Vildred suddenly revealed a terrifying fact that Kahn had no idea about even now. This information wasn't mentioned in any books he read regarding magic either. Not because it was some sort of taboo but because Kahn was probably the first ever person in the world of Vantrea to have accomplished this without the standard approach.

"Many who unlock these magic jobs and classes must cross these thresholds of natural affinity, bloodlines and enlightenment to adapt and overcome their body's restrictions.

This is different from physical classes who need to train in their respective weapons, combat techniques and break past their limits as well as achieve overwhelming talent and skill in their respective profession.

Only then you can become a saint magician or so." he stern voice reverberated in the room.

"Because of your divine abilities, you already unlocked the body strong enough to endure these transformations and ability to withstand world energy.

Which allowed you to directly use these skills and spells, something that shouldn't be happening in the first place." he iterated in a domineering tone.

"Although you have already met the physical conditions, your mind and soul are not tempered enough in the magic field and that is why despite your blessings, you still haven't been able to get past the Intermediate Grandmaster stage in Law of Magic ever after all these years.

But even so, you too need to receive enlightenment for your body and soul to form that synergy and become a saint magician." he spoke.

Explaining how serious this situation was.

Kahn was mortified that all this time, there was a risk of his soul getting destroyed.

The next moment, Rathnaar also spoke in Kahn's mind.

[Even the War Deity Kravel had to follow this rule when he perfected magic and all elemental spells before becoming a Demi-God.

His blessings are useful in achieving that feat as well.

However, your divine abilities are far more powerful and terrifying as well.

It has given you way too many shortcuts till now. Shortcuts that go against the laws of nature itself.] the peak saint offered his insight.

"So in a way... You're lucky that you still haven't directly become a Saint in any magic class.

Otherwise, your soul wouldn't have been able to withstand the imbalance of soul and body as you would have basically skipped too many steps.

And the end result would be... Destruction." declared the royal dragon.

Kahn was petrified once again.

Turns out that him still being only an intermediate grandmaster magician actually kept Kahn alive till this point.

Vildred then asked in a somber tone.

"So which class do you want to pursue?"

To his query, Kahn replied with a determined tone.

"Enchanter and Magician."

Both Vildred and Rathnaar had a skeptical expressions.

"Summoner class is not my forte and I can't create creatures and constructs out of nowhere without practicing for years.

Learning from Romulus has already made it very clear to me." he gage his reasoning.

"However, thanks to him teaching me Harnessing and Conceptualization, my control over various elements and world energy has risen by ten folds.

Those are two classes I can also integrate with my fighting style as you said before." he iterated and then continued with a thoughtful gaze.

"Besides, I'm already a Semi-Saint Artificer as it was one of the conditions to become a Saint Blacksmith.

Also, I have 3 Blessings from the Deities of Blacksmithing. They can greatly help me in learning Magic formations too.

Like you said, I should start utilizing my blessings in the best way possible.

With them, I can learn Enchanter class by mastering Magic and Runic formations quickly.

As for the Magician Class, thanks to the abilities I gained along with natural passive affinity to many elements from various monsters whether legendary or mythical... I'll have fewer disadvantages while learning spells and attack skills." he revealed why he chose these two classes.

"And if I did manage to get them integrated into my skills along with the ones taught by Romulus after gaining enlightenment...

I can become terrifyingly powerful." he revealed a confident smile.

But to his words... Vildred scoffed as if he heard a joke.

"Gaining Enlightenment... It's easier said than done."

"Is that so? How many did you have then?" asked Kahn.

"5 Enlightenments in Law of Magic." revealed the Sage of Preservation.

"First enlightenment is enough to help you become a Grandmaster Mage. I'm sure you already had one yourself.

2nd for essential to become a Semi-Saint.

3rd enlightenment is the minimum threshold to become a Saint Magician, Enchanter or Summoner.

4th is the prerequisite for a person, no matter which element or law they use, to become an Archmage in their respective field.

An Archmage is extremely rare, the kind that is one in a billion people in our world." revealed Vildred.

