As Khyaal's massive sword came crashing down toward Leo, he was convinced the fight was over.
And by all logical means, it should have been.
Leo was battered, bleeding, and barely holding himself together. There was no possible way he could mount a defense strong enough to stop the sheer force of the attack, as victory felt all but assured.
However, that's where Khyaal made his mistake of underestimating Leo Skyshard.
From the very beginning, Leo knew that if there was one move Khyaal hadn't accounted for—one trick that had remained completely hidden from his spying—it was [Full Counter].
And it wasn't a baseless assumption.
Unlike his other skills, [Full Counter] wasn't something he could practice out in the open, as to use it, he needed to be attacked first—and during all his solo training, that never happened.
Which meant…
Khyaal had no way of knowing it existed.
It was Leo's hidden ace. His trump card.
