Dimensional Descent

BANG!

Leonel's fist flew forward like a falling meteor, shattering the metallic carapace of Runed Rapax before him.

From start to finish, it had been an absolute slaughter. What had started off as a Rapax stalking their position had immediately turned into an all out assault.

In one moment, Leonel had been by Aina's side, in the next he was above a Rapax's head, his fist falling as though an ice infused rock through the atmosphere.

His gaze flashed with a hidden Rune, his body covered in a destructive crimson coating that seemed to burn everything in its path. In a single strike, a Tier 9 Fifth Dimension Runed Rapax had fallen without even a method to fight back.

As cautious as Leonel had been last time, he didn't even bother to store this Rapax away before it died. His foot stamped down on its neck, shattering its spine and severing his head from its shoulders. Then, he ripped out what remained of its spine, taking with it its tail.

He snapped it all together, squeezing tight until the joints crumpled together into a long makeshift polearm with a scorpion-like blade on one end. It alone was easily over three meters long but Leonel didn't seem to care at all.

Ignoring the dismembered corpse, he took his new 'spear' and turned back to find Aina waiting with Little Blackstar in her arms.

"Don't look at me like that, there was really nothing I could say this time." Leonel said.
