"This isn't over yet, fucker."
Kaiser weakly muttered.
But his voice carried—just loud enough for Umar to hear.
And the moment Umar did—
"...!"
His eyes widened, and his face flushed red with rage.
"Kid, you're being way too arrogant for someone who just got their face caved in."
He growled, forcing a smile through gritted teeth.
Then, with a crooked smirk creeping across his face—
"What are you even saying? Your punches were weak as fuck. I got up right away—see?"
Kaiser replied, nonchalant and taunting.
"Ha..."
Umar let out a dry scoff.
"KAHAHAHAHA—!!"
And just like that, he burst into laughter. Loud, unhinged, echoing through the arena.
He threw his head back, covered his eyes with one hand, and clutched his stomach with the other—laughing like a madman.
Then—
"..."
He suddenly stopped.
Fwip—
Swoosh—
He whipped around and snatched his battle axe from where it was stuck behind him.
Then, turning back to face Kaiser, his expression had twisted into something furious—veins bulging, jaw clenched tight!
And with that—
"THEN LET ME FUCKING FINISH YOU, YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!"
BAM!
Umar exploded forward!
No strategy. No defense. Just blind fury.
He let rage take full control.
After all...
To him, his opponent was nothing but a weak kid.
And Kaiser, watching the wild fury on Umar's face as he charged—
'Good.'
He grinned inside.
He had provoked him deliberately—for this!
FWOOSH—
Umar was closing in fast.
'Blocking isn't an option... I can't match his power. I need to dodge. Then counter.'
Kaiser focused, fighting the ringing in his ears, the pain in his body.
His vision was still blurry, tinged red from the blood streaming down his face.
But he could still see the shape of his enemy.
And for him—
'That's enough.'
TAP!
Umar reached him in an instant.
And then—
WHOOSH—!
He swung the axe in a horizontal arc!
"...!"
Kaiser saw it coming with how wide the swing was.
And rather than trying to meet it head-on like before—
"Gurgh!"
Fwish—
He ducked!
Barely slipping under the swing, he avoided it clean!
"...?!"
Umar's eyes shot open in disbelief when he saw that.
And Kaiser—
With both arms useless, relying only on his legs—
TAP!
He planted his left foot hard into the ground!
And then—
"GAAAHHH!!!"
BAM!
He launched himself like a cannonball, ramming straight into Umar with every ounce of strength he had left!
TWHACK!
"Ugh...?!"
Thud!
Umar toppled backward and landed hard on his butt.
And in the middle of that—
Phuck!
Kaiser drove his short sword into Umar's left leg!
"URGH...!"
Umar let out a pained groan.
And when he realized what had happened—
"FUCKER!!!"
BAM!
He pulled his left hand away from his weapon and threw a furious punch at Kaiser's face!
"Keuk...!"
Kaiser's head jerked back from the impact.
"...!"
But even then—his gaze never left Umar.
"Gurgh!"
And grinding his teeth through the pain—
"I TOLD YOU—YOUR PUNCHES ARE WEAK AS FUCK!!!"
BOOM!
Kaiser hurled his head forward—slamming it into Umar's face!
CRACK—
"GAH?!!"
His forehead crashed into Umar's nose, shattering the bridge!
A stream of blood spurted from it.
And Kaiser didn't stop there.
He rode the momentum, his adrenaline kicking in—
BAM!
"GUGH?!!"
He released his grip on the short sword, wound up his arm, and slammed a sharp elbow straight into Umar's jaw!
Thud—
Umar collapsed onto his back!
And now—
Fwip—
Their positions had flipped.
Kaiser was the one mounting Umar!
"Fuck...!"
Umar cursed, seething with anger.
He believed it was just a slip-up—that he could shake this kid off anytime.
He was just caught off guard.
He still didn't see Kaiser as a threat.
And also—
He still had his weapon gripped in his right hand.
'I'll fucking kill this bastard.'
Umar thought, tightening his hold on the axe.
But then, just as he was about to move—
BAM!
"GAH!!!"
Kaiser slammed his elbow into the bicep of his right arm!
Ting—
Umar's fingers loosened, and the axe dropped from his hand!
