The colossal creature sprang forward, its massive head hurtling towards Leo's outstretched fist with terrifying speed. The impact of their collision sent shockwaves rippling through the forest, causing trees to sway and leaves to scatter in all directions.
Despite the sheer force of the basilisk's attack, Leo stood his ground, his gauntlets absorbing the brunt of the impact. Damnation crackled with dark energy, and Leo's muscles strained as he pushed back against the relentless force of the creature.
For a brief moment, the two forces were locked in a deadly struggle, each pushing against the other with unwavering determination. Leo's eyes met the basilisk's malevolent gaze, and he could sense the creature's desire to overpower him.
