Dimensional Descent

Leonel's reaction was far too calm, but the reality was that it was hard to act surprised when you had deduced what would happen the moment it started. Had he wasted time trying to stop Veiga, the Morales would have suffered casualties, and heavy ones at that. At the very least, upwards of a million would have died. For the casualties to go from zero to that point, to this sort of level, he found it unacceptable.

But it was likely that whoever was messing with his plans likely knew this and acted accordingly. Though it was doubtful that they expected Leonel to be so decisive.

Unfortunately, whatever facade of a brash, unruly youth who was too full of himself wouldn't work anymore, but that was the least of his problems.

He cast a glance toward the Half Spirituals.

In order to deal with the immediate problem, he decisively destroyed the formation. This time, it was truly destroyed and there was no coming back from it other than to rebuild it from the ground up. While he could have taken his time to find a less crude situation, the more time he wasted, the more Morales would have died.

His speed of thought was fast, but not fast enough to analyze a Path that he had little to no idea about, and then apply that to a formation that spanned an entire solar system. Even he wasn't that mighty yet.

His most important takeaway from this event, though, was that this person was smart. Almost too smart.

Leonel couldn't remember ever giving this sort of evaluation to anyone. It was a simple one-word description, and it wasn't overly flowery in his presentation, but it held the weight of the word when it was spoken by him.

In order for this person to outplay him like this, they had to not only understand the weakness of his Silver Tablet and his Lineage Factor in combination, but they also had to be able to use an entire Path and a formation they had likely never even seen active in person, to create this whole farce.
