In front of the amalgamation form of Oliver, whose upper body looked like a mixture of a white-colored Xenomorph from the Alien movie franchise with six large black wings, Kahn stood with an awestruck expression.
After hearing the name of the variant species, he fell short on words about how to describe his amazement.
Unlike the majority of the ignorant people from earth who knew nothing about outside world cultures, Kahn was someone who liked learning and exploring different aspects of foreign cultures.
He often read about them in novels and watched references in Animes. And then his curiosity always led him to find authentic sources.
Although Kahn wasn’t an expert, he knew enough superficial information such as common knowledge of Asian, Greek, Norse and Egyptian mythological creatures.
And Horus was one of the very famous Egyptian Gods. But on top of that, he was a variant of the Garuda species. In Asian mythologies, Garuda was also the ruler of the sky and the first primordial bird in many countries as per their cultural lore and beliefs.
[Could there be a connection to my previous world?] thought Kahn.
[Is it because I used a peak grandmaster Tengu that he invoked a rare Garuda bloodline?]
“System, show me all of his stats, abilities & skills again.” ordered Kahn with a thoughtful expression.

The system recounted all the new set of skills of the now Emerald Archer subordinate who took a big leap in strength and abilities.
“Even if I had absorbed that Tengu’s abilities first.. I still wouldn’t have managed to get all these amazing skills. Maybe next time.. ” spoke Kahn.
He knowingly didn’t absorb the abilities as a test because he wanted to see if he didn’t use Ability Absorption divine ability on the specimens before merging, how would that affect the subordinates while ranking up.
And to his surprise, Oliver ended up invoking a bloodline effect and even achieved a unique class just like Omega, Armin and Jugram.
After getting a gist of all the skills.. He knew one thing for sure that…
Kahn currently lacked an air force of his own and with the skills Oliver gained after being merged with the tengu archer, he was definitely worth investing in.
Jetstream & Garuda Wings ability basically made him a fighter jet when flying. In the future, Oliver had the potential to be like Superman as far as flying was concerned, creating sonic booms during the flight.
Horus Eye ability was similar like a surveillance drone doing a recon from the air. And with Hive Mind skills, Kahn could share the vision with the subordinate and see everything through his eyes while gathering information and looking for someone or something.
Sky Lord skill made Oliver comparable to Kahn who had Sword Battlemaster skill which was also comparable to a Saint Rank skill. The only difference was that Kahn could control the swords of the enemies while Oliver could control wind elemental spells and attacks.
Guardian of the Squadron was a perfect skill for a leader of a squadron who provided the entire troop with buff skills just like Jugram & Blackwall. The former gave attack damage buff to allies while the latter gave health and defense buffs to the team.
Arrowstorm was just like Kahn’s Sword King skill which was comparable to a Saint Rank skill just with the arrows in Oliver’s case.
Descent of the Sun skill made Oliver even a bigger threat in an open battle when they fought enemy forces during the daytime. And the more time he spent fighting under a bright sun, the deadlier he would become. Similar to Ceril, Omega & Jugram who got stronger with time with the number of enemies they killed in an open battle.
And then there was the Stormbreaker skill…
Oliver was Kahn’s version of Storm from X-men who could also control weather at her own will. The only difference was Oliver’s range was currently limited because of his levels and rank.
Luckily, he used Bow & Arrows and not an axe.. Otherwise, he would demand ‘Bring me Thanos!’ with that skill name alone.
Kahn was now content with the upgrade his ranger subordinate received after the synthesis.
“Take a human form.” he commanded to Oliver.
A minute later, a mature and charming-looking man with hair parted from the middle that covered both sides of his face with luscious locks stood in front of Kahn. His height, build and appearance matching to his master.
But the most notable aspect was the two black wings on his back that made him look like a mixblood hybrid between human and tengu species.
Kahn took out an epic rank gear for the archer and handed it to the subordinate as well as the epic rank bow used by Tormund, the peak grandmaster archer.
Kahn looked at the now dressed subordinate who gave an aura of a honed hunter.
“Thank you, Master.” spoke Oliver. His eerie and soul-shivering voice had turned into a pleasing and soft tone, contradicting his original appearance.
“Alright. Time for you to come out of hiding and get to work like others. There are no free meals. So you better prove your worth from now on.” spoke Kahn.
“Yes, Master. I shall do so. It’s also about time for me to…” spoke Oliver as he at his broad black wings and continued..
“Soar in the sky.”
