Dimensional Descent

It was only a matter of a thought. Leonel had originally designed this ability so that Aina would be able to use his Ability Index as a proxy to increase the range of her own Ability Index outside of her body. But, who said that powerful abilities couldn't be used to flirt?

The moment Leonel held Aina's hand, he connected his Starry Spirit Domain with hers, the feeling making her gasp out in shock.

Back when Aina had connected with Yuri, the feeling was overwhelming and she instantly felt that her mind was tired. But, with Leonel taking on all the computing ability, it felt like she had gained Leonel's thinking speed, and she was quite speechless about what to say.

Was this how fast Leonel talked all the time? No wonder he couldn't stand to explain things to people, by the time you understood his thought, he would have had a thousand more.

"See? I'm confident."

Aina blinked, feeling that Leonel really wasn't lying to her. But, she still felt a bit stubborn about it. If it wasn't the Void Tower, then what could have possibly caused it?

"Just keep holding my hand," she said defiantly. "If you fall into a dream, we're falling into a dream together. That way, I can at least kick your ass until we starve to death or accidentally jump off the nearest building."

Leonel laughed and obliged. It was fine by him, as far as he was concerned, he had gained big here. What was there to hate about holding a maiden's hand?

Soon, though, Leonel had already turned his attention back to the vault, three illusory tails blooming to his back as he forced his Starry Spirit Domain to expand. With a range of five meters, he could only touch upon a fraction of the space around him, but he already had areas that he wanted to focus on.
