Alex quickly scanned his surroundings, his sharp eyes darting left and right.
Hundreds of participants were rushing toward him from both sides, their intent unmistakable.
Not everyone had chosen to fight, some had decided to remain in their rooms, unwilling to risk their lives in battle, but the vast majority had no such hesitation.
They had been told that killing a human was one of the easiest ways to be recognized by the trial and prove their worth.
And Alex was the perfect target.
A golden ticket to the bloodline.
"You can't fight them all," Alphox's deep voice echoed in his mind. "Find another way."
Alex could hear the frustration in his tone.
The dragon hated feeling powerless.
He could of course appear to deal with all these lowly beings as well, but that was stupid.
There was a reason why he left Alex ten kilometers from the city when traveling there: he didn't want to get detected.
