Dimensional Descent

Leonel watched Emna move; At times she would seem like a prowling cat beast and at other times she would become a sliding shadow; All of her movements were absolutely seamless and flowed from one to the next without the slightest wasted energy;

There was only a single person that Leonel had ever seen move like this; and that was the love of his life; Aina;

Aina always fought without the slightest bit of wasted energy; This was different from the more restrained style that Leonel had, albeit subtly;

Leonel didn't seem to waste any energy on the surface only because he always chose the most efficient route to defeat all of his opponents, but efficiency and no wasted energy didn't necessarily mean the same thing; While the latter always encompassed the former, the vice versa wasn't necessarily true;

Aina's battle style was the exact opposite of Leonel's, always suppressing her enemy with absolute strength and rarely ever holding anything back, however even so, she never wasted a single strand of energy all the while.

This was to say that Aina's method of using her body always managed to put 100% into her strike; her stride; and or her defense; Much the same way; Emna managed to achieve this as well; that sort of instinctual battle style that always made perfect use of one's bodily strength;

Just the fact that Leonel only knew one person like this. and that this person also happened to be the only individual Leonel had met that he felt truly matched him in talent. it was shocking enough to say the least;

wasn't just a single bastard child of the Brazinger family; If Aina's father could step out of the family, there was no saying that others couldn't do it as well; Plus, the fact that she didn't share the

it; Only then would she reject it; This obviously implied that

her father was ostracized. she was burdened with a curse and her mother was executed; She wanted more than to just slaughter; She wanted them to lower their heads in shame. she wanted them to acknowledge that her mother wasn't as useless as they

that just because Emna didn't share the family

was lost in thought. Emna made it to the fat

bellied man, or even just alert

especially after infusing the Runes of the Emperor's Might Lineage Factor's core abilities, Leonel's sensitivity toward things had become a lot sharper; Not only could he apply pressure that found its roots

brought him along to perfectly grasp its secrets and integrate with his Runes as though he had comprehended them all personally, this passive ability

Leonel could feel that Emna wasn't acting out of maliciousness. She had come here for a purpose

observing this might feel as though Emna was trying to rob the place. Although the station looked shabby, given its location, there was probably a large deposit of funds on it since it wasn't convenient to move them away given how out of the way this
