The tension in the arena was suffocating, the air thick with mana as spells crackled through the battlefield. Some of the more audacious mages hurled their incantations at the newcomer, a young man who stood alone against their combined might. Fireballs, arcane bolts, and shards of ice lashed toward him in a chaotic storm, yet he moved like a shadow slipping between candle flames. With an eerie grace, he dodged each attack as if they were mere trifles, his expression remaining impassive. No spell marred his path, no force seemed capable of halting his advance.
And he wielded no weapon.
