In the 21st floor of the Necropolis dungeon, the teleportation sigil activated as two people appeared.
"I can't believe we're back already…"
Amber ignored Sol's comment and went to an open area to begin her training. Sol watched for a minute as she showcased a few of her new sand skills.
'Might as well make a resting area.'
Though they were both heading back to sleep at the inn, they would still need a place to rest throughout the day.
"[Create Earth]."
Creating the usual furniture consisting of simple chairs and a table, Sol also made a cooking area for later.
'I guess I should start as well.'
Sol went to an area away from Amber and looked at his status page.

'Hmm. I really want to see what the full spectrum attack looks like.'
Sol summoned seven hands around him. While Sol could have gone to the white room, he wanted to see its full power in the real world. The white room had limited space, and when he previously practiced big attacks like [Bombardment], he was unable to fully exhibit its full power within the restricted area.
The seven hands began to glow their respective colors. None of the hands changed significantly, with the exception of the orange hand that began to grow until it reached two meters.
Sol didn't go all out yet and first tested the power of each hand. Red had its powerful beams. Orange was large and heavy. Yellow had its numerous projectile orbs. Green had its protective barrier that could even withstand the red beam. Blue had its sharp crescents that would always move towards where Sol targeted. Indigo made its hand faster and stronger. Purple could create 5-meter zones where gravity is amplified or inverted.
'Alright, let's try duochrome first.'
He randomly chose the red and green, which then moved towards one another. Through [True Sight], he could see the mana of both colors mingle as a red beam was unleashed from where the two energies met. The red energy didn't blast outward but instead moved in a coil until it created a dome of energy.
Sol couldn't understand how the beam moved in such a way, but he immediately understood its effects.
'Let's try out its defense with a [Terra Spike].'
A spike emerged from the ground towards the red barrier, and upon contact, it was evaporated. Unlike the green barrier that only blocked, the duochrome combination of red and green created a barrier that disintegrated whatever made contact with it.
'How much effort would it take to break through it?'
Sol created earth spike after earth spike, each one stronger than the last. It was not until Sol made an extremely compact earth spike with 200 mana that there were some results.
This shocked Sol. 'This is ludicrous. It only cost 20 mana per second to maintain and accounting for my mana regeneration, it really only cost 15. Is [Polychromatism] that much stronger?'
Sol stopped channeling the duochrome shield and thought to himself.
'I can maintain it for as long as I want, but when I stop, it enters the cooldown…'
He also realized that cooldown applied to the full spectrum as well. So now Sol had to wait for a minute before he could try the full attack.
After waiting for a minute, Sol gathered all seven hands and channeled the full spectrum.
As if knowing what to do, each hand took position around the larger orange hand and began to slowly rotate around it. Each hand contributed its color into the orange hand that acted as the main hand in the formation. The hands rotating around began to accelerate faster and faster until all one could see was the afterimages. Energy from each hand was woven into the middle of the orange hand in a truly inexplicable way.
Feeling the energy reach its peak, Sol felt it was time to release it. 'Now!'
A meter long white beam emanated from the large hand, it grew to two meters before compacting back down to one meter. It headed in a straight line towards the nearby dungeon wall.
BOOM!
The white beam continued to drill into the wall continuously until Sol realized he was missing something.
'This has all the properties of the colors, right? What about…'
The white meter-long beam split into almost a hundred smaller beams that headed in every direction, but when Sol willed them to go towards the wall, some beams did a 90 degree bend while others curved and landed directly where he wanted. As a final command, the white beams moved in different directions, drilling and slashing at the walls not unlike whips. He wanted to continue trying out new attacks with all the colors, but he felt his mana draining extremely fast. The hands stopped rotating around the large hand, stopping the release of the large beam.
[Mana: 433/1650]
'How long was that? 20 seconds at most, and it took nearly all my mana. Granted I didn't start when it was full, but still…'
Sol didn't keep an eye on his mana and measured the consumption, but he guesstimated it would last him around 40 seconds before he ran out.
'Still, even within 20 seconds, this level of destruction…'
Now that the white beams no longer blocked his vision, he could see the scene of destruction before him. The wall was littered with holes and deep cuts throughout, which would normally be very hard to do in a dungeon. There was also a large hole a meter wide that continued deep into the wall, which even Sol couldn't see the end of.
While Sol was looking at the destruction he caused, Amber was not far away, also watching. She stopped training when she heard the loud booms and beams coming from his attack. Though one couldn't see it from her face, her fist was clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her skin. She turned back to her area and went headfirst into training with much more vigor.
