Thomas looked at Darian with a cold, serious gaze, then announced the result. "New Arcadia Empire wins."
The spectators from the Celestial Order Empire stayed quiet, while the high-ranking military officers that had come with the young fighters sighed and went to help the injured guy whose sword had been broken right at the start.
Everyone understood now—if Darian had wanted to, he could've wiped out the whole Celestial Order group instantly. Those kids got off kind of lucky; none of them had been completely humiliated in front of everyone. To the audience, they just looked like brave warriors who gave it their all against an absurdly strong opponent.
The second fight of the day had ended the same way—another crushing win by just one guy. And this time, no one in the arena dared to question Darian's overwhelming strength. Anyone who tried to say something like that military officer before would just be laughed at.
