Dimensional Descent

Leonel sighed; at the very least, there was a bright side. He had coincidentally found an Evolution Ore Mine just a few days ago. Although it would mean stealing it from that young man, well... he didn't really have a choice, now did he?

The Reinforced Urbe Ore was a bit more troublesome, but it would be manageable so long as he refined it himself. It would be far cheaper as well, though far better if he could likewise find a mine. At that point, it would just take time and effort.

Luckily, Urbe Ore Mines were far more common than not. With Anastasia, he should have a good chance of finding one relatively quickly. He'd also have to do some analysis on the Evolution Ore mine to see if it had enough Evolution Ore. A million kilograms was far too exaggerated; it was hard to say if the mine had ten million kilograms worth.

In addition, the Fifth Dimension was just the lowest requirement, but the technique mentioned that it could be improved in the future. That meant that if Leonel could manage a higher Dimension, he should do so.

He took a breath and exhaled.

After some thought, he stood and vanished.

Kira sat in silence. She had been a bit aimless in the last few days. Auran had been her best friend, her elder brother, her father-figure. Now that he was gone, she didn't really know what to do.

She sensed someone land by her and she looked over to find that it was Leonel. She tried to force a smile, but tears came out of her eyes instead. She hurriedly looked away and wiped them, looking back out toward the seemingly endless ocean of Cleansing Waters before her.

She didn't really blame Leonel. Though this was the first time he had come to see her, much like everyone else she could tell that there was probably something horrible going on outside. They weren't as clueless as Leonel liked to think.

Plus, she had only met Leonel once before; it wasn't like they were extremely close or anything. Since he had something more important to do, it wasn't like she could demand his time.
