Dimensional Descent Chapter 3082 Law Spirit

Chapter 3082 Law Spirit

Leonel understood something after seeing the true Adurna shield in action. Before, Nana had been just using it like a normal shield, albeit an extremely powerful one. She attached it to her arm and used it to directly block blows from enemies.
Honestly speaking, even while being used like this, the Heirloom was extremely powerful. It could absorb blows far beyond Nana's strength, allowing her the sturdiness to not even need to take a step back.
However, this wasn't where the true strength of the Heirloom lay.
It all clicked for Leonel when he remembered one very important thing: the spirit.
It could be said that the outer appearance of the Heirlooms was just a shell. It could practically be anything so long as it was sturdy enough.
But what really shocked Leonel was that the spirits were almost like the embodiment of a law, more complicated than an Edict, less potent and lacking in depth compared to a World Spirit.
The spirit of these weapons was essentially capable of exerting an influence of its own rules onto the world, and when you learned to communicate and convene with this Law Spirit, you could then begin exhibiting the truest strength of the treasure.
The Adurna family's Law Spirit seemed only capable of doing one thing: Defending. But this wasn't exactly the correct way to describe it. Rather, one needed to take a step back and realize that whether it was Force or the body of its wielder, the Law Spirit always had to be attached to something.
Rather than saying it practiced the Law of Defense, it would be more accurate to say that it practiced the Law of Reinforcement.
It could reinforce the skin, the bone, the inner organs… even one's Force.
Just like the Adurna family Lineage Factor! In fact, the two were extensions of one another!
'It's almost like an Idol concentrated into a weapon… it's a beautiful feat of Crafting…'
What Nana had realized was that this Law Spirit was likewise highly compatible with her Ability Index.
Nana's Bind Ability Index was a form of Reinforcement as well. It convened with the laws of the world and her words in order to bind her opponents, reinforcing the world around them until they couldn't move. If anything, her Bind Ability Index was just a higher form of Reinforcement, capable of more flexibility and application…
That was because she couldn't just bind people to stand in a single spot; she could bind the laws themselves, limiting access to certain Forces, restraining Ability Indexes, and even Lineage Factors.
When the two came together, she was able to display a great deal of power, the likes of which the Adurna family Heirloom had never been able to experience before.
The irony was that this was all because of her Ability Index, something that was inherently non-hereditary. The Four Great Families could breed themselves until the end of the world and still have no guarantee of displaying this sort of compatibility.
In the distant past, Leonel had always wondered about Ability Indexes; they had no rhyme or reason, and even when family members shared some characteristics of them, it was purely coincidental.
However, he had come to the conclusion that Ability Indexes were like Existence pressing its weight on the scale of evolution, giving other powers chances to rise up and shifting the balance of the world.
Now, that was only all the more clear.
Leonel's bright gaze looked toward Nana. "I see you're focused on large-scale defense?"
Nana nodded, lowering her head.
"I can see your intentions, but don't focus too much on that stuff. If the power of the spirit wasn't so dispersed, your strength would be several times greater. Even if you want to help a large amount of people, you need to first be able to protect yourself."
Leonel smiled, rubbing her head. It was an action he couldn't help but do. She was far older than him by now, but he really couldn't look at her as anything other than the little girl from back then.
She had been carrying a burden for a long time, ever since she was a child. But now she was worried about worrying about the wrong things.
The reason those people wanted her to go down the wrong path was because she was the danger. If she spent too much time trying to protect a large amount of people, it would be slightly better, but still worse off than she could be.
What she needed right now was the strongest power in her hand.
"You've seen for yourself how compatible your Ability Index is with the Adurna shield. You're best suited for it. Take that to heart and display its fullest potential."
After Leonel finished speaking, he flipped a palm and the Brazinger Heirloom appeared in his hand.
"Watch." He said lightly.
He stared at the ax for a long while. Slowly, his eyes began to turn a fierce shade of red, crimson veins rushing up his arms in eerie patterns that looked as though he had been poisoned.
Leonel had realized that if the Adurna shield had such a Law Spirit, then the Brazinger ax certainly did as well.
He had been wondering what it was. Destruction, maybe? But no, that wasn't it. If it was he would have noticed this long ago. It was something else entirely… something more complex.
Rather than a Law of the Body like one might expect, it was actually a Law of the Mind.
To fight without Limits. No… to fight without a care for tomorrow.
The Law Spirit of the Brazinger Family Heirloom could only be the strongest in Aina's hands, that was because much like Blood Force, it took control of your Life Force, expelling it out all at once rather than in increments and over time.
It broke the protective limitations of your mind, giving you the greatest power… But if it was applied to a Weapon Force.
A raging intent stormed out of the blade and Leonel began to laugh.
"If I say you're a spear, then you're a spear."
