"The situation in the Losers Bracket looks extremely grim."
Dark spoke with a hint of amusement.
Vanessa Bolt aside, although Victor Gaude had fallen into the Losers Bracket, his deck was unquestionably the strongest among the remaining eight!
A classic clash: the strongest spear against the strongest shield. Would the shield shatter and its wielder fall, or would the spear break and its bearer die?

And that was indeed the case.
There was no upset in the fourth duel that followed.
Though Justin Wayne had improved compared to before, he was ultimately no match for Sara Swati. He did not last long before conceding defeat.

Fate truly did not favor him. In the end, he had still failed to avoid Victor
