Dimensional Descent

"-so you were thrown into the in-between worlds to collect demons for the juniors, and this happened while you were inside?" Vivak's gaze narrowed. "You're quite... lucky."

Leonel laughed, scratching the back of his head. "My Dream Force is quite good and my reaction speed is excellent. Plus, I was lucky enough to find a spatial tear out and took my chances."

Vivak nodded slowly. Leonel's Dream Force was indeed powerful, abnormally so. It should also explain why he managed to become a Spear Sovereign.

"Ah! Noah!"

Leonel's eyes opened wide as though this was the first time he noticed his cousin by his side.

Noah was a bit sluggish to react, but he looked at Leonel with a dull gaze before nodding lightly.

"Oh... Hello, Leonel."

He nodded and then lowered his head to the floor.

Leonel blinked in "confusion," before he pursed his lips and pretended to be peeved by Noah's reaction.

The nonsense flew out from Leonel's mouth with a practiced ease.

He had thought about pretending not to know Noah at all, but he tossed that idea to the back.
