Chapter 48 - First battle

The colosseum was a large underground architectural marvel that stood a hundred meters high and several hundred meters in length. It was decorated with the finest bloodstones and white marble.

It was designed such that the light was reflected off of its walls and illuminated the arena at the center. The colosseum was built underground, so it needed all the light it could get. Only one source of light provided the entire structure to be illuminated.

As Keith followed Rufus to the spectator's area, he noticed it was divided into several blocks. There were gaps within the seats for each faction.

Many factions were already seated and already prepared their warriors for the tournament.

"Welcome to the Spirit Colosseum, where you get the experience of a lifetime. I, Eduard, welcome all the esteemed guests."

A loud voice greeted all the spectators and appeared inside the arena. The light was focused on the arena and provided enough visibility to see his appearance. The host was a vampire at the baron stage, roughly two meters in height, and a very well-built physique.

He was wearing a red mask that covered half of his face. Looking around he entertained the guests with his silky words.

"Now that most of you are present, we will commence the Spirit Colosseum fortnight battle. We will choose one warrior from each faction and group. They will fight until one of them surrenders or dies.." A smirk appeared on his face as he said this.
