At that moment, Number 6's halberd nearly grazed his shoulder, but it only left a tear on his clothing. If he had
been any slower, he might have lost an arm.
She intensified her assault as her speed and strength increased with each strike. Each swing of her blade carried
the sound of thunder, which made her attacks unstoppable.
On the contrary, he continuously evaded her attacks. Even when he managed to block, his arms were left numb,
and he was forced to retreat several steps with each blow.
With no opportunity for a counterattack, he had no choice but to focus on defense.
"Hey, Miles, didn't you say she would lose? Looks like she's gaining momentum and might win." Ruby watched
the fight with growing surprise from outside the battle ring.
Initially, the man in black seemed to have the upper hand. But once Number 6 removed her outer clothing, she

"Well..." Miles' smile froze, and his face revealed sembarrassment. He hadn't expected Number 6 to wear
darksteel armor underneath her clothes.
Her sealed strength was unleashed with the armor removed, greatly enhancing her abilities. It just proved that
predictions didn't hold up until the very end.
Miles suddenly turned to Dustin with a curious expression. "Hey, did you already know that Number 6 was
wearing darksteel armor?"
"Nope." Dustin smiled and explained, "I figured a petite woman like her swinging a halberd had to be special. It's
not every day you see women handling weapons like that."
"Yeah! Why didn't | think of that?" Miles finally caught on.
When someone was doing something out of the ordinary, there was usually a good reason behind it.

individuals were naturally more formidable than ordinary martial artists.
Ruby suddenly shouted, "Hey! Looks like the first battle ring's about to wrap up!"
Everyone around them immediately turned their attention to the battle ring.
At that moment, Number 6 had already pushed the man in black to the edge of the ring. He was panting heavily
and drenched in sweat, clearly reaching his limit.

shadowsteel staff flying.
He staggered backward. His foot hovered dangerously close to the edge of the ring as he struggled to maintain
his balance.
At this crucial moment, the man in black was defenseless, and victory was within her grasp. But Number 6

"You gavea chance earlier. So, considerreturning this favor. Let's keep fighting." She gently kicked the

The staff shot up into the air and landed right in his hand.
She even took a few steps back to ensure her opponent had ample room to fight, showing her commitment to a
fair fight.
The crowd silently admired her gesture. While it was often said that friendship should trump competition, few
actually abide by that principle.
Who would willingly give their opponent a chance to stage a comeback when victory seemed within grasp?
The man in black glanced at her, then down at the staff in his hand. Finally, he let out a resigned sigh and shook
his head. "You know what? I'm calling it quits. I'm no match for you. | concede."
Her display of respect had won him over, so he saw no point in dragging the fight. After all, there was no shame
in admitting defeat when he knew he was outmatched.
