[At the Cliff of Trial]

Victor's breath sharpened as the violent golden aura surrounding Leona crackled dangerously. The jagged ground beneath his feet trembled beneath the crushing weight of her energy.

Leona's golden eyes gleamed beneath the dark sky. The golden chains wrapped around her arms pulsed dangerously with radiant light.

"Victor."

"Fight me."

Victor's jaw tightened. His crimson gaze burned beneath the haze of golden light.

"I told you." His breath steadied. "I'm not fighting you."

Leona's golden aura pulsed violently. The golden chains ignited with burning light.

"Then die."

Suddenly—
