Without wasting any more time, Kahn put his hands on Solomon's corpse and started the mage's abilities and skills.
Just like Dormammu Volstov, Solomon also took more than forty-five minutes till Kahn was finally done with ability absorption.
"System.." said Kahn.

NOTE : THE HOST MUST EAT THE CORE OF THE SPECIMEN QUICKLY!!] declared system.
This was the 3rd time Kahn heard the system haphazardly telling him to eat someone's core. The first two times were when he ate the Somir's core and the 2nd was when he ate the core of the Uthraqiris, the 13th-floor boss who gave Kahn the Metamorphosis Bloodline.
Kahn cleaned Solomon's core with a cleansing spell after he pulled it out of the Elven mage's now squashed heart and gulped it down.
Unlike before, not only did he need 12 minutes just to absorb the core, but he also took 3 minutes to completely subdue the remnant will of the semi-saint rank elf.
There was something very different about Solomon's core because even the demonkin clan head's remnant will who was also a semi-saint rank fighter did not take this much time & struggle to get subdued and assimilated into his own aura.
During his meditative state, Kahn heard the level up sound many times and felt a new form of worldly energy he hadn't been able to feel till this point. This wasn't the World Energy that could be used to raise his strength like mana cores & ores but a completely different element of reality itself. He felt as if he could touch and feel this force but at the same time.. he couldn't.
[What the hell is this? Is this some sort of law of reality?] he wondered.
Just then, the system's voice rang in his head.
[Congratulations to the host for reaching Level 100.
Congratulations to the host for meeting the prerequisite conditions!] before the system could even continue..
BOOM!!
Kahn's body let out a loud and heavy burst of Golden aura and shook the entire wooden cabin.
Even someone like Blackwall & Omega nearly fell on the floor and Ronin who was standing closest to Kahn was thrown in the opposite end of the room.
The once golden aura that came from him started growing darker with time as a tangible orange colored aura covered his entire body.
Kahn who was under the weakened state suddenly felt all of his strength returning back in this very moment as if he was no longer under the weakened state and aftereffects of Asura Mode & Berserk God Mode. His body feeling even firmer, stronger and nimble.
The system then continued its previously interrupted message.
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to Semi-Saint Rank!] declared the system.
"I what?!" exclaimed Kahn with a gobsmacked expression on his face.
Not only he reached Level 100 after eating Arkham & Solomon's cores.. He already reached the Semi-Saint Rank!
If he was right.. Now Kahn was actually the strongest person in the entire Flavot city. Even Commander Straze who was also a semi-saint rank fighter wasn't as strong as Kahn because he was only Level 88 while Kahn was now Level 100.
[The War Deity Body has risen to Stage 4.
Survival Instinct has risen to Stage 3.
War Dominance has risen to stage 4.] replied system with notifications after notifications.
"This is too much!" shouted Kahn. No longer having any patience or calm & collected behavior like his past self. Just in the last 2 hours, he had gone through one big surprise after another.
"System, tell me the conditions to break through the Semi-Saint to Saint rank." he asked because he could no longer keep his excitement in.
[The host must reach Level 200 and eat the core of a being at the Saint Rank Stage 1. Only then will the host be able to reach the next stage.] clarified the system.
"Is this a joke? If I want to reach 1st stage Saint Rank, I'll need to fight and kill someone at that stage? And they'll be Level 200 as well, right?" asked Kahn in a puzzled tone.
[Yes.] replied the system in its robotic and lifeless voice.
"You gotta be shitting me! If those are the 1st stage saint rank fighters.. Then are you telling me that Arkham & Solomon were nothing but of small fries?" asked Kahn in bewilderment.
And if these two were small fries, then the Magma Drake who almost killed him was also a small fry, albeit stronger than the rest. If it was also Level 100, even Rudra wouldn't have been able to kill it.
[Yes.] replied the system again.
"So I have been playing with little children all this time?.." contemplated Kahn.
If even someone like Solomon was nothing but a toddler compared to a full-fledged Saint Rank fighter.. Then how strong were these Saint Rank people in reality?
[If I'm to use myself as an example and given my strength and attacking capacity.. A Stage 1 Saint Rank person would be able to destroy this entire valley with just a single strike of their sword.] thought Kahn. Because he too can be compared to a powerhouse now. But to hear that just a Stage 1 Saint Rank fighter was 2 times stronger than him.. And that too based on his superficial assumption alone. This completely changed his perception of power scaling in this world.
But before he could overthink this new information again. A sudden notification rang in his head that completely shook Kahn to his core.
This news was even more mind-boggling and came out unexpectedly.
[Congratulations to the host for meeting the prerequisite conditions.
DIMENSIONAL LAW DIVINE ABILITY UNLOCKED!]
