Dimensional Descent

Leonel's laughter echoed through the Void Battlefield. He seemed to take the death of an Ancestor as a practical joke.

The most shocking part of the attack was that the laser beam had started off wide and thick. But the moment it passed through the semi-ring anti-Anarchic Force barrier, it was stretched so thin that it became entirely invisible on the other side.

It seemed that the stretching of the Races that had entered the barrier wasn't a bug, it was a feature. Not only could it prevent those races from running away and forcing them to accept their punishment at the hands of the humans that now suddenly completely outnumbered them, but it could also be used to enhance laser attacks and any Force based attacks for that matter.

Leonel had clearly taken inspiration from the end of the Heir Wars to design this barrier. Why just have a barrier that could only allow attacks from one side when you could have a barrier that only allowed attacks from one side AND amplified those attacks as well?!

It was only after the Ancestor collapsed to an attack he couldn't even see properly that a small dot in the middle of his forehead was noticed.

On that day, the first Ancestor had fallen in the world, and the backdrop to his death was the laughter of a young man barely in his mid-twenties. The shock that this caused spread across the battlefield and the other races quickly retreated.

"Why are you running?" Leonel asked, jeering the invaders. "You all came with such fierce momentum, don't leave like this, I've been looking forward to meeting you all for so long."
