Yu stood on the final square belonging to the victor, looking at the devastated Kibizan.
He was not one to kick someone when they were down. In this battle, Kibizan had displayed a sense of responsibility worthy of her status as King Zhenruo's daughter!
Deep down, Yu respected this opponent!
Having accepted reality, Kibizan, the loser, wore a composed expression as she faced death. "Heh, you won. If you want to mock me, then go ahead and mock me to your heart's content!"
Yu turned around and said solemnly, "I will not mock you, Kibizan. You are an opponent worthy of respect. I will remember you."
"Oh?" Kibizan was visibly surprised. "To think I would receive praise from an enemy—that does surprise me. But is that really all right? More than once, I mocked you and your companions as lower lifeforms!"
Yu saw through it all. "The oppression of races is decided by the struggle for survival. Isn't that all there is to it? Don't we humans view other species the same way? But even those beneath others have the right to resist! For survival, for freedom!"
For the first time, Kibizan revealed an appreciative smile. "No wonder you made it this far from the bottom. If only you had been born into my clan. Then you and Ryushiki would not have fought each other. The two of you would certainly have become the pillars of our clan..."
Yu sighed as well. "If only you were human. Then we would not have had to kill each other. Perhaps we could even have become friends."
Crack! Crack!
Cracks appeared across Kibizan's body as she irreversibly headed toward destruction!
This was the terror of the rules!
Fate's Manyfold Debate, this Shikigami, could bestow absolute death upon the loser of the game!
