The second day of the rose duel was a one-on-one duel between the contenders and ghouls. They were more dangerous than the monster arranged for the first event
Ghouls were ghosts who refused to pass on and ended up turning into bloodthirsty monsters that survived on terror and destruction.
The goal was to defeat the ghoul within the stipulated time to prevent casualties. If a participant was unable to finish off his match within the stipulated time, the match would be forced to stop and assistance would be given to defeat the ghoul immediately.
