"The Bloody Ice Demon"

Leonard was done playing around. He activated his temporal cognition, unleashing its full potential. His ELEV flickered wildly. Sparks of electricity jumped across his body. 

Leonard's eyes shone like two full moons, icy and relentless.

"I know this bastard well enough by now to find an answer," Leonard thought, a thread of cruelty in his mind.

Less than a second. That's all it took for him to calculate the outcome. Before, he had used his power only to move; now, he visualized the end of the game.

Leonard sheathed both his swords, a gesture out of sync with the battle situation.

In a slow, almost theatrical movement, he crouched, his muscles coiling like springs. An explosive impulse, wood splinters flew from the platform, and Leonard became a blur.

Kaiser realized the danger too late; he tried to turn his body, but it was a futile effort.
