Dimensional Descent

"Ah. right!"

Emna looked around but couldn't find the body; After a while, she shook her head, it didn't matter much; The root of the mission wasn't the body at all, rather it was twofold; One aspect was for the sake of an offensive maneuver with defensive underpinnings; The second aspect was for the information that was likely here;

"This place is a station of Shield Cross Stars;"

This was a simple sentence. but the instant Leonel heard them. his expression turned serious; This wasn't just because of the words themselves. but it was rather because Emna was so forthright with this information to begin with; He could imagine the amount of effort it would have taken to get this sort of information. and while it seemed that Emna had a good impression of him likely stemming from their first meeting and her interactions with Raylion and Aphestus. the fact she could give him such an important piece of information without blinking just went to show how high his place in her heart was;

It was an odd feeling; Leonel had gotten very used to running into enemies wherever he went; There was even a point in time where he felt that maybe he had overestimated his charisma in the past; Why else could he not seem to make any friends in the Dimensional Verse?

However; Leonel made a mistake a lot of successful people; or just people in general; really; He focused a lot on the bad and didn't spend a lot of time looking toward his back-view; While there was a trail of devastation in his wake; there was also a lot of good that he had done;

He hadn't seen the light of hope in the eyes of Earth's Ministers just a few days ago when he returned; He hadn't seen the joy in the eyes of the citizens of the Ascension Empire when they had heard of his return; He hadn't experienced the relief they felt when he massacred the Brazinger family members in the skies;

And these were just the people of Earth;
