Dimensional Descent

1973 Only as Good...

The armies of Fifth Nova had long since prepared, but it wasn't the armies that had made Leonel pause.

His eyes narrowed as he looked at the tall walls. He still had two wall collapsing exchanges that he hadn't used yet, he simply hadn't run into any enemies that were worth the effort, the Pisc and Quarius families had been the only ones that made the loss worthwhile.

But now he realized even without trying that the remaining two that he had wouldn't work now. These walls weren't built by a mysterious system, they were almost certainly built by Fifth Nova and his subordinates. They were several times more powerful than a Gold-Grade wall and were probably more powerful than even the Heir-Grade walls would be.

One shouldn't take the pre-generated walls lightly. Even the Sub-Grade wall had taken a combined effort of Leonel and Aina resonating their attacks to take it down in one strike. The difference between each subsequent grade of wall was only more exaggerated.

During Leonel's battle with Nazag, his territory had been too small to accommodate everyone and as such they had gathered outside, plus their walls had only been at the Sub-Grade and not very useful. When he fought with Armand, their village had only been at the Bronze-Grade and they faced a similar problem with Nazag. Plus, Leonel had descended from the skies back then, making it difficult for even those walls to have much use.

However, upon reaching the Silver-Grade, dropping down from the skies was already an impossible work around as the walls came formulated with a built in formation that protected both around and above. At the Gold-Grade, this formation was obviously even stronger, and as such, Ramon's self-created walls were even more devastating on the defensive front.

Leonel stopped the army because he knew no amount of forward momentum would be able to crush what was before him, he would only waste stamina going headlong without thinking.
