Dimensional Descent

Leonel took a breath and his smile vanished. There was a sharpness that thrummed through him at that moment that couldn't be denied from shining forth.

He took a breath and he waved a hand, his spear vanishing in favor of a bow.

With every step he took forward, his momentum continued to roar forth. His halo appeared behind him once again, reflecting the colors of his Mage Core. But this time, in its midst, his Life Tablet had risen above it.

Fluttering butterflies and motes of violet light loomed around Leonel and the last bits of his smile faded from his eyes, being replaced with a deep, dark chill.

At that moment, whether they wanted to admit it or not, those on the battlefield felt like the temperature had just plummeted by a few degrees.

Leonel's brothers surged forward and his own Bow Force exploded forth.

Two halo-like bracelets appeared, hovering around Leonel's wrists. The God Runes in the surroundings churned and Leonel's Bow Force seemed to grow stronger and stronger along with it.

A Natural Force Art suddenly took shape before Leonel's arrow. It happened so quickly that it looked like golden motes of light racing through a maze in one instant, but in the next, it reflected a gorgeous gold that carried the complexities of a lifetime.

Leonel sucked in a breath and the God that had died on his Destruction World was suddenly pulled toward him. Or rather… his soul was.

It looked as though nothing at all was left.

But how could a soul vanish before Leonel's eyes?

Under normal circumstances, this existence was simply far too powerful for Leonel to do anything about. But when he said he would show them fear…

He meant it with every fiber of his being.

The Life Tablet thrummed and the soul was forced into a corporeal state. And then, Leonel opened his mouth and spoke words that the God Realm had hoped it would never have to hear again.

"[Assimilate]."
