Final Opponent

With his first victory secured, Adrian waited on the sidelines, observing the matches around him and strategizing for his next fight. To his surprise, none of the princes had chosen to challenge him, leaving him curious and slightly suspicious. Perhaps they were biding their time, planning something he hadn't yet foreseen.

Soon, the announcer's voice echoed through the arena, calling for the next set of matches. Adrian's name was listed in the seventh round, this time against a heavy weapon user—an axe-wielder with considerable strength and skill.

As Adrian stepped into the ring, he saw his opponent—a broad-shouldered, muscular young man with a heavy, double-bladed axe resting on his shoulder. One would question whether he was really 18 years old. The young man gave Adrian a challenging grin, cracking his neck as he prepared for the fight.
