Dimensional Descent

Leonel with an ability to use his Scarlet Star Force, even at just the Fourth Dimensional level, was like giving wings to a tiger. Facing nothing more than a group of Fifth Dimensional existences only a Tier or two higher than him, it made the prowess of the number one flame in all of existence shine through all the more.

Leonel's words seemed to stoke a flame in the youths.

"So that's what this is about? I heard that the Littlest Nova is late to the party, but I didn't expect you to be this desperate. Do you even understand the dynamics between our families to be asking such a question?"

The one who spoke was surprising Conon of the Lio family. Despite his usual personality, he had become frighteningly reserved after seeing Amery present. He might have been the first to act had this situation not been so odd to begin with. The Rapax were so focused on trying to take down Amery that they hadn't even splintered off a single one of them to try and wipe out what remained of their threats.

Conon's words, despite his brutish nature, actually sounded quite smart. And, despite seeing Armand, a man he could at best match evenly in battle, thrown back like a ragdoll, he hadn't reacted to this very much either.

"You can claim an upper hand for now. True State Force isn't something that can be countered easily. But, we'll all soon be in the Sixth Dimension, the level where true dividing lines and separations will happen.

"You're quite confident in your Innate Node, but do you know why Innate Nodes are rare amongst humans to begin with? Most people born with them end up dying before reaching their primes because they'll be consumed by them. Innate Nodes are the path of the Spirituals. They're the only race capable of coexisting with such a burden.

"But for you, not only will our God Paths be able to counter your Scarlet Star Force in the future, but you might very well die in a few decades anyway.

"So don't you think you're too arrogant?"
