Chapter 110: EX 110. True Force
Leon sat in stillness, eyes half-lidded, his breathing slow and even as he turned his focus inward. Not to his body, no, this was something deeper. It wasn’t about muscle or stamina. It was his spirit he was reaching toward. The core of his being, where his talent dwelled... and now, where his newly awakened Affinity stirred.
He didn’t have to strain. All it took was a thought.
As a subtle pulse answered his will.
Suddenly, a thin, transparent aura-like energy shimmered faintly around his fists, barely visible to the naked eye. It wasn’t glowing or crackling like fire or lightning, it simply was. Subtle and Controlled. But powerful.
Leon blinked. "Interesting..."
Out of instinct, he raised his hand, slowly, just to get a closer look.
But even that slow movement caused the air around his hand to compress violently, a wave of displaced pressure blowing through the room like an invisible shockwave.
He froze mid-motion, stunned.
"...What the hell was that?" he whispered, eyes wide as he stared at his own arm.
"I barely moved."
His mind raced. The possibilities began to flash one after the other. Amplified strikes. Compressed bursts of force. Vibration nullification. Impact negation. Shockwave manipulation. Repulsion. Attraction. Even floating...
And that was just with his hands.
