Despair [2]

'Almost…'

Leon bit his lips while staring at the mysterious cadet in the distance. He was currently cornered, surrounded on all sides by the people in white.

….Leon could tell from a glance that the Archbishop planned on killing him, and thus, he hurried up.

It wasn't so much that he wanted to save the cadet since he still seemed to have a few lives left, but it was more about the fact that he wouldn't have much time following his death.

Closing his eyes, Leon focused his entire attention on his body and directed his focus toward his heart where the centipede was. 

The centipede coiled around his heart, its many legs digging in as it latched on tightly, blocking the passage of energy from his mana core situated at the center of his abdomen.
