Chapter 44: SAVE THE 3RD PRINCE
The golden sun dipped low over the Arcadia Arena, casting long amber shadows across the high stone walls. The cheers of the crowd had quieted, replaced by a buzz of low conversation as spectators trickled out, still reeling from the day’s brutal matches.
Just as the last wave of audience members began to stand,
A voice, calm and amplified by magic, echoed from the central tower.
A blast of golden light flared above the central spire, illuminating the sky with a burst of mana. All eyes turned upward.
"All participants and spectators—attention!
The quarterfinal matchups for tomorrow shall now be announced in advance!"
Murmurs swept through the crowd. The tournament wasn’t wasting any time.
Above the stadium, the panel hovered again—glowing with radiant script as names aligned in pairs.
Quarterfinal Matchups:
Match 1: Lilith Starwind vs. Vaylen Mord
Match 2: Prince Rowan Hale vs. Arven Skell
