Dimensional Descent

Aina blinked in surprise. She didn't expect to suddenly be pulled into Leonel's lap like that. But soon her bitter smile became a genuine one.

"Good. I'm not doing all this training just to get left on the sidelines," she remarked.

Leonel laughed. "Didn't we just beat up a certain foul-mouthed Dream Asura? I bet he's been trying to find a way to escape for ages now. Do you think he's despaired enough yet?"

Aina shook her head, unable to hold back a grin. "So that's why you've just been ignoring him?"

"I doubt a person like that's going to give up so easily. But that's also why it's good that it took us so long to beat him. It was a systematic crushing of his usual value system, one that was anything but a fluke. The only thing that would have been better was if either one of us could defeat him instantly. But that would also require him actually going all out first, something he was clearly not inclined to do."

"By now, though, he should have realized that he's entirely powerless in Anastasia's world. He can't do a thing. Let's go check on the puppet."

Aina squealed a bit as she was swept up into Leonel's arms. In a flash, they appeared by the Dream Asura.

In this time, he hadn't even been able to move, let alone figure out a path to escape. Seeing the couple appear before him in such ridiculous fashion, he couldn't help but scowl. It felt like they were taunting him.

He sneered. "Oh? The useless Force Pill Crafter can't even walk on her own now?"

Aina blinked before laughing.

"I think at this point we should call this place the Segmented Prison. How many idiots have you trapped in here?"
