Dimensional Descent

Yuri and Savahn looked toward one another. The stress between their brows was almost too obvious for all to see. It felt like they were a pair of mothers trying to care for their child, but the problem was that this child had the strength to flatten a mountain with a single stomp of her feet.

Was it jealousy? Maybe it was a bit of that. But, from what Yuri and Savahn understood about the situation, it was very likely that Aina was seeing something beyond that, something that she simply hated to see.

Once again, Leonel was putting himself at risk for the sake of saving someone else. How many times had she already seen something like this?

The trouble here, though, was the fact that they weren't sure what this meant for Aina's personality. Was it returning? Or was it a child-like temper tantrum triggered by something unknown?

It was simply too hard to tell, and this wasn't exactly a situation where they would be able to tell either. The two worriedly looked toward Leonel. Even if it wasn't for Aina, they wouldn't want to see Leonel die here. But, if he really did die, who knew how it would affect Aina?

…

Hearing the clear taunt in Leonel's words, Orinik's fury was at risk of tipping completely over.

"Leave it be."

The sudden voice was like trinkling rain water, delicate and echoing. It was soothing to an almost impossible degree, and yet it washed over the arena with a momentum that made many freeze. The power behind it was so undeniable that no one seemed to even think of imagining the kind of beauty behind these words. Just the thought alone felt blasphemous.

It was suddenly obvious to everyone present that Orinik, Ganor and the others were only the face of what the Void Palace had presented… The true brawn hadn't bothered to appear… Maybe precisely because they were unworthy.
