Bab 1398: Very, Very Scared

The trek back was long but not particularly arduous. If it wasn't for the dense Anarchic Force in the air, it would have been quite a simple hike. With Aina's strength, even if Leonel was a hundred times heavier, it would have hardly made a difference. If it wasn't for the difference in their sizes, she could have just lifted him up and over her shoulder. 

With Leonel's teasing, she was almost tempted to do it anyway. But, she eventually decided that she would give him some leeway. 

Leonel, though, was greatly fascinated with Aina's Blood Force. Even now, he couldn't really understand how it worked. It seemed to both be a really sharp weapon and simultaneously a powerful shield as well. And, that was only when Aina didn't consume it. 

Leonel knew that Aina could benefit greatly from blood. He still remembered her absorbing his own blood through her fingers. The result of that was her curse being burnt away and her true appearance being locked into frame.
