Dimensional Descent

Chapter 3249 A King and an Emperor (2)

Gervaise waved his scepter and the silent world churned. Palms filled the skies and Leonel was forced to look up to witness their majesty.

In that moment, he felt like he had been transported back in time, teleported to the day Gervaise used a single palm to swat a ship of Shield Cross Stars out of the skies.

Leonel remembered that day clearly because for maybe the dozenth time, he found himself facing his own death and mortality. However, just when he thought that his life was finished, Gervaise had swept in from on high.

He could recall feeling how grand that ability was. Although he had never thought it in so many words, he pined to one day have such strength.

Watching these palms descend now, his smile couldn't help but grow wider.

"If someone else had said that, maybe I would change my mind," Leonel spoke with a booming cadence, his words laced with his laughter and amusement. "But just for you, old man, I'll let it slide. That said, I won't be able to spare you from the consequences. I'm putting you right into a retirement home after this battle."

Leonel's palms flared out and Tolliver coated his body.
