[From the Author of UNLIMITED SPEED]

CREATION… There are three realms of might known to it—the Earth-Realm, Sky-Realm, and Heavenly-Realm. Four stages exist within each realm, and every created being must advance through each one with equal fairness to reach the highest attainable level… The Heavenly Realm!

Or so it was believed…

Privy to only the most privileged, was the knowledge of an ancient—unproven rumor. One that ran amok within the gatherings of the higher entities of the universe; the searing Seraphs, the arrogant Empyreans, and the lofty Celestials. A rumor that spoke of a fourth and final realm!

Inconceivable!

Or so they thought…

A deviant emerged. One backed up by Heaven's radiance. And whether coincidentally or not, his very name echoed this truth.

This is the tale of how the history of the universe was rewritten.

Rise of The Holy-Realm Rebel

My technique had been too beautiful, and Ubert nearly forgot where he was. Nearly.

The instant I entered the range of his spear, he acted, understanding that he had no power in a close-range fight.

A spear was versatile due to its superior reach, faster thrusts, effective parries, and the leverage its wielder had thanks to using both hands—allowing for formidable attack speeds and power. Meanwhile, as a sword user, I was limited to a shorter reach, forcing me to seek close combat, meaning my tactics would generally be predictable.

Nevertheless, it was for this reason I unleashed my movement technique right from the start. My lateral movements effectively cut down his ability to be precise, and the afterimages essentially spread the seed of doubt about whether or not he would strike me.
