Dimensional Descent

Seemingly feeling Leonel's battle intent, the Rapax howled, billowing steam jetting out from its pores and causing its silver natural armor to tinge with red.

With a step, it immediately tore through the tendrils that Leonel had blanketed the forest in. But, just as quickly as it did so, more swarmed to replace them.

Leonel reached to his back. Tapping Aina with the finger glove form of the Segmented Cube, he sent her inside. He wasn't sure if he could trust himself to not harm her with what he was about to do.

His hair billowed in the wind, his body crouching atop a branch as the Rapax barreled toward him. The Spear Domain crown glowed a brighter and brighter shade of gold above his forehead, pulsing strands of bronze, violet and crimson jetting out from his body.

Leonel's body erupted with flames, his body becoming enveloped by a smoldering heat that clashed and fought against the oppressive cold of his Dark Ice Armor.

Releasing a steamy breath, his irises were almost completely taken over by a red-gold.

'Destruction.'

Leonel vanished. Almost the instant he did, the branch he had just been standing up crumbled to nothing more than ash.

When he appeared again, his spear was nowhere to be seen, but his fist was not to be denied, flashing before the chest of the Rapax like a falling meteor.

"SKREEE!"

CLANG!

The Rapax's tail lashed out, slapping Leonel's fist away with its blade. However, in a clash of metal on metal, they both rebounded against one another.

Rapax's tail whipped backward to prepare for another strike even as it raised its leg to kick out at the retreating Leonel. However, it found its progress hindered by numerous tendrils of darkness.
