Dimensional Descent

Leonel took a breath and looked at Aina to check her condition. All things considered, she was doing far better than he was. She was only in the Fourth Dimension right now and that was a huge plus. The Regulator didn't lash out much at all, other than being a little pale, she was doing fine.

He, however... well, it was hard to find a single location on his body that wasn't injured, and that was just on the surface. The chains of the Regulator had no sense of space or distance, they could appear whenever they needed.

The wounds that could be seen with the naked eye were only the most obvious. The lacerations on his inner organs were where it got particularly bad. He had been skewered like Swiss cheese and there was hardly a part of his body, whether inner or outer, that was safe.

The worst part was that the chains had not vanished. They were still flickering into and out of existence.

'I need to deal with this.'

Aina was checking Leonel at the same time she checked her, and unlike Leonel, she didn't sigh in relief. If anything, her mood got worse. Leonel looked absolutely horrible. It was as though he might collapse any moment now.

"I'll be fine," Leonel said with a smile.

"You don't look like you're going to be fine. We don't have to do this, we can find another way. If I break through again, I can start focusing on Force Pill Crafting again. Maybe I can concoct a pill that can replace what you need."

Leonel smiled. In the world, Aina was probably only one of a select few who dared to say something like that. What kind of pill could replace the refinement of an entire world?

"Have you noticed?" Leonel asked.

"Noticed what?"

"You're in the Fourth Dimension, so it seems the Regulator didn't target you much, but it isn't as though I'm some sort of powerhouse. I'm only in the Fifth Dimension. So why is the gap between what the two of us experienced so large?"

Aina blinked in confusion before her eyes widened.
