The cobra demon appeared before Leonel in the blink of an eye. The smoldering fire within the latter's eyes as sharp as blades.
Leonel took a step to the side, dodging out of the way of the blade.
He felt like he could finally see again. The slush his mind had been wading through was nowhere in sight. No… It was still there, it was just far less capable of affecting him any longer. He could finally think like himself, finally calculate like himself, finally make the world dance in the palm of his hand like himself.
A spear appeared in his hand as the scythe sliced down a mere inch from his nose.
He didn't have the strength to manifest his panda construct. His body was too weak to summon his Bronze Runes. He couldn't summon his Stars, the pressure he had put on his mind previously to save Aina was far too much, and it only became worse after his soul separated from his body and lost its support.
