Hero of Darkness

Chapter 413: The Answer

Kahn glared at Ronin in annoyance as he was misunderstood by the general who assumed that Kahn made the choice because of his so-called and nonexistent 'feelings' for Kassandra.

"I had my reasons. Just tell me where she is." he ordered.

"Ah… the first thing you asked for waking up is about her whereabouts and condition instead of worrying about yourself.

How am I in the wrong?" asked Ronin as she shrugged his arms.

"Do you want to die?" asked Kahn in response as he gave a deathly stare to Ronin.

"She's on the 3rd floor." replied Ronin who had a very ominous feeling at the moment.

After getting refreshed.. Kahn walked down and entered a grand bedroom right below his own on the third floor of his castle.

Creak….

He opened the door and entered inside.

Armin was still diligently healing while Kassandra in the bed, barely had the strength to move.

"How are you feeling?" asked Kahn as he sat on the bed beside her.

"Ah… you came. I thought you were in danger as well." said Kassandra as she let out a sigh of relief and tried to get up.

"Tell me… what happened? How am I still alive?

I felt like she was about to die before I fainted." she queried with an exhausted voice.

Kahn on the other end… felt a sense of relief.

"Thanks to you… I survived and took down that monster you had already injured.

You can say that we were extremely lucky to come out alive." he replied.

Kahn willingly chose to hide the truth as he responded to the Raven Sorceress.

Because her well-being mattered more than making her indebted to him for the rest of her life.

Grasp!

"Thank you. I'm alive because of you." spoke Kassandra as she suddenly grabbed Kahn's hand.

"Don't mention it." he said and scratched his head.

This was the first time in his new life that a woman voluntarily held his hand.

Otherwise, all the women he had come to meet so far either needed saving or tried to kill him.

And given the mindset he had in this life… he ended up beating the hell out of them most of the time.

However, he could feel that there was nothing but genuine thankfulness in Kassandra's words.

Kahn then lightly smiled and covered her palm under his own as he gently spoke.

"I was only repaying a debt."

Kahn's expression then turned curious…

"Tell me something… why did you choose to save me back then?

You also have the mage class thanks to your ancient rank job… so I'm certain you felt the danger even before the monster attacked with that golden orb skill." he queried.

"That… I don't know what came over me. I was already too close before I could react and when it used that skill…

I just felt like protecting you in that last moment and reacted without a second thought." replied Kassandra as her raven hair fluttered gently as a strong breeze entered the room.

Kahn on the other end felt satisfied after hearing her answer.

Because there was no hidden agenda or any dubious strategy... Kassandra acted based on her instincts.

This was enough for him to understand that she was genuinely a good and kindhearted person when it counted.

"I guess my opinion of you has increased more than before.

Thank you… I mean it." said Kahn as he gave a thankful nod to Kassandra.

[Master… She's putting up a brave act. She was crying the whole night after waking up.

For someone named Isaac.] Armin said in Kahn's mind.

Kahn suddenly remembered the night of the attack and Kassandra's furious demeanor back then.

He quickly remembered about the 3rd heir of the Mikealson Clan.

"Get rest. Your clan's envoy is coming soon.

You have a funeral to attend." he said in a solemn tone.

Kassandra's face then turned crestfallen as she was reminded again about her younger cousin who fell in the battle against the Caladrius.

Her expression turned heavy but she did not speak a word as teardrops formed in her eyes.

[Master… Although we managed to save her.. The mana inside her body is already waning. Soon she will be unable to sense or use magic altogether.] said Armin in Kahn's mind as he continued to heal her body with his skills.

[There's nothing we can do now. Not everything in life goes as we planned.

She might think that it was because of the monster or maybe even regret her decision of saving me instead of herself in the future.

I have repaid my debt by saving her life because she saved mine.

As for the consequences… those are the battles of her own.] responded Kahn telepathically.

Just when Kahn was about to let go of Kassandra… the system suddenly gave a notification.

[Soul Link formed between the host and the individual named Kassandra Mikealson!]

Shocked! Dumbfounded!

Kahn was rooted on the spot as soon as he heard this sudden announcement by the system.

His eyes were wide open as if he heard something impossible out of the blue.

"Are you okay?" asked Kassandra as she noticed this sudden change in his expression.

"Ah, nothing. I just remembered something important. I need to go now…

Take some rest. I'll see you again." spoke Kahn and quickly left the room.

He returned to his royal bedroom on the 4th floor of the castle.

[System.. Explain what the fuck was that?!] he ordered.

[System has noticed that there is now an innate connection between the host and Kassandra Mikealson.

The root cause of this soul link is undetectable as of now since the soul link has been established just a few minutes ago.

However, the system can detect one thing for certain.] reported the system.

[What is it?] asked Kahn with a worried expression.

[Host will be able to feel the presence of the target with Soul Link in a 10,000 kilometer radius regardless of his location or any form of magical barrier.] replied the system.

Bewildered!

Another mind-blowing revelation hit Kahn in the gut and rendered him incapable of thinking straight.

"What kind of nonsense is this?! Are you trying to say that…." spoke Kahn as his entire body was covered in goosebumps.

For the first time… he shivered in fear while not being in danger. Kahn then asked in a jittery voice…

"Kassandra just became my… soulmate?"
