129 Want blood, do you?

"Did I win?"

As Reiger blasted Gil into the inferno with a magic spell, making him disappear from sight, the people who had stood up in the spectator seats without realizing it couldn't help but think this.

After knowing that Reiger was a veteran Swordsman and a Magician capable of Tactical Level Magic, many spectators began to develop a psychological bias, all looking forward to Reiger clinching the victory and becoming the ultimate winner of the Battle Festival.

They didn't know Gil, and many hadn't even realized he was one of the Demon Swordsmen who had caused quite a stir three years ago—they just felt from Gil's demeanor that he was no good and therefore didn't want him to win.

In contrast, Reiger was young and handsome, with dual qualifications in swordsmanship and magic, both of which he excelled at, far beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. This naturally led many people to lean towards Reiger, hoping he would win.
