The arena lights slowly brightened as Dahlia and Veyrion stepped onto the battlefield.
The crowd immediately became noisy.
Unlike Dahlia's first opponent, Veyrion entered calmly and elegantly, his metallic silver skin shining beneath the arena lights.
Blue-white energy patterns flowed across his arms and neck like living circuits, giving him a refined and almost futuristic presence.
Dahlia walked in from the opposite side with both hands behind her head, looking completely relaxed.
The giant screen above them flashed.
[Second Round]
[Dahlia Draconia]
[Representative: God Gym]
[VS]
[Veyrion Calthis]
[Silverian Race]
Veyrion stared at Dahlia with a cold smile. "So you really made it here."
Dahlia grinned. "Obviously."
Veyrion slowly raised one hand, and faint blue-white energy gathered around his palm.
"Since you are participating in the Newbie Tournament, that means you only recently entered cosmic civilization."
