The words fell.
Bang!
Bacchus toppled straight to the ground, completely losing all ability to fight.
The referee immediately rushed forward to check on him. After confirming that Bacchus could no longer continue the match, he raised his arm high.

Lucy burst out laughing on the spot.
Over at Quatro Cerberus's waiting area, everyone's faces were livid, but they just so happened to have nothing to say.
