Dimensional Descent

Leonel's expression was already cold, but it was even more calculating than that. He had already felt the twitch of the start of El'Rion's action before he even moved with intention. Inwardly, he still found it amusing, but there was nothing amusing about the power of the fist approaching him right this moment. There was no facing it, the only option was to dodge. And luckily, he was ready to do so.

His steps moved at the same moment El'Rion did, his head tilting to the side, and his body narrowing from El'Rion's perspective.

For a long while, Leonel had thought about maybe learning a dedicated technique for his movement, thinking that it might help boost himself to an all-new level. But every time he entered a situation like this one, he realized why he never had. Calculating which step to take was far better than any movement technique he could learn from someone else.

'Let's call it... Dream Step.'

His hair fluttered as the roaring beast that was El'Rion's strike flashed by his cheek, leaving a searing heat on their surface, but when had he ever feared heat?

BOOM!

Even in the depths of space, there seemed to be the boom of wind and the collapse of the sound barrier, but Leonel realized that it was far more devastating than that. It was more like reality itself, the fabric of space, the Folds of Reality, had collapsed. It was truly ridiculous that a 14-year-old had such power. What would he be like after finishing puberty?

Leonel reached forward with two fingers and jabbed them into the Pluto youth's ribcage. The latter was so large compared to him that his fingers would easily fit through the gaps, but slipping through was one matter, actually piercing through this tough, greyish-blue skin was a different matter entirely.

However, Leonel didn't plan on piercing El'Rion's skin. He had been in the latter's body already; he knew that it was very similar to that of humans aside from some "small" difference. He had not one stomach, but four of them. He had not one heart, but two of them. His muscle fibers made what Leonel was proud of seem like more of a joke than anything else. But... the liver was still the liver.
