Dimensional Descent

Leonel hopped down from the ledge, landing on the ground as though he was nothing more than a feather. It was especially odd since he hadn't seemed to have done anything to slow his descent. In fact, it looked as though he had even sped up his fall.

Leonel frowned when he saw Aina's bloody hands. He could tell that the skin beneath was already healed, but it didn't make him happy at all.

He sighed. "Didn't I tell you that you should always carry around a bunch of blood, it's too useful to your combat abilities not to."

Aina only smiled but didn't respond. She didn't carry around blood with her mostly because it felt like a cheat. Her Blood Force enhanced her abilities, but they weren't her foundational abilities, at least that was the way she saw it.

In her mind, her main focus should be increasing her raw ability. Then, of course, her Blood Force would be able to boost that when she needed it, thus making her stronger.

All this time, Aina's Blood Force had been like an enigmatic existence looming at the back of her mind. She never really understood it or what it meant to be a Blood Sovereign. In fact, she somewhat hated it and wanted to run from it due to the bad experiences it had caused her.

The fusion with the Gold Tablet seemed to have subtly changed those thoughts within her, but she had only combined with it a few hours ago at most, how would that be enough time to change her entire mentality?

Ultimately, she knew that Leonel was right and had always been right. If she had stored the large amount of demon blood she had gotten from the High Class Sector instead of just leaving it behind like she usually did, then she wouldn't have suffered as much or maybe even not at all.

When she faced increasingly powerful opponents, she couldn't always hope to snatch their blood from them.

Just then when she had slapped Lovira and managed to draw blood, she realized that she couldn't even snatch away the latter's Blood Force, leading to her being pushed to the edge and forced to use a technique she wasn't even sure would work.

Luckily it had, but she still felt that it was a close call. If not for this, she would have been heavily injured if not dead.
