Dimensional Descent

The two didn't speak immediately, nor did Leonel's expression waver. He just looked at her for a long time, feeling that her timing was pretty awful... or far too good, depending on how one looked at it.

Leonel hadn't expected to end up as injured as he had during the first battle. He planned to use the trio of beasts as a whetstone, but had ultimately ended up suffering from success.

The result was that Blackstar had used up all of his stamina and Leonel could only send him into the Segmented Cube, and now even Leonel himself had to retract his Divine Armor.

It had been a very long time since Leonel's Divine Armors had a stamina drain on him, but it also had to be remembered that one of his uncle's go-to methods of training was perpetually keeping his Divine Armor active.

Leonel had seen this once before, and his uncle had ended up taking it off just so he could see the avalanche of sweat beneath.

This was all to say that activating Divine Armor was certainly a sort of attack on the body, and it wasn't an easy thing to withstand.

Unfortunately, in this case, it was even more exaggerated because Leonel had created an unprecedented Divine Armor, one that pulled on everything he had just to sustain it.

There was a reason he had ended up half-dead just attempting to fuse with it.

So, it could be said that Minerva's timing truly was horrible.

However, Leonel didn't seem to notice that, or her relative closeness.

With Minerva's strength, even hundreds of meters of separation would have been far too close. But the fact that she was only three meters away seemed to be her making a point.

She could get this close without him noticing anything, and yet she didn't even take advantage, just standing there quietly.
