Was Noah trying to say that he couldn't use Force?
Honestly, while the group was running, Leonel had noted that they hadn't used Force. Although Myghell had lost the Speed Branch after stepping past the Snowy Star Owl Lineage Factor, Noah definitely still had it. It didn't make sense that he wouldn't try to multiply his speed as he ran.
Leonel had thought that it was related to the chains wrapped around their bodies. After all, Earth had had Force blocking methods, so even though Leonel hadn't run into such a thing at higher Dimensions, that didn't mean that they didn't exist, maybe he had just been lucky to not stumble into such a thing.
However, while Leonel had been destroying their bindings, other than the strength and power of the ores used to forge them, he didn't sense anything else about the chains.
If they had been designed to block Force, they would have resisted his Scarlet Star Force a lot more and a lot better as well.
