Dimensional Descent

Leonel took a step forward.

He realized that no matter what he did, his steps were measured. Exactly 0.50 meters apart without the slightest hint of deviation. He couldn't speed up, nor could he slow down. Even taking a sidestep was difficult. If he wanted variations in his steps and speed, the only way was to begin unlocking the physical root.

However, he wasn't worried. He had already seen one person pass this test so all the stats of the beast had long since been reflected in his mind.

[Metallic Beast]

[Power: 1 Stars (Black)]

[Strength: 1 Star (Black); Speed: 1 Star (Black); Agility: 2 Stars (Black); Coordination: 4 Stars (Black); Stamina: ?? Stars (Black); Reactions: 4 Stars (Black); Defense: 3 Star (Black); Spirit: ?? Stars (Black); Force: ?? Stars (Black)]

[Power Accuracy: 100%]

Leonel knew that this assessment was 100% accurate. This metallic beast was purposely nerfed by Merlin. As such, all of its abilities were perfectly measured without the variation one would expect in real life.

In addition, during this first trial, it seemed that the beast's long, whip-like tail couldn't be used to attack.

There were only three attack patterns: 'Lunge', 'Sweep', and 'Bite'.

'The beast can lunge at most 1.5 meters. A sweep of its claws extended its range by half a meter at most. Bite will only activate if I enter a two meter range of its and also has a range of half a meter. It can attack only once every two seconds and will be stunned for 0.20 seconds after suffering a hit, however, if I hit it in that spot…'

These kind of perfectly measured battles… They were simply too easy for Leonel.
