Chapter 69: Apex Predator

The crowd erupted in cheers, Eratz remained calm, a subtle smile playing on his lips. He could feel the eyes of everyone on him, all watching with anticipation from the stands.

He cracked his neck and took a deep breath, his heart steady. This was the moment he loved, that rush of adrenaline before a fight. The world around him shifted as the sound of the start rang.

Darian unleashed his army of reptiles, large, agile creatures, each one a dangerous monster in its own right.

Massive snakes-like and crocodiles-like monsters surged through the water, their sharp teeth gleaming as they moved in on Eratz.

Eratz smirked, his red eyes flashing with amusement.

"So we're doing this..."

His shadow stretched and shifted, then, hundreds of beasts erupted from them, like a living wave of darkness.

The crowd roared, shocked at the sheer number of creatures Eratz had summoned.
