Farah's POV
I slowly wake up from the deep slumber.
-Where am I? (Farah)
The last thing that I remember before I lost my consciousness was a ball of light that appeared.
-You have awakened, successor. (???)
In front of me, the ball of light is talking to me.
-Finally, you have paid attention to me, successor. (???)
-You are talking to me? (Farah)
-Who can I talk to aside from you? (???)
-... Were you the one that saved me? (Farah)
The ball of light answers back in a monotone voice.
-Right, I was the one saving you from the hand of the outer god and those "filths." (???)
-What do you mean by that? (Farah)
-I have taken you out of the body of those parasites. (???)
-Parasites? (Farah)
-They are the four existences that stay within you. Therefore, I have taken you out and left them behind. (???)
The moment I heard the statement of the thing in front of me, I became angry and asked it back.
-They are not parasites. They are my friends. (Farah)
-Successor, you shouldn't waste your energy on those mortal feelings. (???)
-I want to get back to my friend's place. (Farah)
I glare at the ball of light.
-I don't want to listen to the one that calls my friend "filth." (Farah)
The ball of light seems to ignore my opinion and continues talking.
-Are you upset because you lost your body, successor? (???)
-Eh? (Farah)
I look down at my body and find out that it is transparent.
-What? (Farah)
-Don't be so upset about that, successor. You will get a brand-new body once you finish the trial. (???)
-... Return me to my body! (Farah)
The ball of light ignores me.
-You have no right to command over me, successor. I'm a part of "her" will. (???)
The ball of light continues.
-It's a fair price to get absolute power. You always want more strength, don't you? (???)
-I want the power to protect everything I have, but not to exchange everything for power. (Farah)
-Your demand is unreasonable. (???)
-You! (Farah)
-Let's start the first trial. (???)
The ball of light disappears and leaves me alone in the white space.
-Stolas and everyone else, I hope they are alright. (Farah)
I grasp my hand and talk to myself.
-There is no Death and the others. This time, I'm truly alone. (Farah)
In the middle of the white space, a person suddenly appears from nowhere.
-Who are you? (Farah)
The person raises her face and looks at me.
-Eh, why do you have my face? (Farah)
The other "me" doesn't reply and starts shooting the magic at me.
-Huh? (Farah)
I tried to cast magic to defend, but nothing came out at all.

-Urgh! (Farah)
I can still feel the pain when her magic pierces through.
-That really hurts. (Farah)
I try to activate another skill, but nothing responds.
-Then how can I win against my clone at this rate. (Farah)
The clone of mine keeps attacking me for a while. I have no option but to dodge and tank the magic. The pain keeps accumulating, and it's painful enough for me to lose consciousness.
-Her attacks are really terrible. (Farah)
I finally reach my limit and fall to the ground.
-I can't stand it anymore. (Farah)
What will happen if I lose my consciousness now? I stare at my body, which has become more transparent.
-If I lose now, I think I will die for real. (Farah)
I shake my head and raise one again.
-I won't lose here and now. (Farah)
I stare at the clone of mine.
-I am going to defeat you. (Farah)
>Your soul has been refined.
A random stat +1.
The change will take place once you regain your body.
I run to the clone of mine with all my might. The clone of mine fires magic at me and pushes me away.
-It's painful to take the magic directly. (Farah)
I think the only way to win this trial is to defeat my clone.
-But I can't even reach her. (Farah)
I sharpen my sense and try to dodge the magic coming from the clone. I avoided the first two fire lances that came at me, but got hit by the third one.
-I think my dodging skill has improved. (Farah)
The moment I thought so, the attacks of the clone became fiercer. The clone starts casting intermediate and advanced magics more frequently.
>Your soul has been refined.
It hurts, but I can still keep going.
>Your soul has been refined.
I have become familiar with the pain.
>Your soul has been refined.
I am able to reduce the distance between me and the clone by half.
>Your soul has been refined.
I got blasted away by the clone's compound magic.
>Your soul has been refined.
The clone uses complicated magic I have never seen before. If I copy the clone technique, can I use it once I return to my body?
...
>Your soul has been refined.
This notification marks the 100th time that my soul successfully refined. I stare at the clone of me, who is currently casting magic composed of 5 different elements.
-It hurts. (Farah)
I got blown away when that magic hit me. And what comes along with it is the tremendous pain.
-So I can use magic like that. (Farah)
A complicated magic circle is formed under the clone's place. In the process of fighting with the clone, I keep observing and trying to learn the clone's technique.
>Your soul has been refined.
You can no longer gain stats this way.
You can now use magic in your soul's form.
I smile at the clone.
-It's time for my counterattack! (Farah)
