Chapter 55 - The Battle of Beasts – Leonhardt vs. Rael
◇◇◇
[Valtara Fortress – Outer Courtyard]
The ground trembled.
A golden explosion tore through the prison walls, sending debris flying in every direction.
Soldiers screamed as a massive figure emerged from the dust.
Rael Ascarion stood tall, his golden armor restored, his eyes burning with divine fury.
Behind him, his Sacred Griffin spread its wings—now fully evolved, wreathed in divine flames.
Leonhardt stepped onto the fortress balcony, his crimson eyes narrowing.
Celestia smirked beside him. "Oh my~ The little hero still has some fight left?"
Leonhardt scoffed. "Tch. Annoying."
Evelyn trembled, clutching her chest. "R-Rael...?"
Rael's golden eyes locked onto her.
"EVELYN!!" His voice echoed across the battlefield.
She flinched.
His voice—was filled with rage.
"I WILL SAVE YOU!!" Rael roared. "EVEN IF I HAVE TO KILL THAT MONSTER!!"
Leonhardt's lips curled.

"Kill me?" he chuckled darkly.
Celestia giggled. "Darling~ He thinks he can kill you~"
Leonhardt smirked. "Fine. Let's entertain him."
With a snap of his fingers—Ironhorn, the Indomitable Rhino, emerged beside him.
A monstrous, black-armored beast, its massive horn gleaming with violet energy.
Rael's Griffin screeched.
Ironhorn snorted.
The air grew heavy.
Two powerful beasts.
Two powerful masters.
A final battle was about to begin.
