Leon studied the options displayed in front of him, each tempting in its own right. But one path called to him above the rest—Dimensional Weaver.

    The idea of bending space and time held a unique appeal, and he knew that its potential for mobility and battlefield control would make him nearly unstoppable. Without hesitation, he selected Dimensional Weaver.

    [ Dimensional Weaver Path Chosen ]

    [ New Skills Unlocked ]

    Spatial Fold: Bend space to quickly move short distances or phase through physical obstacles. An advanced movement skill that allows instant repositioning, making it difficult for enemies to track movements.

    Dimensional Rift: Open temporary rifts that can be used for quick escapes or to unleash a wave of chaotic energy. Rifts also serve as small-scale portals, enabling advanced combat tactics.

    Gravity Flux: Manipulate gravity in a targeted area, slowing down enemies or trapping them momentarily by making the ground heavy beneath them.

    Astral Reach: Summon tendrils from the astral plane to ensnare or disarm enemies. These ethereal tendrils have a vast range and can be used to strike or pull distant objects or targets.

    Pocket Dimension: Create a personal, temporary space that Leon can enter and exit at will, providing a sanctuary for rest or an area to store items safely away from others'' reach.

    Current Space : 1 km]

    Each new skill opened up possibilities Leon had never dreamed of. The power to manipulate space, slow enemies, and create personal sanctuaries—all of it was now at his fingertips. His excitement was tempered only by the knowledge that he''d need to use these skills wisely in the coming battles.

    By nightfall, Leon and Luna were ready. They''d scouted the city''s outskirts and identified several locations where Rex''s men had been seen. Moving under the cover of darkness, they positioned themselves near one of these locations, a ramshackle fort where Rex''s lackeys had taken refuge.

    "Ready?" Luna whispered, her voice barely audible in the still night.

    Leon nodded. "More than ready. I''ll create a rift near the entrance to take out their front guards silently, then we can move in."

    With a flick of his wrist, he cast Dimensional Rift, opening a portal just behind the guards at the fort''s entrance. A tendril of chaotic energy lashed out from the rift, instantly neutralizing the guards in a silent, deadly embrace. Luna moved forward, her steps swift and silent as she eliminated the few remaining sentries. Together, they slipped into the fort, using the element of surprise to their advantage.

    Inside, Leon used Spatial Fold to navigate the shadows, striking from unexpected angles and creating confusion among Rex''s men. Those who managed to see him only caught glimpses before he vanished, reappearing in an entirely different location. Luna took advantage of the distraction, dispatching enemies with lethal precision.

    As they made their way deeper into the fort, the two of them found themselves face-to-face with Rex''s lieutenant, a burly warrior named Garret. He blocked their path with a menacing grin, brandishing a massive war axe.

    "So, the rats finally crawled out of their holes," Garret sneered. "Rex figured you two would come slinking back."

    Leon smirked, summoning Astral Reach to hold Garret in place with ethereal tendrils. The man struggled, his muscles bulging as he attempted to break free. But the tendrils held firm, binding him long enough for Luna to deliver a swift, decisive blow. And she did by letting his head fly leaving a trail of blood.

    With Garret out of the way, they pressed forward, finally reaching the fort''s central chamber. There, they found Rex, Simply tending to his injuries. But as Leon and Luna stepped into the room, his confidence faltered, his eyes narrowing at the sight of them.
