Chapter 91: The Final Boss

For the next 5 days, Kahn spent his time hunting inside the neighboring dungeons on the floors he thought would give him the best results and give him subordinates that'd be worth keeping and investing in.

During this hunting spree, he went from various dungeons and chose peculiar specimens to hunt.

He and his army of 550 soldiers now hunted hordes of ogres, orcs and goblins.

[[Goblin Slayer : Did someone say Goblins!?]]

After acquiring their bloodlines and even upgrading many of them by merging and evolving, Kahn had more than 350 new subordinates after painstaking efforts and spending almost all his time in these dungeons. He'd return home only to eat & sleep. And his hard work had shown rewarding effects as well.

The ogres gave him many vitality and regeneration skills that were merged and mixed with his other regeneration and defense skills. Although the goblins didn't offer him any noteworthy skills, he still got plenty of subordinates useful to aid and work under Ronin & Oliver as some were evolved to Assassins & Archer class goblins.

The Hobgoblins and High Ogres were under the command of Jugram, the Berserker subordinate from the Six Generals because all of them were physical attack classes and had buff effects when they fought together as a team. And Jugram had the skills to give them even more attack and defense buff from his skills as he was made from Warrior and Swordsman class.

Ceril now controlled more than 600 undead and had few high 2 half lord rank monsters in his skeleton army after Kahn merged them using Synthesis and imparted black magic and darkness element to them.

Kahn didn't bother hunting Kobolds as there were better options than them. The only one who didn't get to lead a group so far was Armin. Kahn didn't replace a single suitable species that could work as his Healer Brigade so the Priest subordinate was on his own for now.

Out of the 350+ new subordinates, 250 were melee attack classes such as High Ogres, Hobogoblins & High Orcs, 50 were assassin class while 30 long-range archer class and the remaining were mage class. Now Kahn's army had a pretty good team formation except for the Healers part.

But even after all these days spent on looking for strong enemies, Kahn didn't even get to fight a single Lord rank floor boss even on the final floors. All of them were simply weak and didn't give him any rewarding or game-changer abilities like his hunts from the past. So he only focused on creating new subordinates.

The most useful ability during these raids was none other than the King of the Dead ability that allowed him to directly create subordinates without him having to touch them in 500 meters radius. All he had to do was wait for his army to ambush and massacre the enemies and for him to step inside the middle of the battlefield.

This saved him a lot of time as he could now create more than 50 subordinates in one go as long as the corpses were inside half a mile radius from his location. Otherwise, he'd have to spend 3 hours just to create 10 new subordinates.

The ones he found not worth making as part of his army were eaten and their cores distributed among the older subordinates as they were the main guys.. Their seniors in a sense.

As Kahn finally felt content with his tiresome grind.. He took a day off just to cool down his mind.

Because the day after that, he was going after the main reason why he felt the need to increase the numbers in the first place.

The next day he spent in his house and carrying on the research by reading books.

As the morning sun came the day afterwards, Kahn had his breakfast and quickly left to meet his other half.. His true love. The girlfriend he never had in his previous life and always gave him skills and abilities unconditionally. The bond Kahn shared with his girlfriend transcended beyond human understanding. And the name of his soulmate was none other than..

The Bromnir Dungeon!

Using a Pass, Kahn finally entered and traveled to the 15th and the final floor of this dungeon.

Not a single group in the past 50 years had cleared this Dungeon floor. Nobody even got past the 14th floor boss to be exact. The Lich had killed them all and probably the army of 500 skeleton soldiers he had could actually be those adventurers. So there weren't any records of this floor boss for Kahn to research just like the previous.

But unlike the last time, he wanted to be careful and not fall into the trap of overestimating himself and getting killed by the enemy instead. He didn't want to replace out if getting stabbed in the chest again would give him another title or some power boost.

As Kahn finally entered inside the floor entrance.. Suddenly the doorway that led him inside closed with some sort of mechanism and before he could even dash out.. His only escape route was already closed. This gave him a foreboding and a replay of the undead Lich again.

Kahn's gaze then shifted to the environment in front of him..

A completely black desolate land where nothing but black boulders could be seen. But unlike the previous floor, there weren't some dead trees but the entire floor seemed like Kahn had entered inside a close range of an active volcano.

Because this nearly 10 Kilometer wide floor had tons of big cracks on the ground where red and sizzling hot lava was leaking out of the ground and some places even had small fountains of the erupting magma.

Now even if he didn't want to.. Kahn would be forced to play the game called 'The Floor is Lava'.

He treaded carefully from these crevices and boulders and since the heat was already too high. He had no choice but to activate his Somir scales and cast few water spells to drown himself under them just to keep moving forward.

During this period, he kept all his senses alert. Only when he reached towards a rocky and mountainous area in the center of this floor, did his Survival Instinct started ringing in his head.

[System warning! The host is being targeted by the murderous intent of a high-grade species. It is advisable to be cautious.] the sudden alert from the system came. And it was the very first time the system itself warned Kahn.

"Means it's even a stronger opponent than the Lich.." spoke Kahn and quickly put his darkness barrier on work and prepared to attack with the darkblade as soon as he saw the enemy..

THUD! THUD! THUD!

The ear-deafening thuds of some giant creature stepping were heard followed by the sizzling sound of ground being burnt reached his ears.

Kahn's mouth couldn't even gasp given the look of the enemy that was standing a kilometer away from him.

A gigantic 25-meter tall figure with skin covered in the black and scaly hide with 4 legs that could tear through anything with the sharp and strong claws. The belly of this creature appeared to be emitting burning red glow as if it had the magma inside it. It so had long tail that could swat Kahn to a disc and the most prominent and noticeable thing was its head.

The monster that stood in front of him made the undead Lich look like a random henchman.

"Fuck.. This time, I'm definitely gonna die." spoke Kahn as he couldn't believe his eyes when he again gazed at the gigantic Dungeon Boss.

It had two giant horns on its head, the jaw and skull that completely matched the description of a certain species that was deemed supreme in any fictional story.

Although it didn't have wings.. Kahn knew exactly what it was..

The species stood in front of him with nothing but a look of a superior being looking down upon the ants.

It was a Drake!

More accurately.. It was a Magma Drake!
