Cries of victory and loud cheers erupted from all around the arena. The anti-human section was especially celebratory after seeing Eva take the massive hit. Some were already ecstatically chanting “Crush The Ape” in absolute unison, over and over.
Eva’s vision blurred as she fought to stay conscious. Her mind raced as she tried to push her body to stand up. She felt her blood pounding all around her skull as her head throbbed with pain.
She did her best to focus on her opponent, but she was far too frazzled. All that she could tell was that Orsethii was severely out of breath, but was slowly advancing towards her many meters away.
Her right eye stung, and when she reached to ease it, found it slick with some sort of viscous liquid. So she kept it squinted, though it was painful to do.
Blood, she reasoned. Left’s okay, at least.
