Testing Loyalty (1)

The crowd erupted into cheers at that declaration! Nobody could believe that Adam, who almost got knocked out in the first round, won the whole thing! Sam looked like she was about to explode in anger. The only thing holding her back was that the decision had already been made!

Jason watched on with excitement as Adam carefully released Sam from the Orochi's grasp. Even he seemed surprised that his final gambit paid off in the end! The whole crowd turned to look at a personal box set near the top of the arena, all on its own.

A figure emerged from within it, standing on a metal disk. As the circular platform floated down, Jason could finally get a good look at the Guardian called Rust. Especially since she was publicly recognised as one of the five most powerful individuals that served the Lord of the region.
