Though they refused to believe that their deity and pillar of support had fallen, Jacob's presence which exuded the power of an immortal, compelled them to accept the truth.
"All hail, Your Holiness!" Suddenly, a voice called through the crowd. That person was Kazuki, the man who had betrayed Jacob by leaking his information to Mamoru.

However, Kazuki's voice rang out alone. Nobody else's joined in. Though Jacob had slain Koushiro, it was going to take time for the martial arts world in Kitakyushu to accept the fact.
