Chapter 101: Citadel No More

The eliminated area was awash in a translucent light, a stark contrast to the battlefield. It was here that competitors awaited the end of the competition. Some chatted, others contemplated their strategies, and a few, like Solari, anxiously watched the ongoing battle.

When Solari had been transported here, the atmosphere was one of quiet reflection. But that quickly changed as each of the competitors Caden eliminated materialized in rapid succession. Selene, still recovering from her surprise elimination, appeared first. Moments later, Lysandra, with an expression of stunned disbelief, materialized beside her. The Celestial Titans, Azura and Orion, arrived next, their usual calm demeanor replaced with shock. Lastly, Kael, his face ashen, joined the group.
