83. Seven

Ubert's show of resolve sparked new life in the arena. His appearance with his Elemental Craft and his declaration caused our audience to cheer him on.

"What do you even want to gain with this? You've lost already," I declared, tilting my head to the side. Ubert's response to my words was a simple cry, after which he spun his spear and charged towards me.

Pointing his left hand toward me, I watched small balls of flames appear and shoot at me, and I couldn't help but feel pity at that sight. Eiko's display and even Lord Cephas's played in my mind. What he had to offer seemed like child's play, even if his attacks were generally dangerous to the average person.

Gritting his teeth and ignoring his pain, he began to launch an attack when I was within range.

His movements were too slow to be considered a threat, and I easily weaved through them without needing to do any more than light footwork.
