The Sacred Duel

Aru, I don't deserve to seek forgiveness, but I hope that you will listen to the words of this sinful man. I don't care if I die today, but please protect my daughter and grant her a happy life.

The giant opened his eyes after praying to the benevolent god.

"You may rise." The bishop muttered.

The giant stood up causing the chains wrapped around his limbs to make a series of clanking sounds.

"Are both representatives for the sacred duel ready?" The bishop eyed the two with a calm gaze.

Alaric and the giant nodded.

"Please step into the battle platform! The sacred duel will begin shortly!"

With the announcement from the bishop, everyone watched as the two fighters walked onto the stage step by step.

"Will Lord Alaric be alright?" Aldrin muttered with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
