MMORPG : Ancient WORLD

Chapter 327 Century

'So this is the difference in me 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 improvement.

"Lady Luculia, How did I die," Alex asked after moments 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 came 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 mess.

'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 same 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 moments later before him, giving him a nasty remark before ending his life.

This time, 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 time, 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 times, with only three of them to skills, with the remaining twelve times to chaos, and six times to darkness manipulation in various quick or gruesome ways.

Alex learned the value of the chaos element 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 element to learn but also challenging to wield because it was a truly destructive element, yet that also made it a perfect element against tricky opponents like the demon sin champions.

The element 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 element to reach a level of destructiveness akin to that of chaos required significantly more time and effort than acquiring proficiency in the chaos element,

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 same 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 time were well worth the data he collected.

Alex spent the next two hours in meditation in the rich mana environment to recover back to his peak, as even though he hardly experienced much pain, so many deaths had taken a mental toll on him.

"Lady Luculia, What is the current concentration of mana in the environment," 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 times the normal level, and over time, 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 time left to experience a historical event, at least not a good one, so this leaves me 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 me to either battle against a better version of myself to learn or experience someone's memories,' 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 elemental flames, which would be awakened on its own when he had enough familiarity and understanding of his elements.

However, that milestone was extremely hard to achieve because it differs from individual to individual, and the stronger someone was and the more elements 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 elements than a normal individual before the worldly law recognized them and awakened their elemental flames.

In Alex's previous life, he was not talented enough to raise his familiarity with the element of lava to a level needed for the Rank promotion and became a dud who stayed stuck at the peak of the third rank.

In this life, he was too dam talented, not with just elements, but he had an elemental physique with a Rank that wasn't even on some 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 something he had ever seen in someone except the royal dragons who were born with a mana heart, and he had the best of the best environment available to boost his ability to raise his familiarity with his elements.

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 former to be true, so he also realized his Rank promotion difficulty would be off the charts.

"Lady Luculia, Can I experience the memories of what level of elemental familiarity any of the domain Ruler needed to reach for their fourth Rank promotion," Alex asked after moments of silence.

"Yes, you can, and I would suggest you should experience the memories of Sir Erebus." Lady Luculia replied with a smile.
