They were back in the dungeon, chained. Everyone heard Aglea's announcement. Everyone knew the end match was tomorrow.
They were glad that they no longer had to go through matches with the possibility of being a sacrifice, but they were also apprehensive. What if this end match was something worse?
Whatever it was, they knew they had to go along with it. They had no choice anyway.
"It seems that you have dodged a bullet," Jack said to Master. "You must be glad the matches aren't set so each of us has to be a sacrifice at least once."
"I can say the same thing to you," Master returned. "Do you think these folks are going to risk their lives just because you risk your life for them? People are selfish! Only a fool does what you do. The moment you become a sacrifice, they will only watch as you die. I have been very eager to see that happen, but it seems I don't get the chance anymore."
