*Whoosh… Boom!*
Guren's body was hurled through the air before crashing violently into the ground.
"Ahem! Ahem!" He coughed repeatedly, clutching his aching chest.
His handsome face turned slightly pale, and blood trickled from the corners of his lips.
*Buzz!*
The Hero's Destiny mark on his forehead glowed brightly, surrounding his body in radiant light. Slowly, the intense pain began to fade as his wounds started to heal.
He rose to his feet and shot a cold glare at Leon, who hovered in the sky. A fierce white light burned in his eyes as he stretched out his right hand.
*Buzz!*
A black sword materialized in his grip. Its long blade was etched with strange red patterns, making it look ominous and deadly.
The air grew heavier with its presence, and the atmosphere turned tense.
Leon's eyes narrowed when he saw the sword—not out of fear, but because he could sense the overwhelming dark energy radiating from it.
