As Akiro's last strike faltered, his body trembling from exhaustion and overexertion, the crowd fell into an eerie silence as they could barely comprehend what they were witnessing.
A whole A class esper couldn't even break the basic barrier of an S class?
Akiro's breath came in gasps while his shoulders heaved crazily, sweating matting his hair to his head.
The once awesome and menacing jagged bone weapons that had circled him moments before now lay scattered across the arena floor, cracked or crumbling under their own weight.
His gauntlets that had taken the lives of countless dark espers while on missions were now splintered and his arms were shaking from tiredness as he could barely lift them up in a boxing posture.
And as for Kaizer?
Well, Kaizer hadn't moved an inch the entire time, as he was still standing in the exact same position, his posture relaxed but not arrogant, calm but not mocking.
