Dimensional Descent

Leonel felt a calmness that he had never experienced before. It was probably the case that not even as a baby, without even needing to worry about his own bowel movements, did he feel so free. However, he didn't explore what this chance was. He knew that he could.

It was a large change, that was for certain. It was probably no less important than one of his Force breaking into the Impetus State. But he didn't have the luxury of finding out exactly what it was because he felt that too many powerful eyes were on him. So he remained still, looking at the ground in silence and feeling the speed of his mind increase at least tenfold.

At that moment, he could see it even more clearly than ever before, that "man" within himself that seemed to be almost drowning within a lake of blood. 'Go away,' he thought, seemingly without much conviction.

The lake of blood was suddenly blown into by a gentle breeze. As though the crimson was stripped away, all that was left was a gorgeous and radiant blue, so beautiful and perfect that it seemed to be droplets of heaven themselves coming together to form it.

The once-chained man, his hair covering his features, trembled and waves of Dream Force threatened to roar out again, only to be suppressed by Leonel's will. The man entered a state of calm and finally looked up. Or, rather, his head tilted upward as he adjusted himself into a state of meditation.

As he did so, Leonel felt a strong pull on the atmosphere around him that he once again forcefully cut off. Just now, he felt a speed of collecting Dream Force that put his Three Stars to absolute shame. The gap was so large that Leonel almost thought that even if he never formed his Stars again, he would be just fine.

Ultimately, though, he shook his head and dispelled those thoughts. The Stars he formed this time around would be so far beyond what he had formed the first time that it was unfair to compare. However, he still found it difficult to view a path that would allow their impact to be as great as this.
