Dimensional Descent

2571 Trust

Leonel and Aina stepped out hand in hand. Leonel didn't seem worried about whether or not Aina could handle the Dream Force as well. Even if she hadn't benefited from his comprehension, just the fact she had Soul Clairvoyance would have made it a simple matter for her to deal with, even if Dream Force was bombarded at her.

"This place is beautiful," she said with a smile.

"And empty."

Aina giggled at the slight annoyance in Leonel's voice. She knew that he probably really wanted to round up those bastards and teach them a lesson, but they weren't in a position to do so. At least not yet.

On the way out, Leonel had conveniently given Eamon and Goggles the Forgetful Orbs. He needed two more Deacons and one disciple.

Luckily, Aina had just become a master herself, one worthy of becoming a Pavilion Head, even. So now, he just needed one more Deacon and one Disciple.

He believed that Eamon would be able to reach the threshold for Deacon soon, and Goggles would be a worthy disciple to take in.

Leonel had met Eamon in the mutated Evolution Ore Mine. He had proven himself to be meticulous and sharp, albeit extremely cautious to maybe even his own detriment.

Could Leonel trust him? Probably not as much as Goggles. After all, although Goggles' memory had been wiped of their time together, he knew and understood Goggle's temperament while he only knew a little about Eamon.

Goggles was a man who seemed cowardly, but was willing to put his life on the line for his friends, ultimately. He had been right there alongside them all as King Alexandre killed them one by one. It was a failure that Leonel still remembered clearly to this day.

Eamon was a person that Leonel could feel was kind and genuine, but there was only so much you could tell by normal means. His Dream Force did help with that, though.

Regardless, there was no doubt that he trusted Goggles far more.

Leonel sighed.
