End of The Match?

Once the cloud of dust had fallen and parted, what it revealed was a wall of swords that had acted as a makeshift wall against the explosion. However, due to the time it took for them to appear, they weren't durable in the slightest.

Several blades that made up the wall were cracked in cracks, burn marks, and even holes.

Holes that the burning shards had pierced through.

Jericko breathed heavily as the lower half of his body was littered with scorched holes—he could still feel the shards within his body, moving around and scratching at his internal organs.

He diminished his focus on the blade wall and allowed it to fall and clatter against the ground.

He then looked towards the woman, finding that she had disappeared.

He clutched his lower abdomen.

His body wasn't fit to fight, and he just needed a little bit more time for his teammates to respawn again.
