Dimensional Descent

'A seal, it's all a seal. They're trying to map it, and what, the Three Finger Cult wants me to stop it? But those chains in my body should have been placed there by the Demoness, so shouldn't that mean that this seal was created by her as well? Isn't she a demon? So her own people are trying to undo her work? But then why is she so entangled with humans?'

Leonel felt another headache coming along. The web had become just a little bit clearer, but he still didn't have enough information to see the whole picture. It felt like he was still being suffocated.

At first he was a frog at the bottom of a well, but now he was slowly climbing up the walls to find that not only was he buried far deeper than he thought, but the world outside was probably vaster than anything he could even begin to imagine.

"Well, we've killed two demons, but we definitely can't use them to meet our quota of three," Leonel finally said. "We'll have to find some more."

Aina nodded. She had killed them both too swiftly and far too easily. It didn't make sense to try and add some wounds to it either. Who knew what kind of means those powerhouses had? They could even read your mind if you weren't careful, let alone if you handed them a body of evidence to use against you.

Luckily, Aina could protect her mind thanks to Soul Clairvoyance, and Leonel's Dream Force had improved greatly as well, at least enough that he felt like he could maintain some semblance of control over his life in the short term.

The gap in the strength they expected Leonel and Aina to have, versus the strength they actually had was too far apart.

It had to be understood that the demons Aina had just treated like playthings were on a level beyond the Fiend Demons they had once had to risk life and limb to defeat. The geniuses of the Vast Bubble would have found themselves killed several times over if they had met that group of four.

Although Mo''Lexi was still far stronger than the two of them, Leonel still didn't want her to know just yet how much potential they truly had.

This was especially so for Aina.

Luckily, they hadn't ended up in the hands of the people of the Vast Bubble. Had they, they would have recognized Aina once Ophelia got her hands on her, and then much of their secrets would have been revealed.
