Dimensional Descent

As much as Aina trusted Leonel, the feeling of whipping wind slicing so close to her body couldn't help but make her freeze for a moment. It wasn't like Leonel had never supported her from the rear like this before. In fact, this was their favorite battle style whenever they fought together. The main issue was that usually Leonel's arrows would be half a foot from her at the closest, he had never toed the line like this before.

Luckily, Leonel had already accounted for the chance of Aina freezing.

His arrows tore past her, two curving toward the snout of the prowling creature and the last shooting for its last remaining eye.

Distracted by the arrows, the creature couldn't take advantage of Aina's lapse, immediately finding itself targeted in some of its most sensitive regions.

PENG! PENG! PENG!

The creature reacted quickly, swiping its paw and knocking down all three arrows at once.

"Trust me." Leonel's voice drifted to Aina's ears.

Aina had already begun to move, her ax descending from the skies with a valiant strength.

Leonel's gaze flickered, several simulations layering in his mind at once.

After his training, Leonel was able to split his mind into 27 ways. Originally, Leonel had been planning to rely on this to complete Dream Model.

By now, Leonel was able to simulate matters of the Third Dimension with a probability infinitely close to 100%. Even when it came to matters of the Fourth Dimension, he had a better than 90% accuracy.

90% was not good enough in battle. It worked fine when Leonel had time to complete thousands upon thousands of simulations for the sake of his Crafts. But in battle, if he tried to do such
