As soon as the system informed Kahn, he was brought back from his trance and noticed a change in his body. His eyes opened wide quickly and he felt like something inside of him was trying to break.

Crack! Crack!

A sudden crackling noise came inside from his body and as if some form of restriction inside him was loosening up, a strong pressure was released.

Boom!!

A loud boom resounded in the facility and a blue aura made from mana erupted from Kahn's body.

As soon as the burst of mana subsided, he felt like the constraint on him regarding inner space which held mana inside him expanded for the first time.

This was a breakthrough!

Unlike before when he rose in ranks for weapon mastery and physical strength This time, he felt like the surrounding area around him was now more vibrant and his senses became more acute despite being a semi-saint rank person already.

Kahn could sense small granules of condensed mana spread in the air, his vision and mind even clearer than before. The newfound understanding was something he hadn't experienced in his new life so far.

But instead of getting excited or happy, the first thing he did was try to establish a connection to the mana that he could finally see when focused properly.

Kahn waved his hands and summoned the mana particles towards him, trying to coalesce them together and form a big orb. And once the orb was saturated, he tried to change the structure of the mana and turned the orb into a fireball spell.

Compared to before he broke through, the now cast fireball spell felt twice more efficient, hotter and the density was multiple by many times.

"So that's how those magicians became so overwhelmingly powerful. Not only do they use their inner reserves of mana but they can borrow it from the environment around them as well.

No wonder the difference between damage and area of effect they can do is many times bigger than any physical class jobs. These guys have a free supply of power already." said Kahn after being enlightened with this fact.

"System, show me my current stats. And tell me what improvements happened to my body after breaking through to a beginner rank magician." he commanded.

[Following are the Statistics of the host :

Name : Kahn (Host)

Species : Human

Job : All for One

Rank : Semi-Saint Rank

Level : 138

Strength : 6638

Agility : 5097

Dexterity : 6247

The host has increased the mana pool and storage capacity by 500 Stat points after breaking through to the Beginning Rank magician. With each rank up in this class, the host will gain an additional 1000 stats for mana. The higher the rank and levels, the more mana capacity shall increase.] revealed the system.

"This does put a smile on my face." said Kahn after hearing the response.

The 3 weeks of arduous and consistent training that was putting a lot of mental stress on him finally paid off.

Breaking through physical ranks was one thing, he could do it with training and weapons mastery. But for magic, it was his own mind and understanding of mana and spells that could help him rise in ranks.

currently, he didn't have any ability that could increase his comprehensive performance in studying magic. Even his eidetic memory couldn't help him as this was a completely new field. Only through improving his knowledge and experience, would he be able to reach higher ranks.

Kahn was no natural-born genius and even his divine abilities & blessings could get him so far. Without putting in the effort, he won't achieve anything. And if he ignored it only a regretful death will await him in the future if his identity was ever revealed as the entire world would hunt him because he was the Hero of Darkness.

"Baby steps buddy, baby steps." said Kahn as he patted himself on the shoulder.

[I guess I should start mastering the other elements as soon as I'm done with these two. Maybe they'll help raise my rank and comprehension even more.] he thought.

"Wait.. How can I forget this" a sudden realization struck him. Despite having an eidetic memory.. He had completely forgotten about one of the key sets of skills he already had but because he was only using weapons skills ever since he came to Rathna, he ended up ignoring these skills.

"Show me all the skills and abilities I have from absorbing Solomon & eating his core." commanded Kahn.

The semi-saint magician was someone extremely well versed being in magic and Kahn finally had a reason to use the skills he got from the Elven mage.

[Following are the skills & abilities the host acquired from the individual named Solomon Elfenheim :

Elemental Fusion (A Rank) (PASSIVE) :

Allows the host to create elemental mana orbs and use them as a source for Elemental spells and long-range attacks.

Light Barrier (A Rank) (ACTIVE) :

Allows the host to create a defensive barrier made from Light element.

Elemental Transformation (S Rank) (PASSIVE) :

Allows the host to transform the form of the elemental spells to another element.

Casting time for magic spells reduced by 35%

Space Haste (A Rank) (ACTIVE) :

Allows the host to use space magic to travel to 1 kilometer space in any direction.

The host is required to study and comprehend this ability.] replied the system.

"That's it! Elemental Fusion & Elemental Transformation is what I need the most now." said Kahn as a joyous smile appeared on his face.

The former ability was exactly what Solomon used to cast those elemental orbs and attack Kahn from a long distance, obliterating everything where they hit. And all of those spells had completely different elements such as wind and fire ingrained in them, giving all a different effect of damage output and variations.

The latter ability was something even more powerful. Because not only it would help him cast spells much faster and efficiently but also allow him to change the mana structure of his spells and change the elements of his attacks at a fast pace.

At this moment, only one thought came to his mind as he asked himself

"Should I go and hunt some more Elven mages?"
