Leon, however, remained unfazed. He let out a small chuckle, shaking his head. "You're treating space like a cage—locking it, restricting it. That's where you fail." He lifted his hand, and in an instant, the chains shattered like glass.
Velkar's eyes widened. What?!
Leon stepped forward, his presence alone bending space effortlessly. "You see… for me, space isn't something to be 'manipulated.'" He raised his hand again, and Velkar felt his body being pulled, his footing vanishing as if gravity itself had abandoned him.
Leon's voice was calm but absolute. "Space is something that moves according to my will."
With a flick of his fingers, Velkar was sent flying backward, his control over space completely overridden. He barely managed to regain his footing before Leon appeared right in front of him, a smirk on his face.
"Your turn," Leon said, cracking his knuckles.
