Hero of Darkness

Kahn continued his study for over a week and finished all the basic information and beginner-level books that would easily take another person nearly a year to properly read and understand the context and knowledge of. His eidetic memory along with his extremely heightened senses and fastly functioning mind proved extremely useful during this time.

And now that he had understood and comprehended all the basics of theory part… Kahn decided that it was finally time for practical study.

Kahn went to the new training facility that was built by the joint efforts of thousands of people proficient in their craft in a single day which he was using from the past one week.

He went to a big and isolated chamber and sat on a paved stone slab.

Kahn assumed the lotus buddha sitting stance and started meditating in the calm and silent chamber where nothing could distract him.

And for the first time… Kahn used both mana and world energy saturated inside his body at once. While the world energy moved every muscle and vein in his body, the mana swirled around his body parts… both moved in completely different directions but somehow.. Kahn felt a sense of synergy in between both these elements of reality.

Minutes passed as nothing happened but Kahn didn't move a muscle or flinched for a second as he meditated like a saint from the Himalayas who would remain unaffected during their meditation and not get affected by the frost or any adverse conditions in their surroundings.

Suddenly, he started feeling an oddity in the surrounding area as if everything in 100 meter radius around his body was completely frozen and time itself stopped.

Swoosh!

Crunk!

Just then, Kahn's control over the mana and world energy running through his body was broken and he returned to the present moment.

Kahn panted heavily and took deep breaths simultaneously as if he just returned from being dead to the world of the living, his forehead dropping beads of sweat at the same time.

"What the hell was that? I felt like I could touch and feel everything at the same time. I even felt the surface of the furniture in the room.. Even the tiles on the floor as if I was touching them with my hands." spoke Kahn after finally succeeding in feeling the space around him for the first time.

This was a completely different experience compared to feeling the mana & world energy. Before, he could only sense these elements of reality but now… using both of them together at once, he felt everything that was associated or occupied by them. And that included everything present around him as in this world… even a stone was made from mana itself.

Like earth, where atoms created the matter… Vantrea had mana as the foundation of everything.

And to Kahn… This new sensation was simply unbelievable.

Kahn then tried to meditate and feel the connection again. This time however, it took him less than 10 minutes to establish that connection with all the space around 100 meter radius.

He felt that connection again but it was broken just like before in a matter of a few seconds. And after Kahn tried this same procedure 10 more times…

Ding!

[Warning! The host's level has dropped by 1. The host is advised to stop consuming mana and world energy at the same time.] alerted the system.

Kahn's eyes were wide open as soon as he heard the warning notification.

"Fuck! I only tried it 11 times and already a lot of mana and world energy in my body is depleted.

No wonder people easily gave up and didn't dare to study this law. Raising your levels is already so hard in this world and they would be spending the majority of it just for a few attempts to practice space law." he spoke in a dejected tone.

Thanks to eating Solomon's core… the doors were already opened for Kahn and now he had to walk through them by himself. But taking a single step forward came with a price.

And that was to sacrifice your mana and world energy which took months and years to gather... just to scratch the surface of the space law.

"I see. So there's only one option now." spoke Kahn and the next moment, he took out a white and bright round object from his space ring that was as big as the size of a full-grown Hippopotamus.

The First Emperor's core. This was the miniature version of the peak saint swordsman's core aka Rathanar, the first emperor of the Rakos Empire.

Kahn then touched the core that brightened the entire room with its blinding white light without any worries and spoke…

"Calm down… reduce it." he ordered and the next second, the white light subsided and the core only glimmered dim white.

Kahn on the other hand felt an innate connection to this core as he was now the sole owner of it after the First Sage, Lerzon Mikealson, whose remnant soul phantom was guarding and waiting for the worthy person; handed down the ownership to Kahn after he cleared the final dungeon boss and became the rightful successor of the first emperor.

[The host is in direct contact with the peak saint's core.

The core is an unimaginably powerful and vast source of mana and world energy.] reported the system.

"Can I use it directly as a source?" asked Kahn.

[Yes. The core is bound to the host's soul. The host can channel the world energy and mana in it as a source to practice magic and space law.] replied the system.

"Great! I should've used it when I started studying magic back then. Maybe I'd at least be a grandmaster rank mage now." spoke Kahn.

[Incorrect. The host can use the core properly at this point because he naturally developed a connection to mana through his own understanding and talent.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to channel the mana or world energy inside this core even now.] spoke the system in its robotic voice.

"Phew! I guess it was a good choice to not take any shortcuts." sighed Kahn and gave a command to the core that he felt a sense of mental and physical bond with.

"Okay… give me just 0.01% of mana and world energy." ordered Kahn and the following moment…

BOOM!!

Kahn's clothes fluttered as a shockwave was released from his body and he felt a terrifying surge of energy running through his muscles and blood vessels.

Kahn shouted in an exhilarated tone as he felt his body going under the Super Saiyan mode.

"Power!.... Too much power!!"
