However, contrary to Izeal's expectations, there was no surprise attack. His first clash with Leon went without interruptions. But because he had reserved a bit of his attention and strength for retaliating against a surprise attack, he was not able to bring his full might against Leon.
BOOM!
A world shattering collision occurred, shaking the foundation of space around the two of them. Leon did not get pushed back, the boundless energy within his body surging out to meet the malevolent one that surged out of Izeal.
"Haha! A powerful body that will soon be mine!" Izeal bellowed as he reared back, his face distorting into that of a reptile's which breathed flames that were imbued with the power of Laws.
