Dimensional Descent

Leonel would be lying if he said that he wasn't surprised by this. Rather than killing the creature, this man used his Ethereal Glabella to somehow trap it, and it was a shortcut of sorts to solidifying the connection with his real body.

'It should be related to those runes. That's definitely not a natural ability, or my studies would have stumbled upon it. In that case, it's definitely a treasure they used some special means to bring in.'

But Leonel could also tell that this treasure had its limitations.

That White Stone Elephant should be a Tier Five threat, and that was around the same threat level the man was exuding as well. As for the man's original threat level, it should have been Tier Four.

This was to say that this man only had to capture one beast to immediately shoot up that level. Even for Leonel, if he had to calculate how many Tier Five beasts it would take him to go from Tier Four to Tier Five, it would probably be at least a dozen.

Unfortunately, the cost for each Tier was just heavier. It would have taken him longer to reach Tier Four if not for the fact his Dream Force had improved.

But with those benefits came clear drawbacks.

This man could obviously only capture one creature at a time, and he was probably trying to defeat this Tier Six so that he could swap it out and replace his Tier Five one. If he did so, he would be even more dangerous.

'He should have something to rely on if he came here so boldly,' Leonel thought. Then his gaze changed perspective and landed on what he really wanted.
