Dimensional Descent

"We've found him!"

The voice came suddenly and with far more speed than anything could have expected. Liana was caught off guard and immediately made a move.

They made a move to circle around the apartment. At the same time, feeling that there was something odd about this occurrence, Liana contacted her brother as well.

Vivak frowned when he received the message. Found him already? What were the odds of that? He shook his head. No, it should make sense. He had been monitoring Leonel all the while, which meant that there was no way he had swapped a Blood Clone in before the arena battle. The only time he should have had to do so was when everyone thought he was dead and the security was more lax as a result. That should mean that the real Leonel was likely heavily injured. It made sense that he wouldn't be able to make it far.

After some thought, he got up and made a move as well, giving Anselma and her butler a glance.

...

The building was yet another apartment building, but this one was full of residents. When they saw so many covert ops surrounding their building, they were immediately on edge.

Liana swiftly controlled the situation.

"Clear out the building!"

Liana wasn't very worried about the situation here. No one had seen Leonel's real strength, and in her opinion, he was currently just a heavily injured Fifth Dimensional existence. Even children of the Godlen family were stronger than that, and that wasn't even taken into account of the fact that just being born in a Complete World made you far stronger as well.

Back when Leonel was in the Fifth Dimension and he first stepped foot into what he had called the Cataclysm Zone all this time, he had come across villagers that didn't seem to have a Dimensional level at all, they should have technically been in the Third Dimension. And yet, they were so powerful that he didn't dare to meet them head on and could only observe them from afar as he accustomed himself.

Liana was logically correct to assume that the situation would be about the same here. As such, worry of casualties was quite far in the back of her mind. She didn't think that Leonel could harm people, at least not on a large scale.

Of course, she had also been informed about the disappearance of Simona and Eduardo. However, she had her own theories about how that matter had gone down.

During the acceptance of a technique, one would be fully focused on the task at hand and their mind would be completely co-opted by a flood of information. Usually, the technique room was a completely safe environment, so they obviously wouldn't hesitate to be completely at ease.

She believed that Leonel had hid and waited until that moment before kidnapping them both. This was very possible.

The only reason she was leading an evacuation in the first place was out of an abundance of caution. There was no reason to not take this extra step and cover all her bases.

Soon, large streams of people were being escorted out. With the Blood Compass in hand, none of them were worried about Leonel slipping through the cracks amongst this stream of people. If he tried to do so, then he would be too foolish.

Just minutes later, the task was complete and Liana commanded the team to close in.
