Dimensional Descent

The rumbling earth and the collapsing skies came to a pause. The Divine Guards, who had escaped into the distance, thinking that everything for this planet had come to an end, were stunned into silence. They truly hadn't expected that things would actually end like this, and so... simply at that.

They had heard tales of rampaging Metal Spirits. Although it hadn't happened in a very long time, there was a special alert placed on Divine Guards like them to watch out for them this time, that was why they were so quick to report things. During a Force Eruption dense region like this one, the Metal Spirits that were native to their world could very easily go out of control. Luckily, this hadn't happened yet, or rather not until now, but that was beside the point. What they were more keen on was the fact that things shouldn't have ended so easily.

A Metal Spirit was a force of nature. The more it observed, the more powerful it became, and in the end, the worst of them could even stand toe to toe with monstrous existences like the Void Beast. Of course, that was only in the most extreme of cases, and unlike the Void Beast, such Metal Spirits would usually not have their minds intact when they reached such a state. But it was a huge worry nonetheless.

Often, it took the efforts of an entire seasoned army, at the cost of many, to reel in this sort of enemy. So how had Leonel done it all on his own?

At that moment, several auras that both matched their own and even surpassed them rushed in from the distance. In the lead, there was an Ancestor Issa, but this wasn't too surprising to them. Most of the Ancestors were still focused on elucidating the secrets of their new Lineage Factor to worry about other things. So, currently, only Ancestor Issa and Ancestor Alvaro were heading the charge and leading the family currently.

However, when they approached, ready for battle to deal with the Metal Spirit, having responded quite quickly at that, they found... nothing?

Ancestor Issa frowned. Her time as an Ancestor was very precious, she couldn't just move around as she pleased. If it wasn't because the fluctuation of Force in the air was a bit odd, she would have already turned around and left the punishment to the forces beneath her. However, since something seemed off, she turned to the female Divine Guard.

"Divine Guard Elilen, what is the meaning of this?"
