The arena.
Viridian vines, sharp as blades, danced through the air.
They sliced across the guards' necks, sending their heads flying high into the sky.
Such wanton slaughter sent the common folk screaming and scattering in all directions.
"Who dares cause trouble at the Sacred Combat?!"
"You're courting death!"
Dozens of temple Warriors, clad in heavy armor and wielding long-handled battle-axes, charged toward the arena gate at top speed.
Their eyes burned with fury.
The Sacred Combat was a hallowed ritual; no blasphemy would be tolerated!
This was a provocation against the Goddess!
However.
SWISH.
A sharp, green light whistled past!
Like paper before a box cutter, it effortlessly pierced through man and armor alike!
Dozens of temple Warriors were left dead on the spot!
"Such insolence!"
Nais watched this scene, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably!
