Enlightenment.
In the many fictional works that Leo read, it was a concept closer to a plot device rendered at the protagonist's disposal.
Whenever time was running out, or a life-and-death battle ensued, a common protagonist would instantly achieve a higher level of power; sometimes it even came paired with the similarly common plot device known as flashbacks.
However, Leo's current situation strayed far away from the common path of a protagonist.
While it was true that this had been a life-and-death battle a few minutes ago, after the consequential line-up of effort and fate, the entire concept of the battle changed.
This was a battle that Leo knew he could win, so urgency couldn't possibly have been the trigger.
In fact, even when Leo was on the verge of despair earlier, that sense of urgency didn't help either.
If anything, this very unexpected development could be said to have been brought about in reverse.
'It was meant to happen.'
