Dimensional Descent

Simona stood in a violent rage, her purple eyes flickering with fire. She attacked immediately, but she paled a moment later.

She watched as her Force died out within her body. It was like she couldn't even control her own thoughts anymore, and her Force couldn't hear her cries.

At the moment, both she and Eduardo were nothing more than a pair of mortals. Even their bodily strength didn't work properly. When they tried to run, they were like a pair of amateur half marathon runners from back on Earth. They were entirely helpless before Leonel.

Leonel smiled and took a seat on a tree stump nearby.

The scenery wasn't bad. There were gorgeous flowers and tall trees. There was even a stream of water and a small meter-tall waterfall that gave even the sounds it produced some soothing ambiance.

He was in quite a good mood right now. The only thing that would make it better was having Aina by his side, but he didn't want to disturb her training. He knew well that she had her own thoughts and aspirations. Seeing the strength of Anselma had probably also caused her to redouble her efforts.

Even clearly injured, Leonel knew that he couldn't put up a fight against that woman. Through the eyes of that Blood Clone, he had felt her strength and it was beyond his imagination.

"Nice scenery, don't you think?"

Simona scowled and didn't reply. She was usually such a calm and composed person, but every time she ran into Leonel, things always went horribly wrong.

Leonel should already be dead; she had seen it with her own eyes, but somehow he was here. Worse than that, he had somehow snuck into her family's vaults and even kidnapped Eduardo.

Herself, she was fine with. She knew that she was weaker than Leonel.

Of course, this wasn't something she was resigned to. She felt that the only reason Leonel had surpassed her was that she lost her beast companion for over 20 years. Though it would take some time, she felt confident in catching up and surpassing her peers.
