"Ranker's Calamity, huh? Things are way more complicated than I wished them to be."

As Eren perused the details of the Bodyforge Zenith Tantra, his eyebrows raised in caution, especially noting its impact on the S-Rank breakthrough and the ensuing Ranker's Calamity.

Recollections of Argo's perilous journey to the S-Rank as a demon beast flashed in his mind. Despite having the support of his main form, Beelzebub, the Demon Prince of Gluttony, Argo faced severe survival risks.

"Hm? How formidable would my Calamity become if I opt for this Tantra? And this restriction on pursuing more than three Elemental Attainments also doesn't sit right with me," Eren mused, sighing as he placed the scroll back on the table.

While Eren was okay with obtaining lower Resistance-type abilities from Bodyforge Zenith, he hesitated due to the limitation on Elemental Attainments. After all, the reason he wanted to choose such a Tantra in the first place was because he wanted to strengthen his physical form so that it could allow him to wield his divine powers better.

He didn't really need Resistance-type abilities from his Tantra in the first place. His proficiency in welding every element equally made countering elemental Skills straightforward. For example, he could use water-element Skills against a fire-element Practitioner. He could employ earth-element Skills for someone using wind-element abilities on him.

The requirement of potions as a practice fuel didn't deter him either, as his potion-making skills were top-notch, and obtaining resources as a Demon Slayer posed no significant challenge.

However, compromising his ability to wield a multitude of elements was a deal-breaker for Eren. Moreover, the revelation about the Tantra affecting the Ranker's Calamity was a new consideration– something he hadn't thought about at all.

"Let's not jump to conclusions just yet. I need to take a broader perspective."

Deciding to reassess his options, Eren set aside Bodyforge Zenith and turned his attention to the second Tantra he had shortlisted. This time, the introductory information was stored within a gem. Eren delved into the gem with his Mana Sense, accessing the details in the Spectral Window with focused attention.

[ Mundraflux Serenity

Harmony of Stillness, also known as Mudraflux Serenity, is an esoteric Body-Strengthening Tantra designed for practitioners seeking a path devoid of elemental influence.

Eren closed the Spectral Window and put the gem down. He tapped his fingers on the desk before fetching the hidden information related to the Tantra from Menaka's Compendium.

[ Key Points to Remember about Mundraflux Serenity:

Elemental Neutrality: Mundraflux Serenity distinguishes itself by focusing on Mudra and Aasana practices, devoid of any elemental aspect. It means that all the Elemental Attainments the user has gained over the years would practically become useless after practicing this Tantra to perfection.

Balance of Mudra and Aasana: The Tantra emphasizes achieving harmony between Mudra (hand gestures) and Aasana (body postures). Practitioners need to master the intricate coordination of both aspects to unlock the full potential of Mundraflux Serenity. One needs a secure place, serene environment, and utmost concentration to practice this Tantra every day.

No Elemental Distractions: Unlike Tantras focusing on elemental cultivation, Mundraflux Serenity eliminates the distraction of mastering multiple elements. This allows practitioners to delve deeply into spiritual refinement without the complexities associated with elemental diversity. As such, the users need to make sure that their environment at the time of the practice is not elementally charged.

Physical and Spiritual Benefits: The Tantra promises holistic benefits, impacting both the physical and spiritual aspects of the practitioner. Mudras and Aasanas contribute to bodily resilience while fostering spiritual growth, creating a well-

rounded path for personal development. As such, the users need to expend a sufficient amount of Spiritual Force every day to practice this Tantra.

Minimal External Dependencies: Practitioners of Mundraflux Serenity are less reliant on external resources. The Tantra minimizes the need for external aids such as potions Yantra, or elixirs, emphasizing the self-sufficiency of its practices.

Spiritual Alignment Challenges: While the Tantra promotes spiritual alignment, practitioners may encounter challenges in maintaining this alignment. Vigilance and regular practice are essential to overcome spiritual obstacles and achieve the desired serenity. The users might face Soul Space damage if and when their Tantra practice is deviated due to internal or external factors.

Versatility in Combat: Mundraflux Serenity's benefits extend to combat situations. The enhanced spiritual connection and bodily resilience attained through its practices contribute to a versatile skill set for practitioners engaged in battles. However, they will not be able to cast most elemental Skills with satisfactory output.

Incorporation into Ranking Journey: As practitioners progress in their Ranking Journey, Mundraflux Serenity offers a unique avenue for spiritual and physical refinement. As it is non-

elemental in nature, it can complement other Tantras or practices to a certain extent, contributing to a well-rounded approach to cultivation. ]

"Hm? Complement other Tantras?"

Eren's surprise echoed through his thoughts as he absorbed the exclusive details from the second Tantra manual. Just as he was poised to immerse himself in the decision-making process for his chosen Tantra, an unexpected Spectral Notification abruptly dominated his field of vision.

An automated response from Menaka's Blessing unveiled something he desperately needed at the time.

[ Menaka's Compendium can attempt to amalgamate Bodyforge Zenith Tantra, Mudraflux Serenity, and the user's current practice of the Rootless Ranking Technique. Other miscellaneous Body-strengthening Arts could be used in the amalgamation to serve as connecting bridges.

This fusion offers the user a personalized Tantra at a reasonable cost. The cost will depend upon the user's Individuality, needs, and the number of foundational Tantras used in the amalgamation.

Please note that the two foundational Tantras that the user is interested in are safeguarded against unauthenticated use in the Mesh. Thus, it's essential to possess the actual offline copies of the original Tantras for this amalgamation. ]
