"You're next, Lightning Prince."
The words rang across the entire coliseum. Several seconds passed in silence as eyes slowly widened. Then the silence shattered.
Many roared at the top of their lungs, screaming Vaelor's name. Only a singular thought echoed through the minds of all.
How brazen.
Vaelor had just defeated Kaelion, a known Calderalth prodigy, and immediately afterward challenged the Lightning Prince. Such a thing was rarely seen. An intense rivalry between the two houses!
Now, with only one candidate remaining for both houses, it was clear that whoever won would carry the Proving! The anticipation surging through the crowd was tangible.
Above, City Lord Ociden smiled.
'Perfect, son. Perfect.'
The fight with Kaelion had turned out even better than expected. And with this new challenge, everyone would now be anticipating their battle.
In that case, Vaelor winning would carry far more significance than before.
