He was slightly concerned for the Drow, as from what he had gathered from her friend Neria Zathrieal, a light elf cleric and dear friend of the Drow, made him believe she'd follow him. Problem with that was sure, the Northern Trek did pose a fairly good walk and its lower heights were roamed by hares and other wildlife that could wish no harm to another, however it was the higher they went that concerned him. Lionel was a Leo-Sapien, his thick fur would allow him to last the blizzards. Giselle on the other hand was a drow who did not have any hair that he knew of aside the hair on her head; he was afraid she'd get overwhelmed by the vicious blizards further up. But it was her choice, and as Neria mentioned, she would follow him to the ends of the earth for this single adventure. That is what it seemed like, as the distance was very very far and it was not a very easy trip as well, having numerous diversions to speed him up by scaling tall cliffsides and even sprinting off trees and using them as springs to climb higher. Unfortunately, the higher he went, the less chance he had off trees.<br/><br/>Lionel came across a Ryukamioni, a dragon-wolf-demon titan from the Fiend Family, and a master of fire at that. Its home was probably a cave nearby, maybe close to a hot spring, but the bottom line was that as the snow began to overwhelm the grass beneath him (as in tundra-like level) Lionel walked up the great demon. Giselle may have watched or not, but the bottom line was that the goliath roared at the Lion before swinging its collosal arm at him, a huge dust explosion from the impact as well as snow flinging elsewhere. However, as this cleared, one would see Lionel holding up the entire hand of the beast with one of his own, the other grasped firmly by the hilt of his sword, before he let out his own fierce roar, followed by "Foul beast of malice, perish from the sinister depths from whenst you came!" swinging his sword around and down on the hand he was holding, slicing through the demon like butter, causing it to shriek in pain. Lionel then, after regaining his posture, made his way to the beast, who had began to charge after him. Lionel's eye twitched, which followed by him leaping into the air, sheathing his sword, grasping the Ryukamioni's neck and snapping it, a trinkle of blood from the great beast's neck as Lionel landed, easily regaining his posture, and walking up ahead to his destination, the Ryukamioni falling into the snowy grass with a thud before turning to dust.<br/><br/>Eventually after many rocks to scale as well as winding routes, freezing snow, and evading the sights of a few Ryūnyo Blizzards, Lionel had made his way to a large open ground, where he walked up and looked around. Then he took a deep breath and his voice boomed. "So, Ultima, it is time someone shall best you once and for all." he said confidently, the creature he seeked wasn't in sight. "I know you are making your way here as we speak Ultima, and at long last I will slay you. Jain Luzstone's life, the former number 7, will not be taken in vain, even by a Dark Lord such as yourself. And soon I shall destroy you, evil incarnate, as my blade shall tear you asunder!" he roared into the open world, his rival soon to approach. It was as if he felt it.<em>'Truely a great battle shall comence...'</em>He thought, before looking back towards Neria if she had followed him.
