After walking a distance, Leo met up with Logan on the road, who couldn't help but stare blankly at him with a completely shocked expression.
"Are my eyes playing tricks on me or have you gotten more handsome?" He blurted as he was stunned. Leo shook his head and walked towards him. "Your eyes ain't lying dude." He confirmed for Logan as he patted his shoulder and walked past him. The guy was still shocked and he felt like touching Leo's face but he tried to control himself. "What happened man? You look… beautiful! Jeez, if I were gay, I'd marry you on the spot." Logan blurted. Leo's face contorted and gave Logan a disdainful look before his frown slowly turned into a smile. "You are so weird. Don't make my girlfriend hear you." Leo joked and they both laughed. "But seriously, you look really handsome today. What happened? You weren't this 'charming' yesterday." Logan questioned. Leo smirked. "I think it had something to do with"Hey Leo, my man… OMG, why the hell do you look so beautiful?!" Mason screamed, through the laptop. Leo set up a meeting between himself and his friends at Sunshine City. He wanted to use this to make up for the time lost when he was busy with his life. "Hey, Mason. What's up, bro?" Leo returned. Mason was still bewildered and didn't reply immediately. Not just him, Tracy and James were in the same situation. "Leo… what did you do to your face? Why are you so handsome… more than I am?" James yelled. Tracy was equally shocked and speechless. "Nothing. I just cultivated, that's all." Leo replied calmly, taking his eyes off the screen. The trio couldn't believe their ears. "Wait, you what!?" They all asked in unison. Leo smiled and shook his head before explaining to them. Logan had given his speculation to Leo and it made extreme sense. Since Phoenixes were also accustomed to beauty, Leo's breakthrough must've triggered some kind of ability that mad
Closing his eyes and concentrating, flames began to rise slowly from Leo's body. Surprisingly, they didn't burn his clothes, instead, they fused with them. Logan who was sitting in front of him felt a very warm sensation on his body. He felt slightly energized too and this greatly surprised him. What truly surprised him though, was Leo's look in front of him. "Wow. Is this the power of nirvana, the power of a Phoenix?" He muttered to himself. Leo was unaware of what Logan was saying. He didn't recite his mantra outside this time, but he kept thinking of it inside. He still heard that voice in his head. He chose to ignore it at first, however, curiosity got the better of him and he focused on the voice. To his surprise, the voice didn't disappear. Instead, it got even louder in his head, and his vision changed. Like a dream, he found himself in a strange place. Everything around was completely white and this was against his expectations. He felt like he was floating, as there was no
In a particular port filled with metal containers of different colours, two silhouettes were constantly clashing together at incredible speeds, and the strength of the two was no joke at all. Containers were constantly being destroyed and flipped over, so was the terrain. Leo wasn't getting any time to rest and he was trying to avoid getting hit by Eric, who possessed combat skills. He was constantly dodging his attacks and redirecting his punches from himself, but that wasn't all he was doing. Leo was also launching attacks of his own but Eric's body was too hard for him to do much damage. BANG! A punch landed on Leo, who blocked it with his arms and was sent flying. He hit a large, cargo container, causing it to get a dent as large as Leo's body. "Ouch. That hurts." Leo rubbed his already healing arms. The pain he felt was bad, but that was slowly passing. "It seems that Eric just has a metal body..." Logan analyzed to Leo through the comms, "And his streng
Leo... or should I say, the possessed Leo's intent to kill spread about the whole place, and Eric frowned badly. He held his daggers firmly, getting ready for any attack. Leo smiled and stared at Eric with burning eyes. "It seems like you humans don't know your place. But not to worry, I'll remind you of where you stand." Leo said and unsheathed his swords, "Prepare to be... DEVOURED!" he exclaimed before lunging himself towards Eric. He was so fast, a bullet would most likely lag if their speeds were to be compared. Eric's eyes were wide open and he quickly brought up his daggers to block the sword coming at him. CLANG! Both weapons clashed and a deafening sound went around the whole place. Eric quickly jumped back but he didn't let his guard down. Leo looked at him and smiled. "Hmm, you were able to withstand that. It seems humans have gotten stronger than ever." He commended. He suddenly squinted his eyes and stared at Eric's curved twin skull daggers and smiled,
When Logan urged Leo to get up, Leo used the will to return to his home and his friends... his only family left, to unlock something that remained locked inside his body. He stood upright and then, the lightning striking him no longer harmed him again. His body which was filled with bruises and holes was starting to heal, and webs of lightning moved around his body. However, the color of this lightning was orange. His eyes which were closed suddenly opened, and they were shining brightly, with branches of lightning emerging from the sides occasionally. All the lightning being shot at him was being absorbed and the woman shooting the lightning from the sky got tired so she landed. Leo held his sheathed swords and took a fighting stance. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. This stance he took, was something he saw in an anime. Since he possessed the same power, he wanted to try it out. "Thunder breathing, first form: Thunderclap and flash, Threefold![1]" He yelled and the lig
KRAKAKATOOOM! Like a bullet shot out of a gun, and a sound like the rumbling of thunder, Leo jumped into the sky with his swords in his grip, ready to launch a full attack on Selene. Selene also sped towards Leo without any restraints. BOOM! A large explosion occurred, as the two lightning users clashed. Shockwaves spread around, sending them both flying. Leo was sent flying back to the ground, while Selene was sent flying higher. To outsiders, all they would see was two lightning clashing against each other. Leo tumbled a few times on the ground before maintaining his balance. His flame beasts weren't idle either. The tiger went for Eric, while the dragon launched its attack on Gary. Leo's connection to flames was better than before, so he could control it with just a command and the beasts would work on their own. The only command he gave his two flaming beasts was to enable Eric and Gary unable to fight. The tiger ran towards Eric, who kept swinging his kusarigama a
Gary was completely stunned. He was clearly expecting death, but he got spared. The view of a giant dragon about to devour him was what broke his will the most. He felt completely powerless and overwhelmed in front of the dragon. "I... just got spared... by a god!?" he muttered to himself. The shirtless and brightly flaming Leo stood in front of Gary and stared at him with a serious face. His aura was overbearing, and a few people would've had the urge to bow to him. Selene and Eric ran to the scene and stood in front of Gary with a fighting stance, ready to defend him against Leo. "Are you alright? How do you feel..." she kept loading Gary with inquiries about his well-being. However, Gary was still staring at Leo with shock and admiration. Selene looked up at Leo and what she felt was confusion at first as to why he wasn't attacking. But then, she began to feel what Gary felt too. Leo looked at them for a while, before facing the direction where the General was. The General ha
In a black Range Rover, Leo laid down on the back seat while Dr. Cartel drove both him and Logan home. He was extremely exhausted, as that last attack and intimidation took a lot of his energy. He was fast asleep, and he even snored loudly. Dr. Cartel looked at Leo and smiled, "You've got a priceless friend here Logan." he said. Logan gave a relieved smile. He couldn't get the image of Leo killing a military General out of his head. "Good thing he's on our side." Logan sighed. The doctor nodded and faced the road ahead of him. He began to think of the consequences of Leo's actions. Killing a military General was one thing, declaring that all deals made be cut off was another. However, he couldn't blame the kid. He was wondering whether the military might cover for Leo. If Leo got exposed, things wouldn't turn out the way they should, and his life could take a drastic turn. Dr. Cartel wouldn't be spared either. Dr. Cartel parked the vehicle carefully in front of Leo's hou
