Hero of Darkness

Chapter 55: The Plunderer

Kahn put his hand on the headless body of Stragabor and used his Ability Absorption divine ability.

Just 20 minutes later, he was finally done. But he didnʼt bother checking the new abilities. Because soon, the news of the battle will reach many ears and people will come to investigate. His only advantage was that the fight happened in the innermost area of this site so the commotion would be undetected for some time.

But Kahn wasnʼt an idiot to think that there wonʼt be ways people wouldnʼt know. Many enemies of the clan or someone who kept an eye on them through a distance would notice something was missing. So Kahn had a small window to act and do what he was about to do next.

”Grab that battleaxe.” he commanded Blackwall. This weapon used by his enemy was undoubtedly a rare or even an epic rank weapon given how strong attacks it landed on them and how brightly it glowed during the fight.

He then activated the ripper claw and ripped Stragaborʼs heart out.. He squashed it and finally felt a golden core..

This was Stragaborʼs core.. A core of a Grandmaster.

Kahn put some of his Nymphs for surveillance around the property as they were the best sensors he had because these monsters sensed enemies based on their body temperature. He left Oliver, the Ranger subordinate in charge because amongst all of Kahnʼs subordinates, he had the farthest sight and hunting range after he was mixed with the Nymph floor boss. Except for the 6 Generals, the rest including Omega & Blackwall came back to his shadow and Kahn ran through the main building where Stragabor & his parents lived.

Now there was one and the only thing to do..

Rob all the fortune this Noble clan had amassed together through all these decades.

Not because he was a petty thief.. Because he wanted to safeguard their fortune from the wolves who probably had eyes on it.

Kahn was a saint who was only safekeeping it.

”Did you find the keys?” asked Kahn to Ronin.

The rogue subordinate took out a metal box and opened it..

”So many..” spoke Kahn as he saw numbers of keys inside the box. Many of them were actually very big and heavy.. As if they unlocked some sort of a treasure chest.

”Letʼs go.” he said.

Kahn and the 6 generals quickly searched through various rooms and basement floors to see where was the place that hid all the money.

He went to the family headʼs office first and opened the safe hidden behind a portrait using one of the keys and found plenty of documents and deeds to the land and businesses.

”Sorry, only hard cash bro..” said Kahn and threw away papers. He only saw a golden space ring in the safe and put it in his pockets without checking its contents.

Armin, the Priest subordinate finally found a giant metal door on the bottom floor of this building while Kahn was searching the main office of the clan head.

”Gotcha!” smirked Kahn as he received the vision from Armin and ran down to the basement of the building along with the rest of the Generals who were searching other places.

He now stood in front of an 8 meter tall metal door and took out the keys from the metal box.

”Huh.. The door has 2 keyholes but thereʼs only one key inside the box that can be used here..” said Kahn and tried to think of possible places where the other key could be..

”The space ring!” said Kahn and took out the golden ring.

Unlike the space ring he used these days, this golden ring didnʼt have too much space inside it. But it had over 100 A-rank cores, some jewels and most importantly.. A big black key!

Kahn took it out and Ronin grabbed the other one. They both twisted the keys at the same time.

KRANGGG

The metal door opened and Kahn pushed it with all his strength.. The door was indeed made to safeguard against highly destructive attacks and even with Omega & Kahnʼs attacks, it wouldʼve taken them half an hour to break it open.

As the door finally opened and banged against the wall.. Kahn finally saw the most glorious sight he had seen in this new life.

Because it wasnʼt some serene or beautiful scenery of nature.. It was even far more profound and pristine than that.

His eyes shimmered with a golden glow and Kahn almost dropped on the ground as he subconsciously started drooling.

What laid in front of him was a small hill of golden coins.. Cashes filled with rubies and diamonds. On the left of the room, lied dozens of rare and epic class weapons, armors, shields, accessories.. All of which glowed in various colors and were made of extremely high-quality metals and materials. On the right were big wooden chests filled with mana ores, potions and rare herbs.

On the shelves, there were hundreds of magic scrolls and books related to magic. Many of them seemed to be some ancient books that had withered a bit after so many years.

And plenty of magical artifacts at the end of this room.

”HAHAHA! HAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!”

Kahn started laughing like a maniac.. Like a Demon King who had successfully found the biggest treasure in the world.

His appearance was no different than what youʼd call a big mafia boss villain.

Kahn walked towards the small hill of the golden coins and jumped right in the middle. His body swimming through all that gold like Scrooge McDuck.

”Iʼm rich! Iʼm fucking rich!” he laughed and kept swimming across the golden river of fortunes..

”I wasted my life slaving for years but never felt the joy of having money.. This on the other hand.. Is too satisfying.” said Kahn with a wide grin on his face.

He stopped his little joyous swimming session and started putting all the fortune inside his Space Ring that was no different than a small warehouse. He was lucky that he had a ring this big otherwise there was no way he could store all this wealth.

When Kahn was finally done ransacking the entire fortune of the Sigurd clan.. He decided it was time to leave..

Kahn stopped in his footsteps as another insidious idea popped up in his mind.

”Letʼs put on some fireworks.”
