Decent chance. This was a vague description compared to the other talents scores up till now, but that was the extent of the information available to Esdras.

As for grade 7 talent? He knew even less, it was just speculation that Master mages were talents of this level.

When someone once asked the sub tower master, a Great mage in her own right what she thought about this issue she answered that 'becoming a Master mage depended on a chance'.

She refused to elaborate further.

What about grades 8 and 9? They were just theoretical in nature mostly based on some legends regarding the end of the age of myth.

There were many heroes who deeds were passed down, their feats were exaggerated and outlandish so some room was left to accommodate something outside of reality.

Most mages don't even believe 80% of the stories from that time.

So only those who score a grade 6 talent had the right to become dual elemental mages. And even then doing so would most likely deprive them of advancing to Great mage level.

It was a choice that no rational human would make, the Great mage level was not known just for the raw power it signified but also longitivtiy.

A Great mage would have his life span extended by 50 to 70 years! It was the dream of most mages in history.

Esdras didn't know what how his Mystical talent would measure by this world's standers but as far as he knew not even a grade 6 talent mentioned anything about mana taking the initiative to approach on its own.

So he was very confident in himself, even more so, as he could always increase his talent with Origin points or use EXP to just forcefully breakthrough.

Moreover he still planned to find the second divine shard that is hidden somewhere on this world. To do that he obviously needed to be powerful enough.

So, with that said he was going to engrave all elemental sigils.

​ Following his will, the sphere of spiritual energy above his spirit body went to work. Within the purified sea of consciousness a shape began to form.

He decided to start with the Planes walker symbol and after forming the core of the symbol he shifted his attention to the Fire elemental sigil, his intelligence stat allowed him greater control and focus over his spiritual energy.

This meant that he could do both at the same time and since he already formed the core of the Planeswalker symbol it wouldn't disappear.

The night passed while Esdras was engrossed in the process, at last when he decided to stop he was already done with a tenth of the sigil.

However.

Just as he was about to end his medication and return, something unexpected happened.

The symbol of the Planeswalker in the center of the sea of consciousness released a tendril of blue light that connected with the sigil and a shadowy outline appeared around it.

This shape…

He recognized it as the Fire elemental sigil, but it was not the same as the one taught by the magic tower. Most of it was modified, the shape was much more complicated and deeper.

Esdras chuckled, so this is what it was, it was showing him something better, something greater than what the mages of this level would ever know.

But that sigil which would have taken a week to complete would now take ten days…

Fine so be it. That was still much better than most geniuses in history so he didn't have a complaint. There was still three months before the exam.

It was better not to rush, this was an extremely important foundation for future progress. If he messed up here and ruined his potential who would he complain to?

Esdras opened the door of his cell after getting a moderate gulp of water and some jerky.

He hoped to clear the first floor today. He was in a hurry because the water was running out.

But there was also another reason. He got the Pioneer title by discovering the dungeon which was an overpowered title.

So, what would he get if he were the first person in all of Arandos to not only find the first dungeon but also the first to clear it?

Just thinking about it made his heart jump out of anticipation, a part of him was also anxious because someone else might beat him to it.

It might not be this particular dungeon but since this was the first there was no doubt a second and a third scattered all over the world.

He must not let this chance slip from his grasp!

But first he had to get out of here then come back with ample supplies and through preparation. And he had to keep this dungeon a secret from the others no matter what.

Esdras descended the stone staircase and found the corpses of six Troglodytes scattered about and dried blood on the floor.

Hmm, he half expected them to respawn. But maybe this dungeon wasn't exactly game-like it had some realistic touches here and there. Like the awful smell.

Esdras looked at the two hallways and knew the right way to the boss of this floor was to the right, the left was probably a trap that will lead him to the Troglodytes nest.

This was due to his Pioneer title.

But he still walked to the left, beyond the hallway there was a big room stacked with wood and crude iron to make huts. The Troglodytes were surprised to see him.

In the midst of their surprise he rushed in, with a speed that the Troglodytes couldn't react to and beheaded the closest one to him with ease.

He barely felt any resistance in the sword, with this newly acquired power and speed it was no wonder the monster was unable to react.

*Clang!*

Behind him the door was closed by a bunch of iron cages that were stacked together beside the door. It looks like it was supposed to be a trap? Or maybe to close the only exit?

Heheheh, it seems like these monsters haven't realized it yet, they were trapped here with him.

Not the other way around.
