*Bang!*
A burst of holy power erupted from Leon's body as he shot upward, twisting midair to the side.
*Boom!*
Seconds later, the bed he and Zelda had been lying on exploded into pieces. Shards of wood flew in every direction, while dust and thick smoke engulfed the room.
"Ahem!"
Leon landed a few meters away, coughing hard. His eyes fixed on the swirling smoke, his face twisted in shock.
"What just happened? Who attacked me?" he wondered.
Moments ago, just as he was about to fall asleep, a sudden surge of danger washed over him.
Thankfully, his survival instincts had kicked in just in time.
"No… Zelda's still in there!"
His heart clenched. In the chaos, he had completely forgotten she was lying beside him.
Panic and guilt flooded through him as he scrambled toward the shattered bed to check on her.
"If she's hurt, I'll never forgive myself."
Just as he was about to reach her, a sharp pain stabbed through his chest.
