At the Dark Stadium…
With the sun climbing above the horizon, the spectators roared at the appearance of their queen, Seraphim D'Angelo.
The crowd had seen both her brutal side and her calm, kind demeanor in her fight with the Persistent Mantis. Since then, she'd fought again, winning without much effort.
Spectators flocked to see her, drawn by the promise of witnessing a legend in the making.
Victory here would put Seraph just two fights away from claiming the title of strongest Knight since Kysa's disappearance.
However, something was different this time. After countless fights, Seraphim finally approached the podium with her sword.
This was bizarre.
Though her opponent was formidable, she'd refused to draw her blade even against Clara, the Persistent Mantis, one of the competition's strongest fighters.
