Shibazorak stepped forward.
Leona tightened her grip around Snow Fang.
She couldn't retreat anymore.
If she kept giving ground, he'd corner her.
She needed to move forward.
She needed to find an opening.
Otherwise...
The next punch might end the fight.
Shibazorak suddenly smiled.
"Not bad."
He raised his fist.
"Get stronger. Maybe next time we meet, it'll be more interesting."
Qi gathered around his fist.
He wasn't planning to kill her.
He was simply going to hit her hard enough to knock her unconscious.
That was when—
Thud.
Something touched his back.
Shibazorak paused.
His expression didn't change.
He didn't look behind him.
The opponent in front of him was more interesting.
Besides, whoever had touched him clearly wasn't attacking.
Probably some insignificant bystander.
Then—
"...Hmm?"
A strange sensation spread through the air above him.
Shibazorak's eyes shifted upward.
A gigantic object was suddenly forming overhead.
"Grow."
His eyes widened.
