The chapel's atmosphere crackled with tension as the blood needles, sharpened to deadly precision, shot violently toward Balmon's last known location. However, just as the crimson projectiles were about to converge upon their target, an unsettling realization dawned upon Leo and the onlooking Totem Masters. Balmon had vanished, leaving an empty space where he once stood.
Leo's eyes narrowed with keen insight as he surveyed the shattered ground, knowing that Balmon had escaped before the blood needles could reach him. The force of their impact shattered the stonework beneath, leaving a chaotic mess in their wake. The enigmatic adversary had moved with incredible speed, and Leo was now certain that Balmon had gone airborne.
