Hero of Darkness

Kahn now stood in front of the enormous body of the Caladrius monster and decided that it was about time Oliver, who had flying skills after his previous evolution needed another rank up. And given the type of flying monster Caladrius was… Kahn had high expectations. 

"Awaken." commanded Kahn and ordered the system to start the synthesis procedure. 

And after 5 hours of wait… the results were finally out. 

But as soon as the divine ability was done with its job… the entire 3 kilometers of space froze under insurmountable pressure. 

Kahn, who was baffled after this sudden occurrence, was also frozen on the spot under the horrifying and tyrannical pressure made of World Energy as if Kahn was facing a legit saint. 

[System, what's happening? This doesn't happen when I'm ranking up a subordinate.] queried Kahn. 

[The host has experienced this phenomenon before. It occurs only when a subordinate breaks the threshold of a species restriction and evolves into a higher form during the synthesis procedure. The last time this happened was…] reported the system but before it could even complete the sentence… 

"When I created Rudra!" spoke Kahn with an awestruck and flabbergasted expression. 

Thunderclap! 

Thunderclap! 

Without even giving Kahn a moment to digest the fact… a heavy and extremely overbearing pressure was released that even made Kahn, the master of this resultant creature fall on his knees. 

A dense cloud surrounded by ear-deafening lightning strikes and whirling storms came to be and Kahn himself was flung high in the air till he landed half a kilometer away. 

Thud! 

Thud! 

SCREECH!!! 

A heaven-shattering screech filled the 5 kilometers radius and Kahn, who was the closest to this creature felt like he had already gone deaf.

Soon, the storm faded and a 500 meters tall gigantic bird creature with a head that looked like an more fiercer and primordial version of an eagle, 6 massive black eyes, three on each side and talons as big as a tall tower came to be. 

Its massive yellow claws and the piercing beak gave this gigantic creature that was even bigger and had a wider wingspan of one and a half kilometers stood like an overbearing king of the skies. 

Strong gales and crackling lightning ran over its completely brown ginormous body filled with large feathers and the creature gave Kahn a fierce gaze as if it was looking down on its own master just like Rudra, the variant Basilisk once did. 

"What… what the hell is this? How can such a creature exist?" asked Kahn in a bewildered voice. 

[Congratulations to the host. Subordinate named Oliver has merged two different bloodlines and evolved into a superior variant species called Thunderbird.

Oliver can generate powerful claps of thunder with a flap of his wings. The beak of a Thunderbird subordinate can shoot out bolts of lightning at will.

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

All archery skills of the subordinate have been ranked by 2 ranks after the evolutions and their effectiveness, attack damage output and range have been increased by 3 times thanks to the subordinate invoking a Legendary Class called the Tempest Archer.] reported the system. 

"Blood hell… not just one but two Saint Rank skills?" said Kahn with a bewildered expression. 

Because even Armin and Blackwall only had one Saint rank skill even now. But Oliver straight up had two of them. 

As if this legendary Caladrius monster was created for the very purpose of giving such a huge upgrade in ranks and abilities to Oliver… the result of the synthesis was completely unexpected. 

Oliver's Garuda Bloodline mixed with the Godbeast Roc bloodline and created a whole new different version called the Thunderbird. 

And based on the abilities and skills he had… 

If he were to fight Caladrius in a one-on-one battle… Oliver would definitely be the victor because of the many buffs skills he already had thanks to his Tempest Archer class that he could use even in his Thunderbird form. 

Kahn quickly came to one truthful conclusion after understanding the gravity of the situation. Whether he wanted to believe it or not; Oliver after his evolution had the potential… 

To surpass even the Godbeasts!
