The group of demons rushed into the earth, moving so quickly through the paths that Leonel had left behind that they were already seconds from catching up with him.
However, when they got to the end of the path, they found nothing. Leonel seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Khelgis frowned. He was certain that someone had just followed this path, but the problem was that Leonel seemed to have vanished into thin air.
There wasn't anywhere else that he could have possibly gone. There were no other patches of soft earth.
Was it a diversion? No, that didn't make sense. If he had the time to set aside and make a tunnel to distract them, why would it have just a single path? At the very least, he should give it some branching pathways so they would be distracted for longer than a few seconds, or make it so that they would split up and be easier to pick off.
However, none of that was happening here, and it was more confusing than anything. If Leonel could suddenly vanish into the earth, then why had he made this tunnel to begin with?
Khelgis' eyebrows flared with dancing flames. He didn't like this feeling at all. No one could lead him by the nose.
...
Leonel sat in a small crevice. Little Blackstar lay on his lap, panting for breath.
He could only shake his head, what a close call. But it seemed that Little Blackstar had given everything he had just to get them to this point.
In the final moment, when Leonel was struggling to make it through, he asked Anastasia to scan the rubble to see if there were any nearby pockets of air. Luckily there were, and he relied on Little Blackstar to get to them.
El'Rion had been born with a body so powerful he not only looked like an adult, but even Leonel's improved Starships had only left him with a few scratches.
This was all to say that Force Manipulation was just one standard by which to measure a person. Their intrinsic gifts, what they were born with, the blood running through their veins, was another huge aspect.
Even if Leonel had the same level or even Force Manipulation surpassing El'Rion right this moment, he still didn't stand a chance against the man.
This was the difference.
And now he was keenly feeling that weight right this moment. Khelgis and Adru were on another level.
However, Leonel didn't feel helpless. His caution should never be mistaken for cowardice.
Ultimately, he knew that the fact his body was still in the Third Dimension was actually weakening his current greatest strength: his Force Manipulation. His body had become its own sort of bottleneck.
'Annoying, but manageable.'
"Hey, what do you think the best path for my Metal Body is?"
Leonel had been focused on moving through the Dimensions so much, he had forgotten that retreating back to this stage was an opportunity to lay out his entire foundation again. This interaction had reminded him that your Dimension might have some importance, but it was only one pillar of many.
Since his father had a plan for his Dimensions, would he like not have a plan for this as well?
But Leonel was surprised when he got his answer.
[You've deviated from the original plan. The only information I can give you is to absorb mine sources rather than just ores]
