'So this is the difference in and what I could be,' Alex thought, as a smile spread on his face.
Alex didn't care for his first death, the insult thrown at him by the clone, or his inability to even keep his life for a second because they all didn't matter.
Alex was happy with how things went because he was confident in his ability to keep his life for a few seconds, even against the majority of early Sixth Rank individuals, and he died to his clone in an instant, which only showed how much room he had for improvent.
"Lady Luculia, How did I die," Alex asked after monts of silence.
"Your clone used chaos manipulation to take control of your mana and, in an instant, made it contract and then burst, destroying your body from the inside out, killing you in 1.6 seconds," Lady Luculia said, and Instantly, a 3D scene of the past few seconds materialized before him.
In the projection, his body appeared transparent, with all his mana veins visible, and Alex watched in slow motion as the flow of mana in his veins ca to a complete halt before contracting into multiple lumps, swelling his veins like balloons.
In an instant, those mana lumps exploded with the intensity of grenades, and his body burst open, sending chunks flying in every direction, painting the green grass red and in a gory ss.
'I need to learn this trick,' Alex thought as he imagined popping his opponent's heart or brain and killing them in an instant.
"Can you make him not use the sa or similar trick twice," Alex asked, and she nodded in confirmation.
"So, let's continue," Alex said, and without delay, his clone appeared in the distance and monts later before him, giving him a nasty remark before ending his life.
This ti, Alex's life ended in a much more painful way as the clone used the minor soul energy to manifest a sword to slash through his body, making him clench his teeth in agony and die on the second slash.
Alex watched in slow motion what happened with an explanation before he moved to the third session, and this ti, his body twisted out of form, with bones snapped, muscles ripped apart, and his organ crushed, all thanks to the chaos manipulation.
In the next hour, Alex died twenty-one tis, with only three of them to skills, with the remaining twelve tis to chaos, and six tis to darkness manipulation in various quick or grueso ways.
Alex learned the value of the chaos elent with every death, as it represented unpredictability and disorder and allowed for endless combinations and creative applications.
It can disrupt, distort, and twist the natural order of things, creating randomness and chaos in the fabric of reality. The chaos was like the unruly force that defied the rules and brought about unexpected and chaotic aspects of reality.
Alex understood that chaos was not only a complex elent to learn but also challenging to wield because it was a truly destructive elent, yet that also made it a perfect elent against tricky opponents like the demon sin champions.
The elent of darkness was better than the chaos as it was much more versatile, being offensive, defensive, supportive, and even having great Utility.
However, mastering the darkness elent to reach a level of destructiveness akin to that of chaos required significantly more ti and effort than acquiring proficiency in the chaos elent,
So, he placed the chaos manipulation on his schedule to train as much as he could in the following weeks while also improving as much as he could to not only reach the fourth Rank but also bridge the gap in his skill set with his perfect self.
Alex spent the next four hours repeating the sa cycle of dying at the hands of his clone till the number of his deaths reached well over a hundred, but the deaths and the ti were well worth the data he collected.
Alex spent the next two hours in ditation in the rich mana environnt to recover back to his peak, as even though he hardly experienced much pain, so many deaths had taken a ntal toll on him.
"Lady Luculia, What is the current concentration of mana in the environnt," Alex asked as he stood up and felt like he was breathing the cleanest and most mana-rich air of his life.
"It's four tis the normal level, and over ti, I will increase it to match the capacity your body can comfortably handle." Lady Luculia replied.
"Domain Ruler, do you want to keep fighting against yourself, or do you have any other plan in mind," Lady Luculia asked.
'I do not have the ti left to experience a historical event, at least not a good one, so this leaves with fighting against a true opponent, but I know my current capabilities pretty well so that also isn't a good option,'
'So It leaves to either battle against a better version of myself to learn or experience soone's mories,' Alex thought as he considered his options.
Alex's main purpose for this phase of training was to reach the fourth Rank, for which he just needed to awaken his elental flas, which would be awakened on its own when he had enough familiarity and understanding of his elents.
However, that milestone was extrely hard to achieve because it differs from individual to individual, and the stronger soone was and the more elents he had, the harder it would be.
Alex knew that those with unique gifts that set them apart were required to reach a much higher level of familiarity with their elents than a normal individual before the worldly law recognized them and awakened their elental flas.
In Alex's previous life, he was not talented enough to raise his familiarity with the elent of lava to a level needed for the Rank promotion and beca a dud who stayed stuck at the peak of the third rank.
In this life, he was too dam talented, not with just elents, but he had an elental physique with a Rank that wasn't even on so quality rank list, and he had all his stats reaching the absolute peak without any armor buffs.
Because of his physique, he had a second unknown bloodline and a second heart, not sothing he had ever seen in soone except the royal dragons who were born with a mana heart, and he had the best of the best environnt available to boost his ability to raise his familiarity with his elents.
It was common knowledge among the inhabitants that the world law set the difficulty of the fourth Rank promotion, while the players thought Zero was responsible for it like everything else.
Alex believed the forr to be true, so he also realized his Rank promotion difficulty would be off the charts.
"Lady Luculia, Can I experience the mories of what level of elental familiarity any of the domain Ruler needed to reach for their fourth Rank promotion," Alex asked after monts of silence.
"Yes, you can, and I would suggest you should experience the mories of Sir Erebus." Lady Luculia replied with a smile.
