Clash

The audience watched the contestants fighting with shocked expressions. 

Almost none of them were competitive!

It was terrifying to see what a single creature could do to Martial Artists of all kinds. There were only two Martial Squires out of the forty who were able to not get overwhelmed.

One was the reigning champion, Squire Meera. She had ended up getting locked in a stalemate with the abyssfeeder.

Their battle was hard to comprehend, it was almost incoherent. Both sides seemed to change rapidly, so much so that nobody could make sense of what was happening to them. 

In comparison, the battle that Rui was undergoing was a lot more comprehensive.

He blasted away at the abysskeeper from afar with everything he had, refusing to allow it to come closer.
