"Ah, but you don't have to worry about me, Leon. I feel that I am very close to forming my Sword Intent; it's just that I am lacking an impetus for the final push," Aria explained after Leon inquired further into her progress.
"I see. If you say so, Aria." Leon eventually nodded and did not pry further.
The lacking impetus she mentioned most likely referred to a life and death battle; more often than not, some insights can only be obtained by battling one's life on the line.
"How long did it take you to complete your Transcendence when you were breaking through to the Preliminary Accession stage, Aria?" Leon suddenly asked while glancing at the spatial storm.
"I'm not sure exactly; my perception of time flowed differently during my Transcendence," Aria furrowed her brows to recall the event before saying, "But I think it took at least a whole day."
"A whole day, huh?" Leon muttered.
