As soon as I took the potion, my body felt weird. I felt like I was slowly losing my consciousness. I then tried to stay awake.
"Kid, try to solidify your [Dark reserve.]", Noel said.
I then tried to focus on my energy and stamina to solidify my reserve. I was now trying to weed out impurities out of my energy.
One By One.
One By One.
One By One.
"Hecke!?"My heart, it suddenly started to ache and I tried to still do it.
"Kid Hold on", said Gomez.
"Doctor, what is going on?", Gomez asked.
"I don't know, suddenly his vitals are showing major deviations. I have never seen such deviations in a stable array.", he said while trying to see what is going on in his tablet.
My body was now in an unimaginable pain as now I was squirming on the floor Gomez being surprised and Dr Rosch trying to find a way to stabilize.
Now suddenly, I felt my reserve get denser and higher in quality.
I immediately, saw five purplish windows appear in- front of me.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the array {Usurper (Combatant [Element 10]}]
[Your 'Spell' and 'Mastery' tab will fuse and become 'skill' tab.]
[You have gained Dark Blade (C-)
Weapon mastery (E-)
Formation creation (E-) skills.]
"Huff, huff", I was huffing for air at this point. I felt every worst way a person can feel.
I then immediately felt like inside my core a deep sea and I was falling through it.
"Ahn,", I returned to reality.
"Are you alright?", Gomez asked.
"Yeah, yeah, now I feel fine actually", I said, as I tried to move my body and did not feel any pain.
"Yeah, yeah I think I am fine.", I said.
[ 0% progress to element 9.]
"What is this?", I said in my mind.
"Congratulations! You have a stable array.", said Doctor Rosch.
"Even though, it wasn't quite a smooth journey. We had worse.", he continued.
"Well, at least you are safe.", said Gomez.
"What is the name of this array?", Dr Rosch asked me.
"Uh {Usurper}", I said in a midst of confusion.
"Alright, and name oof element?", he asked again.
"Dr, I think he needs a break, I will guide him to the relic selection room.", Gomez said and dragged me out of the room.
"Thank you.", I said.
"No worries, he can be overbearing.", he said.
"Do you need a rest?", he asked.
"No, let's finish the process and after that I will take a rest.", I said.
"Ok, follow me then.", Gomez said and started to walk.
As I was following him, I had a lot of thoughts now. Firstly, this was an unknown array, so how did Noel know the elements of it. Secondly, I somehow felt stronger but I also feel like I am losing myself. It is weird, but I couldn't understand why.
"For now, let's focus on choosing a relic.", I murmured.
"Alright, we are here.", Gomez said and we enter a showroom type room.
"Mr. Sanchez!", Gomez scream.
"Mr. Sanchez! Mr. Sanchez.", he called him.
"I am in the back working, I have kept the relic on the table, choose one.", he said.
"Alright, let just choose. But you will only know the effect after you have bonded with the relic.", he said
"Alright.", I said as I immediately saw what are the relics.
The first one was a Victorian ring I touched it and didn't feel anything or understood.
"This is going to be hard.", I thought.
As the second one was an old cigar pipe and same I touched it and felt nothing and the third one was only one glove and same didn't feel anything.
"Noel which one should I choose.", I asked.
"Choose anyone, none of them looks any better than the other.", he replied.
"Fuck", even he said to choose one.
"Fu, I will choose the glove", I said.
"Alright, now wear it and put your reserve in it.", Gomez said.
"Alright.", I said as I put my [Dark Reserve] in the glove and wore it.
I felt a faint energy connect to my reserve and the information went directly into my brain.
"So, what does it do?", Gomez asked curiously.
"Well, it allows me to tame a demon and use him in battle", I said.
"Nice. It is useful", Gomez said.
"Let's go for today you can take a break and your training will begin from tomorrow.", he said.
"Congratulations! Zephyr, you have joined the summit of the hunt.", Gomez congratulated.
"What will Ron do now?", I asked.
"He will now go back and keep an eye on senate, if they are doing anything weird or not", he said.
"Let's go. I will show you, your dorm", he said.

As I was now in the room, I looked at my window, a purplish screen appears.

"So, I have new skills now, the array definitely updated my skills.", I said.
I need to rank up my skills now and need to understand how to use these skills.
"Noel, how to rank up my skills or what is element 9?", I asked.
"Well, let's go with the first issue, to go to element 9 you first need to understand what is meant to be a combatant? This is easy as you can easily just master skill which a combatant does and rank up but there is an issue we don't have the recipe to make the potion.", Noel said.
"How the hell can I find the recipe? It is an {Unknown}, right?", I asked.
"My theory is the summit thinks of you as a subject, they need to use.", he said.
"A test subject?", I asked.
"The Dragon elder is the only one who you can trust, as he showed you his mythical form. Don't trust anybody else. My theory is they have another recipe for the element 9. You take that and then we will have to find the next recipes through going to the ruins or maybe in another realm.", he said.
"Ok. And the skills.", I asked.
"You will need to understand the nature of the skills how it works and then incorporate it and use the skills I will definitely rank up.", he said.
"Alright. Let's go and rank up.", I said.
