The pressure was intense.
Strong enough to make everyone stop as a large silhouette slowly emerged through the storm, its massive frame towering over us in every sense, barely visible through the swirling sand and wind.
Swooooosh—!
It's first shot down in the direction of the others.
"Careful...!"
I wanted to reach them, but the distance was a little too far for me to cover. To make matters worse, because it was a monster, my Emotive Magic wasn't as effective.
But thankfully, a figure blurred right before the incoming attack.
Holding tightly onto his sword, Leon's entire body radiated a powerful pressure as his eyes turned an even deeper shade of black. He slashed forward with all his might.
SHIIING!
His sword came into contact with the fist head-on.
But—
"Akhh...!"
The fist completely avoided Leon's sword, phasing right through it before striking him cleanly and sending him crashing back against the sand.
Thump!
"Leon!"
"...Shit, Leon!"
