Thud!
The sound was not particularly loud. Still, it echoed through everyone's ears like thunder.
The next moment... Arthur's voice rang out.
"The Sorath contestant has lost the ability to continue fighting. Winner — Helen Magnus."
After a brief moment of silence...
BOOM!!
The entire Human section exploded into an unprecedented celebration. Countless spectators leaped to their feet simultaneously.
Deafening cheers shook the entire Central Arena. Some frantically waved the flags of humanity.
Others shouted Helen's name at the top of their lungs.
Many young players became so excited by the hard earned victory that their faces turned bright red.
Before the battle had begun, very few people had truly believed Helen could defeat a Sorath on a battlefield transformed into an icy domain.
Yet through flawless control of fire and through careful preparations laid out step by step since the very beginning, she had completely overturned what had seemed like certain defeat.
