Dimensional Descent

So that was what Leonel did.

He used his Ability Index to take stock of his body, understanding it to the deepest and darkest depths. Then, he used his Unnamed Lineage Factor to take control of those depths, forcing them to accept a breadth of outside power.

They became like a vessel for his strength to leap forward by leaps and bounds.

In a way, he was "devouring" his own body, its potential. Using it as a conduit to cause his basic strength to soar.

He didn't care what it was. So long as it was a Mine Core with some sort of Light, Dark, Star, or any related Force to both sides of his Northern Star Lineage Factor, he devoured it.

All he could think about as he moved was El'Rion.

He could remember the sheer magnitude of his bodily strength. A single drop of his blood could destroy a Void Beast corpse he could hardly put a dent in. His body was so sacred that it refused to bleed even when he lost an arm. His vitality was so powerful that his language alone sounded like the roars of dragons and lions, and the claps of thunder and the strikes of lightning.

That was the body he wanted. He didn't know how far from it he was, but he wanted it.

He could feel that his body was like a bottomless well. It could take more, imposing his will on more, make more his own.

Just the Unnamed Lineage Factor alone was like an insatiable black hole. When the Golden Tiger and the Death Pulse Deer were added to the mix, Leonel's body was truly akin to a brewing storm in a bottle. Lightning alone couldn't crack it.

Every time he swallowed another Mine Core, his body would thrum with excitement. His blood would move faster, his heart thump louder.

The air began to shudder and quake around him as though his body alone had gained a will that imposed itself onto the world.

More. More. More.
