"U..ghh"

Crackle-

-Thud!

Leon activated his stigma for a few seconds and pushed the rubble, on top of him, away.

"Cough..cough"

His body screamed in pain but without minding his condition he checked Isabell.

"Cough…are you..cough..okay?"

"Yes"

Isabell looked at Leon through her night vision goggles.

He was shaking when doing even the smallest movement from pain. Blood covered his head and he was coughing with every breath.

Compared to his battered figure Isabell was almost unharmed.

Leon had covered her at the last second and took the brunt of the damage from the falling debris.

"How did you know about the explosions?"

"I was..cough..able to sense the spike of mana earlier."

Leon covered his mouth, only to notice that he was coughing blood.

Silence and chaos existed all around them.

The explosion occurred at 4 places at the stadium, one of which was the top-16 seating area.
