Hero of Darkness

Vildred explained the side effects of this technique he was going to use on Kahn in order to forcefully raise his elemental affinities as the latter glanced at him with a confused expression.

"Each time we do this… you will feel like you're overdosing on some pleasure drug.

But the biggest danger is that your body will not be able to restrain itself, even after the elemental affinity and reserves are at the highest capacity and saturation based on the current threshold… your body will keep asking for more without thinking of the consequences." he explained.

In a way, it was similar to a drug addict who would keep asking for more 'good stuff' despite knowing that it will definitely kill them.

"Wouldn't that mean I could just explode from this overdose?" asked Kahn with a suspicious countenance.

Vildred only nodded and continued in a cautious voice.

"But that's not the end.

Since we would need another element to balance it, we will have to move to the next element that is either more powerful than that element we injected or it's weaker and naturally adverse to it.

Means if we were to start with fire, next we will have to go with water." he simplified.

"Well, I can endure those two." responded Kahn.

Vildred on the other hand, shook his head.

"Here, your identity as Hero of Darkness is your biggest enemy.

Because for this condition to fulfill and balance out all the elements of reality in your body… I will also have to fill your body with those two elements as well." he revealed in a grim voice.

As soon as Kahn heard it… He revealed an aghast expression, fully understanding what the dragon emperor meant here.

"Lightning… I can control it even inside your body because I currently have the highest affinity to Lightning in the entire world.

Even the Hero of Lightning of this new generation can't be compared to be. Just like you can't be compared to my brothers who have Darkness and Fire elements.

You will have to be at least a 9th stage saint to be their equal or superior in those elements." he iterated somberly.

"However, You have some resistance against Lightning. You at least won't die easily against it.

But the problem is the Light element." declared the Sage of Preservation.

"During this reformation procedure, we can't skip on it no matter what.

Otherwise, the other elements will go out of control.

And when I forcefully inject your body with light element…

You will suffer immense and immeasurably terrifying pain. Something that's enough to kill any being with the darkness element easily." he said with an indignant countenance.

"However, due to your regeneration abilities and your title as Hero of Darkness…

You won't die. But the agonizing pain will be burning your blood, your flesh, disintegrating your bones and everything in your body.

It will be like you're being annihilated and pulverized every waking second.

Each moment will feel like you've died hundreds of times already." he revealed another tormenting side effect of this technique.

"Is there no other way?" asked Kahn with a helpless tone.

"No. Not unless you want to spend a century to achieve this feat.

If not for you having access to the Chamber of Exaltation, I wouldn't have even suggested this method because it's impossible to do in the outside world." spoke the lightning dragon emperor.

"This is just the Law of Equivalent Exchange again. Nothing comes without a price.

The carrot and stick method where the carrot is as small as a finger while the stick is as big as a tower." said Kahn as he analyzed the situation from his perspective.

But the next moment, Vildred chimed in again and declared the aftereffects.

"However… Once we go through this and if we succeed.

Out of the 12 Heroes, 6 of whom are representatives of the Gods who represent 6 elements of the creation of Vantrea…"

In the following moments, Vildred's eyes gleamed and his voice became confident and tyrannical at the same time.

"None of them will ever be able to kill you."

10 MINUTES LATER.

Kahn sat in the epicenter of the Convergence of Reality where all elements in the world gathered.

"Kaidbwlah Ksbmroa Bmaodbek Opktbsna Jagfange!"

Vildred started chanting in ancient Draconian language which neither Kahn nor Rathnaar could understand.

Soon, 10 glowing yellow small formations, only as big as a tea saucer, appeared at Kahn's shoulders, wrists, and knees. One on his chest, another on his back and the backside of waist.

And the last one above his head.

Soon, they let out a suction force like a black hole.

Vildred used his black and golden scepter with a blue dragon coiling at the top, to create a barrier and only allowed fire elements to pass through.

"Know this… It will hurt like hell even with your immunity to fire water and darkness.

Because it's not an enemy attack but rather, we're forcefully injecting it inside every vital part of your body to create these reserves.

Your affinity to elements will help a bit but once the threshold that your body as a 4th stage saint is met, it will become painful and start to become unbearable.

You must endure it and not faint." he explained the pain that was to follow.

Even Kahn could tell that this was the purest and most potent condensed form of the fire element, at least 5 times more powerful than the outside world.

Finally, the wormholes spread over his body and started sucking it in.

"Now, start using Harnessing and try to create a thin layer of fire elemental world energy.

Slowly and steadily spread it over your entire body." he ordered Kahn.

"What is this called?" asked Kahn.

"It's an Ancient technique created by a Deity who served the God of Nature.

It's called… the Elemental Transfusion."

Just then, the system warned Kahn.

[WARNING!

Forceful Elemental Transfusion has begun!

The host's body is under protective mode.]

"No, shut down all the protective measures." he ordered with a voice filled with indomitable willpower.

"Do not use them no matter how much it hurts."

[Command Accepted.] responded the system.

At this moment, what Kahn didn't know was that compared to the physical and mental torture he faced while practicing Harnessing and Conceptualization; He was going to suffer a fate…

Worse than Death.
