After Kahn called out Armin and asked if this Legendary rank creature named Ashokvatika would be suitable for him for a new rank-up.

The reason he thought Armin would be the best candidate here was that during his previous evolution to High Lord rank…

Armin was mixed with Grandmaster Alchemist Prithvi. The one Kahn and Albestros carried the Passage Rites for after they went to the capital Rathna and had nowhere else to go.

After his pitiful death, Kahn decided to use his body and upgraded Armin. But while doing so, Armin had unlocked a legendary Class named The Pathfinder.

According to the system, Armin had met the conditions to acquire this class because he had both skills of a Healer and by getting mixed with an Alchemist and acquiring his skill… he met the prerequisite conditions.

But this wasn't the biggest factor. But rather the species of the Ashokvatika.

Because Prithvi Aranya was a Leshen, a wood elemental species inhabiting this empire. And the creature in front of Kahn was the same albeit a very high-ranked bloodline.

This was the best specimen Kahn could ask for. So naturally, he thought of Armin to receive his new rank-up.

"Merge." commanded Kahn.

The next second, the Synthesis divine ability started its work and both Armin and this gigantic creature were covered under a pitch-black shadow and the procedure began.

Kahn let out a deep sigh and finally felt like he could absorb the shock he received from absorbing all those amazing abilities from Ashokvatika.

Telepathy Link, the skill that allowed Kahn to telepathically communicate with all the subordinates within a 100 kilometers radius was actually a godsend ability.

Because even now, the limitations of Kahn's Hive Mind link despite getting ranked up twice was only limited to 10 kilometers radius around him.

Although the name sounded simple and nothing noteworthy… the effects were ten times more than the Hive Mind skill.

Although they had epic rank communication artifacts that even transmitted voice messages to 500 kilometers… they needed to speak the message for it.

There was no mind-to-mind connection. And Kahn had found this very inconvenient because if he wanted to relay orders to a general or subordinate who was at a longer distance during their day-to-day life or even in a battle… he had to go through the risk of someone being able to hear his orders.

So Kahn was thoroughly impressed. And he also understood that this was the main reason why the legendary Ashokvatika could control so many minions from even 50 kilometers away.

Life Force Restoration, the skill which allowed Kahn to restore the physical state of any subordinate using World Energy by converting it into Life Force would be his first legitimate skill related to the healing class that actually made a difference.

He could even Revive a dead subordinate if he had enough world energy.

Even though he couldn't use it without becoming a saint first… this was undoubtedly another cheat code ability that would be extremely helpful in the future.

Nature Control skill on the other hand…. Allowed Kahn to telepathically control low-ranked monsters and wood elemental creatures within 30 kilometers radius who would become part of his personal army.

This was by far his biggest crowd control skill. Because apart from his subordinates, he had no control over other creatures.

Although the range of applications was limited, he could use this skill to even turn the enemy side and make them fight for himself if they were low leveled than himself or belonged to the wood elemental species.

Him being unable to move while using this skill was a logical constraint because his mind would be under great pressure while controlling the other creatures. So Kahn had no problems with it.

King of the Forest ability was already on the OP abilities list because of the uses it had.

Kahn could simply sense or even attack an enemy force using plants and trees since he could control them in a 20 kilometers region.

It was like leading an enemy into a battlefield that was already made to help you win the war.

Roots of Nature ability basically turned Kahn into Poison Ivy.

Because he could control and change the shapes of roots buried in the ground to create constructs and even weapons as per his will in a 10 kilometers radius.

Means, even nature itself was his weapon. He could create a wall, a shield, and even a sword using these gigantic roots if he wanted. And in a large-scale battle in a forested region, he basically had the battlefield acting as a trap that would appear right from the ground and finish off his enemies.

Even if Kahn couldn't use any of these skills as of now because they needed huge reserves of World Energy… he was certain that they'd definitely become one of his top aces after he broke through.

While Kahn was lost in his thoughts, Blackwall spoke to him.

"Master… I sense the same aura from this monster which I and Oliver did when we fought against the Caladrius." he said in a solemn tone.

Shocked!

Kahn was dumbfounded as soon as he heard Blackwall's words.

"Means this legendary rank creature was also mind-controlled into attacking the border just like Caladrius was.

What the hell is going on…." spoke Kahn with a flabbergasted expression.

Not just one but two Legendary rank monsters were forced to attack the borders of the monster tide hotspot location.

And the only thing he could conclude was that both these legendary rank monsters were just small pawns in the big game.

And regardless of their reasons… It was Kahn who had to deal with the aftermath since he was the Sovereign of this fiefdom.

He had no choice but to find the truth behind these two monster attacks on the borders. Because whoever was pulling the strings from behind the shadows… Kahn knew one thing for certain.

"Whoever or whatever is controlling these legendary rank monsters…" said Kahn with a serious expression.

"Is something we can't afford to mess with."
