The battle had turned around so quickly, and it was this fight that truly made them realize what a cruel battle between equals looked like, unlike the previous one-sided stomps.
The earlier fights weren't dull, but in the end, they were like adults overpowering children, without much to see. Those fights only proved the strength of Divine Guards, which had long been deeply ingrained in people's hearts. So, for the audience, there was little suspense.
But this fight was different. The Divine Guard surprisingly didn't take any action, instead letting the Flying Serpent Demon and Spellcasters, the champions of the past two months, compete.
The Flying Serpent Demon's bloodline was powerful, and its tactics were bizarre and variable, often catching people off guard with lethal strikes.
