Glory!

That was when this word filled the screen.

Everyone was stunned. Glory, that word would only appear when announcing a victory, but wasn't this match a tie? Glory shouldn't have appeared then! Could it be...

Everyone scanned the field wildly and, as expected, amidst the light of Eight Note's disappearing spirits, there stood Deception. Health, 0.7 percent.

He wasn't dead yet?!

Everyone was shocked. It wasn't until the broadcast replayed that moment in slow motion that everyone realized what had happened.

That's right, Deception hadn't died. In that last moment, he had completed a Shadow Clone Technique, and without their owner's help, summon creatures couldn't determine clones from real characters. So when Eight Note's health hit zero, the Deception everyone had seen take a fatal blow was actually just Deception's shadow clone.

This wasn't a tie!
