203, Movement Nine: Nocturnal Elegy

Charles's greatest advantage lay in the spiritual enhancement brought about by facing the Evil God twice, which allowed him to make rapid progress in cultivating the Bloody Glory during the time he crossed over. It was only recently that his progress had fallen back to the level of a "normal genius."

For example, when he could control multiple targets at once, he didn't find it odd while using Flame Hand, thinking it was normal. But now, wielding dual swords and executing combined offensive and defensive maneuvers, each sword performing its own intricate changes as if he were directing limbs, he finally had an epiphany.
