The battlefield was a scarred wasteland, blood staining the earth and ash drifting in the air like a somber snowfall. Leo stood amidst the chaos, his expression unreadable, his crimson eyes glowing faintly in the fading light. The shattered remains of the **World Eater** lay behind him, its massive form dissolving into nothingness.
He turned his gaze to Ralph, who stood a short distance away, his confident smirk gone, replaced by a mix of frustration and unease.
Leo's voice cut through the silence like a blade, cold and deliberate.
"I think it's time to end this," he said, his tone sending a shiver through Ralph.
Ralph flinched but quickly composed himself, trying to mask his unease. "You talk big, but you're barely standing. What could you possibly do now?"
Leo tilted his head, a faint smirk playing at his lips. "Up until now, I've been playing helpless, letting you show me the full extent of your power. But I suppose it was pointless."
