Dimensional Descent

Leonel and Ramon's gazes met, the latter filled with rage and the former as cool as an iceberg. Internally, though, Leonel sighed. He couldn't say that he hadn't expected something like this to happen, but this also made the situation a hundred times more complicated to handle.

He hadn't wanted to harm Valorie so much, but there were two reasons he had no choice but to. The first was time, he didn't have the time to be soft hearted and battle it out with his fists.

on Ramon's armor. He realized after just a split moment of deduction that it was Ramon's armor, it was definitely his Divine Armor doing it. If Leonel was correct, the core piece of his armor should be a Dream Force Domain Type Ore, but he couldn't sense the exact ore, which meant that just like he had with his self-created formation, Ramon had
