The speed at which the figure moved was far from normal. It attacked immediately.
SLASH!
A massive dark blade swung directly toward Leon's neck, cutting through the air with enough force to create a sharp, whistling sound, clearly aimed to kill him in a single strike before he even had the chance to react.
To most players, it would have been too fast. But Leon's eyes remained calm. Focused.
At the very last moment, he shifted his body to the side with precise timing, the blade barely missing him as it passed through the space where his head had been just an instant earlier.
The attack failed. But the force behind it didn't go unnoticed.
Leon's feet slid slightly across the ground as he stabilized himself, his body already turning even before the attacker could follow up, his gaze locking onto the source of the strike without delay.
And what he saw made him frown slightly.
