To the onlookers, especially the Dimensari race, the battle seemed to be reaching its conclusion.
From the beginning of the battle, while many among the Dimensari had been shocked by Atticus's prowess— especially when he managed to land a hit on Carius— they had never once doubted the outcome.
Among the paragons of the Dimensari, and even their citizens, there was no excitement. Cheering for their apex against a race as insignificant as the humans would be an insult to their pride as a superior race.
Meanwhile, most of the other races' paragons who had kept an eye on Atticus's screen were equally shocked. To see a human push a Dimensari to such an extent was unimaginable. Yet, to them, the battle was drawing to a close.
This sentiment was shared by all in the coliseum, except for one person: Magnus. His gaze remained steady, his entire aura calm.
