Astaroth fell to his knees, sweating and panting. The last five minutes had been nerve-wracking for him.
If at any moment, Stinger had used his teleport skill, he would have been unprepared. Luckily for him, the man had waited for the opportunity he was creating.
It was a matter of luck and mind games, and he had won. Astaroth looked up to see the board change, as his name slid up one bracket.
He smiled widely as he dropped to his back. He was then transported out of the arena, and into the now almost empty bleachers, while the next fight was about to begin.
The remaining 28 players were all loosely sitting next to each other. A large chunk of them were pro players, with a few dark horses amongst them.
Astaroth was one such dark horse in this competition, with most of the others being Athena, I'die, and Gulnur. There were a few others too, but he mostly focused on them.
Because they were walking towards him, accompanied by Phoenix.
I have created a server for the readers. It is a place where you will be able to discuss the novel and talk about cool things you would like to see happen in the novel :)
