"Necessary condition"? Iode asked.
Necessary condition or special conditions is quite unheard of for breakthroughs. To breakthrough from one level to another or to move up from one star to another only requires increase of one's mana vessel, continuous training of skills and studying.
Iode, still confused with what tony said repeated his words.
"Yes, the reason you probably haven't breakthrough yet is because you haven't fulfilled the necessary conditions". Tony said.
"Uhm, the sun is setting, you need to submit your quest materials". Tony noticed.
"Iode before you leave, think of what i said, deeply think of any possible thing or way that might be the condition to breakthrough". Tony admonished.
Iode still very much bothered, unhappy and couldn't think of what might be the condition for breakthrough, stood still, puzzled.
Tony could very much see all these written on his face, had an idea.
"Young one take this as a gift from me to you". Tony reached out to Iode's chest and a mark of a dragon in the shape of Tony's head, purple in colour began to appear.
"Huh, this, it's not what i think it is right"? Iode eyes widens as he starts to shutter.
"Yes, it is a seal in my image, I'm now connected to you, whenever you need my assistance just imagine me and I'll appear right in front of you". Tony said.
"Wha , what have i done to deserve this undeserved gesture of recognition from a dragon". Iode said.
Iode couldn't be grateful enough, dragons, together with some other creatures are legendary, seeing them alone is a blessing from above, to now say the dragon is willing to talk to you is a double blessing.
But having a seal of a dragon is a miracle and a legend itself.
"I, I can't believe this, why are you doing this much for me there's nothing i can give in return, i can't honestly be grateful enough to you". Iode fell on his knees before tony.
Tony smiled, he has seen this before during Igor's generation.
"It alright young one, it's almost time, think of what i told you, farewell, I hope to see you in the future".
Iode stood up and reached the entrance of the den, he turned back and said.
"I won't forget you tony".
He jumped off the the den from the mountain.
"Orchi aeris". Iode said as wind swirl around him making him land softly on his feet.
He ran as fast as he can using wind magic.
"If i wasn't a one star mage, my pace would have been faster than this, I'm just running a bit faster than a normal person would, or should I summon tony"?
"No, i can do this on my own".
