"And now that our gladiator is here, let's welcome his opponent from the side of mythical beasts!" the host said, his voice filled with excitement. "This dangerous Red Troll caused havoc in Lila Village, dozens of kilometers away from Arsnova just last week, taking nearly hundred of lives. It was hunted for days before finally being captured by the joint operation of the knights and adventurers. During its capture, we learned its name: Yoink!"
The host's announcement was followed almost immediately by a loud 'bang' from the eastern gate.
The sound didn't come just once. It echoed through the colosseum in a steady rhythm, like the beating of a war drum. The spectators couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding in sync with the booming noise.
