244 Obsidia's Monologue

(Obsidia's Perspective)

I-Impossible...she caught it in mid-air?! A bullet, of all things?!

This distracted me momentarily, but it was the brief window she needed to close the gap between the two of us. The rule with her was that once her Apoxyia form ended, she had to eliminate contestants by touching them directly, similar to Amane. And that, was exactly what she was about to do to me.

In a panic, I pressed down hard on the trigger as Mei Gui's face appeared directly in front of me, and she grasped my neck. And then...

"You win," we said at the same time. We then looked at each other's eyes in confusion.

"...You win," she muttered again dejectedly, letting go of my throat and turning around.
