The referee machine once again sounded its mechanical voice, and a giant holographic screen projected in the center of the arena began to display the data of both parties. Simultaneously, a Drukhari / Dark Aeldari announcer walked into the center of the arena, clad in a magnificent Eldar gown. His voice, loud and rhythmic, began the introduction (referencing UFC announcer, Bruce Buffer):
"Ladies and gentlemen! This is the main event of the evening!"
The cheers from the entire audience exploded instantly, especially when they saw the announcer robot's dramatic movements. Many stood up, waving their glow sticks.
"And~~~~~! NOW! This is the moment you've all been waiting for!!!"
"It's~~~~ TIME!!!!"
The entire audience instantly erupted, with cheers and screams rising and falling. Li Feng in the VIP section even clapped a few times before adjusting the white sheet draped over him.
It must be said, the Drukhari / Dark Aeldari are truly skilled in this regard. The atmosphere was incredibly well-created; one might have thought they had arrived at a UFC match.
The announcer waved his right hand, pointing to one side of the arena, and continued in an even more impassioned tone:
"Fighting out of the GOLDEN corner~~! She stands six feet one inch tall, weighing in at one-hundred and fifty-seven pounds~~!"
He paused, gesturing to guide the audience's attention, his voice growing more infectious:
"She is the LEGEND of the Adepta Sororitas! The UNDYING warrior of faith! The nightmare of Daemon Princes and the champion of the Emperor's LIGHT~~!"
Accompanied by the announcer's passionate shouts, Celestine slowly spread her wings, and golden light radiated from her body, even overpowering the arena's lights.
The longsword in her hand emitted a warm yet blazing radiance. The will of countless warriors seemed to be condensed on its blade, causing the entire audience to hold its breath.
At this moment, not only the few humans present but even many Drukhari / Dark Aeldari spectators felt a suffocating sense of oppression. Celestine merely stood there, as if she were the embodiment of justice and hope.
Lamia, the succubus, narrowed her eyes, clearly disdainful of this luminous "performance," but her vigilance towards Celestine quietly rose to its peak.
"From~~ Terra~~! Representing the HOLY Imperium of Man!! Ladies and gentlemen~~! I give you~~ the Living Saint~~ SAAAAAAAAAINT~~ CELESTIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!"
The audience erupted in applause and screams. Even the arrogant Drukhari / Dark Aeldari were deeply shaken by the impeccable divine aura emanating from Celestine.
The announcer then turned to the other side of the arena, his tone shifting, carrying a hint of sinister charm:
"And~~ fighting out of the SHADOW corner~~~! She stands six feet three inches tall, weighing in at one-hundred and thirty-two pounds~~!"
The holographic screen switched to a graceful yet extremely dangerous Lamia succubus, the camera focusing on her armor covered in eerie runes and her sinister smile.
"She is the BLADE of shadows! The seductress of nightmares and the assassin of a thousand kings~~!"
The announcer grew more agitated, as if to engrave the terrifying image of this warrior deeply into every audience member's mind:
"Representing the DEPRAVED city of Commorragh! Ladies and gentlemen~~! Give it up for~~ the LETHAL LAMIEN~~ LAAAAAAAAEMIIIIIIIIAA~~!!!"
The cheers of the Drukhari / Dark Aeldari audience immediately drowned out everything else. Many stood up, screaming wildly for her, while spectators of other races felt a chill from the Lamia succubus's deadly beauty.
As the announcer exited, the referee machine issued a command: "Both warriors ready—the battle is about to begin!"
Celestine spread her wings and slowly floated up, her golden radiance making her appear like an angel descending. Across from her, the Lamia succubus, Lamia, smiled even more alluringly, her dagger trembling slightly, as if awaiting the moment to taste blood.
The referee machine then waved its flag, announcing the start of the battle: "First round of gladiatorial combat—begin!"
Lamia wasted no time. Before the referee's voice had fully faded, she had already transformed into an afterimage, rushing towards Celestine. Her twin daggers cut two cold arcs through the air, aimed directly at Celestine's throat and chest.
However, Celestine stood firm as a rock. She raised her longsword, radiating holy light, and with a gentle flick, it clashed with the Lamia's daggers. At that instant, sparks flew, even carrying a golden light wave that forced Lamia back a few steps.
"Hmph, it seems she's not just a golden bird-person who glows," Lamia sneered, but her eyes were full of caution. She readjusted her stance, preparing for the next wave of attack.
"If you surrender now, I might consider making your suffering less," Celestine said calmly, even with a hint of pity.
"Surrender?" Lamia scoffed softly. "You will pay for your arrogance!"
The so-called "Lamia succubus" is actually an elite unit of the Drukhari / Dark Aeldari. They are Commorragh socialites, Archons' mistresses, and primary users of the Drukhari / Dark Aeldari social app "Little Black Book."
They are much like the beautiful women in gangster movies who "warm the bed" and test for poison (and administer poison) for crime bosses. Lamia succubi come from the mysterious Sisterhood of Lhilitu. Besides possessing "skills" that can make men "run out of ammunition," they are also among the The Galaxy / Milky Way's top poison masters, dedicated to developing the most undetectable, imaginative, and unusual poison effects.
For example, the slow self-cannibalism of flesh or brains swelling until the skull explodes. As the saying goes, behind every successful Dark Eldar there is a great Lamia succubus. They often serve as the Archon's most capable assistants, offering advice and wielding far more power than a mere concubine could ever achieve.
Lamia, in particular, is Victor's chief succubus, primarily responsible for external assassinations and Victor's personal close-quarters security.
