Conclusion

"I am no coward… I cower before no one," Anos spoke through gritted teeth, his voice strained and his stance trembling with effort.

Blood streamed from his wounds in a steady flow, his posture seemed unsteady, and his once-dominant presence now seemed to be fading into exhaustion.

At first, Leo assumed that Anos was tilting sideways to protect his injured arm, his stance shifting into a defensive posture and his body trying to compensate for the damage.

But as Anos continued to speak, his eyes locked onto an empty space where Leo wasn't even standing, and his words seemed to be aimed at a phantom opponent.

It was only then that Leo understood what had really happened.

The fall damage had rattled his brain and the Demon King's equilibrium was shattered, his vision was splitting, and his perception of reality was distorted beyond repair.
