Dimensional Descent

The next day, a large delivery of Star Core, Refractive Gold and Blazing Night Ores was delivered to Leonel.

By this point, Kaela and the others had already accumulated more than enough merits for Leonel to be able to trade for this much on his own. However, why spend it if he could save these merit points for something else?

Leonel felt that this was more than enough to push his body to Tier 9 of his Metal Body, something Leonel had to thank the tablet for allowing him to accomplish.

After sorting out the information the tablet had flooded him with, Leonel had come to a solid understanding of what it was and how it worked, though its origins were still a complete mystery to him.

Leonel's conclusion was quite simple, the tablet seemed to be especially tied to Life Elemental Force and Dream Elemental Force. If Leonel had to describe it, he might even say that it was a combination of the two Forces to create an even higher grade Force he couldn't fathom.

Unfortunately, this unnamed Force was too illusive. And, even if it wasn't, Leonel didn't have the Life Elemental Affinity that would be needed to control it.

This aside, Leonel felt that the Force itself was less important in this context. What was important was the fact the tablet could produce it and make of it to perform all sorts of amazing actions.

The first and most obvious was resurrection. However, from Leonel's understanding, this wasn't an all encompassing resurrection. Only 'spirits' the tablet had accepted into itself could be allowed to be rebirthed. And, even then, it would only be once.
