Chapter 416: Shadows (1) (2/2)

'Hm?'

Leonel's gaze sharpened.

He looked to his back, only to be slightly shocked as the illusion around the inner city began to slowly collapse.

The truth was that this illusion was never able to hide itself from Leonel's eyes. But now the Dream Force around it was dissipating, making it possible for everyone to see the hidden truth.

It was a massive metal dome. It stretched in length and width for at least ten kilometers. As for its height? It completely dwarfed the 20 meter tall or so walls of the outer city. It rose up at least a kilometer in that aspect alone.

It could only be described as a behemoth.

With the illusion gone, the true size of the city seemed to become obvious. The outer city was just a small ring around the outside compared to the monstrosity that took up the center of all of their lives.

Seeing such a sight, Leonel felt the rage he thought he had calmed in his chest flare up again.

With such a large space, was it really so impossible to allow everyone in? Did they really disdain to do so this much?

The worst part about it all was that the alloys used to form this dome couldn't even be breathed in the same breath as those that built the outer wall. It was infinitely close to a Fourth Dimension metal. In fact, this was simply because it was formed of a collection of Third Dimensional metals. In terms of strength alone, if Leonel's analysis was correct, it put many Fourth Dimensional metals to shame.

Yet, the outer wall was only considered to be strong within the Third Dimension. The difference was so striking that one almost couldn't help but laugh.

Leonel didn't have the time to care why the illusion had faded. He wanted nothing more than to charge over and flatten the dome he saw before him.

”Yip! Yip!”

Just when Leonel was about to do something stupid, a little mink pounced in his arms. This small action seemed to snap him back to reality.

Leonel looked up to find Aina following after the little mink, her great sword seemingly unblemished by battle.

”They're clear?” Leonel asked.

Aina nodded.

While Leonel's job had been to stop any more from leaking in, Aina had teamed up with the little mink to take out any that had managed to make their way into the city.

Leonel sighed. He really wasn't sure what to do.

He shook his head. 'Maybe I should just try to repair this wall first… Can I do it alone, though?'

'Hm?' Leonel frowned, his gaze focusing back on the little mink.

What were these little faint black balls floating around Little Blackstar?
