Dimensional Descent

Leonel took deep, heaving breaths. It had been a while since he needed to breathe so heavily to get something done.

His battle with Coldar lasted almost an entire week. Leonel wasn't sure if time in the tribulation and the time outside were the same or not, but regardless, a week here still very much felt like an entire week.

Even when he clearly had the upperhand, the Fiend Demon had refused to give up, forcing them to continue the battle again and again. To make things worse, the Fiend Demon's regenerative abilities were simply off the charts, it didn't seem like Leonel could cause it a single injury that could actually harm it.

Leonel continued to breathe hard, standing over Coldar's body. Finally, the demon couldn't seem to move anymore and simply looked up at Leonel expressionlessly. If it wasn't for the fact he too was also breathing hard, Leonel would have had a hard time believing that this demon was actually a living being, well that and the fact that he was basically immobilized not, his healing factor finally losing the ability to keep up.

Even now, Coldar hadn't given up. Leonel could see his muscles twitching as though he was still trying to stand. Leonel couldn't imagine what the battle would have been like if Coldar had absorbed as many Beast Crystals as he had.

Ironically, by now the advantage he had in terms of Beast Crystals was probably gone now than to this battle and he probably didn't get much else outside of whatever treasures were on him and a couple hundred territories. In the grand scheme, it wasn't worth it, but he also didn't have the ability to choose to retreat.

Theoretically, he could have used the orb Pririna had left behind, but because of one part pride, and another part because he felt that the reward would be worth it, he held on. Plus, he knew he had to defeat Coldar no matter what. If Leonel had to guess, he was definitely the strongest genius here, the rest should be a cake walk.

"What is your name?" Leonel asked.

Coldar's gaze flickered.

There were a lot of race enemies, but maybe the one with the most division were humans and demons, their cultures were strikingly different. It felt weird that a human was asking him such a question, especially since this was the first attempt at true communication.
