Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Training in the Inner World
Until then, Light had thought that his power was enough to deal with the problems that came his way. And he believed that it wasn't arrogance, but a simple fact.
In fact, with his current power, even a high-level devil wouldn't pose that many problems for him. However, if Kokabiel came to him through Raynare, Mittelt and Kalawarner, things would become more complicated.
After all, the opponent this time is on another level.
Although he has seen the original storyline and Kokabiel was easily defeated by Vali, the White Dragon, this is due to several factors that must be considered.
Before Vali appeared, Rias and the rest weren't even able to scratch Kokabiel and they, in themselves, are not weak. Although, from the point of view of those more experienced, they look like premature infants who were still learning to crawl.
Sighing a little, Light closed his eyes tightly.
He quickly clenched his hands into fists, contemplating the possibility of using something he had previously hesitated to invest in. One thousand points in exchange for five hundred days with time passing more slowly in the outside world than in his [Inner World].
It was equivalent to a year and a half, with the flow of time outside dragging compared to the [Inner World]. While a month passed in just one minute outside, a whole month unfolded inside the [Inner World]. Less than thirty minutes would pass in the real world while he dedicated himself to 500 days of intensive training.
'If I decide to go down this path, it's essential to bring Asia with me first,' Light reflected.
Asia's development was vital to the plans he had in mind. If he was about to embark on this journey now, he should capitalize on it as much as possible.
Besides, he would need supplies to sustain himself throughout this period...
With a sigh, he recognized that he would have to shell out at least another 50 Fate points to buy supplies through the system for the training period.
He still didn't have the financial resources for such an expense, so he would have to rely on Fate points once again...
Of course, all of this could be easily resolved if he chose to ascend to level 3 of existence. However, this option was not the most advantageous in the long term.
Light clarified part of his plan to the group.
"I see," said Raynare sympathetically.
Deep down, she was looking forward to a period dedicated to training. She had yet to master the nuances of her new powers.
As for Mittelt and Kalawarner, they didn't have much to add. They were aware of the dangers of venturing out now, especially being potential targets for Kokabiel.
"I'll get Asia," announced Light.
Without waiting for any objections, he set off.
Crossing the distance to Asia's residence in the blink of an eye, Light arrived in mere seconds.
Moving by light, without the need for wings, was indeed faster...
Light arrived at the destination and quickly summarized recent events to Asia.
"We're going to a special place where we can train without worrying about the weather outside," said Light with a serious but reassuring tone. "There, every minute in the real world stretches much longer."
Asia, understanding the gravity and timeliness of the situation, nodded, ready to follow Light wherever she needed to grow stronger.
With a nod from Light, they were enveloped in a soft glow, and in a moment, they were transported to his [Inner World].
[A Thousand Fate Points Were Deducted from the Host]
Seeing the confirmation, Light let out a soft sigh.
It was a necessary expense.
"First of all," Light called out, capturing the girls' attention. "I'm going to teach you a technique that can raise your level of existence to a new level."
"What does that mean?" asked Asia, "Level of existence, I mean."
She looked sincerely perplexed.
It wasn't just her; the three fallen angels shared her confusion.
Light presented a table he had drawn up himself, detailing each level of existence, from the weakest, level 1, with mediocre talent, to level 6, which would be the equivalent talent of most of the leaders of the three factions.
"So basically, when we fell, our level of existence decreased, and it became like a genetic flaw, when in fact it reduced our power and talent?" Kalawarner asked.
"Exactly," confirmed Light. "Although talent isn't everything, even if you're from a lower level of existence, you can achieve a very high level of power. But there's no denying that, like in a race, innate talent determines how fast you start. The lower levels of existence are like starting behind in a race. Even if someone with existence level 2 puts in a lot of effort, it will be difficult to catch up with someone who started at level 3 who puts in just as much effort."
With this explanation, the girls nodded in understanding. Light had simplified things a lot.
Now everything made more sense to them.
As soon as Raynare merged with the Sacred Dragon's Lacrima, she began the process of evolving her own existence, reaching at least the status of a level 4 entity, with her power growing at a frighteningly fast pace. There was a possibility that, by completely mastering the power that Light had granted her, she could reach the level of a level 5 entity, or perhaps even level 6...
Level 6... A level that, perhaps, only beings of Azazel's caliber could boast...
With that thought, Raynare vibrated with excitement.
Even Asia, who wasn't so focused on the increase in power, had a gleam of anticipation in her eyes. And as for Mittelt and Kalawarner, they were both determined to learn this technique and raise their own level of existence.
Over the next five days, Light dedicated himself to instructing the girls in the Basic Principles of Breathing Technique.
Once they had assimilated the technique, he began to concentrate on training the Haki on his own, while they practiced meditation.
A month later, Asia experienced a change in her essence. Already considered a prodigy as a level 1 entity, possessing the maximum power that level could offer, now, with her evolved existence, her talent and power had grown exponentially, promising accelerated progress in her Haki training.
In the second month, it was Raynare's turn to transform.
She began to develop traces of white dragon scales on her skin, and even her wings took on a more draconic shape.
It was also around this time that Light received the following notification:

Shortly afterwards, another message appeared while he was upgrading his Haki.
━━━━━━━━
[Weaponry Haki] Level 3 (1/500): You have raised the level of the [Weaponry Haki] technique. Physical Power increases by 100 points].
[Observation Haki] Level 3 (1/500): You have raised the level of the [Observation Haki] technique. Spiritual Power increases by 100 points].
━━━━━━━━
From that moment on, Light noticed that the increase in physical and spiritual power became more gradual, while the advance in magical power was still occurring at a faster pace. However, when he reached the 700-point mark in magical power, the pace of progress began to slow down.
'The time has come to raise my level of existence.
With a single thought, the Attribute Panel materialized before his eyes.

'Even if I wait for my technique and skill to evolve to accumulate more powers, it will take time from now on...'
He didn't have much choice if he wanted to get strong. It was necessary to level up his existence now.
