"Tssk…"
The thunder gradually faded away, letting the lightning surrounding the standing Reiger fade away as well.
"Bang!"
Like shattering glass, the sword Reiger had just sheathed suddenly shattered, causing him to stare at the fallen blade pieces on the ground before he finally turned to look behind him.
There, Liz sat collapsed on the ground in a squatting position, her chest heaving slightly, her hands empty as she stared at the sword that had fallen not far away, her face showing confusion.
Clearly, Liz had not yet grasped what had happened.
"It seems the outcome has been decided."
In the distance, Marilyn, who was protecting Yuri, lowered her hand and announced the result.
Yuri also imperceptibly sighed in relief, glanced at the sword that Reiger had knocked away, feeling something was amiss, then walked forward.
Ai En, Ian, and the others, seeing the courtyard littered with sword and knife marks, were left speechless.
