The announcer's voice echoed across the grand Royal Arena once more, bringing with it the final details that would govern the battle royale.
"To ensure a fair competition, a barrier will be placed over the arena," he announced, gesturing to the mages standing ready around the perimeter. With a synchronized movement, they raised their hands, and a shimmering, translucent dome began to encase the entire arena.
The crowd watched in awe as the barrier solidified, pulsing with faint light. "This barrier will restrict all combatants' power to the Lunar Tier Adept Stage. Additionally, no killing will be permitted. Participants may surrender by stepping to the edge or announcing their withdrawal."
