Since Nitis, the [Blood Shield] had been Khan's most powerful defensive spell. It had saved his life many times, even when against opponents he wouldn't normally be able to face.
Still, the alien spell had harsh requirements and drawbacks. It was heavy on the body, especially as its power increased, and the materials necessary to improve it grew rarer at each new checkpoint.
For once, Khan felt able to ignore those issues. His fame and wealth would grant him the necessary materials even without the powerful Radola. Also, the transformation and his new level were bound to make him suitable for the [Blood Shield]'s next checkpoint, allowing him to put the problem aside.
However, a glaring issue remained, and the Radola's level was to blame for that. Khan's control had never stopped improving, but the Tainted animal remained a material in the realm of fourth-level warriors. He might need multiple attempts to create what he needed. He might even fail.
