Dimensional Descent

Chapter 2980 Damn

The Celestial Terras didn't get to say anything. Leonel could see a dullness in their eyes, an unhurried, almost lackadaisical style that came from years of not fighting. It was like their entire race was covered in a shell and sealed away.

However, he could see that hidden deep within that dullness was something exceptionally frightening, something so frightening that even with Aina's strength, had they already awakened to it, he still wouldn't dare to come here.

This was a truly frightening race... Which was why it was also a shame that they were just sitting on the sidelines right now.

"Why not come out and have some fun?"

Leonel's own battle intent blazed. A halo appeared to his back, tattoos appeared across his body, and the clouds above rolled and tumbled.

Without Water Force, the clouds could only be said to be clouds of soot and dirt, but it was also because of that that they responded to Leonel's call much more fiercely than anything else could have.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Swift. Swift. Swift.

Leonel's arrows whistled forward so quickly that they seemed to teleport. They passed by Aina's cheeks and neck, but she continued to raise up her ax as though she hadn't sensed anything at all.

The combination of husband and wife had always been lethal. They both had absolute trust in one another, and it never wavered.

However, since then, many things had changed.

First, they truly got married, allowing their souls to merge. Let alone predicting one another's movements and calculating them, they could feel them, and even express them before their partner got a chance to.

Second, Aina had changed as well. In the past, she used to doubt and worry about every little thing that Leonel did because it filled her with fear. She didn't want to lose him; she couldn't stand the idea of him not being by her side.

But after their escapades in the Golden City, that had changed as well. She no longer worried about losing Leonel because she had trust that he would never lose to anything... that he would never allow anyone to come between them being together. She had more confidence in him now than anyone else, even herself... even her Clairvoyance.

And third, by the same token, Leonel had also undergone his own sort of metamorphosis. Now, he had absolute trust in Aina's abilities as well, and he was confident that even if a mistake did happen and she did die... She had the ability to bring herself back.

When these three pillars came together to form a sturdy foundation, they seemed to have reached a new level of cooperation entirely.

When one closed their eyes, it didn't feel as though there were two separate people fighting at all. Rather, it felt like the two had formed a monolith.

Their Forces began to pass through one another with great ease. Aina could feel the sharpness of an archer, and Leonel could feel the fluidity and changes in Aina's battle ax style.

Leonel's arrows zipped by and tore several holes in the gathering of Force that the Celestial Terra was trying to form. In the instant he released them, he used his own Earth Force and King's Might to take control.

It had to be remembered that Leonel's breakthrough in Earth Force taught him how to control it by force, ripping it out of the hands of the World Spirits that commanded it and making it his own. This was what allowed him to take Earth Force that was usually well known for its difficulty to control, and make it as fluid as any one of his other Forces.

If he could take control from World Spirits... A Celestial Terra without real fighting intent stood no chance against him as well.

All three arrows ripped through the enormous eye of the Celestial Terra, blinding it on one side. It unleashed a roar, but this only lasted for a small instant before Aina's ax descended.

The creature was far too large, and Aina was far too small in comparison to it. The moment it was blinded, Aina attacked outside of its periphery, and because of the streak of Earth Force control that Leonel had sent through his arrows, the Celestial Terra's Internal Sight missed it.

SHIIIING!

Leonel expected the Celestial Terra to be crippled, to maybe lose another eye, or maybe suffer bad enough brain damage that it had to retreat.

What he didn't expect was what actually happened.

The moment the Celestial Terra lost track of Aina, it was over. The strongest Blade strike that Leonel had ever seen personally descended. It cut down the body of the Celestial Terra and the world seemed to split in two.

Silence fell, and the Ancestor Celestial Terra trembled once before falling into two halves.

Leonel had a fourth arrow nocked, but he couldn't help but blink a few times to make sure that his eyes were seeing right.

It had to be remembered that before, Aina had struggled with a Celestial Terra. And he had ended up in an all-out battle with a Seventh Dimensional one. These creatures were exceptionally powerful, and even though they had lost much of their strength as Fallen Gods, they were an existence that couldn't be easily dealt with.

But Aina... had cut one in half, shell and all. And this one was not only the same level of talent as the Seventh Dimensional one that Leonel had fought back then, but it was also an Ancestor of the Ninth Dimension. The power of the two couldn't even be properly compared.

She stood in the skies and howls of rage filled it. But she only took a deep breath, causing a swarm of bronze-brown blood to fly toward her. As it was pulled into her control, the bronze-brown became a rusty, red-gold-ish color, and then became perfectly crimson.

"Well... damn..."

Leonel muttered for a moment before releasing his fourth arrow. Since this was the case... They could really cause some damage.

At that moment, the ground trembled and Leonel's arrow soared toward that precise location. But before it could land, it was shattered by a mysterious force.
