Team One stood opposite Team Three.Team Two faced Team Four.The air in the coliseum trembled with the weight of expectation.
"BEGIN!"
The announcer's amplified voice thundered, and the entire arena erupted into chaos.
The heavy knight of Team One was the first to move—charging forward with ground-splitting force, his greatsword dragging across the platform and screeching like metal claws on stone. Sparks flared beneath the blade as he ran. Despite his weight and bulky armor, his speed defied logic. Each stride cracked the black surface beneath him.
He roared, swinging his sword in a massive arc aimed at the entire front line of Team Three. The impact came with a clang that echoed through the stands, forcing two of Team Three's swordsmen to block together just to absorb the strike. Their combined guard trembled under the blow, boots grinding against the ground until both dropped to one knee.
