(Within The Fourth Dimension, Leo's POV)
For Leo, fighting Kaelith felt strangely similar to fighting another version of himself, because at their core, both of them belonged to the exact same breed of warrior.
Both fought primarily using dual daggers.
Both inherited the same foundational combat philosophy from the Cult Of Ascension.
And both relied far more heavily on speed, precision, timing, and lethal efficiency rather than brute strength or overwhelming aggression to win battles.
Which was precisely why, the moment Leo decided this fight needed to end immediately, he also knew the exact approach he needed to take to have a maximum chance of success.
As if the roles were reversed, this method was precisely how he would plot to kill himself.
"Veyr," Leo muttered calmly, as he briefly glanced toward the Dragon beside him while another clash erupted across the battlefield.
"I think it's time we use the same strategy we used against Yu Kiro."
