Chapitre 155: True Freedom

I smiled at the irony of the familiar location as my ears were submerged in the deafening cries of an ecstatic crowd. The blaring horns of combat and the robotic announcer followed shortly after.

I snapped back to the fight, avoiding the blast of lightning and anticipating an attack through the dark smoke.
