Dimensional Descent

Leonel had never paid as much attention to his connection with Blackstar as he should have. But after his change, he realized that a contract formed between man and beast wasn't so simple at all.

An intertwining of the soul was naturally an astonishing matter, as Leonel and Aina's union had shown them more than one time before. And it was precisely because of his experience in marriage that Leonel came to understand that his connection with Blackstar wasn't so simple, either.

It could be said that the reason he had never noticed before wasn't because he was too neglectful, but rather because Blackstar was far too unruly. A troublemaker in the truest sense.

In their relationship, Blackstar wasn't the beast, but was rather the man. Back then, Leonel didn't even know how to contract beasts, so the reality of their relationship was that Blackstar was the one in the superior position.

As such, there were certain things about their relationship that Blackstar could instinctually understand, but wasn't able to communicate with Leonel at all.

It wasn't until Leonel became a Wise Sea Order and gained the capability of seeing through most things that he was able to grasp what Blackstar had never been able to communicate to him.

It could be said that the closeness between him and this little mink was no less than that of the connection between him and his wife.

And in some ways, it was even more exaggerated than that.

Because they could truly battle as one.

It could be said that the moment the Shadow World appeared, it was like Leonel had formed his Divine Armor not of just four beasts, but five.

And one of those beasts happened to have the inheritance of the Void Beast and was a Shadow Sovereign of the ages.

In that moment, billowing plumes of smoke came from the soles of Leonel's feet and the corners of his eyes.
