Dimensional Descent

In the blink of an eye, Leonel had suddenly left Aina far behind. However, she had a bright smile on her face and didn't seem fazed by it in the slightest.

She was quite happy and content if Leonel was stronger than her, not because she wanted to be protected, but because it would be easier for him to protect himself. That way, she would have less to worry about when it came to him.

At the same time, though, it lit a fire within her. Knowing Leonel, if she fell too far behind, he would use it as an excuse to keep her out of the loop, that was something that she couldn't allow. But this was a good opportunity too.

"Since you're so big and powerful now, I can officially be the passenger princess I was always meant to be. Let me ride on your shoulders, I want to meditate on the Blood Sovereign Tablet."

Leonel laughed. Aina wanted to be a passenger princess? As if he would ever believe something like that. It was more likely that the final thing she said was what she truly wanted to do. Now that she didn't need to worry about Leonel anymore, she could take some time to grow stronger.

As of right now, it wasn't a top priority to refine the demon corpses instantly. Aside from pausing to refine the Force Pills she and Leonel would consume immediately, she wouldn't need to pause her meditation at all.

"You don't have to ride on my shoulder, you can ride inside with me. I have absolute control over the gravity inside the construct. I can probably extend that outside too, but the tradeoff in stamina drain usually isn't worth it."

Aina's eyes lit up. That was even better.

She dispersed her blood armor, only to suddenly remember that she was half naked. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately for one man's eyes in particular, it was already too late.

Leonel blinked, his eyes roaming.

"My eyes are up here," Aina said with a cough.

"… I know where they are…" Leonel mumbled, somewhat out of it.
