' It must be important that all these creatures are all gathered here in this place, it is not just one species that we are talking about, it is more than 50 at least, I didn't see all of them but I can tell that there hundreds of types'
Isiah wondered with his eyes all over the place, he looked above but nothing seemed to appear, only darkness, he tried not to look too much at those creatures' faces, he tried to withdraw from the front lines because everyone was moving crazily, he got pushed a lot of times as he was struggling to look all around him from the fences, he almost fell .
All the columns were mixed, most of the species were mixed with others as they were waiting for the battle to start, only a few columns were inhabited by the same specie but Isiah couldn't recognize them because they were too far from him, he only knew that because of their color from where he was standing.
Isiah was in the lowest column with all of those creatures, he looked above him and he saw creatures that look much bigger and stronger than him and the others down there .
He knew immediately that this place had a ranking of some sort, the arena was so close and it felt like even by standing here he was putting himself in danger.
"The battles are about to start, are you ready ? " a voice said very loudly and the creatures went wild after that.
Isiah couldn't understand a word but because of their reaction, he knew that what they were waiting for was about to happen .
He leaned back toward the wall and then kept on looking at the arena with anticipation .
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt this point, he was as invested as them.
" As for the first battle of the night, prepare to welcome one of the most powerful drows Zohoron Melyar, he is promising to give you the bloodiest performance in his entire life, he is promising his people to give them the honor to trespass to the old globe this next triple full moon "
Isiah looked at the arena to see what all that fuss was about only to see a tiny creature there, he stopped himself from laughing hard, it was definitely not what he expected as he was hearing all the chanting .
The creature that everyone was chanting for was just so tiny, and it didn't look like it was a friendly elf from Santa Claus interpretation, the elf that was now in the center of that arena looked more evil and dark, it suited this place very well .
' Elf? Hell nah…I guess this creature is more like a drow'
The drow was very tiny compared to all the creatures that Isiah saw inside the arena, it looked very dark with white hair, it wore a green tunic and red pants, while he held a big hammer in his palm.
The hammer itself looked twice his size which made Isiah confused that it was his weapon.
' No …He is not carrying it, he is pulling it on the ground, it is indeed heavy'
Isiah felt disgusted with the way that creature looked, he had saliva dripping from his big mouth full of messed-up teeth, and he had crazy eyes too ,
' Woah, it looks awful, I wonder if this creature is going to survive, it is very tiny !' Isiah wondered .
The drow didn't wave even for the people who were chanting at him, he went to the center and kept on standing there with no other gesture with his body.
" Now, entering the arena the merciless Aleron Aela, he is also fighting for his species' place in the triple full moon "
People were shouting when the introduction ended, after a crusty scary big tree appeared in the arena, Isiah was stunned .
' What the f***ck ! Is it a tree? I can't believe this ! And it is moving …how come ? '
The tree was moving by its veins and it looked much older due to its state, it looked as if it was burned somehow yet it was here trying to battle .
' What is this place ? A drow and tree? Why are they even fighting ? What's the purpose of this whole battle thing ? '
" The first battle in the first round begins now "
Hearing the last sentence everyone stood by their side, and started to shout some words that Isiah didn't understand
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe drow moved fast after the announcement of the beginning of the combat, the tree sent its veins to capture him or even tie him to prevent his movement, but the drow was so fast it couldn't hold him .
The drow made its vieins follow him for enough time to make sure that it reached its limit and then he grabbed his hammer hard and hit the floor with it.
The hit was not even in the veins, it was only on the floor but what came after it made Isiah very surprised.
Something like lighting showed up at that moment but it was very dark and it reached the entire arena making the veins of that tree get cut.
' I didn't imagine that that drow is going to have this kind of power, is it related to him or the item he is heaving, iIthink the hammer is the reason, he is not that strong because he e was not even able to move it very easily '
The tree didn't stop attacking because its veins got regenerated immediately and started moving to capture, after the attack of that drow, he just couldn't hit twice at the same time because it looked like the first strike just consumed his power.
He had to make sure that he have time before the second strike but he got interrupted by the tree's counterattack.
The drow tried to escape but the tree caught him immediately, it tied his legs first then his arms then his head.
Once he was all captured by it, the tree started stretching his limbs and head while he was screaming in pain. It didn't stop until it decapitated him and cut all his arms and legs from his body .
" congratulation …Aleron Aela has passed to the second round"
