Cheng Shi was, of course, still alive.
Or rather, if the authority "Vitality" cared about its reputation, then even if its effects had been pierced through, it absolutely could not have lost to an ordinary mortal.
Of course, as I said before, Cheng Shi had not known what trump card Little Seven was hiding before the battle began, so he had not dared to bet everything on "Vitality." Ever cautious, he had already left behind a backup plan called "Never Die" while fleeing for his life.
Don't forget—he was a clown now, a Deception Priest who possessed Lies Like Yesterday!
As luck would have it, in the previous trial, there had been a teammate whose eyes barely opened properly, and Cheng Shi had managed to trick him. Thus...

When the Universe Graveyard became my home, what? You actually want to drive me home!?
I refuse! Because a rebellious clown never takes his final bow easily.
The gravekeeper had given Cheng Shi the greatest confidence, allowing him to begin his plan the moment Little Seven fired that arrow. And the name of that plan was...
Heart-Severing!
The kind of heart-severing that killed both the body and the spirit!
