Leon's Death - Part 1

"What's happening to me? Why is my heart beating so fast?" Liliana wondered silently, her brow slightly furrowed.

She clutched her left chest, feeling a tightness she couldn't explain.

It felt like a bad premonition—as if something terrible had happened to Leon.

Then, her eyes shifted to her right chest, and in an instant, her face turned pale.

The Demon Mark—the bond that connected her to Leon—had vanished completely.

"No... how is this possible?" she gasped, rising to her feet in horror.

Her body froze as fear spread like wildfire through her veins. The Demon Mark wasn't just any connection—it was a sacred and exclusive link that tied her soul to Leon's.

Through it, she could sense his condition without needing to see him in person.

Even when Leon ventured into the Holy Empire of Elysium to overthrow Velix or stood on the battlefield facing countless dangers, the mark had remained steady.
