Section 1354, the seventh layer

As he left, Lyon kept glancing back at the arena.

"The body of the bird in the cage has been split in two; will she die?" Lyon asked.

"No," Angel replied confidently. Wicked Thoughts might have struck hard, but this is the Sky Tower, and unless one truly erases the opponent's vitality, according to the healing standards of the Sky Tower, I estimate she'll be up and about in no time.

"However, just because she won't die this time doesn't mean people don't die in the Sky Tower's arena. Any contestant who steps into the arena must not harbor any hope for luck." Angel paused, saw that Lyon was looking at him, and continued, "Even if the rules of the Sky Tower encourage avoiding fatalities, rules are rigid, people are not. You can't predict who you'll face. What if your opponent likes to torture and kill? Within the rules, he can still find ways to kill you."
