Dimensional Descent

DiVincenzo's eyes widened. He had been so focused on Leonel and his danger that he hadn't paid much attention to this girl. Quite frankly, he wasn't even entirely sure of who she was. But the instant she burst forward with that speed, he was forced to pay attention even if he didn't want to. And the moment she started killing, let alone him, everyone's eyes were on her.

Aina walked through the forest, her ax swinging in wide arcs from side to side. But the most shocking part was that he was easily dozens of kilometers from her nearest target. Somehow, she had some sort of symbiotic, quantum relationship with the Blood Force in the distance. The instance she swung, Ax Force that should have been on her blade appeared kilometers ahead, fusing with the Blood Force and shredding everything in its path to pieces.

At the same time, blood roses formed in the air one after another, growing larger and larger with every dead target it assimilated.

Let alone DiVincenzo, even Leonel was shocked. Even he couldn't attack across such a long distance. Despite the fact he was well ahead of Aina now, he had still been forward to bring out his bow, only to realize that she still managed to somehow attack first.

Obviously, the warriors of Shield Cross Stars were taken aback as well. They had been bracing themselves, prepared to deploy their battle tactics, only to realize that the threat they thought was still making their way over here was actually already here.

A coercive pressure weighed down on the surroundings, the extremely heavy weight of a powerful might spreading out in all directions.

Leonel recognized almost instantly that this mind was Aina's. Her coercive pressure had actually progressed to this point.

'So that's how… She must have her own version of a Dream World or Starry Spirit Domain, but instead this one controls Blood Force…'

Leonel's foot pressed into the ground hard, causing cracks to spread out in all directions as he shot forward like a canon. This was excellent. He thought he would have to worry about Aina being on the frontlines which was also why he planned to use his bow to support her, but if things were like this then he could truly go all out.

As he blazed a trail forward, he could feel the heaviness of space around him. Using his Emulation Spatial Force had become easily three to five times more difficult and teleporting was an impossibility with the lock in space.

But none of that would matter once they left this encirclement.
