The structure of the final 12 tournament had been decided, and it seemed luck was on Damien's side. He and Katherine were on opposite sides of the bracket, making it so that if they fought, it would be in the finals.
With the Nexus Event winding down, the tournament would only last 4 days. There would be 2 fights a day, with the final day being used only for the finals and the award ceremony that followed it.
For the final 12 tournament, the use of artifacts would once again be allowed in the competition. Now that only the strongest remained, it would give them the most entertainment this way.
There were still regulations though. The competitors were required to use artifacts of the same grade when they compete. For instance, if one side had an SS rank artifact while the other only had an A rank, both competitors would have to use A rank artifacts.
