The win boosted our morale a bit but the situation quickly changed again, as another alien entered the arena.
It was brown-skinned, a bit taller than a human creature wearing a round bamboo-like hat, just the color was black, and short, dark pants. It had strange silver lines going through its whole body, and those had a strange shine to them.
He was also carrying a stack of swords cut straight out of a steel plate. They didn't even have proper hilts or guards. Just a blade and a dull fragment you could use to hold the thing. All of them were tied with a rope.
The alien threw them to the ground, untied, and started sticking in the sand around himself, keeping enough distance to move freely.
Edward used this moment to catch his breath, and turned off some of his skills. The discharges stopped jumping all over his body, but the dark clouds, with the occasional sound of thunder, remained.
