Chapter 113: Mauling

The second day of the Greenridge Finals began with a hum of excitement, but everyone knew the real tension would hit in the third match.

The favorites were matched against the less explosive challengers, and the first two matches went almost as expected.

Sia swept through her fight relying on her beasts alone. She made short work of Ren, claiming victory without even using her field spell.

The second match saw Bastian take on Viktor, each fighter giving their all, but Bastian's skills shone through. After a tense start, he pulled ahead, securing his place in the quarter-finals.

Then came the third battle: Mercury versus Jaden.

As the announcer called their names, the crowd's energy shifted. Many of them cheered, expecting finally a good show, but for those knowing the personal story of these two, it was a different matter.
