As the dust settled and the echoes of the battle subsided, Lara slowly managed to rise to her feet. Her body ached from the jarring impact with the stone steps, but her gaze was fixed on Leo, who stood before her, breathing heavily. It was a testament to the ferocity of the battle they had just endured.
Steam emanated from Leo's body, a visible testament to the intense heat he had generated during the confrontation. His temperature must have soared to remarkable heights as he channeled the power of his totem and engaged in the battle of a lifetime. Despite the exhaustion etched on his face, Leo's eyes still blazed with determination and triumph.
Hellion, on the other hand, had reverted to its small, adorable form. It yawned cutely while perched on Leo's shoulder, seemingly unfazed by the intense battle it had just been a part of. Its fluffy appearance contrasted with the fierce power it had unleashed moments ago.
