get this? Who is this guy?"

Ceril looked at the body of Tormund, the black tengu peak grandmaster archer who was also one of the heads of the hydra.

"Someone who came in my way. Rather than making him an undead.. I thought it would be best to give his body to you." replied Ceril with an evil grin.

"Do not worry Master. There were no witnesses." assured the mage.

"Fine then." said Kahn and the next second, a three meter tall subordinate who had a skull for the head while 6 long and pointy spider-like legs came out of his back appeared in front of the duo.

"Oliver.. You ready?" asked Kahn to the Ranger subordinate.

Currently, Oliver and Blackwall were the only Lord Rank subordinates out of the Six Generals. Kahn really didn't get a chance to find suitable specimens to merge with them who also needed to be peak grandmaster rank beings for these two generals to rank up.

"Yes.. Master." said Oliver in his stuttering voice. Currently, he was the scariest looking out of all the others since he still retained the traits of the nymph dungeon floor boss Kahn had merged him with.

"Merge!" commanded Kahn as used the divine ability and began the synthesis process.

After 30 minutes.. A dreary screech filled the underground training facility as a 6 meter tall monstrous creature with nothing but a white skull and torso with spiky bones protruding from the limbs and six large feathery wings stood in front of Kahn.

This was Oliver in his new High Lord form.

"Looks like he evolved into a new variant species as well." spoke Kahn as he took a good look at Oliver who looked like a horrifying demonic creature that would even give grown-ups many nightmares for months.

The six black wings, the blood-red claws and legs and the glowing red horns on his head made Oliver a completely new form of being Kahn hadn't seen or read about before.

"System, give me his details." said Kahn.

[Following are the details of the subordinate named Oliver…]

The system provided the details but as soon as Kahn heard the new variant species Oliver had become.. He was rooted to the spot from the shock.

"Holy mother of.." said Kahn as soon as he regained his mind.

"Tell me again.. His species!" ordered Kahn to the system.

To his order, the system replied in its usual lifeless tone.

[Species : Horus (Variant Garuda)]
