章 875: Winner and Loser

'I can't afford to lose!'

As this thought echoed in Adonis' head, he gritted his teeth and prepared himself to release slightly more power than he planned on.

'Rey, you… you went above the limit you displayed throughout the fights! I underestimated how far you were willing to go in order to win!' His thoughts trailed. 'But, if you're increasing your power output, it's only fair that I do the sa—!'

"I don't think so!" Like a shadow, Rey swiftly crept up on Adonis and grabbed him on his face.

'—ame'

Adonis felt his body falling to the ground at an abnormally fast rate right as he completed his thought, and before he could properly respond… 

~BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!~

… His back crashed against the hard surface of the stage.

"Gah!" Adonis didn't feel a lot of pain, but he felt incredible discomfort, as Rey's palm was heavily planted on his face with no way of coming off.
