The crowd was still completely stunned after Lark's announcement. It had all happened too fast.
Lucy had lost? Just like that?!
It was hard to wrap their heads around. Both of them hadn't even properly gone all out, let alone use their domains.
However, just as the healers were about to go down to the arena, something happened.
"Hey, look at the timer!" One person in the crowd shouted, and like a chain reaction, everyone's head turned towards the timer, and something hardly anyone thought possible started to occur.
It started to count, up.
From zero, it went to one, and then two, and so on.
Back on the arena, Ivan instantly fekt that something was wrong. And not a moment later, the arena started to shake.
No, it felt like the very fabric of reality started to tremble as if something horrifying was trying to descend.
