Synopsis

The chapter focuses on the protagonist's encounter with a replica of himself, created by a god, that possesses superior combat skills and utilizes techniques the protagonist himself struggles to understand. The clone replicates an item, a tailcoat, and shows an uncanny mastery of dual-sword techniques derived from the protagonist's own style, further enhanced by "indomitable will" which the protagonist previously absorbed. The protagonist analyses the situation and concludes that the replica's concentration and physical abilities might outstrip his own, leading to a challenging fight.
