After his first battle, Aren had pretty much lost interest in this round of the tournament, so he walked over to a distant pillar and sat there, with Athena beside him.
They watched the fights from afar, neither of them showing much interest. Time passed slowly, hours slipping by, until the first round finally came to a close. Almost immediately, the next round began.
Ten people remained.
Once again, they would fight one-on-one.
And the very first person called up was Aren.
His opponent was none other than the same guy he had beaten before the tournament had even officially started.
As Aren walked forward and saw the man standing there, he was genuinely surprised. In his mind, he hadn't expected the guy to make it this far, but somehow, he had.
The moment the man saw Aren, his body jerked back violently.
Memories of pain flooded his mind.
His eyes trembled in fear as sweat instantly formed on his face.
To him, Aren wasn't human anymore.
He was a heartless monster.
