บท 139: Chapter 139: The Guardians

Gabriel was informed that he was going to be fighting Axion first, and it was going to be a one-on-one battle. That did make the battle a bit easier for him since he only had to focus on one enemy, but when that one enemy was the future Head of the Church of Light, that much advantage didn't mean much. 

"One more thing..." Cylix said, bringing Gabriel's attention back to him. "The battle will last until you defeat the opponent or you are defeated."

"If you want, you can give up on the battle in the middle by just saying the words. We will stop the battle. And I would suggest you don't ignore that advice. Instead of being seriously hurt or even dying, it's better to give up at the right time. That way, you can save some energy for the next battle."

"Next battle?" Gabriel didn't understand what they meant by the next battle. If he gave up, didn't that mean he lost the battle? Why would there be a subsequent battle in that case?
