*Boom!*
Dark power erupted from Barbarossa's body, accompanied by a powerful shockwave that rippled in all directions.
Leon stood calmly as the blast struck him. He didn't budge—not even an inch—as if the shockwave had no effect on him at all.
"The Fated One, die!" Barbarossa roared.
*Whoosh!*
He launched himself toward Leon, palm open, revealing a black hammer cloaked in a dark aura. With a savage motion, he swung it at Leon's head.
The attack was blindingly fast—far too fast to dodge. But it made sense. Empowered by dark power, his strength had increased many times over.
However, to Leon's Eyes of Chaos, that speed was nothing special. In his eyes, it looked… slow.
Just before the hammer could land, Leon's body suddenly swapped places with a humanoid statue thirty meters away.
*Boom!*
The statue crumbled to dust. The floor beneath it split apart, then erupted in a powerful blast that carved a two-meter-deep crater.
