*gulp*
"Hey..."
a man In a black knights outfit raised his hand
"at ease knights"
immediately all of the knights lowered their spears.
"sorry about that, your a bit late to the event. there have been quite a few attacks on the city lately so we are on guard. please step forward so we can clear you"
the room they were in was quite bright, it had wooden floor boards and black bricks on the walls, oddly enough blue balls of light were scattered around the room illuminating it.
Chase took a step forward and a girl in a robe stepped forward to meet him.
"this might tickle a bit"
A circular green crest lit up on the girls hand, she slowly hovered her hand from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head.
"he's clear"
the Black knight nodded In response
"well sir you may enter the arena"
"Thank you"
The Black knight stepped forward and opened the door for Chase. Chase stepped through.
"Woah!"
Chase couldn't help but gasp at the sight, the place was massive, much larger then he thought a hidden mountain arena could be. He was behind a glass pane, he could see out onto the arena floor from there. The place he was standing in looked very modern, the wall with the door he came from was bright white and there was a soft carpet beneath his feet the wall in front of him was made entirely out of glass, it seemed to be a very large circle with the arena in the middle.
The corners of the hallway had long lines of magic that gave off a bright white glow which lit up the space, but perhaps more impressive was that outside of the glass the arena was lit up by 30 or so floating balls of light, they were a mix of colors, but they all gave off white light.
'this place is so cool!!'
He didn't have many options so he headed to the right and walked along the glass wall.
'wow this place is awesome, now that I have some time to think, those spears the guards were holding were very odd. they looked normal, but they gave off a weird energy, I could feel it trying to repel me away and what that guard was talking about was also interesting, they are repeatedly being attacked, sounds like the perfect opportunity to complete my condition and score a few points with this kingdom'
Chase continued his long walk down the hall until he saw another door. it looked alot like a elevator. Chase put his hand on the door and it opened. He quickly stepped inside and saw a few buttons
"hmm, I guess I should go to the arena seating"
*ding*
the elevator began to rise, it took a second but the elevator eventually hit the correct floor and gave a ringing noise when it was time to exit, the door slid open and Chase finally found where all the people were.
'wow, there have to be thousands of people here'
anywhere chase looked he saw people, he stood at the top of the stands and there were probably 50 or 60 rows of wooden bleachers leading downward. It felt like chase stepped into a different era. the very modern looking hall with nice white lights was gone, instead everything was made of wood and gave off a very taverny vibe with the scent of booze being in the air.
'beer really is everywhere, even in a different world'
What confused chase was that he should have been able to see the bleachers from the glass hallway from earlier. he soon noticed a slight distortion at the bottom of the bleachers, like one was looking through glass.
'huh, maybe illusion magic'
Chase walked down the steps until he reached the stomach height wall at the bottom of the steps. he reached his hand out and it was like touching a hard wall.
'a force field'
He pressed his hand on it for awhile before backing away.
'I guess I should find somewhere to sit.'
Chase looked around and walked for awhile, similarly to the glass hallway the bleachers were just another large circle that surrounded the arena. it took awhile but he found a spot right between a old looking tiger man and a middle aged human girl.
'this will do'
as soon as Chase sat down a hologram of a strong middle aged man with a beard appeared. he almost looked human except for his very small height.
"Welcome back folks, I hope you enjoyed your intermission. Our previous fight was spectacular. Aquarius pulling off the victory against Turf. A very close game from two very powerful fighters. Now for are next battle, DD versus Solax. these fighters look more promising than the last, with both being managers of opposing guilds. Good luck to are fighters!"
DD appeared in the middle of the arena through a mist of black smoke, it looked like he teleported. He wore an all black costume and had duel katanas on his back. He also had many black beads along his belt. he had black hair and black eyes. everything about him was very dark.
Solax making an equally impressive entrance fell from the sky and landed just opposite to his opponent. the earth beneath him cracked when he hit it. It seemed like two polar opposites were going to fight. Solax wore bright white armor with gold accents. He looked a lot like a knight. he had a standard sword and basic looking armor apart from the color. what was most shocking of all were the wings that sprouted from his back. He looked like an angel.
[holy magic user detected. (holy magic deals significant damage to demons, you will gain bonuses for killing them]
'what? this is new to me'
Solax walked up to DD " I will prove that my guild is superior to your guild of misfits and idiots"
" you can act like your guild is better than ours, but if it wasn't for your leader you guys wouldnt even be considered within the top 3 guilds."
both men took a step back.
the Holographic man reappeared. "well these two certainly know how to make an entrance. looks like a lot is riding on this battle. let's not delay any longer."
A Holographic timer appeared with 30 seconds on it.
The two men didn't even get into a fighting stance, they both just stared each other down.
'if looks could kill'
"3, 2, 1, FIGHT!!"
