Rising to a staggering 10 meters, the golden lion stood like a living catastrophe, its sheer size bending the will of everything around it.

Each step carried the weight of ruin, the ground and sands cracking faintly beneath its massive paws as if the earth itself feared being touched.

Its body was colossal and perfectly built for destruction...layers of dense, rippling muscle moved beneath a coat of radiant gold, gleaming like hammered metal kissed by sunlight. .

Flames roared from its neck in a blazing crown, not flickering weakly, but surging in violent, living currents. The fire burned with a deep, searing gold mixed with hints of crimson, casting shifting shadows that danced like tormented spirits. The heat alone warped the air, making its form shimmer like an illusion born from a nightmare.

While Its eyes burned brighter than the flames themselves...twin furnaces of fury and ancient dominance... A sovereign of destruction...an embodiment of wrath given form, crowned in fire, and destined to rule through fear.

PRIDE!! PRIDE!! PRIDE!! KILL THEM ALL!!!

The chant as if orchestrated again and again until all of the beings seated made a one resounding sound!

Quinn can only stare at the dreadful being standing...he didn’t have the guts to proclaimed that he can defeat that thing... It’s presence itself made one buckle...

Even Lyra stare awed in her face...

"Fufu...for your information this beings are just tier 5...only categorized as Mid tier beings...not to mention tier 6..." Alice paused staring at Quinn then she continued

" The true ruler of this world are the higher tiered... remember that Quinn. So no matter how much you plead, begged and cry they don’t really give a single damned thing, so better remember that...It also applies to me and Lyra..." Alice spoke...while Quinn can feel a burning desires hidden within the veil of her eyes.

Nod...

Quinn nodded his head...he is not insecure though. How much time they managed to reached that current tier? 50 years? 100? Or even more? He didn’t give a damned as long as he can grow steady.

They watched again after the next introduction of a new Champion!

"THE BEING KNOWN AS RONIN!!! ECLIPSE!!!"

The being stood apart from the world like a blade left unsheathed silent, dangerous, and tall. At nearly two meters, his figure loomed with a quiet authority, not bulky, but honed every line of his body shaped by discipline and countless battles.

A weathered ronin hat cast a deep shadow over his face, its wide brim trembling slightly with each passing breeze.

Beneath it, only small part of him could be seen a sharp jaw, the faint glint of eyes that held neither mercy nor hesitation. His expression remained hidden, but his presence spoke clearly enough: this was a man who had walked too far down a path of blood to ever turn back.

In his hand rested a katana, held low and steady, as if it were an extension of his very being. The blade bore a quiet gleam, its edge whispering of precision... It didn’t grip it tightly, the weapon itself obeyed him like a loyal shadow....

Its garments were simple, a worn-out robe that told stories of travel, of rain, dust, and battlefields long abandoned, a wandering soul bound to no master, no home....

Quinn didn’t need to hear their chant because it is wild enough to punctured his ears!...

The whole introduction of champions lasted for minutes...as the championships stood right at their doors, unmoving.

They are really prideful enough to make a moved...but the only thing Quinn noticed is the limited numbers of championss...only 12 filled the blood red sands..., compared to his battle who got a whooping 72 candidates!

" Now if you asked The reason why only 12 grandmasters standing now...it is because getting to tier 5 is very hard and slaving a tier 5 is even harder that’s why they are not the many compared to lower tiered.."

" But...will they really die? Just for these exhibition?".

" Of course not... The higher seats won’t allow that to happen...thats their entertainment and way of accumulating money."

"Ohhh the battle is starting..." Lyra said... making both of them to focus on the orb..

"LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!!" The host shouted, as the battle between champion will begin...

"BOOMM!!!"

The the first champion who moved was hulking 5 meters tall Punch! The earth shattered beneath his feet making a gaping hole in where it previously stood!

Quinn wasn’t able to follow body of Punch! The speed it exerted was really fast that its body blurred...and for a moment there only a paused...but it was followed by earthquake! The whole colosseum shook feeling like it’s crumbling down...

And then... BOOM!!!

The heavy punch landed on one of the champion...a beast with a form of turtle.covering it’s enormous body with a shell!

Punch wanted to snap it’s head but is was fast enough to take cover!

Whamm!!!

The blow that carried the world bounced back forcing Punch to buckle! Yet it didn’t have enough time to regain it’s bearings because a blinding lights erupted from where the blow landed! The full force exerted by Punch was reflected and turned into a kinetic energy!

HUMMM!!!!

The impact made a humming sound that the surroundings turned into a living inferno from the explosion!

Punch take all the full burnt of his own attack! Yet it’s glistening golden skin was unblemish! It refused to be tainted by such heat!

ROAR!!!!

Pride didn’t wait anymore as golden pillars with a enormous size fall from the skys!! 11 pillars went to everyone! Trying to pulverized them into a one fill swoop!

"PILLAR OF PRIDE! WHAT A GRAND ENTRANCE!!!" the host forced his body to take the full burnt of the Carnage happening inside!

"Holy...what kind of insanity is that?!!" Quinn shouted not knowing what to say!

The whole sequence only lasted for 5 seconds yet so many things happened!
