Dimensional Descent

[Thanks to Mr. Ham (4/6)]

The oppressive aura around Leonel vanished and his smile returned as Tolliver slipped back onto his own arm, disappearing from everyone's presence as though it was never around to begin with. It was only now they realized how they hadn't noticed the Metal Spirit earlier...

Leonel was constantly walking around with a Metal Spirit attached to him like that?!

The waves in their hearts that had been doused by Leonel's odd Crafting choices seemed to have returned in even greater force now.

This was on another level compared to Leonel's uncle always wearing his armor everywhere. It wasn't just a physical toll, but a mental one on top of that.

Who didn't know how voracious Metal Spirits were? With just a single roar, it felt as though Tolliver would swallow up the whole planet.

In fact, back when Tolliver had roared like that, the winged knights were all activated as though a great battle was coming...

And yet this was the Spirit that was so well under Leonel's control?
