Chapter 2264 Atlas conceded defeat decisively. However, even after he jumped out of the battle ring, the enraged Miles pursued him with his sword. He looked like he was out for blood.

"Hey! What are you doing? I already surrendered! What else do you want?" Atlas cried out in fear as he dodged each vicious strike.

He hadn't expected Miles to go berserk. Miles was fighting with a relentless fury as if he were willing to go down with him. If he had known, he wouldn't have provoked Miles earlier.

Atlas' pleas fell on deaf ears as Miles' sword continued its relentless assault. Each blow aimed at Atlas' throat. Upon seeing Atlas in danger, the referee finally stepped in. With a swift movement, he effortlessly caught Miles' sword between two fingers.

"Contestant Number 34 has conceded. The match is over. No fighting outside the battle ring," the referee said calmly. His commanding voice snapped Miles out of his rage.

Miles' anger gradually faded as he regained his composure. "Sorry, I got carried away." He quickly sheathed his sword and apologized.

This unassuming referee was clearly a hidden expert. It was a reminder not to underestimate the monks of Sacred Wyrm Summit.

"Damn it! How did I end up fighting a psycho like you? This isn't fun anymore. I'm out," Atlas cursed and quickly stormed off.

"The winner is contestant number 12," the referee announced loudly.

The crowd immediately burst into cheers. Those who had bet on Miles rejoiced and celebrated their victory. "We did it. Miles won!" Ruby shouted as she jumped up in excitement.

Miles' victory wasn't just a personal triumph. It was also a source of pride for the Sword Union. As a guild member, preserving honor was paramount, and he had certainly upheld their reputation in the match.

He had always believed that if Miles fought bravely, victory was within reach. It all hinged on whether Miles dared to risk everything. His sudden surge of strength had certainly impressed Dalen.

In the martial world, one couldn't expect to go far without the courage to risk it all.

"Miles has finally broken through his limits. From now on, his mindset and skills will soar to new heights." Crystal, typically stoic, smiled warmly. She was proud of Miles' victory.

She had placed her bet on Miles, so she had been rooting for him to win. Despite the rollercoaster match, it ended on a high note.

"Fortune favors the brave. Once he went all out, it completely turned the match around," Aurora agreed with a nod.

While skill mattered, courage was equally important. She had definitely gained svaluable insights that day. "Fuck! What the hell? Number 34 was all aggressive earlier in the match and now he's chickened out? What a coward!" "Ugh! If I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn't have bet on him. I'm broke now." "Screw this! Givemy money back!"
