Leon still had his [Darkness Barrier] active.
It was being continuously fueled by his [Embodiment of Darkness] sub-talent, which meant that even at only level 2, the barrier was absurdly strong.
At this stage, it was powerful enough to block nearly any attack that tried to pierce through it.
Because of that, Leon made a decision instantly. The moment he realized the [Blood Flames] would hit the [Blood Heart], he moved.
Fwoosh!
In a blink, Leon placed himself directly in front of the heart. The torrent of crimson flames slammed into him instead.
Anyone else who tried something like this would have either had their barrier shattered instantly or would have been burned alive by the overwhelming heat.
Even high-level players would hesitate before doing something so reckless.
His [Darkness Barrier] flared violently as it absorbed the impact.
Cracks spread across its surface, spiderwebbing outward under the pressure of the flames.
