The First Half

As soon as Rudra informed Kahn about the bloodline of the legendary rank snake monster, the latter was left speechless on the spot. Because although Kahn often thought of Rudra as a Basilisk… he forgot that his subordinate was actually a variant and not a true basilisk or a descendant unlike the Somir he managed to kill in the past by sheer luck or the Bjormngandur that they were now targeting. 

"What?! How do you know?" asked Kahn with a bewildered expression. 

"You can't sense it because you're not truly a Basilisk in any way. 

You only possess the bloodline but don't know how to use it if not for that system thing of yours. 

I, on the other hand, can feel the sense of inkling as well as rivalry from that bloodline." elaborated Rudra.

"I see. So then… we'll do our part and keep those things out of your way. And if you can't defeat it… just run away. There's no shame in losing." spoke Kahn with a thoughtful expression.
