Dimensional Descent

The key to this change was the title of Wise Star Order. Leonel thought a lot about it. In fact, he had spent an entire ten years on exactly this problem.

What did it mean to be a Star Order? What did it mean to be a Wise Star Order?

Leonel had his answer.

The light in Leonel's eyes glowed even brighter.

When Leonel first awakened his Star Order, officially becoming a Wise Star Order, he had felt it more clearly than he ever had before.

However, it was only thanks to Aina that he was truly able to understand.

The protocol that Aina created to allow his Lineage Factor to rely more on his soul than his body was precisely what he needed.

The core of a Wise Star Order was in their soul. In these years, Leonel had realized that precisely the difference between Star Orders and those who just carried the Northern Star Lineage Factor was how much their soul was involved in their strength.

Those in the latter group were existences who could only strengthen their bodies, pulling on the affinities granted to them to power themselves.

However, the former used their soul and bodies, reaching into a state and level the latter couldn't match up against.

This was why Star Orders were able to pull on much more power even from the weaker levels of the hierarchy... it was because they were able to access far more of the Envoy's power!

In that case, this meant that the key for Leonel to be able to become a Wise Sea Order resided in his heart.

He had not a single idea how to do this until he realized that he had the perfect medium...

His Mana Core.

the Mana Core had always been a bit of an anomaly to Leonel. He went through waves of using it heavily and then ignoring it because sometimes he would think of great methods to put it into action, and at other times his personal strength would long surpass those methods,
