Bab 140: Chapter 140: The Destroyer

Gabriel couldn't see Cylix and Novius anywhere, but he was sure that they were still seeing him. 

"You can stand back," he told the Infernal King. "I'll be fighting him myself."

Just like in the previous trials, Gabriel told the Infernal King to stand back since he only wanted the Infernal King's help when it was absolutely necessary. 

By now, the Infernal King had also become accustomed to it. He just stepped back, giving some room to Gabriel. 

Initially, when he was called by Gabriel, he wanted to go back to his world as soon as possible, but after coming this far, he actually wanted to finish it and see just what was on the final floor.

Gabriel also took off his gloves and kept them in his pockets, revealing both his Elemental Marks. As the gloves were already useless on this floor before these Projections, he didn't feel the need to use them for now. He also felt freer without them.
