Dimensional Descent

The demon was enormous, standing just as tall as Leonel's construct. Its eyes were nothing more than two orbs of pulsing black flames and its body was covered from head to toe in thick, shiny, black scales.

It had a tail half the height of its already ridiculously tall body, but other than this, it was perfectly humanoid, even down to its human-like face despite it being covered in those radiant black scales.

When its palms met Leonel's, they were evenly matched for just a moment before Leonel's third, fourth, fifth and sixth arms collided against its solid check, sending it spiraling backward.

Deep indents appeared on its torso, Leonel's Aurora Star Force leaving devastating impacts in its wake. The collision was so powerful that the demon almost fell down, its balance having nearly been taken away from it.

This was a shocking matter for high level warriors, especially a strength based one like the demon. Their coordination, their dexterity and their balance was what most of their strength relied upon. Such a mistake wasn't something that would happen, and yet it just had.

Despite this, Leonel wasn't satisfied. This construct was powerful, but the reason he had yet to simply shift to purely targeting higher Fiend Class demons was because it was also greatly restrictive.

He wasn't used to having six arms, and he hadn't grasped enough of the mysteries of this Lineage Factor to even understand what he was supposed to do with three heads. He didn't even need the extra vision when his Starry Spirit Domain was already so powerful in this aspect.

Maybe the most obvious issue was its size. All of his spears had suddenly become useless, and so did his bow.

What made it all worth the exchange was his Lotus Domain, but that was most effective against those that relied on an external use of Force. As such, it was useless against a demon like this one who relied on nothing other than its pure physical strength.

Despite his frowning, Leonel continued to unleash a relentless barrage. To his back, Aina waited patiently for an opening, ready to strike at any moment.

'This is the problem with getting new and shiny abilities. They're so much more powerful, but because I don't have the accompanying techniques and can only rely on myself, I also regress in a lot of ways…'

This was what Leonel feared when he upgraded his Lineage Factors, this would almost always be a problem. He was just lucky to have spontaneously had the accumulated knowledge to form his Lotus Domain, but now that it was useless, his power took a dip.

'No, I'm likely missing something. I didn't just gain the Aurora Black Lineage Factor, but I felt it fuse with my Starry Tailed Fox Lineage Factor. In fact, the reason this construct has three heads and three pairs of arms in the first place is because the Starry Tailed Fox's strength is linked to its three tails…'
