What had impressed Shade most about Star last night had not been her beastly form, but the sight of her falling. Therefore, he was not surprised to gain such a power from the nun. So long as it was not the learnable "Meteorite Spell," he would be satisfied.
"Want to try it out?"
The nun asked softly.
Thus, the two left the Sacrificial Ground together. Rather than descending the steps toward the nuns' graveyard, they headed to the side. Shade had never been here before, but he knew this was the temple ruins of the Ancient Death God Sect.
On a relatively level clearing, Shade tried to activate the power of the thaumaturgy.
No additional incantation or casting gestures were needed. Once the thaumaturgy was activated, starlight surged from his body. Shade had not used a Flight Spell, yet his body rose into the night sky on its own.
Worried that charging for too long would cause excessive damage to the ground after the attack, Shade struck when he was only ten meters above the ground:
"Thaumaturgy—Falling Star Strike!"
At that moment, he seemed to transform into starlight. After tracing a beautiful arc, he descended from the upper diagonal with a rumbling crash.
A shockwave of starlight exploded outward from Shade's landing point. Yet when he rose and looked at the ground, he found not even a single crack. Naturally, this was not because the ground was exceptionally sturdy or because the thaumaturgy could not damage the earth. Rather, through skillful control, Shade had made the thaumaturgy's effect affect only the space above the ground.
Thus, if he used "Falling Star Strike" against a tall building from high in the air in the future, he could precisely control the attack after piercing through numerous floors and strike a specific floor.
