Leonel slowly opened his eyes.
It was starting.
It could be said that up until now, the Idol Battlefield was mostly just a test. It was necessary to reach a certain threshold to be allowed to reach this next step. Only then would you be allowed to enter the true Idol Battlefield.
The fact that the corridor was so similar to the Valiant Heart Zone wasn't lost on Leonel. He felt that these things were definitely related. And if he was correct, then what was on the other side of this was to be expected.
Of course, he had his grandfather's descriptions of the battlefield, but while they confirmed his suspicions, what they didn't do was give the exact method of clearance.
But… if Leonel was correct, then he knew exactly what he had to do.
