Gaze

Lamorak's expression changed. 

He didn't know what Soul Force was, it was a completely foreign concept to him. He had no idea that what Leonel called Soul Force was the very same Spirit Pressure he had known all his life. 

This had been deliberate on Leonel's part. Without understanding what was going on, Lamorak only became more hesitant, allowing Leonel a few extra precious seconds. To the current Leonel, every single one of these moments mattered. 

Still… it was just for a few seconds. 

Lamorak wasn't a fool. He knew whatever was happening now would inevitably help Leonel even if he didn't know what Soul Force was. If he kept hesitating because of the unknown, the role of predator and prey might flip right before his eyes. 

Ultimately, he was a veteran general of countless battles. The one thing he didn't lack was decisiveness. 

Without hesitation, a fiery red and dense Force shot up around him like flickering flames.
