Conrad and Reginald continued to fight after the Second Demon was non-existent.
Each passing second, Conrad felt that aura around Reginald become wilder and weaker.
He understood completely that the main ability of Reginald was time- and sacrifice-based.
The more time passes in a battle and the more he uses his nen ability, the weaker he gets and the more he sacrifices.
It was not something rare but one of the easiest ways to gain more power.
If special circumstances are there, the power that can be gained is leaps and bounds ahead of other NEN users.
It was like Kurapika, Emperor Time; by placing a lifespan sacrifice on himself, he was able to get huge power in return.
But this was also due to his "Scarlet Eyes" and its specialty and the fact that he went through hell due to the massacre of his Kurta family.
One blade slash, Reginald blocked with his arm blade and counterattacked with the left.
Conrad jumped back and spun in the air, then performed another attack from the upside.
"Boom!"
A clash between the blade and the blade arm of Reginald caused a big explosion.
As the time went on, every three to five seconds, Conrad increased his power and aura usage to go on to make Reginald even more suppressed and understand that he was outclassed in every point.
Reginald was able to block, but blood started dripping from his mouth, his eyes, and his nose.
"You are going to need a hospital." Conrad said.
Reginald took a deep breath and stopped for a moment.
His experience and understanding of the Nen battles told him two things.
One was about the battle itself; the other one was about Conrad.
"He is much stronger than me, and he is holding back to not kill me," was the thought about the battle.
"His words are not because of ridicule, but because he wants me to say that he lost and not to die."
Reginald knew and felt that Conrad did not feel that he was weak or trying to use words to ridicule him or make him lose the battle.
He does not need something like that at all.
Reginald started feeling the black clouds on himself.
"This is a new opening for me," he said to himself, took a deep breath, and his now almost blind eyes looked at all the people watching him.
Conrad holding his cane blade and moving slowly towards them.
"Okay..."
With a whisper.
His arm blades turned into his arms, and his eyes changed to ordinary.
He dropped down on his one knee and said.
"I have lost!" His murmur was not loud, but due to everybody watching him, they found his actions weird and different than usual.
It was heard by the others.
The announcer and the referee heard it clearly.
Referee, come to the middle of the arena and then come to the side of Reginald.
"This is a death match; if you forfeit..."
"The opponent, Conrad, needs to accept it."
"If he accepts it, you will be kicked out of Heavens Arena and will be blacklisted."
As Referre said these words, his eyes landed on Conrad.
If he knows, go on to attack Reginald to kill him.
There is nothing he can do to stop it.
This would not be a murder or a case due to the laws of Heaven's Arena, given the fact that two opponents formed a deal between each other to be in a death match.
Conrad nodded as he looked at the referee and smiled.
"I accept his loss and will not kill him."
"You may end the battle." When Conrad said these words, Referre did not stop and made hand signs in the middle of the arena.
The announcer woman shouted out loud into the microphone.
"There it is!!"
"The duel between Conrad and Regineld is ended."
"Reginald forfeited the death match and will be blacklisted by the Heavens Arena!"
"Winner is Conrad..."
With the announcer's words, the crowd erupted into shouts; they all discussed many things. Some of them started cussing out Reginald due to him not fighting.
Some of them shook their heads and some of them nodded, understanding that the battle was already lost and it was only logical thing to do to leave.
If the opponent accepts it, there is no need to fight and lose their life.
So, what if they are blacklisted by the Heavens Arena and lose their honor?
It is better than losing their life.
Conrad came to the side of Reginald, who was in pretty bad shape, and said.
"I will be waiting for you in the Docker Bar in three days."
"Heal and come."
"I would like to talk to you for the future."
"I suppose you would also want to get to know me better as an opponent and training partner."
Reginald now rested a bit, and due to not using his ability, he felt more powerful.
He nodded slightly, got up, and left the arena, taking his belongings to leave the arena to find a new place to live.
He did want to meet with Conrad to listen to what he wants to say and understand if there is something that may have importance for him to be listening to.
Conrad looked at the man who was leaving the arena and then nodded.
"If he were to fight against Real, he could deal with the Shadow Beast members one versus one and, I believe, if he were prepared, he could take Kortopi or Shizuku..."
"Adarte and Anisa would need a great plan if they want to take him down even when they are fighting two against one."
"After all that time, he is the only individual that I encountered, strong as some of the hunters and other nen users."
"He will be a great addition to the team if he wants..."
"Which I believe he will."
