(Planet Ilyon Reach, Leo's POV)
It took Leo another twenty four hours to reach Ilyon Reach from Omega, however, the moment he arrived, the situation unfolded with far more convenience than he expected, as the planet's Monarch came out to confront him in under two minutes, saving him the trouble of hunting for the strongest defender later.
Du Cairo of the Du Clan stood before him, saber raised, aura sharp, eyes steady with the kind of confidence only a lifetime of victories could forge.
Yet while formidable, he was still no match for Leo, who cut him down in under a hundred moves, his daggers slipping past the Monarch's final guard as naturally as drawing breath.
*Thud*
Once Du Cairo died, the planet began collapsing in on itself.
The chain of command broke instantly, as every surviving officer tried to seize control at the same time, their overlapping orders turning the three major continental clusters into fields of confusion long before Leo even reached them.
