Dimensional Descent

Leonel blocked the twin sabers with the body of his spear, but his gaze still narrowed. He was so used to his weapons and treasures being far beyond that of his opponent that he was somewhat caught off guard when he was finally on the losing end for once.

According to his calculations, if not for the large swaths of blue Star Force in the surroundings, his spear might have already been cut in two… No, three pieces.

'Those twin sabers… Are both Silver Grade weapons…' Leonel's lip twitched.

Even his best weapon at the moment was a Quasi Silver Spear. Of course, it could be used for more than just its sharpness. But, he had a feeling that Kira's sabers were the same. It was just that he hadn't managed to push her into using them to their full potential.

'Is it normal to give Fifth Dimensional youths Sixth Dimensional weapons like this…?'

Leonel lamented this as though he hadn't been using Fifth Dimensional weapons at the Third Dimension. At the same time, he had no idea that Kira had only been loaned these weapons for the sake of the trial, they would be taken right back after she was done. In fact, if not for her status, even borrowing would have been impossible.

Of course, Leonel could access Silver Spears now as well. It was just that it wasn't worth it. Only the Spear that claimed a Peak would have a Domain to learn and Leonel wasn't quite ready to claim a Quasi Gold Spear just yet. He would have to cross into the Fifth Dimension first for that, and even then it would be difficult.

Leonel had all of these thoughts in an instant, but Kira had already reacted quickly. Realizing that she couldn't slice Leonel's weapon apart like she wanted, she pressed forward, raising her sabers again to maintain her forward momentum.

However, Leonel, who had been standing in place all this time, swept his spear downward toward Kira's legs. The timing was so immaculate that it almost seemed as though Kira was presenting her thigh to be chopped off as she stepped toward him.

Kira's eyes flashed, her wrist twisting as one of her sabers blocked. Though Leonel's actions had stifled her forward momentum, she was still able to brandish her second saber, spiraling it toward his neck with another twist of her wrist.
