(Time-Stilled World, Outside Castle Bravo Walls, Leo's POV)
Over the next 24 hours, Leo seriously contemplated whether attempting this mission was even worth risking his life over or not?
For although he wasn't the type of man to cower in the face of danger… This mission was still something else.
There came a point, he believed, where every warrior had to ask themselves whether the reward truly justified the risk, and whether there was any chance of success at all? Or whether they were being delusional and chasing rainbows that did not exist.
As for the first time in a very long while, Leo did not feel confident in the answer.
He'd watched, waited, and noted everything down in agonizing detail from his perch, and while there were moments where the castle seemed silent and passive, it was impossible for him to forget, how one Transcendent tier spectre that was much stronger than him, was completely erased from existence with a single attack from the silver armored guard.
