Dimensional Descent

Leonel collapsed almost immediately. He couldn't be bothered to care about anything else; he barely had the strength to appease Aina for a bit and calm her before his heavy eyes fell closed.

His Dream Force right now was in the Higher Impetus State, but it could barely exhibit the strength of the Lower Impetus State, and that was only because of his Dream Sovereignty. If not for this, it wouldn't even be that good.
