''Crimson Bullet!"
Thwack!
Alex received another spanking because he got the answer wrong again; Alex did not know what to say anymore, he had proposed many answers, but none of them seemed to have been the right one if two or three spankings does him knowing, repeatedly receiving one hurts so much that he thought of running away but how could he do that? The opponent was none other than the Death goddess, able to control time as if nothing.
Suddenly, as Alex was lost in thoughts, he heard Nyx's voice; she seemed to have given up but still instructed Alex to do something first.
''Summon your status and focus on it. Focus on which ability you have not explored its full potential.''
Alex immediately followed Nyx's instruction and immediately summoned his status and focused his eyes on it.

Alex checked again and again all his skills and abilities, he went over the one he already proposed and they got rejected, he went through everything but didn't find the answer, however just as he was about say that he didn't know the answer his eyes landed on one of ability, one he loved to use but was unable to bring out its full potential, even this he knows himself, so naturally when his eyes landed on this ability he immediately understood that this was the ability Nyx must be talking about, it was the ability she wanted since a long ago but Alex failed to answer correctly, ironically, this ability was given to him by her, he only scrapped the surface but was unable to go to the depth and bring out the full potential of such ability, in every , Time related ability is always the strongest ability as with time you can do a lot of thing, such as go back in time, accelerate time, kill your enemy because he had used up his given time, there is lots of applications but Alex was stuck at the first level no wonder Nyx would be angry and came out specially to open his eyes on what he was missing.
''It's Tempus Infinitum !"
Finally, Alex gave the correct answer; Nyx showed no change on her face but those that knew her would have said that she was happy that Alex had finally gotten the answer.
''I see; it's good that you finally got the answer. I gave you my right eye because I saw something in you the previous master did not possess. I thought that if it is you, you will be able to bring out the full potential of my ability and even go beyond where I couldn't, but as time progressed, I saw no change; you only used the basic level of my ability filled with limitless possibilities, I'm mad; usually, I don't get angry but seeing you waste the gift I gave you make me angry. I decided to come out and open your eyes, we don't have much time, and I'm tired of speaking.''
For the first time since knowing her, Alex was shocked that Nyx could talk for so long; he felt ashamed of him, because he got many abilities, he unconsciously put aside the thought of exploring them, creating new skills from them, he acted as if everything was already acquired, not thinking about how to create new techniques from what he got, he became arrogant, full of himself thinking that he was strong, at this rate he would face a big wall which he could not overcome. It was vital for him to change, to make the abilities he received his own, and to do this, he needed to create an ability derived from these abilities, something specially tailored for his needs.
''I understand, the reason you left me for something is to let me get accustomed to this world for what is about to come? I am wrong?" Alex, as usual, caught up on what he was missing; he accurately guessed why he was left alone until now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm''Indeed, now that you correctly answered my question and became aware of what you are lacking, I will send into a temporal world where you will train; over there time doesn't matter. You will train until I have judged your skills level to be enough and only then you will come out, however, if you don't produce any result you will be stuck there forever and believe me you better produce some results because compared to what you he has experienced here it's a child play, you will become crazy.''
Gulp!
Alex gulped upon hearing Nyx's words; his back became immediately drenched in sweat; he even thought of quitting but, in the end, decided not to; chance like these doesn't come often, so better grab them firmly and never let go no matter how hard it was.
Finally, having made up his mind, Alex declared.
''I'm in; please send me in. I'll show you.''
Nyx said nothing and looked at Alex, at his heterochromia eyes full of determination, then she said.
''Good.'' It was only what she said; no other word of encouragement was said; Nyx sent Alex into the special training world.
She left immediately after and reappeared outside where Silveria was waiting; Nyx did not take her second step before falling and started vomiting blood.
''Sister!!!" Silveria shouted before disappearing, and when she reappeared again, she held her sister's body inside her arms. The latter kept vomiting blood, black chains appeared and wrapped around her body, slowly Nyx began to disappear.
''Why did you do that in your current state? Tell me why?" Silveria clutched the disappearing body of her sister and roared in frustration; however, Nyx didn't answer. She lifted the only arm that hadn't disappeared and caressed her little sister's cheek before completely vanishing.
Silveria was overwhelmed with emotions; she almost cried but held it back; she stood up and looked in the direction of Alex; he was currently undergoing hellish training, her silver eyes shone in dangerous light as Silveria declared.
''Master, you better not come out empty-handed.''
Inside the special training world Alex who had no idea of what price Nyx paid to let him train, continued to train diligently; he must not disappoint her; more importantly, he must disappoint himself.. The Hell Training began.
