The three peak grandmaster assassins who were rooted on the spot just as soon as they had barely managed to kill the Volstov clan head, couldn't move as they heard Azrael's grim voice coming from the back.
Normally, the Void Realm dark magic spell which temporarily locked the space and stopped anyone from moving as if the time itself stopped, wouldn't be able to stop or restrict these strong fighters even for 3 seconds. But since Kahn's magic skills were twice as effective during the night thanks to the Hero of Darkness title in effect, they were unable to move for the next 5 seconds.
Stab! Stab! Stab!
Without wasting time on any further introductions or some monologue, Kahn quickly used three of his extensions with spear-like ends to stab through the necks of these three assassins. And since his physical strength also rose by 3 times, he didn't feel any resistance while piercing through their bodies.
The three bodies of the professional assassins were slowly put down on the floor without making any sound. A single moment of negligence had cost them their lives as they left their guard down after coming out of the domain and their senses failed to pick up Azrael's presence.
The void realm skills activation time ended. Just like how Ajak, the Dark Summoner managed to kill Kahn back then; so did Kahn when he reaped the lives of these trained and experienced assassins.
Kahn had basically applied the method he once read in Art of War.
'Attack where your enemy is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.'
Kahn's gaze then landed on the body of the dead clan head. Not only did his plan succeed to let these people kill the clan leader but also he managed to kill the three assassins as well. So basically, now he had cores and bodies of 4 peak grandmasters and he could eat them to raise his levels and stats to strengthen himself even more.
Because currently, the B rank cores & mana ores didn't help him raise his levels that efficiently since the resources required to raise each level also increased. And the A Rank cores & ores were hard to come by till now.
But now.. A greedy, creepy and wide smile appeared on Kahn's face.
"Hueheuhuehue!" laughed Kahn.
Because not only their bodies but also their equipments and everything that was in their space rings also belonged to him now. He took out their space rings and put them in his pockets. This was indeed the juicy piece of steak he wanted when he planned to follow the three assassins.
The black giantsword of the clan head instantly reminded Kahn of the Dragon Slayer from Berserk manga.
The only difference was the crossguard that protected the fingers and wrist. Kahn did not even hesitate for a second and put the giantsword in his space ring. Although, using this weapon wasn't his style.. A certain subordinate of his was extremely proficient in using at them. When that subordinate was resurrected, he'd give this weapon to him.
Time was of the essence so he would eat their cores, absorb their abilities and decide what to do with the bodies later after clearing out his main objective first. He looked at the clan head again and another plan hatched in his mind.
Kahn took the amulet the clan head was wearing and took some clothes out of the closet. He then placed the body of all these dead men & the demonkin along with their weapons in his space ring.
10 minutes later, at the southern end of the mansion where the clan heir Eren was guarded under watchful eyes, a 4 meter tall figure of a blonde demonkin, dressed in regal clothes slowly walked in. Each of his steps were loud and could be heard from a distance.
The vigilant guards protecting this area were surprised to see this figure at this late night. Every single one of them was a peak master rank fighter but in front of this figure, all of them showed an expression of worship.
"We greet the clan head!" spoke one of the guards loudly and put his right fist on his heart and put the left hand behind his back.
The others who were standing afar at different entry points followed the same greeting.
Currently, they were inside the bloodline tracking formation. And anyone without the amulet would be seen as an intruder.
"Leave us. I wish to discuss few things with the clan heir and his father." spoke the clan head in his domineering voice.
"But.. But clan leader.. We are here to protect master Eren." spoke a female warrior.
"And you think you can protect him better than me?" asked the clan head and released his bloodlust in the surrounding.
The people froze under his immense murderous bloodlust and felt like a dangerous predator was looking at them.
"We understand, clan leader. We will leave you alone until your orders." said an elven swordsman and all the guards followed behind him.
The Semi-Saint clan head could easily provide security ten times better than them.
The clan head walked inside after opening the door, his entry not triggering any alarms.
The sound of his footsteps alerted the father and son duo who were whispering in between them.
But as soon as both of them saw the tall figure of the clan head.. The color from their faces disappeared and both of them turned pale the next second.
"What is it, Bartholomew? You look like you've seen a ghost." spoke the clan head and gave a light smirk at the father and son duo.
"C.. Cl... Clan head." stuttered the father as if he had seen an actual ghost.
"You don't look very pleased to see me." spoke the clan head again.
"No.. Nothing as such, clan leader. We just didn't expect to see you at this late hour." spoke Eren and bowed in front of the clan head.
"What can we do for you, clan head?" asked Bartholomew who quickly recovered from his surprise and put in an act of obedience again.
"Nothing much.." spoke the clan head.
SHRILL!
A dark barrier covered the entire room and everything inside was isolated from the outside. It was exactly the same Domain Artifact the assassins had used to isolate the battlefield. All it needed was a huge amount of mana to activate, something that Kahn didn't lack. Although his mana decreased by 600 points with the single use, he wasn't the kind to depend on it in the first place.
Suddenly, his war dominance aura filled the entire place and put both the blonde men on the ground.
Before they could retaliate, Kahn used Void Realm again and an extension was plunged inside the father's head before he could even move.
Eren who was horrified as soon as he saw the clan head kill his father and was stunned on the spot.
A ghastly voice landed on his ears as he saw the clan head looking at him with eyes full of murderous bloodlust.
"Now then.. Prepare for the last day of your life."

Author : THIS IS A FORMAL APOLOGY TO THE OLD-TIME READERS OF THE NOVEL. PLEASE READ IT.
Recently it has been brought to my attention by some readers that the power scaling & level system in the Novel is kind of illogical when it comes to Stats & Attributes for some of the strongest characters. I did some rechecking and that was indeed a problem.
Your friendly neighborhood dumbass Author of this novel messed up.
*inserts monkey looking away meme*
In my defense.. All I could say that I was a complete noob in writing sector back in the day and based levels and stats that appeared reasonable all those months ago when MC had just entered this world. So I would like to formally extend an apology to all of those who have been supporting and following the novel for some time.
Let me explain how Stat categories work here.
Strength = Pure physical strength.
Agility = Physical speed and maneuverability.
Dexterity = It's the gaming term for action speed or hit rate. Like how fast can someone fight while using a weapon or magical skills.
Defense = Physical Defense (Defensive skills & abilities not included.)
Mana = Character's mana storage & usage capacity.
Also, the higher your rank, the more stats gained when you increase your levels.
Characters such as Rudra & Omega with Godbeast bloodlines will gain more stat points with each Level & Rank up compared to other subordinates.
As for the significant effects of Kahn's War Deity Body, they'll only be important after he breaks through Saint Rank.
Now, here are the new retconned stats and levels for some of the main characters. They have been edited and replaced in the old chapters already. Also, the details on the stats of the other subordinates will be provided in the epilogue chapter.
The current levels and stats for some important characters so far.
