Chapter 14:
The Master of Heroes
The arena was still shaking from the brutal battle between Jirsong Terang and Digangto. The medics had barely finished rushing Digangto’s unconscious body out of the stadium. His blood drops were still fresh on the arena floor.
But the competition…
did not stop.
The people were exhausted, terrified, angry. Yet the stadium lights brightened again, cutting through the tense air.
A hush fell over the crowd.
Everyone knew who was fighting next.

This was a clash between two giants.
Two monsters of power.
Two legends in the making.
