BXBX NOVEL Chapter 411 - The Final Decision
But instead of following his usual routine of absorbing the ability and skills of the legendary rank monster as he does every time… Kahn had different priorities at the moment.
The main reason being it would take him half a day just to complete the process and he didn\'t have that much time on hand as there was someone who needed immediate help.
Thud!!
Crack!!
Both Oliver and Blackwall woke up from their forced slumber and Kahn ordered the titan general to pull out the deceased Caladrius from the pitfall including its head.
As for Oliver, he commanded him to go back and bring back their warship that was 25 kilometers away, waiting for them to return.
Kahn then returned to the cave where Armin was still healing Kassandra with the best of his abilities. Her sweaty forehead and palms indicated that her body was under some sort of distressed situation while her aura seemed much weaker than before.
"Master… I can feel her soul and life force diminishing at a fast pace. Even my healing skills aren\'t working.
She doesn\'t have much time left." spoke Armin while his hands full of green glowing aura were moving over her body as he tried to heal her damaged soul.
"How much time does she have?" asked Kahn who stood behind them with a solemn expression.
"At best… she will live for 8 hours. Because she is a semi-saint, her soul was already stronger than normal people. But the damage she received was also many times more because of it.
I thought she\'d have a day to live but minutes ago… her life force started dwindling quickly." replied Armin.
"Means there\'s a chance that we won\'t even have 8 hours." spoke Kahn with a somber voice.
Armin nodded in response, not denying the possibility.
Soon, their warship arrived and Kahn boarded it along with Armin. He left Oliver and Blackwall who already returned to their human forms in charge of bringing more warships and carrying the ginormous body of the Caladrius to the capital Aesir.
An hour later, they all returned to Kaldris, the site of the battle where the legendary rank monster attacked and had too many dead bodies of the fallen soldier.
Omega and Ronin had come this morning and brought all the war relief supplies and reinforcements as Kahn commanded before departing Aesir.
And now, Armin and Kahn had brought Kassandra into a mansion owned under Kahn\'s name that was close to the military outpost.
In the past hour alone, Kassandra\'s aura had dimmed by half.
"Master… tell me your final decision. The procedure can not wait for long. Her life force is diminishing rapidly.
If we wait… it will make things harder, even for me." said Armin.
Kahn who still had a conflicted expression spoke as he looked at Kassandra who seemed to be in physical agony despite being unconscious.
"I guess the saying is right…" he said and continued.
"The hardest choices require the strongest wills."
Spoke Kahn and gave a determined look to Armin.
"I will do it."

10 MINUTES LATER.
Kahn now slept beside Kassandra and intertwined his left palm\'s fingers with hers.
Not because he wanted to do the \'indecent handholding\' but because Armin told him to do so.
