Dimensional Descent

1962 The Ocean

None had ever seen Leonel Force Craft before. He had left everything to the Segmented Cube until this moment.

From the beginning, most had assumed that Fifth Nova was the most talented Crafter of them all and that Leonel was probably the most talented in Combat. Most didn't understand the intricacies of the Divine Armor technique and as such couldn't make accurate deductions about them, only the Morales family understood for certain that it must have been Leonel who created his Life Grade armor, for others, it was easier to assume that there must be a different sort of explanation.

However, no one had expected Leonel to go from a path of murder to one of Crafting supremacy. His demeanor seemed entirely the same, and yet his actions couldn't have been any different. It felt like his quill had become a spear, carving out everything in its path and crushing all it came across.

Leonel's drawn Force Arts could only be said to be perfect. His Finger Designation left afterimages in the air as his hands danced across the skies.

Leonel tossed a plain plate of silver metal into the air.

Little Tolly snaked forward, enveloping it as Leonel's fingers tapped at the air. The crushing sound of the sound barrier shattering again and again resounded as Leonel's fingers only seemed to become faster and faster.

Little Tolly responded in kind, the plate of metal becoming long and wire-y before folding over itself and stretching out again.

With his other hand, Leonel's Force Arts appeared one after another. They danced in the wind like fluttering butterflies. Each had their own unique expression, breathing life into the surroundings. The weathered grass beneath his feet became more vibrant and the wind smelled sweeter.
