Chapter 378 - Salvaging Corpse

Published Mar 15, 2026, 09:16 PM

Now that they were done hunting the biggest boss of this region, Kahn decided that it was time to use the corpse as well as he was certain that the results would be tremendously rewarding. "I guess we have gotten rid of the main cause of the monster tide in this area." he said and looked towards the four subordinates that gathered around the deceased Invimarak. "Anyone wants to mix with the body?" asked Kahn to his generals. However, all of them pretended to not know him again as if he was offering them a glass of poison. "What about you two?" asked Kahn to Rudra and Blackwall who resided in his shadow. "It will affect the purity of my bloodline. So I shall pass." replied Rudra. "Apologies, master. But it's also unsuitable for me. I will not be able to fight or be on your side if I merge with it. I do not wish to be a monster that's only good for carrying a heavy load on its back." responded Blackwall. Kahn was taken aback but understood their reasoning. Although this legendary beast, a descendant of a godbeast, was a great specimen… it was not a fighter class creature or something even Kahn would be able to use anytime soon. Plus mixing it with other low-ranked creatures would only affect the resultant subordinate since mixing tens of different bloodlines would only lead to an amalgamation that was good for nothing. "Ah… then I guess we will have to take the body to the capital and see if Albestros could make something out of it. The hide is simply too good to let go. It's lightweight and offers even better protection against physical and magical attacks." spoke Kahn with a thoughtful expression. "Oliver, bring our warship here. Let's hunt to make up for our losses and thin out the density of monsters." he commanded. Kahn then gathered his team and this time, he too partook in the hunting session. They hunted for a few more days but found nothing worth mentioning as there were not even Lord rank monsters left in this 200 kilometers perimeter of the Xena borders. So Kahn & company had no choice but to return to the military outposts stationed at the border. He met with Nadia and told her that there would be no monster tide this year. As for the reason why… he didn't bother telling her. As nothing noteworthy happened during his absence, he and the Generals finished all the necessary arrangements to leave with his army of millions of Covenant soldiers he brought with him 5 days ago. "Where to, my lord?" asked Ronin. "To Aesir." ---------------- After their gigantic warship that was even bigger than the legendary monster they hunted landed in the main estate where his castle was situated in Aesir, Kahn met Albestros and Sirius who were already informed about his arrival and told to be present in the landing zone area. Nearly a month ago, the orc accountant had finished sorting things out in the capital and officially took charge of both Bloodborne and Ayurveda companies to manage their money and funds. Proving himself even more useful than before because Kahn had been mostly busy after taking over the fiefdom. Sirius also worked along with Ronin to maintain the money and businesses owned by Seven Deadly Sins from the shadows and lessened his burden by a great deal. And after Albestros announced that he was shifting their main base to Aesir, the weapon manufacturing industry inside the capital Rathna itself was heavily affected because the peak grandmaster blacksmith had already become the most famous blacksmith of the empire. And Kahn purposefully spread the news through Seven Deadly Sins functioning in the Rukon District that it was the three noble factions who forced the man out of the capital because of his ties with Kahn and they were getting their petty revenge against him by destroying the life of the old blacksmith. With this, the opinion of the three noble factions had already fallen in the eyes of the normal population, the business world and many only treated their clans and businesses under them with scorn. Thus, the majority of them lost a big chunk of their profits that relied on commoners as their customers. Because of which, even the three faction leaders had a headache due to such a drastic effect on the economy of the capital. This was exactly what Kahn meant by making the three factions regret messing with the old man and boycotting him. Making them realize that they hit their own feet with an axe. Kahn's warship then landed in the open grounds of his estate and hundreds of people then pulled the corpse of the Invimarak's out of it. As soon as Albestros saw it… he was rooted on the spot in absolute bewilderment. "Is this the legendary Invimarak? How did you kill it? Even saints have a hard time killing this monster. You have no idea how precious this hide is. They're one of the most sought-after monsters in the weapon manufacturing industry." queried the old man. "I have my ways. So tell me, what can you make out of it?" asked Kahn. "With this big full-grown body… I can make over 100 sets of epic rank armors, equipment and even weapons from its bones. Its entire body is a treasure trove!" spoke the old man vehemently as if he was looking at a diamond. "Good. These guys need better gear. The kind that can survive even against a legendary rank monster." spoke Kahn. "It will take some time. But the results and the quality will be worth the worth wait." spoke Albestros. Just then, Armin also came via a luxurious carriage and joined the fray. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 "Master, I want the organs and the blood. All of them are very rare ingredients for making lifesaving potions and cures to many diseases. Even the diluted blood is 10 times more effective and potent than what all the other alchemists can make. Everything about this monster can be used in many effective alchemy products. And we can also make a lot of money off from it." explained Armin. But Kahn only heard 'bla bla bla… A lot of money!' so he instantly approved. At the night, Kahn held another meeting between the generals and decided their next hunting ground. "It's about time we head to the West again. And if the rumors are true…" spoke Kahn and continued in a serious tone. "We might find another legendary monster."
