Rex chose the daggers and spear. He felt that these were currently the best choices for him. As for which one he would ultimately choose, he was not sure.
Rex decided to use what little time he had left to check the locker type things around. The first one had a suit in it.
"Battle Armor Suit: Gives user the choice to decide how stats will be for next battle. Whatever stats are moved are just temporary and the suit will go into storage after battle."
Rex liked the Battle Armor Suit and since it would go with him anyways. Why wait for it?
Upon getting into a large box for the Battle Armor Suit. Rex got a notification.
"Choose design inside your mind for the suit"
Rex thought about. The suit had to be flexible enough to move quickly and stealthy. It also had to had good protect at all the right areas. Since the theme for the weapons was black, he too went with a black theme.
He etched out the areas for the chest. The ribs, abs, and breast areas. Rex felt like putting a pair of wings on the front but decided against it.
He got to design a belt to keep the daggers currently in. The could not be seen and the design of the suit allowed them to freely move to the feet for a stab or quickly grabbed to cut a throat.
As for the shoes, they were completely made out of black steel. They weighed just under a three metric tons. He could easily walk in them but the way to lift his foot and make a kick was different. He had show he was about to launch a kick and could not physically stop it.
Since he could not do it without stopping. He tried it while walking. The motion was much smoother and did not really affect him all that much.
A sudden kick to the side of the head could be the difference between winning and losing. Getting a little feel for them now. Rex looked inside the next locket style thing.
He found a cloak. This cloak was made from a ??? substance. Since Rex could not identity it, he just put it on. When he did, he felt the entire weight of the Abyssal World on his shoulders.
A notification came in just in time.
"Turn off all Defense and put everything into speed and offense."
Rex did just that. He felt much better. The weight was nothing and even the shoes were easily liftable now. Getting a couple of jabs and kicks in, a bell rang signaling the fighters back into the arena.
The first one in was the Tenth Son. He was hyping the crowd for himself. A golden cloak with a golden suit. This was the the material made out of the cloak. The difference in the suit was that the Tenth Son put wings on his chest.
Then Rex came out. He blended in perfectly with the dark environment. It almost like he was made for this type of entertainment for the crowd watching.
A golden warrior vs a sleek assassin. This was what the crowd named the fight. The Dark Abyss wondered why so much Black Steel had been used here. The ore was truly expensive and very hard to come by here.
Yet, the being gave the warriors the Black Steel and the unknown material to use.
When the duo were ready to fight. The being came down in the form of an elderly woman.
"Now, now you two. You both look DeLIcIoUS to DEVOUR! But I have regulations to follow, and so do you. Now, when a loser is decided, all benefits from the loser will go to the winner. The winner will also get one wish granted from me, while also being returned to his planet or Realm.
Furthermore, if the person in black wins. He will get the chance to visit the actually body of the being known as the Dark Abyss."
The crowd roared with excitement when this news came. The being calmed down the crowd.
"If the person in gold wins, he gets a chance to mess around not only with the women belonging to the loser but their children and a select few beauties across the Universe!"
Rex felt his blood boil. He was not going to allow him to mess around with the women who have cherished him for years.
The Tenth Son was already getting favored to win again. Every three dog-like creatures who voted ultimately for the Tenth Son, only one would vote for Rex.
The Spear of Odjun was feeling Rex's emotions greatly. It wanted nothing but to do the job it was supposed to, kill the Tenth Son immediately.
"Rules for the match: Weapons that the two of you chose, as well as hand to hand combat with kicking including, are the only weapons allowed in the match. If any others are tossed into the arena or used by the fighters themselves. I will immediately DEVOUR!"
The entire crowd along with Rex and the Tenth Son felt the threat from the being.
"Continuing on, once a fighter hits the wall. A five minute break will ensure. If the same fighter, hits the wall more than five times. It is declared as the lost."
Rex felt that this was going to be a long and drawn out match with that ruling. Simply, if one needs to recover. A simple kick could force the opponent into the wall.
For a grand total of fifty minutes for resting. The match itself could now last until the end of next week.
"If no winner is decided by the end of the day. The person with the most hits into the wall is declared the loser. If the total is tied, than tomorrow will be the first one to hit the wall will lose."
Rex felt that this was to make his thoughts go crazy because of how strict this fight is becoming.
"In order to make it fairer, each hour a shift will change. The suit and cloak will make it harder for that person to fly into the wall. Furthermore, to see how gets to choose how this change happens. A bowl with equal naming for Black and Gold is getting handed to a person in the crowd. That will decide how the ruling starts."
In the crowd, a large clear bowl could be seen in front of everyone. The dog-like creature was afraid to choose one. The being calmed down the person for it to choose the one.
"And the winner is,"
