Dimensional Descent

Leonel felt the response echo in his mind again and again.

He had deviated? That wasn't in regard to not following his father's previous plan, so it must refer to the mutation in his Lineage Factor? But hadn't his father known about the Constellation? So how could he not know about this?

Leonel's brows shot up as he remembered something. Wasn't the Midas family's portion of the Lineage about swallowing flames? Is that what his father meant?

According to what he knew, the Midas family could swallow flames to heal themselves and restore their vitality, something that was perfectly analogous to the Morales family's abilities, albeit somewhat muted.

Was he supposed to swallow flames to make it part of his Metal Body? Or would it be a Metal Fire Body at that point?

In truth, Leonel never really thought about that ability of the Midas. He just threw all three portions of the Lineage Factor into the same box and summarized them as "increasing his vitality". But was that true?

The Radix could give life to inorganic material. The Florer could give character to organic material, even incorporating it into their bodies and making them part of their strength, almost like vitality-sharing. And the Midas could absorb flames to add to their vitality.

They were all vaguely related to vitality in some way, with some subtle differences between them. But the reason Leonel could realize that these abilities were closely related to the former Metal Synergy Lineage Factor was precisely the same reason that they all blended together in his mind.

Another person might not have seen that they were connected at all. But because Leonel had, it had actually been holding him back until now. Or was it?

It was all a bit confusing because in the past, they had indeed been separate Lineage Factors. But weren't they all one now? And the worst part was that this same Lineage Factor, before he could get a feel for what it was, had also fused with the corrupted Spear Domain Lineage Factor.
