Chapter 27 - DESERT COLOSSEUM 2

Once inside, the grim reality of the arena slapped them in the face like a hot sandstorm. The walls were stained with the blood of countless battles, and the air was thick with the metallic scent of death. The third persona of Revy took in the scene with a cold, analytical gaze, his mind already calculating their chances of survival and victory.

Bibi and Sera exchanged a determined look. For them, this was more than just a battle for Elir and her father; it was a fight against the very essence of the chaos that had ravaged their world. The lion at Sera's side let out a low, rumbling growl, its eyes fixed on the looming gates that separated them from the arena.

The three of them stepped into the colosseum, their footsteps echoing through the ancient stone structure. The air was charged with tension, and the scent of fear was almost palpable. They were immediately thrust into the underbelly of the arena, a maze of cells and corridors where warriors and beasts awaited their turn to entertain the bloodthirsty crowd.

Revy's third persona took the lead, his eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of Elir or the dragon. The clank of metal and the roar of monstrous beasts grew louder as they approached the heart of the colosseum. They knew that time was running out; each passing moment brought Elir and the dragon closer to a fate they could not bear to imagine.

As they navigated the twisting passageways, they encountered a group of warriors, their faces twisted into snarls of contempt. They recognized the insignia of the colosseum's elite gladiators. Without hesitation, Revy's third persona drew the Red Abyss, its blade whispering through the air. The fight was brutal, each strike a dance of steel and sand, but they emerged victorious, their resolve only strengthened by the blood that painted the desert floor.

The girl named Sera, whose father had been stolen by the colosseum's clutches, had found an unexpected kinship with the two men driven by a similar vendetta. Her eyes, once filled with despair, now shone with a fierce determination to save her father. The lion at her side roared, as if echoing her defiance.

The sound of the battle reached the ears of the colosseum's guards, and soon they were surrounded by a sea of armored soldiers, their weapons glinting menacingly in the flickering torchlight. But the trio, fueled by anger and the need to save their comrades, did not waver.

With a battle cry that seemed to shake the very sands of the desert, they charged into the fray. The Red Abyss sliced through the air, leaving a crimson trail in its wake, and Sera's lion pounced with the grace of a desert storm. Bibi, ever the silent sentinel, moved like a shadow, his knife finding its mark with unerring precision.

The battle was fierce, the clang of swords and the snarl of beasts filling the air. Yet amidst the chaos, the bond between the three grew stronger, each fighting for their own reasons yet united by a single goal - to free the innocents from the colosseum's cruel grasp.

As they fought their way deeper into the bowels of the colosseum, the walls grew slick with the blood of their enemies. The screams of the dying seemed to blend with the cheers of the distant crowd, a grim reminder of the brutality that awaited them in the arena above.

Finally, they stumbled upon a chamber that housed the beasts and gladiators slated for the day's entertainment. There, chained and bruised, they found Elir and the young red dragon. The prince looked up, his eyes widening in shock and relief, as Revy's third persona approached, sword in hand.

With renewed vigor, they set about freeing the dragon and Elir, their movements swift and sure. The chains fell away, and the dragon's eyes lit up with a fiery determination. The prince looked at them with a mix of gratitude and terror, understanding that their path would now lead them into the very jaws of the beast they sought to topple.

The group made their way through the bowels of the colosseum, the roar of the crowd above growing louder with each step. The stench of fear and blood grew stronger, mingling with the dry dust that clung to their skin and armor. As they approached the gladiator's entrance, they saw the shadows of the arena's monstrosities pacing in anticipation of the carnage to come.
