Leonel didn't regret his decision. Although he didn't know of the appearance of the Owlan woman, he wasn't surprised in the slightest. Right now, because he had chosen the dominant victory route over the speed victory route, this was bound to happen.
But he was ready for it.
By the end of the first day, Leonel finally hit Tier Seven. At this point, the Forgetful Orbs were looking extremely enticing to him, and he had collected 22 of them. This was definitely more than enough to reach the Lower Life State. As for the Middle Life State, he wasn't too sure; it might even be unlikely.
This True Dream Plane was on the lower end, so while it was acceptable for Clarence to want to use it to enter the Life State, anything beyond was asking for too much.
Plus, his Dream Force was actually a second priority to him right now in comparison to reaching Tier Nine. What he wanted most was this victory.
Progressing through the Life State was something everything else found to be such a daunting task, but it was hard for Leonel to feel the same when he had casually accomplished the same after a random bout of meditation.
This wasn't to say that he was arrogant about it, but instead rightfully confident. These orbs were also of great value to his people as well. Since there was no guarantee of reaching the Middle Life State, wouldn't it be better to save them?
With a Forgetful Orb of this tear, he could definitely help several reach the Impetus State and catch up to him quite swiftly.
Who said they could only be used on Dream Force? novelbin
Leonel exhaled a breath, putting away his 23rd Forgetful Orb.
The rune nets were good, but they could only be used so much. If he wanted to actually have a chance to absorb the Dream Force the creatures released and improve, he couldn't use the rune nets because the default setting on them was to absorb the creature they attacked.
Leonel's figure flashed, and he suddenly blocked someone's path.
Regnier's pupils constricted. He had been looking for Leonel everywhere, high and low. The last three to four hours had been entirely spent on that pursuit, and his progression had slowed considerably.
He honestly didn't think it was a big deal because around this tier was where everyone slowed down. The last push to Tier Eight and Nine were very difficult.
Of course, the Tiers were Leonel's own self-created system. But everyone had their own divisions in their minds that worked similarly.
Leonel smiled. "Looking for me?"
Regnier had long since regained his calm. He wasn't brash, and that had simply been a momentary lapse. After he escaped Burul's rampage, he had long since returned to his normal baseline.
That was why when he first saw Leonel, his first thought wasn't rage, but rather caution.
How had Leonel found him so easily? How could he always appear without him being any wiser?
All signs pointed to the Life Tablet. But he had to admit that he didn't think that it would truly be this much of an advantage.
He was wrong, of course. He couldn't use Dream Force normally in this world, but that didn't mean Leonel couldn't. What weighed heaviest now was nothing but Leonel's Dream Sovereignty. He could naturally use Dream Force in ways Regnier couldn't fathom as he was stuck using it as a Wind Force.
"You must be wondering how I found you?" Leonel asked with a smile.
Regnier's eyes narrowed.
Leonel shrugged. "You're too predictable. You and Burul both. At this point, I've yet to come across a single Owlan, and that's not because of their low numbers, it's because they're focused on actually winning. Whereas you two are focused on killing me.
"How many humanoids do you think are still around these mountains?"
