Leon's face stiffened even more than what it usually did as he beheld the floor boss. Was this something they were supposed to fight against? And how?
He quickly shook his head. He had beat Dibella even when she straddled the line that separated C and B rank. He had beat the other floor bosses when they were also at the very peak of B rank, with some even straddling the line between B and A rank. Surely, all of that was preparation for this.
Jet had told him a bit about the Tower of Trials on their journey up here. Lives were lost, yes. But the last boss had always been defeated. He was confident in the strength he possessed, so he should be able to stand a chance against this boss.
"You!" The boss spoke and stretched out its hand. The black flame around it flowed into its open palm, taking the form of a staff that it pointed right and Leon. "You and I will fight. None of the others matter." It declared.
