Dimensional Descent

"I see…" Aina said lightly.

Her brows became extremely focused. It seemed that this matter would be more dangerous than she thought, but she was still quite confident.

"I should be able to minimize the Anarchic Force to the smallest extent. With my current abilities, I think we'll be able to eat around 10 of these before we start experiencing some of the adverse effects. If we have your Cleansing Waters, so long as we meditate within it for about an hour, we should be able to eat 10 more without issues."

Leonel sighed. Cleansing Waters? He didn't have access to that right now, and in this situation, there wasn't much he could do about it.

"How great do you think the improvement will be with 10?"

"I…" Aina's frown deepened. "… It will probably depend. This Fiend Class demon, for example, has an exceptionally strong body but really no other attributes. It's probably one of the best options for those foundation improving pills you were talking about. But if the next one we run into isn't like this and doesn't have great affinity with us, if I have to filter everything else out, it will greatly weaken the pill as well."

"It also might be a bit dangerous. If I refine this Fiend Class demon into a single pill, it might very well cause us more damage in the beginning than we can handle. If I refine it into two, it'll be difficult and we'll probably be bloated for a bit, but it should still be manageable, albeit painful.
