Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Enhancement Frenzy Liquid, SS-Level Master of Elements Sub-Talent
The first reward Leon walked toward was the syringe filled with golden liquid.
It floated slightly above its pedestal, the liquid inside shimmering faintly as if it were alive.
Even without a panel, Leon could feel that it wasn’t ordinary. His instincts screamed value. He didn’t hesitate.
Leon stepped forward and grabbed the syringe, his fingers wrapping around the cold glass before lifting it closer to his eyes. Only then did the system panel appear.
Ding!
“DAMN!”
Leon’s eyes widened instantly. He hadn’t expected anything remotely like this. No, he hadn’t even imagined it.
Enhancements were one of the most brutal systems in the game.
Even with expensive materials, rare catalysts, and specialized professions, success was never assured.
Failures destroyed items permanently.
That was why enhancement stones and luck-boosting charms sold for a high price.
But this? This erased the risk entirely.
Guaranteeing an enhancement was something players in the [Higher Domain] or [Eternal Domain] would quite literally kill for.
Guild wars had started over far less.
This syringe alone could sell for millions of [Eternal Coins], depending on who bought it and what they intended to enhance.
Legendary weapons. Ancient armor. Sub-talents at the edge of evolution.
Leon’s heartbeat quickened slightly as he realized just how dangerous it was to even possess this thing.
Without wasting another second, he stored the syringe inside his [Storage Space].
’No one should know,’ He swore it silently.
He wouldn’t mention it. Not even to himself out loud. An item like this was an invitation to disaster if the wrong person found out.
He also knew better than to use it now. Using it at his current stage would be stupid.
Three uses. That was all it had. Each one needed to be saved for something truly irreplaceable.
Leon took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
’Later’, he thought. ’Way later.’
Once his excitement settled, he turned his gaze toward the left side of the room. The altar stood there.
It was carved from pale stone, covered in ancient markings that pulsed faintly with elemental energy.
Unlike the syringe, it didn’t float or shine extravagantly. It simply existed, heavy and immovable, like it had been waiting for someone for a very long time.
Leon approached it cautiously. As soon as he extended his hand toward the altar, a system sound rang out.
Ding!
[You have defeated the “Guardian Dragon of Elements” and shown your true mastery of the basic elements.]
[As a result… you shall become a master of them.]
Fwoosh!
A new panel appeared immediately after.
[Do you wish to sacrifice all your four main elemental talents to the altar?]
[Yes] [Why not?]
“Hm.”
Leon frowned slightly. This was far more confusing than the syringe.
The wording was strange. Sacrifice his four main elemental sub-talents? That wasn’t a small thing.
Those sub-talents could help his spell become much stronger after all. Some of them were already at high ranks.
Losing them outright would normally be unthinkable.
And yet… this was the reward for completing the assessment.
An assessment guarded by a dragon. A dragon that had tested his control over every element he possessed.
Leon narrowed his eyes and thought carefully.
’If this altar just deletes them, that would be ridiculous’, he thought. ’But that makes no sense.’
“This is the assessment’s reward,” Leon muttered, opening his eyes again. “So it must be good.”
The system never gave meaningless rewards, especially not after something like that fight.
After a full minute of silence, Leon made his choice.
He selected [Why not?].
Ding!
[You have sacrificed “Absolute Flame Control (A-Level)” to the “Elemental Altar”]
[You have sacrificed “Wind Dominion (A-Level)” to the “Elemental Altar”]
[You have sacrificed “Deep Water Affinity (B-Level)”…]
[You have sacrificed “Earth Affinity (C-Level)”…]
Fwish!
Four orbs burst out of Leon’s body in that instant.
Each one glowed with a different color: red, green, gray, and brown, representing the four elemental sub-talents he had just given up.
The orbs floated briefly in the air before slamming into the altar one after another. With each impact, the altar trembled.
The ancient markings carved into its surface lit up, growing brighter and brighter as elemental energy flooded into it.
And then—
Ding!
[You shall be blessed.]
BOOM!
A blinding ray of light erupted from the altar and struck Leon directly in the chest. His entire body jolted violently.
Pure elemental aura surged through him, leaking from his mouth, his eyes, even his skin.
His vision blurred as power rushed into his core, overwhelming his senses for several long seconds.
When the light finally faded, Leon stood there breathing heavily, his hair fluttering slightly as residual energy dispersed.
A new panel appeared.
Ding!
[You have received the SS-Level Sub-Talent: “Master of Elements”]
“DAMN!”
Leon didn’t even try to hide his reaction. This was absurd.
This sub-talent was somehow even stronger than the guardian dragon’s own [Elemental Master] talent. That alone was proof of how ridiculous it was.
Anyone who obtained this would immediately change their entire build.
Warriors would turn into spellblades. Assassins into elemental burst monsters.
And mages? Mages would ascend. Leon quickly opened the sub-talent’s description.
—
[Master of Elements (SS-Level): You can master any and all basic elements (not advanced or supreme) perfectly as long as you have a basic understanding of them, allowing your spells and attacks to become much stronger.]
[Current Elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind.]
—
Leon stared at the panel, then slowly grinned.
It didn’t look flashy. But he understood it perfectly.
Every single one of his sacrificed sub-talents—regardless of their original rank—had effectively been condensed into a single SS-Level talent.
Even his former C-Level Earth Affinity was now operating at an SS-Level standard.
That meant sharper control. Stronger spells. Better efficiency. Less waste.
Everything elemental he used from now on would be on an entirely different level.
’I wonder how destructive [Powerful Fireball] and [Storm of Lightning] are now’, Leon thought.
Then his eyes shifted to one specific line: [Current Elements.]
The fact that it existed meant only one thing.
“This can be expanded,” Leon muttered.
He focused on the sub-talent, testing his theory.
Ding!
[Do you wish to sacrifice “Supreme Lightning Affinity (A-Level)” to the “Master of Elements” sub-talent?]
“Yes!”
Ding!
[“Lightning” has been added to your elements list.]
Leon opened the panel again.
[Current Elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning.]
“Bingo.”
This confirmed it.
Even if Leon acquired an F-Level sub-talent related to a basic element, he could sacrifice it and instantly elevate it to SS-Level through this ability.
Of course, it wasn’t limitless.
Beep!
[You cannot sacrifice “Darkness” and “Blood” as they are advanced elements.]
Leon wasn’t surprised. Elements were classified into three categories: Basic, Advanced and Supreme.
Fire, Wind, Water, Lightning, and Earth were basic.
Darkness and Blood were advanced.
As for supreme elements… they were on an entirely different level.
They were so rare that Leon only knew of one: Void.
In his previous life, the player who possessed Void came from an eternal-level world. Someone so powerful they could fight entire armies alone.
If Leon ever acquired a supreme element… He would truly rise.
Unlike basic and advanced elements, supreme elements unlocked unique abilities and could actively reshape battles.
Still, Leon was more than satisfied. He turned toward the final reward. If it could even be called that.
Unlike the syringe and the altar, this one was simply… an egg.
A crimson egg resting quietly on the stone floor.
Leon immediately grew cautious. Eggs meant beasts.
“That’s probably what the dragon was protecting,” Leon muttered as he stepped closer. “Gotta be careful.”
If dragons wanted it safe, then it wasn’t ordinary. As he approached, a final panel appeared.
Ding!
[Primordial Dragon of Chaos (Unhatched)]
[Rank: Divine]
[Hatching Time: 4,228 years, 327 days.]
…
A/N
Should I, at some point, reveal Leon’s entire status panel, including all the items he is wearing right now?
It would only be done once in a while but would help contextualise what he has.
