Leon appeared just outside the mansion's grand entrance.
The wind was cool against his skin, a sharp contrast to the heated, humid atmosphere he had just escaped. The Ascension Tower loomed nearby, its familiar silhouette grounding him after the disorienting hours he had just spent. He took a long breath, steadying himself.
The experience of giving Xyra the reward she had wanted—which had just ended—he could say, was a once-in-a-lifetime thing for him. Yep. It was so crazy and unpredictable that his mind was still struggling to process it all. He could only sigh in relief as he had come out of that unscathed despite the sacrifice he had to make.
Five rounds. Five fucking rounds.
