Omar cheered Rudra on ” Just a little more , you are 90% there “
Rudra was 90% there in reaching the density of aura of nothingness needed to imbue into the hot gold fire however he could not bridge the last 10% gap.
He stressed every muscle in his body to reach 90% but to go further would mean inviting permanent damage which he was not ready for at this stage of the war.
Combining the two hands together Rudra aimed it at a wall and when the unstable aura of nothingness mixed with the high fire it created a beam of powerful peak tier 5 attack that blasted through the temple wall and burnt a hole into its formations.
Omar looked at the hole in the wall and sighed , almost a millenium of his seclusion in this cave and it was still intact however only one day with the human and it was ruined.
” Great , thanks for destroying my home ” Omar said with sarcasm however Rudra was in no position to reply .
Sprawled on the floor gasping for air as the veins on his body popped out and pulsated violently showed Omar that he was at his limits.
To be fair to Rudra this was a unique move that Omar had never seen before , although not as powerful as the Nirvana flame it was undoubtedly the best tier 5 technique he had ever seen in his lifetime which was saying a lot because he had lived for a very long time.
Rudra had gained a lot of benefits from this excercise beyond the move that he had created as not only did he learn how to control the fire element but he also had a design of atleast 5 new tier 4 attacks that he could produce from his knowledge arsenal.
Thanx to his new and expanded knowledge into the element of fire whose proficiency was now at a staggering 82% he realised that he could conjure fire in multiple ways and use it like a mage or even better.
For him to create simple fireblasts or even seas of low grade fire was now as easy as flicking his fingers and although it consumed a lot of mana it was no problem considering that he had got a new artifact from Omar that boosted his mana stat by +50,000 .
The system had asked him to name the new technique and he decided to name it [ Elite Blast]
Although it was a bit shabby naming he was proud of it , if maybe many decades later some tier 5 powerhouse came across this skill in a scroll and learnt it , it would mean Rudra would have succeeded in preserving the name of his elites for generations.
Rudra called on his system pannel.

He had gained 14 levels since entering hell due to the constant fighting he had been subjected to however his overall gains had been much more profound after finding the beast king and convincing him to join the cause as well as a change in his equipment and a new move added to his skillset.
The trip to the beast temple was much more fruitful for him than he had ever imagined and if only more than 15 people advanced to tier 4 after the fire trial it would be considered a spectacular success.
Rudra would return with enhanced personal strength, a new tier 6 backer and a whole new batch of elite generals which would lead the army into the heated battles to come . It almost felt like a dream come true as only now did Rudra feel confident in truly being able to cross the river and take on the challenges on the other side of river Thames.
Now the only thing he needed to wait for was to see just how many new tier 4 generals were added to his army as with a perfect estimation of their power he could start strategizing about attacking once more.
It took everyone 2 days to complete the trial or to be expelled by it and at the end a shocking new 54 tier 4 generals emerged , 43 of them being elites.
It was an overwhelming number and Rudra was extremely excited to see this result. Even if 54 out of nearly 350,000 seemed a bit less it was actually incredible.
With this Rudra regained the confidence he had lost by the underperforming demon legion as finally he felt that the strength of the elites was once again enough to cover the skies alone!
