Meanwhile…
Leon's vision had gone completely dark the exact moment the vine sliced through his body.
For a brief instant, there had been absolutely nothing.
Not even the feeling of time passing. It was as if the world itself had simply disappeared.
Then, slowly, his awareness returned.
'Damn… I actually died…'
Leon quickly understood what had happened.
The memory of the vine cutting through him replayed clearly in his mind, and he could still remember the terrifying speed of the attack that had pierced through his [Darkness Barrier] as if it didn't exist.
He had made a mistake.
Even though he reacted quickly and tried to defend himself, the [Will of Nature] was simply far stronger than he had anticipated.
Still… If the same situation happened again…
Leon knew without a single doubt that he would make the exact same decision.
He would push Celeste out of the way. Every single time.
