For a brief moment, Amaka stood where she was with her eyes still wide open in shock, when she suddenly saw Bernard collapse on the ground, while bleeding from his orifice this eventful was meaningful for two reasons the first was how Bernard to be precise Blood_Of_Damocles suddenly became so fast that she thought he had simply teleported right behind her.
The second was at that moment he appeared behind her out of nowhere for the first time in her life she had felt fear, this was the type of fear she had never felt before it was as if she was truly going to die when her health bar was brought down to more than half.
She couldn't help but turn to look at him, she felt a bit conflicted when she saw him bleeding that way, she could see his health bar was just remaining 40% and he could no longer move for some reason, all that it would take for her to win this match was just for her to deliver a finishing attack.
Yet for some reason, she didn't want to normally she would have been feeling happy when she defeated her opponent but she wasn't, she couldn't help but thought was she the one who truly killed? Or was he the one who killed himself instead? this thought kept ringing inside her mind as she stood there watching him bleed like he could die at any moment.
"Please, Kill me."
While she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a voice that startled her back into reality when she raised her head she could see Blood_Of_Damcoles was still lying on the ground, but on his expression, she could he had a smile, making her surprised and confused at the same time, she didn't understand why he was smiling or why he even told her to kill him considering his own health bar was even a bit higher than her own.
Bernard lay on the ground, he was breathing heavily and he could no longer move not even his limbs, it was simply because he had used Dash even though it was only once he had already lost more than 14 energy points at that point, so it was no use in saving it anymore prompting him to push his body way beyond its limits.
However, the result of pushing himself beyond his limit was out of his expectation since at this moment he was bleeding from his orifice and felt like he was dying, but then he knew if he didn't die inside the game his mind wouldn't be able to return to his body in the main world, so he simply opened his mouth and said something with a smile on his face.
"A-angel kill me."
Amaka who was still staring at him, wondering if she was just hearing things couldn't help but look at him with a deep look on her expression it was like she was trying to see through him and read his mind, yet all that she could see was a dying person bleeding from his orifice with six eyes nothing more, except the smile which had no ulterior motive, just innocent and simple.
Just as she was contemplating whether to kill him or not, that was when she saw him began to cough out even more blood with the pure innocent smile still lingering on his face clearly begging her for death, as she saw this she steel her resolve and walk towards him.
"Blood_Of_Damocles, if it's fate let's meet next time, "Konan looked at him as a beautiful smile bloomed on her expression, however, there was a little solemness deep in her voice, and she suddenly raised her hands making them shatter into many pieces of white paper then the next moment they stabbed him right in his chest, with this the match between her and Blood_Of_Damocles finally came to an end.
Although she had won the match fair and square, Konan instead had no smile on her expression even though she wanted to feel happy that she had won the match she wasn't instead she felt a bit down, for some reason her mind kept telling her if he hadn't collapse he would have been the winner of the fight.
Even though the match had ended she still didn't leave immediately and kept waiting, she didn't know why she was waiting maybe it was because the match had let a very deep impression on her or because she was hoping for her to fight him again, nevertheless she still stood at the same spot for thirty minutes.
'Blood_Of_Damocles, who truly are you? Why did you suddenly collapse just before you could claim your victory? Are you a student or just someone I met by coincidence, if you are a student will you attend the military tournament?'She stood where she was, and looked at the place where she had just delivered the final blow, at this moment there were many thoughts in her head that she wanted answers to badly.
Bernard was eventually logged out of Rebirth, the moment he opened his eyes he couldn't help but take in a deep breath and heave out not only was the time he rented the VR capsule from the AI lady over his energy points was also zero, so he simply could no longer participate in any match even if he wanted to.
He couldn't help but remember the scene of his last match, although he had lost nevertheless he was still satisfied, not only was he happy he had also gained a lot during his fight with the girl.
As he reminisce on the fight, he began to point out facts that were extremely noticeable, his ability Blood bending wasn't able to work on her not because it wasn't strong enough but because she could counter it by turning herself into those pieces of papers, even though it seemed like Meow Meow Cat Strike wasn't strong enough it was in fact the opposite especially when he shouted out the name of it, the only reason Meow Meow Cat Strike couldn't work was that he simply wasn't fast enough.
However, there was one skill that could bridge that gap in strength between them, Dash. Although Dash couldn't increase his strength or power of his attack, but it could definitely give him enough speed to outrun his opponent, not just that he hadn't seen any opponent that could outrun Dash yet, and even if there was, there wouldn't be many. It was a skill that would always be useful, even if he had over 100 agility points, the perfect counter to those with abilities to transform or hardened themselves, he had understood this when he fought her.
