Mars slowly breathed out and opened his eyes, his mind was clear and he was ready to fight when the the old demon patted him on the shoulder and pointed to a pair of demons, both of them only had one horn each and explained
"that's Dax and his son"
"....got it"
Mars looked around at the other opponents and found most of them were looking at him with disdainful expressions, seeing this Mars' casual smile widened a little before he asked the old demon
"old demon this is a knockout tournament right?"
"yeah it is, if you lose then that's that"
"okay"
Mars' smile widened a little more as he waited for the first round to start, a few minutes later the entire arena quieted down just as Mars was about to ask what happened he noticed all the demons were looking in the same diction and also looked over
'....so that's how it is'
