Hero of Darkness

Kahn was flabbergasted as soon as he heard the exorbitant price that the old blacksmith demanded. Just to teach him blacksmithing skills and weapon forging… the old man was asking for 20 trillion from the get-go. 

"Are you trying to rob me?! Who do you think I am? The emperor?!" exclaimed Kahn. 

"Take it or leave it!" spoke Oakenshield. 

[He's knowingly telling you that price. So that it'd deter you from tagging along here. 

Rest is up to you boy. 

Unlike us… you can learn multiple jobs and weapons because of those blessings from the War Deity. 

So it's your decision regarding your future.] spoke Rathnaar in Kahn's mind. 

[System, will it be possible for me to learn and even breakthrough to saint rank blacksmith?] asked Kahn to the system. 

[Given the host's current rank and physiology… the system affirms that the host can learn any job and their skills up to saint rank easily.] informed the system. 

Kahn's face twitched on the spot and almost wanted to punch the old dwarf in front of him. 

"Deal!" spoke Kahn reluctantly. 

"Oho… you're incredibly wealthy for a human. 

Aren't you afraid that I might rob you here, human?" asked the old dwarf. 

Swoosh! 

Swoosh! 

Swoosh! 

In the next second, seven figures suddenly appeared on the spot.

"We'd like to see you try that, master Oakenshield." spoke Omega as all of them let out their auras one by one. 

Enough to pressure the old dwarf and freeze him on the spot. 

Because although only Omega was comparable to a legit 2nd stage saint… all of them had the strength to easily fight a 2nd stage saint and even stand against a 3rd stage saint. The former could even fight a 4th stage saint at his maximum capacity. 

And now, they had surrounded the old dwarf. 

"You… who are you people?!" exclaimed the old blacksmith as he noticed the killing intent in their eyes. 

Although he was a second stage saint… he wasn't a warrior but a pure blacksmith. 

"Well, to be honest, master Oakenshield… 

We're not from around here. The main reason why I even came to your company was to place a commission for weapons and armors. 

Even though I got mixed up in your affairs, which is partly my fault… I still need your services." explained Kahn as he gave the old dwarf some vague information than making him feel threatened. 

But before the old dwarf could ask any questions about his background… Kahn summoned something out of his space ring. 

Thud!! 

A massive two meter black nail, part of a beast's claw was plunged into the floor by Kahn. 

"What… what the hell is this?" asked Oakenshield. 

"You're the expert. You should know better." said Kahn in a mocking tone. 

The old dwarf quickly pulled some goggles out of his ring and started examining this massive black nail. 

"Dragon!! That's a dragon's claw! How did you get your hands on one? 

And the dragon clearly was a mythical rank one based on the durability and aura it's emitting. 

I can easily make a legendary rank weapon from it!" exclaimed the old dwarf as his eyes gleamed in shock and then excitement. 

"I'd rather not reveal that." said Kahn. 

"And besides…" he then continued in a smug tone. 

"I have more." he said with a grin. 

To his revelation… the old dwarf didn't show any surprise but then signaled him to follow behind. 

2 minutes later, all of them reached below the deepest part of the building and there was a vast hall filled with giant forging equipment. This place was 2 kilometers in overall perimeter and filled with machines that even Kahn hadn't seen before. 

"This is a place where I personally forge weapons and armors. There aren't many people who have seen it." said Oakenshield and pointed towards a 500 meter wide open space. 

Kahn understood the signal and the very next second… he pulled out more giant dragon claws, bones, fangs, horns and hide that quickly filled the space. 

These were the exact remains from the body of the guardian dragon that he couldn't completely absorb. And all the parts came from only half of the body of the mythical rank dragon who was 1 kilometer in height alone. 

Shiver! 

Shock!

The old blacksmith suddenly shivered and fell on the floor as his entire body was covered in goosebumps. 

"You… you're some empire's prince, aren't you?!" he asked Kahn in a befuddled tone. 

"Something like that." replied Kahn with a smirk. 

Although he wasn't a legit prince… he was a sovereign of a fiefdom. Even a prince didn't have the amount of power he held in Verlassen until they became the emperor themselves. So Kahn didn't bother hiding that part. 

And the more misunderstanding the old blacksmith had about his background, the better for him. 

"So… what can you make with this?" he asked. 

"What do you want me to make with this? I can basically make everything with it! 

Weapons, armors, knives, arrows and even clothes with that hide. 

You even have an entire horn of a dragon. That's the sturdiest part of its body. 

A weapon with that can easily overpower another legendary rank weapon." replied the dwarven saint. 

Kahn was overjoyed after hearing this response from the saint blacksmith. 

"Then I have another question. If I were to give you some other materials and already made armors and weapons… 

Will you be able to reforge them using the dragon's body parts?" he queried. 

"Of course, who in the seven hells do you think I am? 

As long as you give me good materials, I can make you anything and reforge any shoddy equipment you have." said the blacksmith in a prideful tone. 

"Then how about this… " said Kahn and the next moment… 

BOOM!! 

A loud noise filled the underground forge as Kahn's body was covered in a black and red demonic armor that emitted blistering heat and had small veins of magma running through it. 

And in his right hand… a red vein patterned black greatsword appeared. 

This time… the saint blacksmith was too stunned to speak after he saw Kahn suddenly equipping Drakos Armor and Lucifer that had risen to Legendary Rank after he became a saint. 

The old blacksmith then asked in a jittery voice as he quickly examined the armor and the sword… 

"What kind of monster made this?!"
