Chapter 129: Titanium Division 2
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.
His eyes weren’t even on Akiro, they were still fixed somewhere in the air, clearly distracted by internal calculations about future battles. It was as if this fight were his foe whaled on him with all of his best attacks hadn’t even registered in his subconscious.
Lysandra, still on the commentary platform, slowly brought her microphone to her lips to pass some comical comments to lighten things up, but paused when Akiro suddenly dropped to his knees.
"I... can’t win this," Akiro muttered weakly, his voice hoarse.
A few in the crowd gasped in shock while some critical ones jeered, but most were simply stunned.
