When James avoided the attack, he put Clarent in his inventory to try a new type of attack and then took out a pair of knives.
Seeing the knife, Leon was surprised and then said, "I thought your main weapon was a sword, sir."
Hearing this, James said, "Let's just say I'm trying to figure out what the best weapon is against large-sized warriors, and since you are a fast man, I think the knife will help me, we won't know until we try."
After James' words, the aura around the arena began to change, Leon's aura seemed to weaken, or rather his aura seemed to be swallowed by James' aura.
The arena was once again engulfed in flames, James looked around and realised that this time he was more lucid, he had been in a trance at first when the way his aura worked changed.
With that, James flexed his body to take action and then lunged forward, saying "I'm coming Leon."
