119 Trial of Power (1)

Typhon had briefly whispered the name of my opponent before climbing the podium that faced the arena. I wasn't surprised in the slightest that an arena existed in Pandora considering the decree they lived by. A location to prove one's strength was required, and this was the perfect place.

I looked around the arena, the bark walls and dim lighting creating an ominous ambiance. The stands were overflowing with monsters, every citizen of Pandora witnessing the spectacle.

"Jok is one of our top warriors. Don't underestimate him."

I recalled Typhon's words as I entered the arena. The booming roar of thousands of spectators rang across the area, all of them cheering for the warrior they had come to respect. I eyed my opponent, his eyes shining with the pride of being the crowd's favorite.
