Dimensional Descent

Leonel sighed a breath of relief. Once again, the speed of Aina's recovery shot up again.

Sitting in the pool, Leonel allowed her to rest against his chest. Soon, her breathing stopped hitching and became calm and her head fell back against Leonel, the light sound of snoring coming from her parted lips.

Leonel smiled.

He quite liked this feeling. The way he could envelop her small frame in his arms and protect her, it made him feel at peace.

Leonel chuckled lightly. As expected of Aina, rather than wearing delicate female underwear, from what Leonel could tell, she actually wore male boxers. Her reasoning was probably that it was more comfortable, at least for battle.

Of course, Leonel was too much of a pansy to actually look with his eyes. He could just tell by how the fabric felt on his thighs.

Had Mordred been there, she would have most definitely rolled her eyes.

Leonel cast a silencing array over Aina's ears and brought out the dictionary once again, his expression becoming more serious.

"What is a One Star Mono-Layer Curse and how does it compare to a Four Star Tetra-Layer Curse?"

[ *Ping* ]

[ A One Star Mono-Layer Curse is a curse with just a single layer of complexity. It is not necessarily more or less complex than a Four Star Tetra-Layer Curse, though it is much easier to cure ]

Leonel frowned. What did it mean by not necessarily more or less complex? What was the point of the divisions, then?

[ A One Star Mono-Layer Curse can only take root in a Third Dimensional existence. However, a Four Star Tetra-Layer Curse is effective even against a Sixth Dimensional existence ]

Leonel's frown deepened. Aina was dealing with a curse that powerful?

"What did you mean by Aina's curse was almost as effective as a Four Star Tetra-Layer Curse?"

[ *Ping* ]

[ A curse's effectiveness is based on two factors: its complexity and its level of integration. Aina has a curse with a simple complexity, but an elite growth rate. This allows it to display more strength over time ]
