Silence filled the arena as Alice slowly turned her head towards Bo who was slumped against the shields.
The spectators weren't sure what happened as Egil was on the back foot until that last moment.
Collapsing on his knee, Egil looked at Bo before turning to Torgeir.
Gritting his teeth, he slammed his fist into the ground.
"F*CK!!!" He roared in anger, confusing the people around him including Alice.
*Ahem!
Clearing his throat, Torgeir stepped into the arena and calmed the crowd down.
"The winner of this duel, Alice Agnelia!" He announced.
Upon hearing his proclamation, the crowd broke into confusion as Alice stood up and recalled her shards with doubt in her eyes.
"While Egil indeed managed to land a strike against Bo, he did so after I called the end of the duel. It was his shout that caused the announcement to go unheard."
With the decision being reinforced, Egil could only sit down on the ground in fatigue.
