As the match had begun, an outrageous man began to plow through the contestants as if they were fodder. He knocked them away with ease as he advanced towards Hottan and Seth, casting no emotion in his eyes or face, his name was Esa, a man enhanced by cultists to gain extraordinary power. " I've heard the legends about you, Hottan, how you've fought bravely in Bala..." He stated, walking up to him immediately.
The two had backed away from the warrior, they hadn't seen anything like him before, a man who wouldn't even have a demented smirk on his face as he killed. He acted as if he were a machine, only following his ambitions without displaying joy or fear. " Fight me, coward! " Esa shouted, leaping into the air and dashing downward, delivering a hard punch to Seth's gut.
The sorcerer fell onto the ground and groaned in pain, he grasped his stomach area and felt a sharp burn in it as his robes melted off of him. " You're no magician...how is this possible...." Seth Thought To Himself, tightening his grip on his stomach area as the pain only worsened.
Esa delivered a kick towards Hottan's face, causing him to be sent back towards the edge of the arena. " Fight back already! " He shouted, walking towards the Dragon Hybrid once more.
" Now..you've pissed me off! " Hottan shouted, materializing a sword in his hand and shoving the blade into Esa's chest, only to jump onto the tall figure, and pull the blade out, delivering a barrage of swift slashes towards him, pushing Esa back to the other side of the arena.
Suddenly, the man began to shrivel up like a raisin as he was being beaten to death by the dragon hybrid. A force was stopping the two from advancing even further, a hand had pushed Esa in place, until his body was nothing more than a lifeless husk. " And here we have it folks, it seems that the absorbing sorceress Selena has managed to make Esa her latest victim! " The Announcer shouted, causing the crowds to get more and more riled up.
" See ya later losers! " Selena smiled, waving the two goodbye.
Hottan walked back to Seth, ignoring the strange woman he had just encountered. " Are you okay? " Hottan asked, kneeling down at the sorcerer.
" I'll be fine..but I'll need you to stall while I heal myself..." Seth stared, slowly healing his wounds.
" It appears that you will be my next opponent...." A strange, armored warrior stated, walking menacingly towards the two.
" Stall I shall then..." The Dragon Hybrid stated, materializing a sword in his hand and casting away his shorter and more swifter blade.
