"HUAAAHHH!!! COME HERE!!" Kaizoku ran swiftly towards Gon, with Berserker in both hands, ready to launch a relentless assault.


    "Huh!? Chamenos!" Gon summoned his scythe once again.


    Just before Kaizoku could strike, Gon''s scythe successfully blocked Berserker with its handle.


    Gon held the scythe with all his might, desperate not to be struck and fall from the height.


    But no matter how hard Gon resisted, Kaizoku still had the advantage in physical strength. Kaizoku had bones, flesh, muscles, and special blood within him, while Gon was merely human bones.


    "GGRRRHH..."


    Gon was completely cornered, struggling to withstand Kaizoku''s pushing force. Inch by inch, Gon''s head was nearly falling over the edge.


    "Damn you!! You''ll never be able to overthrow Lord Ishayaki''s power! His strength is absolute, no god or goddess can match him! Not even YOU!" Gon declared while still holding back Kaizoku''s assault.


    "Tch, I''ve come this far, why should I give up? I have a mission to save an innocent beautiful girl. You''d better not get in my way."If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    Kaizoku continuously increased his strength, making it even harder for Gon to resist.


    Despite struggling against Kaizoku''s sword pressure, Gon still praised his master. "Hah! Innocent girl, you say!? People like you are the ones who defy Lord Ishayaki''s rules and laws. Sooner or later, you''ll regret fighting against yourself..."


    "HIYAAAA!!" Kaizoku ignored Gon''s words and with one final push, sent Gon falling from the height.


    Kaizoku looked out through the hole, seeing Sylphy and Lilith still fighting in the middle of the colosseum, where he and Sylphy had previously fought Cerberus.


    Lilith saw her master falling from the height. "Lord Gon!? Wait for me!"


    She quickly flew towards the falling Gon, intending to save him.


    Seeing Lilith trying to rescue Gon, Kaizoku didn''t want that to happen.


    "Ah!! I don''t want to walk down all those stairs!" Kaizoku was confused about choosing his desicion.


    After some thought, Kaizoku chose to jump from the height to prevent Lilith from saving Gon.


    "Alright, Kai! Brace yourself whaaaaa!! WAHAHAHA!" Kaizoku leaped from the height.


    Sylphy saw Kaizoku falling. "You idiot!!!! Void Walk!!"


    For the second time, Sylphy used the Void Walk spell to save Kaizoku from the height.


    Sylphy ran to the highest nearby spot of the castle, and with all her might, jumped towards the falling Kaizoku.


    Both successfully saved their partners safely. Lilith carried Gon with both arms and flew back to the colosseum.


    Meanwhile, Sylphy caught Kaizoku in her arms and jumped back using the castle walls as foothold. Back to the battlefield, the colosseum.


    Lilith and Gon landed safely. Shortly after, Sylphy and Kaizoku landed right in front of them, with sand dust covering them both.


    *Cough, cough* "What''s this! That landing wasn''t smooth!" Kaizoku complained after falling from Sylphy''s arms.


    "What kind of idiot has the idea to jump from the tenth floor, huh!?" Sylphy kicked Kaizoku''s knees.


    "Ah! Ok, ok, I was wrong. I was just lazy to walk down the stairs, besides my initial intention wasn''t suicide, but to prevent Lilith from saving Gon!" Kaizoku stood up from his fall.


    The sand dust settled back down, revealing Kaizoku and Sylphy ready to fight again.


    Kaizoku whispered. "Are your wounds alright?"


    Sylphy hit Kaizoku''s head. "Shut up, I''m used to getting stab wounds. Don''t worry about me, I won''t die just because a mare stab wounds."
