"Ah!" Gizel gasped, her eyes snapping open in shock.
The last thing she remembered before blacking out was the unbearable pain tearing through her body.
The battle… it had been one-sided from the very start.
When she had summoned the Mirror World and landed a few hits on William, she thought she had gained the upper hand. She believed he had fallen for the same tricks that had secured her victory in countless past battles.
But she was wrong. Utterly wrong.
He had never been cornered. He was simply observing her—studying her moves.
For him, it wasn't a struggle; it was entertainment. He had wanted a real fight, one fought head-on.
But Gizel hadn't seen that. She was focused only on winning.
Maybe it was pride—maybe ego—but she just wanted to stand as the victor.
And that was her downfall. The moment she pushed him too far, he decided to end it.
He crushed her completely. She hadn't even been able to fight back.
