How Is This Thing Getting Stronger?

Leo watched a ten-foot-tall devil appear in front of him while holding a massive axe, and the power radiating off the being matched his strength. When he felt this, his blue eyes shone with excitement, ''Finally. Someone who can give me a good fight,'' he exclaimed.

The enemy gave no response, only a blur of motion as it dashed forward with shocking speed. Leo barely had time to react before the axe came crashing down. He raised his arms in defense just as the weapon struck.

It sent him skidding backward, his feet tearing through the earth. ''Well, that hurt, but it's good to feel pain after weeks of fighting,'' he said before charging at the devil.

They started trading blows as Leo landed dozens of California Smashes that destroyed the enemy's armor. Moments later, the devil got angry and managed to land a powerful punch that sent him flying.
