The two metallic birds weren't entirely metallic at all. With a sweep of his Internal Sight, Leonel could see that they had flesh and blood.

The answer, then, seemed simple. Weren't these two birds just wearing armor, then? But this wasn't the reality either. The metal wasn't being worn… It *was* them. It was as much their skin as flesh could be. In fact, it seemed that there were a few parts of their bodies that could be classified in much the same way.

If Leonel didn't have such a dislike of Simeon, upon stumbling upon his first cyborg sighting, he probably would have felt that this was very cool too. However, unsurprisingly, Simeon wasn't a person he liked very much at all.

Even setting aside what Simeon had tried to do to him, just the fact Simeon treated humans like experimental subjects was enough for Leonel to hate him. Leonel didn't even want to consider what sort of horrid torture these two birds had gone through to reach this state either.

Leonel's gaze swept by Simeon, landing on Zannos. It didn't take much deduction at all for Leonel to realize that he was likely the one who had shot the arrow. If not for his bloody nose, the bow he was barely holding onto was a dead giveaway.

However, after looking around some more, Leonel realized that this storm definitely wasn't being caused by these four. This meant that there was a more than 90% probability that they were looking for the creature at the core of all of this just like he was. There was no coincidence that they were in the exact direction Leonel had been heading in considering the sheer vastness of the ocean.

Leonel's eyes narrowed when he remembered was Simeon's ability was. If he was allowed to get his hands on such a creature and he controlled its genes to come under his command… Just what kind of devastation would that bring?

Remembering back to how Leonel met Little Blackstar, his grip on his spear rotated slightly. Back then, he had almost killed Little Blackstar just to ensure that he never ended in Simeon's hands. Now, it seemed that history was replaying itself.

The difference here, though was that while Little Blackstar had only been playful, this beast was costing people their lives.

Leonel had no idea what it was that these hidden families wanted, nor did he understand what their purpose on Earth was. But, what he did know was that when Earth was pushed into a corner facing the people of Terrain, he hadn't seen a single member of their ilk.
