Dimensional Descent

Leonel sighed inwardly. He had no plans to admit such a thing so publicly, but this was a huge issue.

Denying it wasn't enough when he was playing on a chessboard with so many intelligent people pulling their own strings.

He played his part and looked at the green runed Rapax with a deadpan expression that underlined his confusion. But his mind was already whirling at a thousand miles a second.

Soon, it was likely that his identity would be exposed, and he never thought for a second that it would happen this way.

If he was caught between a rock and a hard place before, right now he might as well have a meteor falling from above as well.

This was a terrible situation caused by the innocent words of a young Rapax.

This Rapax was, obviously, the very same one that Leonel had saved all those years ago. Back then, he could have absorbed his egg and gained a second Ability Index, but he hadn't because he chose to value the Rapax's life no differently than he would a human's life.

In Leonel's opinion, absorbing that egg would have been no different from killing a baby in its cradle just for a little of extra power. That was unacceptable to him.

Even now, after many of his views on morality had changed, he still wouldn't do such a thing. His morals might have changed, but his bottom line remained the exact same.

What Leonel didn't expect was that this moment of mercy and grace would come back to bite him like this.

Obviously, this was also the reason the young Rapax recognized the spear in his hand. This was the very same spear Leonel had received for saving him in the first place. The Rapax had respected his actions, and reciprocated in kind.

He let go of a string of curses in his mind, but he simply continued to stare are the Rapax without a word.
