As she closed in on him, Lucas felt an intense pain run through his leg. It was the same one that he broke during the first match. He tried to stop her, but he couldn't. Malice easily knocked him down and attacked Lucas. She slashed at his chest, but Lucas managed to block her attack.
"That's cheating," Malice smiled. "You're going to pay for that!"
Lucas tried to stand up, but he felt dizzy. His body was heavy as he slowly stood up.
"Not yet," Malice mumbled and ran towards Lucas, swinging her sword.
Lucas tried to block her attack, but he failed. He fell backwards, and she landed on top of him, "the dying protagonist, how fun..." She chuckled.

Lucas struggled, but Malice kept pushing him down. He wasn't able to lift himself up. She was too strong for him.
"You're done," Malice sighed.
'Protagonist?' A quick thought went through Lucas's mind, 'I've never told her I was the protagonist, how would she know?'
