The blade continued to press over my neck.
Everything happened so fast that I hardly had the time to react. But I was quick to snap out of it as I stared at the figure standing before me.
I recognized him with a glance. How could I not when he was one of the highest ranked Paragon's participating in the Congress, and the person who ranked right after me during the First Trial?
"Are you not speaking?"
"...That's not it."
The words flowed out of my mouth with unexpected ease.
"I'm just trying to process why you put your sword over to my neck."
"Didn't I say why?"
Leon smiled, staring at the fog around us. After which, he returned his attention to me as his eyes gleamed.
"I felt a strange connection between the fog and you. Hmm. Wait..." He suddenly frowned, looking around. "How strange. I no longer feel that connection, but I'm almost certain that I did feel it."
My heart sank.
