Dimensional Descent

Leonel's gaze flickered with surprise before he actually smiled and chuckled. Without much fanfare, he looked toward Aina.

"Let's go."

Leonel tapped a foot and he and Aina shot forward, their speed blazing a trail through Void Palace.

In the skies, a far distance away, DiVincenzo's expression warped. He too hadn't expected the Void Palace to choose to take such a stance. Initially, he had been planning on forcing their hand, but…

His gaze flickered, landing on the running Leonel.

'It's him. He did it on purpose.'

Leonel seemed to have been playing the role of wastrel from the very beginning, and he had subtly pushed the Void Elders of the Void Palace into a corner where there was only so much that they could do. The moment he chose to slaughter those disciples without mercy, everything had already been set in stone. It was either they attack all out or retreat, there was no in between. However, should they choose to attack… The consequences would be unimaginable.

By making his stance so clear and showing his lack of hesitation, not to mention his personal strength, Leonel had forced Galienne to have no choice but to make this decision.

At that moment, DiVincenzo's jaw steeled, suddenly feeling that he wasn't facing a child at all, but before he could even decide how to handle this situation, he sensed several gazes land on him, making him feel as though his heart would stop beating any moment now.

"You may not attack freely. Do not put our disciples in danger, or you'll have to deal with me first."

Cornelius spoke calmly and evenly, his words clearly speaking for the elders as well. Since they had made such a decision, they wouldn't allow outside influences to harm the children. If they wanted to deal with Leonel, they would have to wait until he was out of range of the possibility of harming any other disciple.