"?!!"
Umar's expression panicked with that.
And in that moment—
"Fucking idiot."
Kaiser muttered coldly.
And not missing such opportunity—
BAM!
He launched another elbow—this time, straight into Umar's already-broken nose!
"GARGH?!"
Umar cried out, eyes wide in pain.
And Kaiser—
He didn't stop.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
He drove his elbow into Umar's face again and again—targeting his nose with ruthless precision!
Every strike echoed louder than the last.
"GUGH...! FUCK OFF!"
BAM!
"Ugh...!"
Umar threw a desperate punch, trying to shake Kaiser off.
But Kaiser—
"SHUT UP!!!"
BAM!
He ignored the blow—ignored the pain—and just kept swinging!
His body was screaming, but the adrenaline had taken over completely. His limit was already breached, but he didn't care.
BAM!
He smashed his elbow right into Umar's broken nose!
BAM!
Then drove it into his eye!
BAM!
Then the mouth!
BAM!
Again—blood spurted out!
BAM!
And again—Umar's head jerked violently with the impact!
BAM!
And again—until his face was barely recognizable under all the swelling and blood!
Kaiser didn't hold back.
He was not fighting for survival anymore—
BAM!
"GRAAARGH?!!"
He was punishing Umar.
"DIE, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"
BAM!
Kaiser couldn't stand people who did immoral things—especially those proud of it, like they'd accomplished something noble.
It disgusted him to the core.
BAM!
So he figured—
'If I'm going to die anyway…'
BAM!
'Then I'm at least bringing this bastard with me!'
BAM!
Kaiser kept attacking.
BAM!
He didn't stop—even when his elbow started to ache, sharp pain shooting up his arm.
BAM!
He didn't stop—even as breathing became harder, every gasp burning in his lungs from exhaustion.
BAM!
Kaiser didn't stop.
Until—
BAM!
"..."
Umar stopped screaming.
He stopped struggling too.
"Haaa… haaa… Haaa… haaaa…"
Kaiser panted, his chest rising and falling heavily, his gaze still fixed on Umar's broken face.
"..."
Umar wasn't moving.
'Is he out?'
Kaiser asked himself, trying to stay alert.
Then, just to be sure—
BAM!
He slammed his elbow into Umar's nose again.
Splash!
Blood sprayed out, thick and dark.
"..."
But Umar didn't react.
His face was destroyed.
His nose was crushed and crooked.
His lips were swollen and torn.
Teeth—shattered and missing.
His eyes were bruised, blood leaking from the corners.
Umar looked like a mutilated corpse already.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The entire coliseum fell into a stunned silence seeing that.
No one cheered.
No one moved.
Everyone was frozen in place, watching in disbelief.
And Kaiser—
"Time to end this."
He didn't give a fuck about them.
Shiick—
He pulled his short sword out of Umar's left leg.
"..."
Umar remained still—unconscious.
Fwip—
Kaiser pointed the blade's bloodied tip to Umar's throat.
"..."
He held that position for several seconds.
Just staring at the man beneath him.
For Kaiser—or rather, for Cale—
This was the first time he was about to kill someone.
Those two robbers he stabbed? They didn't count in his head. He never saw them die, after all.
But this?
This was different.
And looking down at Umar now—
'This guy's better off dead.'
Kaiser concluded that in his mind.
And without hesitation—
PHUCK—
He drove the blade straight into Umar's throat.
Shiick—
He yanked it right back out immediately.
And as he did—
"..."
Blood gushed violently from the gaping wound he opened in Umar's throat.
Fwish—
Kaiser stood up, his body trembling slightly from the toll.
He looked down at his hand, stained red and shaking.
"Huh… Guess I live another day, huh."
He muttered to himself.
And at that moment—
"Ah…!"
The announcer finally snapped out of his stunned daze, voice cracking with shock.
"W-WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS!!! UMAR HAS BEEN DEFEATED—AND KILLED!!!"
He exclaimed.
And immediately—
"TO EVERYONE'S SURPRISE—KAISER WINS!!!"
He declared that.
His voice echoed through the coliseum, filled with disbelief, and a touch of fear.
