Dimensional Descent

A rush of silence shot through the surroundings, even the Half Spiritual Overlord was stunned. That blast hadn't come from one of her people, their defenses were extremely powerful, but their offenses could only be directed under the hands of a master. This was one of the weaknesses of such large-scale natural formations.

However, she was the only one who could control enough of the formation to threaten Leonel's life, and only one person could use the formation at a time on top of that. And since she most definitely hadn't taken action, then...

She already knew what the answer was. Someone on Leonel's side had actually betrayed him. Despite the situation, she was too stunned to speak, and happiness wasn't her immediate emotion.

There was something sad about seeing a genius like this fall, even during this battle she had mostly wanted to capture Leonel and deal with him, she had some inkling about the kind of trouble that was coming over the horizon and people like Leonel were the kind they needed, it was just that his edge was far too sharp.

But now...

She looked at the hole that had gone through Leonel's chest and watched as his life began to fade. Even after several moments, she didn't know what to do, and because she hadn't done anything, the other Half Spirituals didn't do anything either.

Of course, they didn't feel the same way as their Overlord did, they only didn't move out of respect for her. If it was up to them, maybe they would have acted to cut Leonel's corpse into bloody ribbons just to make sure that he really was dead.

Despite the fact Leonel was now gone, he had left them vulnerable, his death didn't even feel worth it. Just how much effort had they put into making it to this point? And now the formation their Ancestors had put their blood, sweat, and tears into was no more. Would they even have the same standing in the Human Domain any longer? What about when the other races recovered and began their attack once more?

The more they thought about it, the more enraged they were at the dead Leonel. They felt that his death had been too easy. Plus, a man who would be betrayed by his own people had a character that spoke for itself. If he could be cut down at such a time, how could he have been a good, noble leader?

Whether it was he or his father, neither were good people.

Within the Morales army, the shock was palpable. They had gotten used to Leonel being infallible, they had gotten used to being infallible themselves as well. Even after so many died under the attacks of the Overlord, they felt nothing. After all, Leonel would just resurrect them later and everything would be fine, just like before.

now that Leonel was dead... Didn't that mean that all their comrades were dead as well? And what about the future of the Morales? This was a Patriarch that had accomplished so much in a short time, was his life really going
