After a long exchange, Kael and Jones paused, while blood petals could still be seen slowly falling onto the combat platform.
[OHHH! What a great exchange we're witnessing on this second day!]
The announcer shouted at the top of his lungs, raising the crowd's excitement to new heights. Since most of them were commoners, this type of combat was what they enjoyed the most.
Kael, breathing steadily, smiled slightly when he heard the crowd erupt.
This was exactly what he wanted to achieve with his fight. The more exciting it was, the more attention he would get and the more people would talk about him. That way, the news about the destroyed villages would fade into the background.
And that was what would benefit him the most. Because when everything blew up, he would just reap the rewards he had worked so hard for all this time.
On the other hand, Jones was breathing rapidly. He had never faced this type of person who handled the flow of the fight so well.
