Everyone in the arena stood frozen in stupefaction.
They were jolted awake only by Nathalie, who was able to snap out of her stupor a second earlier.
"I-It's over, folks!! Just like that, the promised battle had concluded. Cody Han, after a fiery showing in the Round of 16, bows out of the competition at the hands of his friend and rival! Daru Finnley remains too tall and tough a wall to topple for the A-ranker!"
With how Cody Han almost incinerated the soul of the Petrov Family's heir out of existence, they thought he "should" be the one to put a stop to the F-ranker's fairy tale run in the tournament.
After all, even before he used his sword's dangerous Innate Sword Skill, he had already proven that he could easily go toe to toe with Lucas.
Perhaps if it had been him who went against Alopecion, the S-ranker would've been booted out of the competition already.
So…what was this?!
How was he defeated in seconds?! His loss was so thorough that it seemed inevitable.
