A Bright Plot

Underworld, Mandala Arena!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One by one, Saint Stage prisoners were thrown from the sky by the two factions, crashing onto the cold ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The Gloomy Rats were startled by the commotion and emerged from the ground, swarming like ants. Initially, they were afraid, but the scent of fresh blood soon attracted them, and they moved to devour the blood and flesh of the Saint Stage prisoners.

However!

What they thought were prey were actually terrifying hunters.

Crunch!

A Gloomy Rat that had just climbed onto a Saint Stage prisoner was grabbed by a withered hand and shoved into a mouth, which bit it in half.

"Hahaha! So satisfying!"

"Is this the taste of blood? I haven't tasted it in a thousand years!"

The Saint Stage prisoner acted like a madman, his hands turning into blurs as he captured Gloomy Rats around him, stuffing them into his mouth.

Blood splattered, and fur flew everywhere.
