The Serpent Path lay completely destroyed. Suho and Hajun managed to stepped out with the help of spatial magic.
The debris and bodies were littered everywhere. Dead monster fishes were poisoning the water with their acid. The rotten smell of burning flesh was strong.
Silence. Tension.
The audience and even the royal family, were stunned and speechless. No one knew what exactly happened.
The announcer was nudged by the dancer beside him.
The announcer's voice boomed across the coliseum.
"Ah-uhm... okay?" He cleared his throat.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! ROUND TWO HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED! THE SURVIVORS—OBSIDIAN TEMPEST AND VALERIAN MORTIS—WILL ADVANCE TO ROUND THREE!"
The silence that was spread, was changed.
The crowd erupted.
Screams. Cheers.
The thunder of twenty thousand feet stomping in approval.
"ROUND THREE WILL BEGIN IN—" The announcer paused dramatically. "—THIRTY MINUTES!"
The crowd roared again.
Thirty minutes.
