บท 249: Resurrection

Monumental silence gripped the arena post Cervantez's attack on Leo.

'TheBoss' was the crowd favorite to win the grand tournament by a massive margin, however, the home hero seemed to have been vanquished by lightning as his dead body sizzled on the ground while his skin appeared to be charred underneath his burnt robes.

"Did he just kill one of the Empire's most promising young talents just like that?"

"Is he dead? Father? Is The Boss really dead?" A small kid wearing a Virex mask asked his father, as he felt anxious seeing his hero fall.

Overall, there was not a single individual in the audience that was cheering, as everyone felt deeply disturbed by the scene they were witnessing.

This wasn't a clean fight, this wasn't a clash between Titans. This was a one sided mauling, where one of the two fighters brought a gun to a knife fight and absolutely shot down the other one to shreds.
