Dimensional Descent

BANG!

The aura around Leonel suddenly shifted. Despite the fact he hadn't aged even a single day, the presence he gave off was old and wizened. Short of a long head of white hair, his every movement exuded a scholarly and ancient air.

It took Leonel an entire three days to complete the Natural Force Art, but the result was far outside his expectations.

He suddenly realized at that moment that visualization wasn't new to him in the slightest. Wasn't this Natural Force Art exactly that?

Just gazing upon it rose his mind to an elevated state. Even if it wasn't permanent, with Leonel's mental fortitude, he could sustain it for much longer than most others would be able to. At the same time, as long as he was in this elevated state, he felt like his mental capacity had risen by more than ten times.

Something clicked for Leonel at that moment.

'The Fifth Dimensional layer… I can't describe all of it, but I suddenly feel like if I tried, I could pass down some portions of it without being stopped by that mysterious force…'

Leonel had grasped that subtle difference between knowing and understanding. The moment he crossed that barrier, it felt like the shackles around his knowledge of [Dimensional Cleanse] had loosened once again.

'So that's how it is… The Fifth Dimensional layer is evoking a Natural Force to raise the state of the mind. It's milder than the Natural Force Art I have, but its effects are also more permanent, especially when used over a long period of time…

'I was having some issues drawing a line between my Soul and Dream Force versus what the Fifth Dimension asked of me. After all, both were related to the mind and yet my Dream Force was already at the Fifth Dimension. I thought I might be able to step into the Sixth Dimension immediately. But, it seems like this isn't the case. In fact, the more powerful my mind is, the longer I'll have to spend in the Fifth Dimension, but this will also simultaneously lead to even better benefits from the Realm as well.'
