Dimensional Descent

Little Blackstar's speed was extraordinary. With the inherent darkness of the Void Battlefield and the black fog that hung over everything, Aina had indeed been correct about the little mink's stealth ability.

However, there was another reason that Leonel had chosen to go with Aina's suggestions, and that was because of the problem of visibility.

While it seemed like a good idea to get higher ground and see further, there was one important matter that had to be considered, and that was the fog. Even back on Void Palace grounds, Leonel could hardly see a few meters ahead of himself, and this was fairly similar for everyone else as well. Leonel wasn't convinced that the Void Battlefield would be much better. In fact, it was likely that it would be even worse.

Leonel had planned to circumvent this potential issue using an Internal Sight manipulation technique. By changing the form of his Internal Sight, he could gain more range in a straight line simply by rearranging how he allocated its volume. With the sudden increase to his mind's strength, Leonel had been confident that he could do this.

Of course, this came with a great risk. Internal Sight was just another form of manipulating Force and it could be sensed by those sensitive to it, especially those of higher Dimensions. It was possible that Rapax would be less sharp about such things considering their immunity, but it was also just as likely that they'd be hyper sensitive as seen by the first Rapax Leonel had fought after coming to this Nest. That particular Rapax, due to Leonel's loose use of his Internal Sight, had already sensed him before he even rounded the corner.

It was because of this that Leonel wasn't confident in avoiding detection using the fog, which was why he wanted to be the one to personally take on the burden.

This aside, Little Blackstar didn't have such an ability. He hadn't learned the technique Leonel had nor did he have great use of Internal Sight. It was odd, but Leonel couldn't remember Little Blackstar ever using Internal Sight at all.

However, what Little Blackstar could do was something else.
