Chapter 2973 Embara.s.sing Breakthrough
Leonel sprinted away at his fastest possible speed, dodging through trees, twisting around branches, and leaping over mountains.
"Get back here!"
Leonel made a yikes expression as he dove over a valley that appeared beneath his feet. He landed on the other side and accelerated again, becoming a beam of light that raced into the distance.
The moment he hit the ocean waters, he left a trail in his wake, a deep trench splitting the waters behind him.
"LEONEL MORALES, YOU GET BACK OVER HERE!"
Leonel sensed his hair stand on end and his Divine Armor took shape. He accelerated again, but feeling as though it wasn"t enough, he took out a bow and arrow and loosed it.
s.p.a.ce split and he ran in behind it, his speed hitting an all-new gear as a hand appeared just behind him, barely missing his hair with a swipe at the air.
Leonel sucked in a cold breath, but he couldn"t help but look down. Running this hard while you were naked was really difficult. He had no idea how the Greeks had done it. One wrong slap against his thigh and he would be keeling over in pain.
BANG!
Just as he was a bit distracted, a palm appeared before him. One caught the arrow out of the air, and the other slammed against his chest.
Leonel felt his ribcage bend and whine as though it might crack at any moment. He was sent flying back, his feet flailing in the air as he landed in the trench of water he had created, only for the waves to swallow him up.
Before he could escape down below, another hand reached down and picked him out of it.
Leonel coughed, looking at the beauty before him with an innocent expression.
"Oh, wife. Was that you calling me just now? I could have sworn it was an enemy. I was just trying my best to run to you so that we could fight them together. How embarra.s.sing."
At this moment, Aina"s golden eyes were s.h.i.+ning so bright that it was difficult to even look at her directly. Her hair emitted a ma.s.s of b.l.o.o.d.y energy and Leonel even felt his pores dilate as though his own blood might start pooling out of his own body any time now.
"You have a lot of nerve."
Aina spoke through gritted teeth.
An enemy? This was the Segmented Cube. Even if there was an enemy here, Anastasia would be able to kill most of them with a wave of the hand. Who would believe his foolishness?
Plus... he was coming to look for her. This was even more ridiculous because they had just been together. This Leonel was truly becoming more and more dishonest.
Leonel coughed. "Wife, is there a need to be so angry? I seem to recall that someone liked it very much."
Aina"s face turned entirely red and she looked like she just might choke-slam Leonel the moment she got the chance.
However, though she was serious, Leonel couldn"t help but look down at her reddened chest. As naked as he was, so was she. Watching those plump mounds ripple and rebound like that, he felt like he just might have to go for round two.
Leonel smiled and swept Aina into his arms.
"Don"t worry, I won"t tell anyone how much of a deviant my wife is. I"m a man of character, of morality, an upstanding citizen."
Aina rolled her eyes, but in the end, she couldn"t help but laugh. There was something funny about someone who had just stuck a thumb in her a.s.s talk about morality.
But she had a hard time reprimanding him for it either, because his display back then was probably even more embarra.s.sing than those days she couldn"t remember of their honeymoon.
She had always been quite sensitive, but this was also a bit ridiculous.
"Hehe, didn"t I tell you that-"
"Shut up or I"ll cut it off."
Leonel coughed, the last of his words being cut off before he could say anything.
"Yes, wife. Anything for you, wife."
"If it"s anything for me, then let"s do it again." Aina"s eyes sparkled, a mischievous light in them.
Leonel"s gaze sharpened as though he had just met a worthy adversary.
This wife of his always seemed to be on her last legs when they took things so far, but this time, just when he had thought that he had conquered her, she ended up chasing him down across the Segmented Cube"s World.
This time, it seemed that he would have to well and truly teach her a lesson. She had too much energy.

Of course, there was another reason that Aina was so embarra.s.sed by all of this, and that was because in that moment, she had broken through the final line of defense and finally comprehended what she needed to in order to complete her next Rebirth.
For it to take such a situation, and yet she couldn"t accomplish her own breakthrough on her own, she didn"t even know what to say.
However, this was a matter that she just might very well have to take to the grave. She couldn"t allow Leonel to have this information.
"For every finger you stick in there, I"m sticking two in you," Aina suddenly said.
Leonel was speechless. Didn"t she just say that she wanted to go again? It seemed that she wanted to keep things vanilla.
Inwardly, though, he chuckled.
Her mouth was saying one thing. Her soul was saying something completely different.
Round two began, and just when Aina was feeling disappointed thinking that Leonel really took her too literally, it came when she least expected it.
She completely forgot what happened afterward, her thoughts lost in a whirlwind. The changes in the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with them, when the reality of it all was that it was precisely because of them that things had reached this stage in the first place.
The G.o.d Realm seemed to implode with conflict.
