Dimensional Descent

1829 Casual Breakthrough Leonel felt very lucky that he had invested so heavily into his vitality. If not for this, there was a chance that he really might not be able to keep up with Aina at all. Luckily, he went from potentially suffering loss after loss, to being quite undefeatable. Though, considering Aina's own talents, her recovery was off the charts and almost any little thing he did seemed to "trigger" her.

As far as Leonel was concerned, though, these were good problems to have. If there was anyone in his life that he wanted to please, this future wife of his was near the top of a very, very short list.

About a day or so later, Leonel sat in a state of meditation.

It was very easy to become complacent without the pressure of the Void Palace constantly barraging him from all sides. If there were any problems with the fact he had been booted prematurely, it was this.

He understood his own personality quite well, there was a subtle sort of lazy undertone to everything he did that came from a place of complacency, a place that made it feel like he was constantly looking down on the whole world.

But Leonel also knew better than anyone else that he hadn't earned such a complacency yet. Unless he actively suppressed it, he could spend weeks or even months at a time rolling around in bed with Aina without even the slightest worry in the world.

Luckily, he had become hyper aware of this flaw of his for multiple reasons.

First, there was Aina by his side. No matter what, she didn't have such complacency. Although she hadn't said anything after learning about Leonel's destruction of the Brazinger family, Leonel knew quite well that this was because they had entered a sort of second honeymoon period of their relationship.
