Dimensional Descent

The Earth seemed to respond to Leonel's call. At that moment, Bronze Runes jumped to life all across his toned torso, a halo of light appearing about his head.

But this time, something seemed different.

Black sparkling energy, radiant golden light, glimmering soft blue brilliance and a raging inferno of crimson followed the path of his Runes, fusing with his body as though they had always been there.

In the blink of an eye, over 80% of the Peace Keepers fell face first into the ground, facing a level of gravity they had never experienced before. Even those who managed to remain standing found it difficult to stop their knees from trembling.

Many innocents were caught in the crossfire, namely those who had been waiting to purchase Ores of their own and even Kaela who had been thinking of helping Leonel. But at this moment, the youth didn't seem to care.

Leonel could feel the ground beneath his bare feet. Well, he had always been able to and this only became easier after he began to wear Valiant Heart's uniform.

But at this moment, it almost felt as though the world was in the palm of his hands.

He could feel it. Even without summoning a Force Art, controlling the Earth was as easy as thinking it.

The instant he thought it, numerous earthen chains shot out for the group, shooting toward every Peace Keeper present.

Cormus, Ardryn and Nigmir reacted quickly, the first and the last jumping high into the air while Ardryn swung down her heavy sword, bashing the ground beneath her apart.

The white tent collapsed, everything that was once inside it falling to the ground in a bloom of dust.

However, that had only been the beginning.
