章節 581: Nightmare Bliss

The sun hung high in the sky, casting long shadows across the grand arena. Another match of the Martial Arts Competition was about to begin, and the crowd buzzed with anticipation as two combatants prepared to face off.

On one side stood Mizushima Katsue, the Fire Priestess. She waved her hand to the crowd with a radiant and graceful smile adorned her face. Her red and gold sexy robes were pretty revealing to highlight her curves. Embroidered with fancy designs of swans and flames, it billowed as she floated to the arena. Her auburn hair glowed like embers, and her eyes, warm and intense, flickered like fiery flames.

On the other side, Azrael, the Shadow Assassin, already waited in the arena. Cloaked in black, his face was hidden beneath a hood; only his piercing, cold crimson eyes were visible. Where the Fire Priestess radiated light and fiery energy, his aura seemed to absorb it, pulling the light around him into the void and shadowy darkness of his presence.
