Death

Quickly launching himself from his prone position Layton stood upright and gazed silently at his opponent who had similarly stood up, although the arena had tried its best to limit the contestants from borrowing power from the outside world but Layton through his in-depth control of himself and the close collision with his opponent was able to synchronize with his opponent's magnetic field although he couldn't do anything too miraculous but the with his subtle manipulation the synchronization was sure to bring him advantages at least his opponent wouldn't be able to suppress him as easily as before.

 Yes, although it looked like he and his opponent were equally matched the truth was that Layton was being slowly suppressed, the opponent's strength was higher than him and he had trouble colliding head on, the opponent's quick burst was unpredictable, the opponent's combat intuition and techniques were nothing short of superb.
