"VORTIGERN!"
Marigold launched three explosive arrows at Romero, who easily dodged them.
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
Despite the futility of her anger, Marigold kept shooting.
"You're really cute when you get so angry," Romero said, grinning.
"Why? Why did you do this? Why did you betray me?"
"Ah, my sweet, sweet Marigold. It pains me to have to part with you, but this tournament is mine to win."
"So you've decided to kill off the competition?"
"Of course. I'm the king of this Abyssal Tower. A lot of powerful tournament challengers try to train here, but they all die tragic deaths for unknown reasons."
Romero let out a self-indulgent laugh.
"What about Kishott? How are you the king of the tower if she surpassed you?"
"Fortunately for me, she doesn't train here anymore."
"You shouldn't be able to kill people when everyone is given a Teleportation-Guts rune."
