The fight between Scarlet and the paladin had been going on for fifty five minutes and showed no signs of slowing down because both fighters were still standing. It was coming to an hour and both opponents were still throwing out powerful moves, tossing each other around like ragdolls and pushing themselves to the limit. Ordinarily, the audience would be bored by now, restless for a new fight but in this case, they hoped it would keep going. All around, one could hear comments like,
"The paladin is going to win. I am assuring you, the paladin is winning."
"You are crazy; the hound is taking it tonight."
"My money was worth it, this must be the crowning fight of the night."
Others who did not make it the virtual world were watching the fight on star net. The number of viewers of this division one fight had surprisingly caught up to a division three fight taking place at the same time.
