Dimensional Descent

Leonel caught the Innate Node in a hand. Seeing how small it was, he couldn't help but sigh. All of this was caused by a small thing barely the size of a thumb nail.

That was right, the Innate Node within Myghell looked like a piece of a gem one might not even notice by a roadside if it wasn't for the blinding like it was giving off. It was completely unlike Leonel's own which was so large it had taken over his entire kidney.

At a glance, Leonel could tell that while Myghell had been able to adapt, he hadn't been able to do so perfectly.

For one, the Innate Node hadn't grown along with him. Though Leonel wasn't certain if it was meant to grow to the exaggerated size of his own, he was pretty sure that this was far too small.

Secondly, the aura that this Innate Node was giving off was only at the Fourth Dimension. Myghell was already a step away from the Sixth, and yet the Innate Node he had taken from Leonel had only crossed a single Dimensional barrier in all these years.

It was clear and obvious that the transplant wasn't perfect and if it wasn't for Myghell's Ability, it likely wouldn't have shown any progress at all. What was even more obvious was that the help Myghell had gained from this Innate Node to progress his Lineage Factor was far less than Leonel had originally assumed.

Realizing these things, how could Leonel not feel that things were practically comical at this point. All this commotion for this.

At the same time though, Leonel felt an apprehension creep up within his heart. His Innate Node was actually so powerful that proper comprehension of it had given Myghell so much strength…

Leonel suddenly coughed, his Divine Armor faded away as he fell backward.

'… I'm tired as hell…'

Leonel was asleep before he even hit the ground. He didn't even register that having lost the support of his spear, Myghell had fallen at the same time.
