Dimensional Descent

Leonel took a deep breath, surging tides of Force coming in from all directions to replenish his stamina. Thanks to his Stars, even though Leonel couldn't make use of the golden scaled koi fish without breaking the rules, Leonel's personal ability to replenish stamina was exceptional. It would at most take him a few dozen minutes to fully recover.

Still, his mind was wondering elsewhere as the battles raged on.

He hadn't expected that after he circumvented the problem of Aina, that he would run into another stone wall.

The problem of the spiders being destroyed wasn't actually much of an issue. They were just beast constructs, their death wouldn't harm Leonel in any way. But, in that moment, Leonel's own Internal Strength had almost been harmed. Had he not been fast enough, not only would Yuri's Internal Sight have damaged his own, but she would have also been able to trace those spiders back to him.

Leonel's brow couldn't help but furrow before he leaned back and sighed.

The Dimensional Verse was much larger than he gave it credit for. Even after so many years, it was still giving him surprises. He had originally thought that no one would be able to match his Internal Sight, especially after he matched his innate talent with the manipulation techniques of the Luxnix. But now, he had been slapped in the face not just once thanks to Aina, but twice thanks to Yuri.

As time went on, the advantage that Leonel had gained from his Wisdom Branche's First Awakening would only become less and less obvious. He had originally been leaps and bounds beyond anyone else, having Fifth Dimensional boundaries in the Third Dimension. But now, everyone was in the Fifth Dimension, he couldn't expect to continue with the same advantages. Or… He would have to forge new advantages for himself.

'I need to step into the Third Awakening of the Wisdom Branch soon…' Leonel thought to himself.

This was the first time Leonel actively wanted his Luxnix Lineage Factor to progress faster. In the past, it had always come naturally. But after these events, he realized that maybe just his own talent wasn't enough anymore.

As for the matters with Yuri, after calming himself from the initial shock, Leonel wasn't too surprised.
