Making his way through the entrance, Eelzad felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. He had sent the challenge to Knuckles Shi with the hope of testing his limits and pushing himself to new heights. Today, he would find out how he measured up against one of the guild’s strongest members.
Eelzad entered the lobby, a spacious area filled with fighters preparing for their matches, discussing strategies, or simply waiting for their turn in the arena. He found a quiet corner and sat down, taking a moment to gather his thoughts and focus his mind. The sounds of clashing weapons and cheering crowds echoed through the halls, a constant reminder of the battle that awaited him.
He took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the moment. This fight was more than just a challenge; it was an opportunity to prove himself and to grow stronger. Eelzad glanced around the lobby, noticing the various fighters, each with their own unique styles and abilities. Some nodded in acknowledgment, recognizing him as the newcomer who dared to challenge Knuckles Shi.
The minutes ticked by slowly as Eelzad waited, his anticipation growing with each passing moment. He reviewed his strategies, mentally preparing himself for the fight. His Aqua Sphera Gauntlets felt heavy with potential, ready to be unleashed in battle. He knew he would need to use every ounce of his strength and skill to stand a chance against Knuckles. He didn't know if his ripple magic would work against Knuckles, and that was only if he would be able to land a blow on the man.
Eelzad understood that there was a strong fighting culture within the Paradise Dawn guild. It was a way for newer members to gauge their abilities against each other, identify their weaknesses, and strive to become stronger and better at achieving their goals. Eelzad knew he needed more power quickly, feeling that his current strength wasn't sufficient for the challenges ahead. Today, his opponent was one of the esteemed members of the guild, Knuckles Shi. This man was known for never turning down a challenge, which was a key reason for his immense power and strength.
"Even lasting a full minute would be worth it. "
Eelzad stood, his resolve solidifying. He followed the guild member through the corridors, the noise of the arena growing louder with each step. Finally, they reached the entrance to the coliseum floor, where the bright sunlight and roaring crowd greeted him.
Standing at the edge of the arena, Eelzad could see Knuckles Shi on the opposite side, his presence commanding and intimidating. The crowd's cheers reached a crescendo as the announcer introduced the fighters.
"And now, the moment you've all been waiting for! In this corner, the determined newcomer, Eelzad Kors!"
Eelzad couldn't lie, the cheers were motivating. At the very least, he had to put on a show for the fans or had the desire to.
"Great warrior, thank you for accepting my challenge. "
