The first reward Leon walked toward was the syringe filled with golden liquid.
It floated slightly above its pedestal, the liquid inside shimring faintly as if it were alive.
Even without a panel, Leon could feel that it wasn’t ordinary. His instincts scread 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!
[Enhancent Frenzy Liquid (Ancient): Injecting will guarantee the next enhancent to work (3/3 uses left)]1
"DAMN!"
Leon’s eyes widened instantly. He hadn’t expected anything remotely like this. No, he hadn’t even imagined it.
In all his fifteen years inside [Eternal Ascension], he had never once heard of an item that could guarantee an enhancent.1
Enhancents were one of the most brutal systems in the ga.
Even with expensive materials, rare catalysts, and specialized professions, success was never assured.
Failures destroyed items permanently.
That was why enhancent stones and luck-boosting charms sold for a high price.
But this? This erased the risk entirely.
Guaranteeing an enhancent was sothing 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 ntion 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 sothing truly irreplaceable.
Leon took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
’Later’, he thought. ’Way later.’
Once his excitent 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 elental energy.
Unlike the syringe, it didn’t float or shine extravagantly. It simply existed, heavy and immovable, like it had been waiting for soone for a very long ti.
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 Elents" and shown your true mastery of the basic elents.]
[As a result... you shall beco a master of them.]
Fwoosh!
A new panel appeared imdiately after.
[Do you wish to sacrifice all your four main elental 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 elental sub-talents? That wasn’t a small thing.
Those sub-talents could help his spell beco much stronger after all. So of them were already at high ranks.
Losing them outright would normally be unthinkable.
And yet... this was the reward for completing the assessnt.
An assessnt guarded by a dragon. A dragon that had tested his control over every elent 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 assessnt’s reward," Leon muttered, opening his eyes again. "So it must be good."
The system never gave aningless rewards, especially not after sothing like that fight.
After a full minute of silence, Leon made his choice.
He selected [Why not?].
Ding!
[You have sacrificed "Absolute Fla Control (A-Level)" to the "Elental Altar"]
[You have sacrificed "Wind Dominion (A-Level)" to the "Elental 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 elental 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 elental 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 elental 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 Elents"]
"DAMN!"
Leon didn’t even try to hide his reaction. This was absurd.
This sub-talent was sohow even stronger than the guardian dragon’s own [Elental Master] talent. That alone was proof of how ridiculous it was.
Anyone who obtained this would imdiately change their entire build.
Warriors would turn into spellblades. Assassins into elental burst monsters.
And mages? Mages would ascend. Leon quickly opened the sub-talent’s description.
---
[Master of Elents (SS-Level): You can master any and all basic elents (not advanced or supre) perfectly as long as you have a basic understanding of them, allowing your spells and attacks to beco much stronger.]
[Current Elents: 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 forr C-Level Earth Affinity was now operating at an SS-Level standard.
That ant sharper control. Stronger spells. Better efficiency. Less waste.
Everything elental 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 Elents.]
The fact that it existed ant only one thing.
"This can be expanded," Leon muttered.
He focused on the sub-talent, testing his theory.
Ding!
[Do you wish to sacrifice "Supre Lightning Affinity (A-Level)" to the "Master of Elents" sub-talent?]
"Yes!"
Ding!
["Lightning" has been added to your elents list.]
Leon opened the panel again.
[Current Elents: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning.]
"Bingo."
This confird it.
Even if Leon acquired an F-Level sub-talent related to a basic elent, 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 elents.]
Leon wasn’t surprised. Elents were classified into three categories: Basic, Advanced and Supre.
Fire, Wind, Water, Lightning, and Earth were basic.
Darkness and Blood were advanced.
As for supre elents... 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 ca from an eternal-level world. Soone so powerful they could fight entire armies alone.
If Leon ever acquired a supre elent... He would truly rise.
Unlike basic and advanced elents, supre elents 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 imdiately grew cautious. Eggs ant 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 Ti: 4,228 years, 327 days.]
...
A/N
Should I, at so 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.
Ancient is the rank after MythicalThere are so items that boost your chance, but none of them are 100%
