Dimensional Descent

Leonel breathed heavily.

His body was still fine, not having suffered any wounds just yet. But, anyone who had been watching him battle previously would notice quite a striking difference: you could actually see the skin tight black fabric that wrapped around him, making his arm sling and useless right arm all the more obvious.

Leonel had been right. By the end of the seventh floor, he had run out of flying daggers and needles, making his life a living hell on the eighth. It had taken him almost ten minutes to clear the whole of the eighth floor, and the ninth floor started off even worse.

The beasts from the fifth floor to this point had all been in Tier 1 of the Sixth Dimension, however they had all been relatively weak and easier to handle. If Leonel had to describe it, it wasn't quite like what fighting Sixth Dimensional experts from the Milky Way would feel like, but it was only barely a step above.

The difficulty of these towers obviously wasn't in quality, at least not for this version. It was more so in quantity… Until the ninth floor, that is.

Leonel was suddenly faced with a horde of blue furred, four armed apes. Runes flickered about their bodies, giving Leonel a sort of stifling feeling, as though no matter how hard he attacked them, he would never be able to break through their defenses.

Leonel didn't quite understand where these Runes were coming from, if they were similar to his own Destruction Runes, or something entirely different. But, once he stepped into the God Path, he would understand what these Runes represented and exactly why it was Conon had said stepping into the Sixth Dimension would help them all to close the gap between themselves and Leonel's Innate Node.

These were indeed Runes similar to Leonel's Destruction Runes, and they were, indeed, primed toward defense. And yes… That did mean that Leonel's task had suddenly become another living nightmare.
