Dimensional Descent

The creature was humanoid, but it was very clearly not human.

It was covered in black fur and scales, alternating like some sort of elaborate armor, though it was very clearly a part of the creature's body. Its arms were so long that even though it walked completely upright without the slightest slouching of its back, it could easily grab its own thick shins. In fact, its hands were three times the size they should have been, capable of wrapping around its own thighs as though they were instead its wrists.

Its feet were just as overly large, the claws on it and its hands glistening with a dripping neon green liquid that made the ground sizzle with every drop.

Its head had four black horns coursing with green veins that carried down to its oddly human-looking face. If, that is, you ignored its large tusks that seemed to grow like a fifth and sixth horn.

This was no doubt a Fiend Class demon. Just the power of its body alone made the air tremble and quake, thick trees Leonel and Aina would have trouble cutting down with their weapon falling over just from a casual touch of its hip or knee.

Leonel's expression steeled. He sent a gaze toward Aina and she nodded lightly.

A low shout came from Leonel's lips, his body exploding forth with a vibrant white-gold light. Three tails appeared to his back and his hair became like a flowing river of white. His pupils dilated and his three Starry Domains manifested all at once.

At the same time, Aina slapped a gourd that hung to her hip. She had learned her lesson and Leonel hadn't let her leave the Human Class Sector without oceans worth of Human Class demon blood.

In an instant, their domains seemed to meld into one, their minds connecting via Leonel's Starry Spirit Domain.

Then, without waiting for the Fiend Class demon to approach any closer, they shot forward as one, Leonel's skin beginning to glow with vibrant Bronze Runes that erupted into a fiery blue glow.

Leonel pierced forward with all his might, Aina swinging down her ax as an eruption of Blood Force poured forward.
