Chapter 278: Star Force (1/2)

A pilar of golden light fell onto Leonel's body.

At first, he thought it was a pity. Aside from soreness in his muscles from pulling his bow again and again, there wasn't much else wrong with him.

However, the moment the pillar fell onto him, Leonel realized that he had thought too simply.

Leonel felt his meditation technique begin to circulate on its own. He immediately realized that this meditation technique wasn't one he had learned from Camelot, but rather a meditation technique he had grasped from [Merlin's Bestrowal: Bowman King].

Meditation techniques all relied on breathing. This wasn't only the expansion and contraction of the lungs, but of the Force Nodes as well.

Where they differed in complexity was in the purity of Force they used to temper one's already existing Internal Strength and the methods by which breathing could be done.

Many meditation techniques could only intake energy through the mouth and nose. Some higher level techniques could use the hands in thanks to special seals formed by the fingers.

However, Merlin's technique was on a completely different level. It could absorb Force directly through the Ethereal Glabella. Not only was Force capable of doing this exceptionally pure, but it was also incredibly dense, making it easier to Crystallize one's Force.

The special Force capable of doing this was known as Star Force.

Star Force was among the highest level Forces in all of existence, existing on a level no inferior to Light Elemental or Dark Elemental Force. In fact, this was only when considering the lowest grade Star Force there was. When the highest order Star Forces were taken into consideration, even such Elemental Forces could not compare.

Of course, this was just a matter of differing quality. There were always exceptions to the rule. There were stronger and weaker inheritances of Light and Darkness as well. But, this wasn't important at the moment.

What was important was that Star Force was well known for two abilities: its purity and its density.

Compared to other Forces, Star Force was the most well known for its purity. Not only was it exceptionally pure, but it could influence its surroundings to be purified. In fact, this latter abilities where much of its preciousness came from.

In addition, Star Force was naturally dense. Even without undergoing Crystallization, a given portion of Star Force could execute more actions than the same amount of another Force.

What Leonel realized at that moment was that this recovery opportunity wasn't just for healing his body, but it also circulated his meditation technique for him, purifying his Force.

Leonel immediately realized that this refinement was several times faster than it had been in the past.

Suddenly, Leonel's expression changed.

The two stars within his Ethereal Glabella began to greedily absorb the Star Force flooding into him. Soon, they began to spin faster, pulsing out with radiant Star Force that was a level purer and denser than what was provided by Merlin's Trial grounds.

Leonel felt like he had been hit by a bolt of lightning.

[Dimensional Cleanse]… Could it rely on Star Force as well?

Now that he thought about it, every time he formed a Star, his body would be cleansed and impurities would be washed from his body. DIdn't that conform with the abilities of Star Force?
