Dimensional Descent

Leonel's expression went cold, his body flickering. Even without relying on his Ethereal Star Force, the speed he could tap into with his body alone was far beyond what most could match.

A spike of pain came from his collarbone, but with his Dream Sense, he would never allow it to impact his movement.

At that moment, a sharp wind whistled by his neck and shoulder. The danger made Leonel's hair stand on end, but he still didn't see the result. However, just because he couldn't see it, doesn't mean he couldn't hear it.

A whip-like mark cut across the ground, the grating sound of stone splitting entering Leonel's ears.

Leonel tapped his foot on the ground, his speed accelerating once more as his palm flipped over to reveal his Chain Domain Spear.

In that moment, an Absolute Domain formed around him. His Spear Force acted like it had a mind of its own, springing to light like a flashbang of gold.
