The stakes, however, pushed the excitement for the duel to a fever pitch. On the line were the fates of three Earl's Domains, a Legendary Magic Weapon, a Mage Soul Crystal, and, unimaginably, a Mermaid and a Giant Dragon.
Put together, these items were valuable enough to easily purchase an entire duchy.
Any intelligent person knew this duel was an opportunity not just to win the prize, but also to make a name for themselves.
And so, news of the duel began to spread throughout Gonda City.
The duel was to be held in Gonda's largest gladiatorial arena—the Saint Demin Arena.
It seemed rather ironic for such a bloody and barbaric place of entertainment to have such a name. But this was because a Legendary Holy Hall Knight had once been a fighter in this very arena. In his honor, the beast fighting arena was later renamed.
