He slammed his fist into the ground—eyes wide, teeth clenched, shaking with more than just rage.
It wasn't just frustration anymore.
It was awakening.
Something ancient stirred inside him. Dormant. Deep.
His body began to pulse. A faint glow crept beneath his skin, trailing along his veins like molten lightning. The air thickened around him—buzzing, vibrating with unseen energy.
Leon wasn't angry anymore.
He was calm.
Focused.
Dangerous.
The ground trembled beneath him. The tree he was leaning on shuddered violently as if recoiling from the pressure rolling off his body.
He forced himself up—legs shaking, but his expression steady. His eyes burned with red energy, a surge of electrified aura wrapping around his arms. Sparks danced between his fingers.
He brought both fists together—
CRACK!
