Dimensional Descent

"You're making another gun? Didn't you say you preferred your bow?"

Aina, who had seemingly decided to not leave Leonel's side ever since she learned he might very well be in danger soon, was watching Leonel Craft for the first time.

Well, this wasn't necessarily the first time. She had been in the vicinity before, but this could be considered the first time all her attention was on him completely. Usually, when the two were working in the same room, they would be in their own worlds. But this time was different.

"I didn't have the skill to make anything better than a bow in the past." Leonel replied. "But this doesn't mean I'm abandoning my bow."

Leonel had far more flexibility with a bow than he ever would with a gun. The maneuvers he could make, most of which relied on his ridiculous coordination and calculation abilities, would always be beyond anything he could do with a gun no matter how he built it. Sometimes the most ancient way to do something was the best way for a reason.

However, there was a reason the gun had surpassed the bow, at least on Earth.

For one, the learning curve was far steeper. And secondly, the power would never be able to match up.

In the past, Leonel had reached an odd state where his Crafting skill wasn't high enough to surpass his personal strength, thus resulting in him not being capable of creating things that would truly help him in battle.

He quickly outgrew his pair of pistols. He couldn't form consumable items he found worth using in battle. And, the ultimate almost 'slap' to his face as a Crafter was his Spear Domain Ring.
