Dimensional Descent

Leonel's eyes sparkled. After some thought, he pressed a hand into the walls around him. He pulled himself out of his Dream World and returned to a dark crevice of the collapsed mine.

At that moment, a bronze-violet aura came from him and seemed to invade the earth around him, turning it from a dense blackness to walls that gave off a healthy, gentle glow.

Then Leonel pushed some of the intention of his mind forward.

To both his surprise and expectation, the earth around him began to shift and move to his will, shifting out of the way.

Leonel leaned back in surprise. It had always been so hard to make use of Earth Force in the past, but now it was suddenly so easy? He had moved it even more easily than Little Tolly had, and it had hardly taken much effort on his part at all.

This wasn't just land influenced by the Ninth Dimensional Mine, but it truly was the Ninth Dimensional Urbe ore mine. Although it wasn't quite the ore itself yet, in a few decades there was no doubt that the area he was sitting in right this moment would turn into more Urbe Ore of the Ninth Dimensional variety. Even though, right now, it was just normal Earth, it was already far stronger than the Reinforced Sixth Dimensional Ore he had had before.

'Wow...'

Suddenly, Leonel understood everything. It hit him like a flashbang and everything seemed to slide into place.

Why was it so hard to use Earth Force on the physical earth itself? Why was it that only those with Ability Indexes like Raj could form it and manipulate it so easily?

Until now, the best application of Leonel's Earth Force was his Gravity Domain, but even that was something that he only used sparingly. He couldn't even scale it well enough to use it on the enemies that he was facing.
