'Let's see. I've also been layering the speed of my attacks. Body movement, arm swings, hammer… but that's it.'
'The Divine Beast also elongated its pincers during the attack. On top of that, it launched its elongating pincers as well, adding even more speed.'
Kyle looked at his hammer.
'Technically, I could also expand my hammer. I mean, when I grow bigger, my hammer also grows. There are also Fragments of the Law of Minor Metal related to increasing metal's size.'
'Sadly, the speed isn't very overwhelming. It would maybe increase the speed of my swing by about 1%, but that's it.'
'What could I do to increase the speed of my attack even more?'
Kyle thought for a while about his past and how his battle style had evolved.
'I'm already using my physical power to its full potential. The only way to increase my speed even more would be via external support, which means the world around me.'
'I could use my Elements, but they are not nearly as strong as my Complex Laws.'
At that moment, Kyle remembered a couple of techniques he had learned as a Mortal.
'Air Current. I remember that.'
As an experiment, Kyle swung his hammer a bit while using Air Current.
There was basically no difference in speed. As soon as he started swinging, Air Current completely broke apart. After all, it was not made to be used by Crushers.
'If I could refine it further, I could maybe create something that uses Air Current as a base. Minor Wind includes the Fragment of Speed, which supports speeds up to 3,000 kilometers per second. If I just use it, I won't really get anywhere.'
'I would need a Fragment that increases my speed even more, but that would be a Fragment of the Law of Gravity Wind.'
'Speaking of, after I'm done with my new Complex Law, I'm going to comprehend that Law anyway.'
Kyle's brows furrowed.
'It's definitely the right choice to improve my Center next, but is it really the right choice to improve my body again with a Complex Level Five Law?'
'If I view this as an RPG, it would be like improving one good aspect to become even better, when I actually have other slots that are completely not in use. It's like getting a legendary chest piece to replace my rare chest piece while the remainder of my body doesn't wear any armor.'
'Shouldn't I fill out all the slots first?'
'Let's see, when I'm done with my new Complex Law, my Center will be much stronger. That basically improves all of my attributes while also having a significant impact on my Law of Hammer.'
'It's definitely the right choice. There's no reason to change that.'
'But what about the Complex Law following that? It would be a Level Five Complex Law, and it would replace my Level 3.5 Complex Law. That would make my current Complex Body Law useless.'
'I would be wasting a slot.'
'Yet, as a Crusher, it would still be the right choice to do that. After all, I was a Legendary Primal, and the baseline of my body is higher than any other Crusher's body. My physical power, as a baseline, is even stronger than the body of a Legendary Crusher.'
'But that's exactly the thing. It's the right choice currently, but for how long will that be true? I only truly benefit from my powerful body as a Crusher. As soon as I become a Sage, my body will basically be as strong as everyone else's.'
