Seeing the back of Zest, who looked like her older sister, Walnut knew that she had been saved; so she slowly closed her eyes again, and relaxed all her strength.

passed out.

"Oh? What are you doing?" Adomiles on horseback asked with a smile.

"The winner has already been decided." Zest told the truth softly.

Walnut's condition is no longer able to fight.

"I don't think so—since she hasn't surrendered, the fight must go on."

"Then I, as a representative of the Moderate Faction, will announce Miss Walnut's defeat, will that be all right?"

Zest replaced Walnut and surrendered to Adomiles who was joking.

"But according to the rules..."

While Adomiles still had something to say—

"Yes, I accept the moderates' surrender."

The voice of Cardinal Mardonis resounded in the battle space... The battle space was released at the same time, and the arena returned to its original state.Saving Walnut's life made Zester heave a sigh of relief, but...

"However—even if it was to save your companions, you still intervened in this duel before the outcome was decided. I cannot turn a blind eye to such arrogance that insults the noble spirit of a duel."

Amidst the echoing voices of the audience in the arena, Zester couldn't argue with a single word.

"It wasn't that girl named Nono Kurumi who committed the foul—it was you, Zest."

Mardonis said with a smile: "So from my point of view, it is most fair to sentence you to an automatic defeat due to a foul by the moderates in the fourth game you played... I wonder what you think?"

Zest bit her lip unwillingly.Even though he is full of dissatisfaction, his major violation is indeed a fact. Continuing to resist will only make his own position worse, and if he fails, it will put Walnut in danger again.

"I understand."

After Zester accepted the penalty of losing without a fight, there was another commotion in the arena.

Amid malicious cheers, Zester picked up Walnut and stepped off the ring; after entering the passage leading to the lounge, she saw a person standing in front of her.

That was Yuki, the fifth participant after Zest.Seeing her appear, Zest lowered her eyes and said, "I'm sorry...I can't help it."

Including Zest's non-defeat, the Moderate faction has lost three times in a row.Perhaps, Yuki, Mio, and other companions should be consulted before making a move.Although this battle takes the form of a one-on-one duel, in essence it is still a decisive battle between the two major forces in the demon world.Even if everyone agrees to do their best to go back safely together, but a duel is a matter of death at any time, and Hu Tao must have this awareness in his heart.

However, Zest couldn't hold back no matter what.Unable to bear the fact that he loved him like a younger sister, Hu Tao died in front of his eyes for nothing.

"How's the walnut?"

Hearing Huaxi's soft question, Zest held the walnut in her arms in front of her.I saw that Walnut was covered with bruises, but her breathing was still steady.

"She's fine... at least her life is not in danger."

"Thank you for saving Walnut."

"You're welcome……"

When Zester gave a short answer to Yuki who looked slightly relaxed——

Something fell out of Walnut's hand, and it rolled aside with a crisp sound on the slate floor.Taking a closer look, it is the button of the Shengban Academy uniform worn by Mu Hantian.

Why would Miss Nutnut have such a thing?

In front of Zest, who was full of such doubts, the button drew a circle and stopped moving.Yuxi squatted down instead of Zester who was holding the walnut in both hands, and reached out to pick it up—unexpectedly, before even touching it, the button turned into fine powder as if it couldn't maintain its shape.

Seeing this scene - Zest immediately understood everything.Why Walnut's performance was bleak and eclipsed, and what tricks the minions of the Cardinal Council used to her are all obvious.

"rat……!"

Gritting her teeth with irrepressible rage, Zest turned around...to the ring, and took steps in the same direction to correct Adomiles' dirty behavior—but couldn't step out.Zest didn't stop voluntarily.A hand gently pressed her right shoulder, as if trying to hold her.Generally speaking—her anger will never be extinguished by this level of restraint, and it is easy to get rid of it.

But - Zest couldn't do it.Because the aura from the girl who was standing beside her with a light hand on her right shoulder was so cold that it almost froze her.

The beloved younger sister, who attached great importance to Mu Hantian and Jiesite and other companions, was exploited and trampled to pieces.

The unforgivable anger instantly transformed into an absolute zero cold murderous aura.

"I'll leave it to you, Walnut. I'm sure he will come back soon."

Yuxi stared at the other end of the dark passage—the arena of the decisive battle. After saying this lightly, he left Zest holding the walnut and walked forward slowly.

The first thousand and eighteenth chapter decides the outcome of the battle

It is located at the highest point of the ancient arena, in a special viewing room overlooking the arena.

Adomiles came here and reported that he had lived up to expectations and won the victory; the members of the Cardinal Council smiled at him and applauded him repeatedly.

"Oh, it's really nice to win... As expected of the number one confidant of His Excellency Madonis."

"That's right. Not only won the first victory, but also let the opponent in the next battle also lose the foul according to the plan. It's really a skill."

Everyone praised his subordinate Adomiles in front of the master Mardonis.

"It's a great honor for Adomiles to receive the love of all the adults. Since that girl will definitely lose, I just think about it and find a way to win that the adults will be happier."

Adomiles, who received all the praise, smiled and said: "It's so cute to take advantage of the absence of Xun Dongcheng's son and say that we took him as a hostage, and she was so scared that she obeyed."

"In order to lure the opponent to 'intervene' in the foul, so that they lose without a fight, I can't kill that girl, which makes me feel a little sorry...Since the victory is ours in the end, I really want to kill that desperate girl with my own hands. .”

Adomiles said this to the other members of the Council of Cardinals, and walked slowly to his master, Mardonis.
