Bab 132: Orsethii Reborn, Pt 1

Eva faced off against opponent after opponent in the Viper Pit. She saw victory after victory as the blood of her enemies flowed freely at her feet. And with every victory came the price - each time she was cut, beat, stabbed, crushed. But not once did she fall. Instead, she was the only one that stood at the end.

Just as her opponents fell before her, so did her odds. Every win instilled a measure of confidence in her, and more and more bets flew her way. In the beginning she had few cheers from the spectators, but that grew greatly over the course of nine fights.

By the time she cut down the Second Seed of Tier Five, nearly half the seats cheered for her, and yet her numbers were still 10 to 1.

Those who watched her began to truly understand her capabilities, though there were plenty who still wanted to watch her fail. To see her blood spilled. To see any human blood spilled.
