After settling matters with Felix, the clone called for a meeting with the heads of all the major ministries.

In the meeting were Asiva, Sebastian, Severus, Anna, Jathi, DarkSorrow and Roven.

There the clone checked in on the progress of the ministers and gave them 12 month long targets to achieve in the future, before naming Asiva the heir apparent and announcing that he would be missing from action for the next few months.

Naturally the ministers, especially Severus and Anna had a lot of questions regarding his sudden decision to depart, but the clone only gave ambiguous answers to them regarding his training while asking them for reassurement that they would keep this news under wraps and take care of the Clan in his absence.

In the end everyone was onboard with covering for his absence in the coming time-period, however looking at how the conversation had developed, Asiva doubted that matters would start to boil if Max did not return within 4-6 months of time.

Entrusting the all important Ravan’s mask to Asiva, the clone faded away after 24 hours of his summoning period as with his departure, the Lord of the clan was now truly gone from dombivli for unknown periods of time.

( Meanwhile Max )

Max was currently travelling through space in a small bubble of air alongside Angakok with such high speeds that even stars and planets beside him passed by in a blink of an eye.

He had never seen a spell quite like the one he was currently in with Angakok as he was sure that the speed at which they were travelling was at least 5 or 10 times more than a destroyer class battleships top speed.

Internally Max wanted to badly ask Angakok as to where they were going and what was on the agenda, but the old shaman god did not seem like the affable kind that was easy to talk to.

Max was sure that this compressed human-like form of Angakok was not the shaman god’s true visage and the cosmic entity that was almost as big as entire Dombivli city with burning purple eyes was his true form.

Either the god had compressed his form to become human-like or this was just an astral projection of his true body, but either way it was not a force he could joke around with.

” Is there something on my face boy? ” Angakok asked in an emotionless voice, but while there was no anger behind his question, Max still felt intimidated.

” No sir ” Max replied as he immediately looked the other way.

” If there is something you want to ask me boy, go ahead ” Angakok suggested in a calm voice as Max wondered if he should muster up the courage to ask or if this was a sarcastic question from Angakok.

In the end he realised that this was probably the best opportunity he would have to ask Angakok about their future activities, so he decided to give it a shot as he said ” If you don’t mind me asking, where are we headed to? “

” We are headed to the ‘ pits of fire’ , a fiery planet with average temperatures reaching over 80°C and 15% of the surface covered in flowing how lava.

An inhospitable planet for all life forms except the most resilient fire beasts.

There the weakest creatures are tier4 while the strongest are at the peak of tier5 and yet to learn dimensional travel.

It’s the perfect planet for you to quickly increase your level and improve your battle skills.

Based on your previous performance, I had half expected you to be at the peak of tier 4 by the time I came to get you, with us being able to head directly towards the time chamber to help you with stat maximization, but it seems like I overestimated your progress speed.

While only 100 levels seperate tier 1 from 2 and 2 from 3

From tier 4 onwards each promotion tier is 200 levels apart from each other.

You are currently at level 434, about 66 levels away from reaching your level limit for this tier which means that it should take you roughly 2 months of levelling to make-up the required deficit.

On the damned pit of fire you will struggle for life and death against creatures with same elemental affinity as your Agni Astra.

I expect you to gain atleast 1 level everyday and get to the limit of your tier within 60 days maximum, but I’m a fair teacher so I’ll give you some incentive to work harder.

If you manage to finish the whole ordeal before 40 days, I’ll help you on your path of the perfect warrior and cut down your training time to achieve stat maximization by 50% by providing you a priceless elixir.

Since the planet you are going on is part of the Beast King Omar’s territory and a neutral Battle-Zone, there is a possibility of you dying permanently on the planet which means I’ll have to be your watch-dog for the days you train there, which is why I’ll deduct 5 days of your overall score everytime I have to move to save your life” Angakok said as he did not reveal as to why he wanted Max to reach the peak of tier4 and why did he want to help him with stat maximization.

Although Angakok’s explanation opened as many questions in Max’s mind as it answered, for now he settled with the knowledge of knowing that he was going to step-in on an inhospitable fiery planet for levelling.

Level 100-200 is tier 2
