Dimensional Descent

The Aurora Black released a bellow, smashing its paws against its chest as though it wanted to let the world know that it was, indeed, the strongest.

Leonel instantly felt a wild energy entering his body. It was unbridled and unruly, surging toward his deepest foundations and shredding them apart to reform them.

The pain took deep roots within Leonel. He hadn't been conscious before, but this must have been something he went through previously. If it wasn't for his experience with his Metal Synergy Lineage Factor, such pain would have been enough to make him lose the will to go on entirely.

Leonel immediately used Dream Sense, splitting his sensory perception and easing the load on his nerves. However, this feeling of relief only lasted for an instant before it came back even stronger than before.

In the real world, Leonel involuntarily released a roar, his body cracking apart like he was carved of fragile glass.

Aina's expression changed. She wanted to do something, but she held back. There was already nothing more that she could do. If she interfered now, she might actually make things worse instead of better, especially since…

The dense fog in the surroundings wavered and her connection with Leonel severed. He couldn't seem to maintain it anymore.

Aina frowned. With a thought, another bottle of blood shattered and formed a down that enveloped Leonel. Others didn't need to see what was happening here.

After she was finished, she became several times more vigilant, even forming the dome of blood into a ball that directly picked Leonel up so that she could be ready to move at any time. She might have become much stronger, but it still wasn't anywhere near enough to be casual in this place.

She might be able to battle a Middle Fiend Class demon to a standstill if it was at her Tier, but high Fiend Class demons were beyond her, let alone a middle Fiend Class demon which was well beyond her in Tier. Right now, her top priority was Leonel's safety.
