Quash threw his challenge and was pulled into the arena shortly after. When he opened his eyes, he was already standing in the seemingly endless plain of white tiles. He saw his opponent standing 100 meters away from him.
They both didn't move even when the match started.
"You said you could beat me?"
The Barbarian spoke. His voice was rough and heavy. His eyes locked onto Quash. He had his war hammer out. He was fully focused. He had been underestimated time and time again. But this time, he felt different.
He wasn't underestimated by his opponent like usual, because his opponent knew what he was capable of. But there was something else that made it seem like a fact rather than an empty statement.
He wanted to know what gave his opponent such confidence. Was it some kind of artifact? Or one-time use? But it wouldn't matter because if the caster loses before they could activate the thing, what's the point.
