Dimensional Descent

Things were quickly not going as planned. After receiving a report from Lyric, Minerva realized that the situation was far more complex than she had thought.

It was impossible. How could Leonel possibly evade her detection? The teleportation platforms of the Owlans were far beyond anything the lesser worlds would have. It felt like a joke to try and compare them.

She had seen Leonel's Crafting skill. It was impressive, but only insofar as his age and generation was taken into account. She still felt that she had nothing to fear from him on that front. Personally, she could like up at least 18 runes on the pillar.

As she was getting lost in her frustration, there was a rush and Aurora suddenly came into view.

"Master," she bowed low. Despite the fact Aurora looked older than Minerva, Minerva was actually the more senior of the two parties. In addition, she was by far the more powerful on top of that.

"What is it?" Minerva asked with a hint of expectation and irritability. She hoped that there was good news, but considering Aurora's expression... it didn't seem to be so.

"P-please follow me."

Aurora didn't dare to talk about this matter in public, so she took Minerva along with her.

When Minerva realized where they were going, she frowned. Wasn't this where they had stored the Pillar of Truth after the competition? What's going on?

Indeed, moments later, they entered a vast, well-kept underground space. At the center, there was the pillar of their ancestors.

"Why did you bring me here?"

Aurora's lips trembled, but ultimately she felt that showing would be better than telling here. She took out two braces that made Minerva furrowed her brows. Weren't those the ones Leonel had crafted? Didn't he take them with him? Why were they here?

Aurora tossed them at the pillar and there was a sudden blinding flash.
