Chapter 211: No Hard Feelings
A triumphant sound of trumpets resounded above the ancient forest.
"Only three challengers remain!"
"These brave heroes are: Mongrel, one hundred and eleven kills; Kaboom!, eighty-seven kills; Kim Saitoh, fifty-nine kills!"
"Dream of Glory awaits, heroes!"
Sunny dragged his tired body out of the forest, feeling the ground under his feet shift and tremble. At this point, the Titan was almost fully awake, and no part of the arena was safe...
With the exception of the narrow strip of sand between the dark woods and the lake that he had just reached, of course.
Sunny walked into the shallow water and stopped, using the Soul Serpent to support himself. His breath was ragged and hoarse, and there were several dents on the onyx surface of the Mantle of the Underworld.
Almost at the same time, two more figures emerged from the darkness of the hungry forest.
One was an attractive young woman with a slender, yet athletic build, her light-orange hair gathered in an off-center ponytail. She was wearing a colorful tunic of reds, whites, and greens, and wielded a wooden staff. Her orange eyes glimmered with boundless enthusiasm despite how exhausted she should have been.
The other was a man in heavy armor, carrying a greatsword with its blade inscribed by a complicated weave of runes. His face was hidden behind the visor of a helmet, with only calm, cold eyes visible in the narrow slit. His steps were confident, but a little unsteady, betraying a dire level of exhaustion.
’This must be Kaboom and Saitoh.’
