Dimensional Descent

Leonel's spear flickered, driving through the chest of another Spiritual. Unlike with the Nomads, he let these people live, but it wasn't out of the kindness of his heart.

For one, he had his own bottom line, but deeper than that, as much as he really wanted to offend everyone under the sun, he couldn't do that. He had basically crippled the Gem Dream Pavilion already, and Burul was still on his kill list. If he crippled three Dream Pavilions, those bastards might find a reason to deal with him.

Of course, another reason was that they weren't involved in Clarence's death. However, this wasn't really enough of a reason for Leonel to spare them. The first reasons definitely weighed heavier.

Who knew if they wouldn't have treated Clarence the same way if they had a chance? Plus, it was clear and obvious to him that even if they were benevolent enough to let Clarence live, they still definitely wanted his head.

He wasn't a fan of sparing people who wanted to kill him, but some sacrifices ultimately had to be made. Of course, if they pissed him off enough, he wouldn't mind wiping them off the face of Existence.

But that was unnecessary... for now.

This was the sixth Spiritual that Leonel had killed, and he had already turned his attention toward the seventh. He knew that Burul and Regnier were likely trying their best to find him by now. Although Burul was a hothead that was easy to goad, that sort of provocation wouldn't last forever. He ultimately wasn't a fool.

From the six Spirituals he had "killed," he had managed to gain some more information about their communication method, mostly through the treasures they left behind.

The necklaces worked both ways. That essentially meant that if Regnier managed to find at least one of his Spiritual brethren, then Leonel could be found through their methods.

The drawback was that they wouldn't know exactly who was who and could only do so randomly, with the exception of the King necklace, of course. A necklace that was in Regnier's hands until it fell into Leonel's.

This essentially meant that if Regnier found one of his people, Leonel would definitely be caught, flaw or not.
