Dimensional Descent

Leonel pointed his spear toward the ground, a calm expression on his face. As Rhangyl's aura whipped about in the air, causing his white robes and pale violet hair to flutter about wildly, he stood in the midst of the storm without the slightest change to his expression.

Rhangyl was an anomaly. The man had ten Innate Nodes, and that alone was enough to put him into a class all his own, especially since he was naturally born with them and didn't have to manufacture them or form them after birth.

He had two Fire, three Wind, two Water, and three Earth Force Innate Nodes. They formed a perfect balance in his body.

In truth, the fact that he had once had three Wind Force Innate Nodes and just two of everything else had thrown off his progress and actually slowed him down. The moment he gained the balance he was looking for, allowing Wind to counter Earth and Fire to counter Water, his strength had soared by leaps and bounds.

By the time he had been taken in by the Spirituals and acclimated to these worlds with far more complete Forces, he improved by leaps and bounds in single instants.

Rather than being like Leonel and Aina who had to slowly rebuild their foundations, he was a Spiritual. He directly abandoned his old body, allowed his Innate Nodes to swap in far more powerful Forces, and then rebuilt this new body.

He would show Leonel the power of a true Spiritual.

His Forces roared and he pulled out his body. They coalesced into a single point and formed a rainbow arrow that sparkled beneath the sun. Then, he released the winding metallic bowstring with a TWANG!

BOOM!

The air exploded and shattered as though space had become as fragile as glass. The arrow appeared before Leonel in an instant of time, but he didn't even move, watching as it pierced through his chest.

Rhangyl's pupils constricted.

"I would suggest you bring out another weapon," Leonel said lightly.
