“This is for Brock,” he whispered, just low enough for Bocor to hear.

Color and light were sucked into his fist. The world went mute and dark, leaving only a shining purple meteor, beautiful in its deadliness. Jack swung with surgical accuracy. It went under Bocor’s shield, between his outstretched arms, and right into the gap of his helmet, landing square against his face. The entire force of the strike focused on Jack’s middle knuckle, which shattered on collision.

So did Bocor’s face. It’d already taken a thorough beating. This meteor was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

A blaring explosion was followed by a sickening crunch. Sand flew everywhere, obstructing the stars above. The dune under their feet was leveled. A strong wind flapped the clothes of all those watching, making them cover their eyes as Bocor’s entire body flew back headfirst, passing right by Longsword to skid on the sand behind him.

Jack waited, arm outstretched. His shattered knuckles sent waves of pain into his body, but he ignored them—after the Life Drop’s torture, this was nothing. His eyes were glued on Bocor’s fallen body. His brain was still in combat mode, prepared to keep fighting until he collapsed. He didn’t dare believe in victory. He couldn’t afford to lose.

But Bocor didn’t stand up. He remained on his back, hands sprawled to the sides, shield on the ground next to Jack where it had fallen, face bleeding into the ground. He wasn’t dead, but he was unconscious.

For a few moments, there was silence. Everyone digested the impossibility they’d beheld. Someone had crossed a thirty-one-level gap, and won. Moreover, against an opponent that could also jump ranks to defeat those stronger than himself.

Everyone knew Bocor’s strength. He was highly capable. How could he be defeated by someone at level 84?

The spectating cultivators all had their own thoughts. Suddenly, in perfect unison, everyone turned to Lord Longsword, including Jack and his captured friends.

Longsword hesitated. His eyes shined with fervor. There was desire there, like an enthusiast watching the newest sports car. It made Jack’s skin crawl.

“Very impressive,” Longsword said. “Even I didn’t imagine you hid such strength. My interest in you is rekindled. What do you say, Jack Rust? Would you like to join my team? If you say yes, I’m willing to kick out Bocor. And, if you survive Trial Planet, I guarantee that I will ask my master to save you from the Animal Kingdom. I can even spare your friends here.”

Jack took a moment to gather himself. He’d just escaped fierce combat. He was exhausted and tense. How long had that lasted?

He snuck a glance at Gan Salin, Nauja, and Brock, finding them standing in a corner. The ice lines around them had retreated.

“I appreciate your offer, Lord Longsword,” he said. “Since I defeated the minotaur, I believe it is time to honor our agreement?”

“Of course! A bet is a bet,” Longsword replied, unbothered by Jack’s refusal. His eyes still glinted with excitement. “You and your team are free to go.
