Chapter 3213 Precipice
Leonel's aura seemed to rip through the veil of the world itself, towering up with such ferocity that even the clouds were pierced.
A Royal Crest Dharma appeared in the air once more, but this time it grew more shimmering and resplendent.
The spear hidden within became flooded by Force as it poured in from all directions. Like a dam that had been breached, the floodwaters barraged their way forward, moving with such momentum that even the Regulator couldn't hold them back anymore.
Leonel's spear howl shot through the air, the cracked blade in his hand shuddering as it underwent a baptism that shocked the world.
The bow followed suit.
Leonel had lifted his bow up a single time since coming to this city, and there was a reason for that. He had always been confident in his path forward when it came to the bow. He knew that if he could succeed with his spear, his bow would only naturally follow.
That was his confidence as a marksman.
And he was proven correct.
As Force began to spill over into the bow construct of his Dharma as well, the world trembled to its very core, shaking to the point it seemed that it might collapse.
In these months, Leonel had had several ideas for how he might reforge the Spear and Bow, but none of them felt perfect.
Every time he thought of a change, he realized that it was less of something that was appropriate for a Weapon Force and more so something that was more appropriate for a Path.
However, none of that was good enough. Just making the spear faster, or heavier, or sharper, was useless.
What made Weapon Forces so special was the underlying fluidity of it all. It was precisely because Spear Force could be used in such a wide variety of ways that it was so special as a Weapon Force. Or, more accurately, it was precisely this that made all Weapon Forces special.
Leonel's aura continued to skyrocket as madness unfurled. Tinges of red seeped into the foundation of his Weapon Forces, fighting and combating the violets that appeared at the same time.
They roared and raged, tugged and pulled.
Dream Force.
Leonel wanted it to become his key to everything. It was what would separate him from others and what caused the fundamental divide between his current Weapon Forces and his Weapon Forces of the past.
But it was tricky. If he was going to rely on a new Force, then it obviously wouldn't be a Weapon Force anymore...
Or was it?
What were Weapon Forces if not amalgamations of Forces?
What separated the fundamental laws that constructed a Weapon Force from any other? Why couldn't you just add Fire Force to Glaive Force and create a new Weapon Force like that?
The problem stemmed from the same reason you couldn't just melt together metals and hope they had a good outcome in the end. If you could, there wouldn't be such a large dividing line between normal Crafts and the Life Grade... or even a larger dividing line between the Life Grade and the Self Grade.
But that was precisely what Leonel had come to realize.
These Weapon Forces... all of them were at the Life Grade. They were constructs that many might tweak here and there, but they were fundamentally a Life Grade existence.
It was Sovereignty that tweaked it further, pushing it toward the Self Grade...
But it wasn't nearly enough.
It was at that moment that a precipice of combat and Crafting came to a head.
