Together
Leonel sat in silence, the beads of sweat around him falling with even greater fervor. Even so, he seemed to be at peace.
Leonel opened his eyes and chuckled.
"You want to take that form?"
"Yip! Yip!"
"Okay. Let's see what you can do then."
Leonel didn't seem to sense the powerful auras headed in his direction at all. Instead, he smiled as he stood to his feet.
Little Blackstar unleashed a roar and suddenly became an enormous tortoise. His shell billowed with smoke, and when he opened his maw, black fog spilled out, drenching the crimson lands.
With a step, Leonel appeared on Blackstar's back. But his gaze couldn't help but flicker with surprise. He sensed that the enormous mountain range that reminded him so much of the Void Palace's mountains carried the aura of the Shadow World.
Leonel's surprise became a wild grin.
