9.18 Seed of suspicion

The audience watched the stagnant battle with anxiousness, the boy refused to reach out for his weapon, while the man refused to aim anywhere else. Some in the audience had noticed the fire string creeping towards the man holding the bow, and the nearer the string got towards the man, the more anxious the audience became.

But the man seemed unaware of the string, so even when it slowly coiled around him, the man was focusing on the boy and his weapon. Only when the boy showed an expression of triumph and pulled the string, tightening it around the man's body, did the man realised. He accidently fired his arrow towards the scythe, as he lost grip on his bow. With his body tied up, the man couldn't move an inch.
