The commentator, a figure with a commanding presence, stood at the center of the grand arena, his voice resonating through the space. Dressed in a tailored suit. Standing on a raised platform, the commentator had a prime vantage point to observe every inch of the arena. The broadcast was captured by a big screen that could be seen from all points of the Arena to ensure every moment of the championship bouts was captured and relayed to the eager audience.Spotlights danced across the arena, casting dramatic shadows on the polished surface of the fighting grounds. ~Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Championship Bouts! We have a monumental evening ahead as 16 fighters will enter this hallowed arena to battle for ultimate glory. Only one will emerge victorious!"Cheers and roars drowned out his next words momentarily as flashing lights drew all eyes to the displays high above. ~Please direct your attention to the screens," the announcer continued once the noise di

Talon was taken aback by the impressive precision Thornbark consistently demonstrated in his attacks on his opponents.Now, Thornbark was about fighting his 15th opponent. Talon had studied every of his fighting style, probing for any weakness to exploit. Talon watched in awe as Thornbark emerged victorious from every battle.As Thornbark stood tall, catching his breath amidst the roar of the crowds, Talon began analyzing his fighting style, looking for any clues to the secret of his endurance.He knew Thornbark was a +DD- Class Ranker Holy Druid with a mastery over nature elemen
Thornbark playfully remarked to Valkyrie, "I hope I won't be condemned merely for engaging in combat with a woman," accompanied by a teasing chuckle."If you dare challenge me, let's settle this elsewhere, perhaps in a more private setting. We'll find out who truly deserves the title of the ultimate fighter. I have no intention of subjecting you to public humiliation," Thornbark added, a sly grin and mischievous glint in his eyes.Valkyrie sharply retorted, "Do you honestly believe I would lower myself to enter your chambers? Your jests are astonishing. If I were to even set foot in that space, I would swiftly cut off your most prized possession," her gaze fixated menacingly on Thornbark's lower region.Her sharp gaze even made Thornbark to hold his pants in fear of what she might do. "Hmmm.... she must really be the intense type. " Talon smiled as he watched their verbal engagement. "Pfttt!" Gwen replied to the statement. "Hoooooooh!"A collective gasp reverberated through the cr
Valkyrie found herself surrounded by long, thick vines ablaze with fiery energy, all converging on her position on the ground, just a short distance away from Thornbark. With every ounce of his strength, Thornbark focused on a single strike, determined to eliminate Valkyrie once and for all.The vines intertwined and merged into a colossal hand, forming a massive appendage that extended from Thornbark's octopus-like limb, all aimed directly at Valkyrie. Despite her remarkable agility and nimbleness, she attempted to evade the onslaught of attacks, but it became increasingly apparent that she was unable to escape the grip of the vine hand.Performing a graceful backflip, Valkyrie wielded her Chilled Ghost sword, attempting to sever the relentless vines. However, to her dismay, with each cut she made, the vines seemed to regenerate. Finally, Thornbark utilized the vine hand to ensnare Valkyrie entirely, lifting her off the ground using the tendrils. "Aaaaah!" A horrifying scream escape
Immediately, Valkyrie tightened her grip on her Blade and spun through the air, closing in on Thornbark with incredible speed. She had gained the upper hand, swiftly cutting through the vines that threatened to encroach upon her. Her movements were so swift that they blurred, making her appear like a phantom in the frozen environment. Thornbark's every action seemed sluggish in comparison, hindered by Valkyrie's dominating presence."I would say you're in my domain, but that would imply I'm merely a demigod," Valkyrie chuckled, observing how Thornbark stood no chance against her now.The fact that Valkyrie, a Sanctifier, possessed an elemental ability typically reserved for Holy Druids, shocked the onlookers. The once-expected defeat of the mighty Valkyrie had now turned the tables on Thornbark, placing them in a precarious position."Thornbark, it appears you underestimated me," Valkyrie asserted, with confidence. "The almighty Valkyrie, whom everyone believed would be defeated, no
"Don't worry, darling. I'll go easy on you for now, but later we can unleash our naughtiness," Valkyrie playfully teased, blowing a kiss to Talon from a distance.Talon, unaware of the implications behind his words, responded confidently, "No need to hold back. I prefer my battles to be strong and fierce."The crowd reacted with surprise, their collective gasp echoing through the arena. However, no one was more infuriated by Talon's reply than Gwen."Argh! Does he truly understand what he's saying?" Gwen muttered under her breath, crossing her legs as she turned her attention towards the audience."Well, since you insist, I'll give you the intensity you desire," Valkyrie declared, her hands still wrapped in her blade-like moves. With effortless speed, she darted towards Talon, her movements becoming a blur."It seems you're quite strong. I adore men with strength, so I hope you can meet my standards," Valkyrie commented, her motions becoming even more rapid as she closed in on Talon.
The frozen ice block hurtled towards her, leaving her astonished at Talon's ability to control it with such precision. As a Heavenly Artificer, she had doubted his capability in this icy environment, expecting his momentum to be hindered.Reacting swiftly, she raised her hands to block the incoming ice block. With a swift motion of her elbow, she deflected the block, causing it to shatter into countless pieces. However, there was no time to rest, as Talon had already conjured four more ice blocks in the air. He showed no signs of slowing down or taking a break. Valkyrie marveled to herself, "How does he manage to do it?" She couldn't contain her surprise at Talon's extraordinary abilities.Meanwhile, Gwen found herself lost in deep thought. She whispered to herself, "I'm starting to believe what Nate told me. How is he able to execute his kicks with such ease? Does he truly possess the Six Professions?" Her brother had described Talon as an extraordinary Divine Sentinel. At first,
Valkyrie retracted her gauntlet, securing it back onto her enormous sword. Talon, wielding his dual swords, chuckled confidently at Valkyrie's choice of weapon."What do you take me for? A sluggish fool who can't counter your slow movements? You must be joking if you think that sword can stand up to me," Talon declared, his voice brimming with certainty as he maintained his poised stance."Now, you'll learn who the sluggish one truly is," Valkyrie retorted, determination etched across her face. She blurred into a blur of motion, vanishing from sight for a split second. Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, she materialized right in front of Talon, her intent clear. This time, there would be no playful fighting.With a swift and powerful swing, Valkyrie aimed to sever Talon's neck. However, Talon swiftly spun both of his swords, meeting her strike with a precise parry.*Kaaaay!*Talon felt the tremendous force emanating from Valkyrie's sword, pushing him back slightly. Despite the impact, h
