Boom!
The impact of his fall reverberated through Leo's body, his knee hitting the ground with a resounding thud. Doubt threatened to consume him, but in that critical moment, a furious voice erupted in his head, drowning out the encroaching fear.
[Don't flatter! The moment you even imagine yourself losing, the battle is already lost. Only egoists can rule this world, so stand tall!] the voice boomed, resonating within Leo's very being. It washed away the tendrils of doubt that had begun to wrap around his mind, replacing them with a burning resolve.
Leo's eyes flashed a menacing red, his body trembling with anger. The veins beneath his skin pulsed with a brilliant red light.
