Victor disappeared from the branch.
There was no preparation.
There was no energy explosion.
There was no visible sign indicating his movement.
One instant he was observing the swamp from a distance. The next, he had already traversed hundreds of meters using the Mist Steps. The Blood Demon Camouflage remained active until the last possible moment, completely concealing his approach as he advanced directly towards the center of that destroyed territory.
This time he wasn't interested in observing.
Nor in analyzing.
Nor in launching ranged attacks.
He wanted to test something.
More specifically, he wanted to test Leon.
The man had survived the previous attack.
Completely regenerated.
And, most importantly, he didn't seem scared.
Just cautious.
Victor liked that.
It was rare to find someone capable of remaining functional after losing half their body.
