Chapter 108: More Training

Daniel returned to the training room after selling all the Lizardman corpses he had collected. He managed to sell the entire batch for around 400,000 zen.

Now, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, reviewing the technique Transcendent Harmony.

The main purpose of this technique—gaining the skills of mages, warriors, and mancers—was completely useless to him. For reasons he still didn’t fully understand, he already had all those traits.

His true goal with this technique was to create a unified source that could act as a core for all seven Supreme Laws.

One of the biggest problems in comprehending the Supreme Laws was exactly that—these laws held immense power, and no one could use them all at once.

What a joke. Even understanding a single Supreme Law was not something just anyone could do. Most awakened simply settled for comprehending one of the sub-laws of the seven and didn’t push further.

The few geniuses who aimed for the Supreme Laws usually only pursued one and gave up on the rest. In rare cases, if someone was a once-in-a-century genius, they might be able to comprehend two or three.

Why was it like that? It was simple: aside from understanding the laws, you also needed a source to use them. And sources could only be obtained in two ways:

Either your class naturally gave you an inherent source, or you found an item that could act as one.

The bodies of awakened couldn’t handle more than one Supreme Source and would collapse instantly. Some rare geniuses could handle two or even three, but that was the limit.

Why? Because Supreme Sources were different. Normal law sources or elemental sources came from things like magic items.

Like Daniel’s Rag’Zar Ring, which acted as a source for the fire element. It didn’t put any pressure on his body, and he could theoretically have a hundred of them.

But based on what he knew, Supreme Sources were different. He didn’t know exactly why—he’d only heard a few things here and there.

That’s why he was currently analyzing the Transcendent Harmony technique, hoping to find a solution that would eventually allow him to comprehend all seven Supreme Laws.

His main focus was the Laws of Death, Life, and Eternity. He wanted to use those three to find a way to become truly immortal.

"Ugh, this technique has way too many flaws when it comes to that," Daniel muttered. "But I don’t have enough knowledge to fix it."

To make the technique function the way he needed, it would need to be modified—but he lacked the knowledge for that.

"I need to find a way to get the knowledge I need," he said, scratching his chin.

Several ideas crossed his mind. One was giving the technique to someone else who could fix it—but he was too possessive to share it.

His next idea was to find a place or a way to make up for his lack of knowledge. The best place he could think of was the Heavenly Library.

"But would they even let me in?" Daniel thought about it and quickly shook his head. No way—they wouldn’t let him in unless he was a divine mage.

"I’ll figure it out later," Daniel set the Transcendent Harmony technique aside for now. He’d find a way to fix it once he returned to the Celestial Domain.

He stood up and summoned all his Fallen. They all knelt respectfully.

"Pride, in the Colosseum dungeon, you used mana to form a spear to try to kill me. Can you teach me how you did that?" His eyes locked on Pride.

"Forgive me, Lord, for my blasphemy in trying to kill you! I deserve death!" Pride slammed his forehead to the floor.

Daniel sighed and motioned that it wasn’t necessary—he wasn’t angry about it. But Pride refused to calm down and insisted that Daniel punish him.

"If you don’t do what I ask, I’ll strip you of your status as a Fallen."

"I was wrong, my Lord! I’ll explain everything now!" Pride stood up and began to explain.

"I think I get it," Daniel nodded after Pride finished.

To create mana weapons, you first had to understand the essence of mana—not just sense it.

Mana in its natural form was like vapor—scattered and shapeless. You had to gather it with your will, compress it, and hold it together like dough, without letting it scatter. It required deep focus and precise control. One lapse and everything would fall apart.

Once the mana was compressed, you had to shape it with a precise mental image. A sword, a spear, a hammer, even tiny floating blades...

Imagination wasn’t enough—you had to understand the weapon’s structure. You couldn’t form a mana sword if you didn’t know how a real sword worked. Its edges, its center of gravity, its thickness—everything had to be visualized and rebuilt with mana.

Most people failed here. Because even if they succeeded in forming a weapon, if they couldn’t keep the mana stable, it would disappear in seconds.

Stability meant continuously feeding and controlling the mana. Like holding a candle in a storm—too little mana, it fell apart; too much, it exploded.

Daniel didn’t waste time. He began practicing right away. Naturally, he failed on the first attempt, but he quickly realized it was far easier than flying or manipulating spiritual senses.

After a few more tries, he finally managed to create a sword from his spiritual essence.

"Too bad it can’t be used as a real weapon," Daniel examined the sword and sighed.

This type of weapon was only good for single attacks. It wasn’t practical for extended battles.

Still, it could be very useful for quick extermination and farming exp in the Celestial Domain.

Especially against creatures much weaker than him—it would save him a lot of time.

"I want all of you to fight me. All at once—well, except for you, Zargort," Daniel said, glancing at the Fallen.

It had been a while since he fought with his fists, and it was time to test and refine his unarmed combat skills again.

Daniel also planned to spar with Zargorth to better understand the power level of a B-rank and figure out if there was any way to close the gap or overcome the difference.

The Fallens, except for Zargorth, entered combat stances. None of them were worried about hurting their Lord. After all, Daniel was stronger than all of them.

"Let’s see how much stronger I’ve gotten after taking ten percent of Zargorth’s stats," he muttered. After all, experience was different from just looking at numbers.