"And finally... The 5th and the final enlightenment... It helps you become a Sage." he revealed a big ancient secret that was hidden from most of the world.

Only very few people in Vantrea were privy to this information.

[He speaks the truth, boy.

So far there were only 3 Sages I knew in my lifetime.

One was Vildred, 2nd being my friend Lezron Mikealson who was also called the First Sage of Rakos Empire, the one you received my core from.

If I wasn't present, he would definitely be the emperor instead of me.

Back then, he was also titled Elemental Sovereign.

A Sovereign is a title given only to 9th stage saints in the world of Vantrea.] explained the Peak Saint.

[As for the 3rd... It was a True Demon who was also the Apostle of Blood Deity.

He too was a 9th stage saint many believed he was aiding the Demon God over a thousand years ago.] revealed Rathnaar.

[Let me tell you something clear boy... An Archmage is akin to 4 Saint Mages of the same rank because of their control and inherent reserves of mana and world energy.

And a Sage... Is Like 7 to 8 of such Archmages combined.] he revealed an astonishing fact.

[Even at 8th stage saint rank, a Sage can go toe to toe against a 9th stage saint. On top of it, Vildred is a royal dragon at that.

If Vildred reached Peak 9th stage back then, he would be at least able to draw with me when I was Peak Saint, the strongest in the world.] he stated without holding back.

Kahn was already aware of Vildred and Rathnaar's ancient enmity. But even the peak saint himself admitted that a Sage and Royal Dragon like Vildred would have become his match if he was a 9th stage saint magician.

[You're lucky that this old ancient freak of a royal dragon, who once stood at the peak of this field has now accepted you as his disciple.

Even Ancient Rank spells that take weeks and months to cast are not a big problem for him.

So learn from him as much as you can.] he advised.

Kahn nodded in response, fully acknowledging that his new Master was indeed a worldwide terrifying existence.

"So what do I need to learn first?" he asked.

"Well, you have already broken many rules and how one normally studies the Law of Magic.

That's why, I'll teach you differently in both these classes." he spoke.

Next, they entered the Chamber of Exaltation, and stopped at the Convergence of Elements where Kahn mastered Conceptualization before.

"This is the best place for you to learn." spoke the dragon emperor.

"How do we start?"

Vildred smirked and let out an ominous smirk.

"By Overdosing."

Kahn stood stupefied at the Convergence of Elements.

What did Vildred mean by overdosing?

"This is also the best way for me because once you become a 7th stage saint... I will also be able to rise my ranks rapidly and make up for my lost rank of an 8th stage saint.

Once that happens... Our contract will be fulfilled much quicker than spending decades for it." he revealed, without explaining anything to Kahn.

"What do you mean by overdosing?" asked Kahn in a suspicious tone.

"You're a unique case whose existence goes against all the normal people and even all the Heroes who came before you since no one else chose your divine abilities." replied the Sage.

"You are not a legitimate mage like me and you still don't have a defined class because of your divine abilities even now.

But this is a way for you to achieve a similar effect." his voice resounded in the chamber.

Kahn was perplexed because he could feel something dangerous was going to happen.

Vildred spoke again in an insidious tone...

"The basic principle here is that I will forcefully increase all of your body's elemental affinities in one element at a time.

And then, we will balance them out with another element countering them.

This way, your own elemental affinity to these elements will no longer be a problem in your breakthrough and it won't hinder your progress or pose a requirement to master certain spells and magic formations or elemental attacks later." his voice echoed.

"So in a way, we will be using a shortcut instead of me naturally building up my affinity steadily in each element one by one?" he questioned with a baffled expression.

"Correct. Since your body is already that of a saint and you have access to world energy and mana without even meeting the requirements in the first place, it can endure this surge of elements and then gradually raise your affinity." revealed the dragon emperor.

"I sense a 'but' coming." spoke Kahn with an incredulous gaze.

Vildred smirked and responded...

"Naturally... It won't come without consequences." he spoke in a grim voice.

"This surge will feel... Intoxicating."
