(40 days before the fight, Leo's POV)
*SHING*
*SHING*
*Skiddd*
The sharp clash of steel echoed through the training chamber as Leo sparred with Dumpy for the first time in what felt like ages.
The Ancient Swamp Frog, having finally broken free from the three prisons Charles had ordered him to escape before he could reunite with Leo, was visibly agitated, his eyes brimming with tears from their long separation.
However, even so, he threw himself into the spar with full intensity, determined to help prepare his Lord Father for the upcoming battle with Veyr in forty days, as he refused to hold anything back.
Like Veyr, Dumpy too was a Transcendent Tier warrior, making him a reliable benchmark for the kind of pressure Leo could expect in the real fight.
However, while both Dumpy and Veyr were Transcendent Tier warriors, their fighting styles were sure to be extremely different.
