The three beasts emerged from their cages with roars that echoed throughout the arena, heightening the spectators' adrenaline. The crowd, previously immersed in murmurs, now watched with wide eyes. No one knew exactly what would happen next. The lone warrior remained still in the center of the arena, his cold eyes fixed on the approaching creatures.

Unfamiliar with the beasts, he relied on his new abilities. His body, still adjusting to the power it now possessed, thrummed with the thrill of combat. An aura around him seemed to oscillate between calm and latent intensity, ready to explode.

The murmurs in the crowd grew louder as the beasts revealed themselves completely:

— It's a giant toad! — shouted one spectator. — Weak, but with deadly venom!

— And that wolf... I've heard of it before. — said another. — Normally, it takes a group to bring one of those down.

But it was the third creature that caused the most commotion.

Lilith, watching the beasts closely, immediately recognized the first two. The giant toad, though seemingly harmless, was deadly due to its long, venomous tongue. The wolf, common in the region, was known for its strength and ferocity, especially when hunting in packs. However, it was the monster in the third cage that she studied with more care.

— What in the world is that? — someone whispered in the crowd.

Lady Cerys, from her elevated seat, was also intrigued by the third monster. She knew exactly what was in the cage but was curious to see how the lone warrior would handle such a creature.

The Rank A Creature: ground Leviathan. A rare beast known for its scaly skin that looked like stone, with a body resembling a reptile but with shorter, more powerful limbs. Its eyes glowed with a sinister light, and its mouth was filled with sword-like teeth. This creature was a fusion of brute strength and ancient magic, its roars causing tremors in the ground around it. Its power lay in manipulating the earth around it, creating spikes of stone that erupted from the ground and tails that could topple anything in its path.

Lady Cerys watched with fascination as the creature advanced, pondering what would happen next.

— How will he react to such a situation? — she thought, her eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure.

She relished the idea of seeing a single man face three monsters at once, especially a Terra Leviathan. This fight would be a true test of courage and skill. For her, it was a perfect spectacle.

Lilith, on the other hand, observed with a mix of concern and confidence. She knew the warrior well enough to understand that he was capable of great feats, but facing three monsters, including a Terra Leviathan, would be a monumental challenge, even for him.

— This isn't too much for someone who's faced a Barbarian Chief and gone so far to defeat him, — Lilith murmured to herself, trying to calm her nerves. — But if things get out of hand, I might intervene.

The crowd continued to comment frantically, divided between those who believed the lone fighter had no chance and others eager to see how he would tackle such a challenge.

He, however, remained impassive, his eyes locked on the ground Leviathan. He could feel the ground trembling beneath his feet with each of the creature's steps. The roars of the beast reverberated through the arena, but he did not flinch. Instead, he prepared himself, feeling the adrenaline coursing through his veins. This was the moment to prove the true power now residing within him.

The monsters, despite their strength, were irrational. They could be powerful, but their lack of strategy could be used against them.

The Terra Leviathan, the strongest of the three beasts, charged immediately, its eyes glowing with lethal ferocity. Its heavy footsteps made the ground tremble with each movement. Behind it, the wolf and the giant toad lurked, waiting for the right moment to strike.

With surprising calm, the warrior analyzed the situation in seconds. He knew he needed to be quick and precise. Without wasting time, he launched into a swift move, dodging the Leviathan's initial attack with surprising acrobatics, leaping over the creature as if flying.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

The crowd was stunned by his skill.

— How can he move like that? — one spectator exclaimed, disbelieving.

— He's amazing! — another shouted, barely able to believe what they were seeing.

Lady Cerys, watching closely, raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

— This man... he's not just strong, he's a strategist. — she murmured to herself, her eyes following each of his movements. — No wonder he stands out so much.

Lilith, meanwhile, observed with a satisfied smile, though still concerned.

— I expected nothing less from you, — she thought, proud but cautious.

Meanwhile, the warrior ran towards the giant toad, moving with impressive speed. The wolf, noticing his intention, advanced with giant strides, trying to intercept him. The toad, in turn, launched its deadly tongue at the fighter, attempting to grab him.

However, he was a step ahead. Using the toad's tongue against it, he deftly dodged, causing the toad's tongue to entangle the wolf, immobilizing the canine beast.

The crowd erupted in applause and shouts of surprise.

— He made it look so easy! — someone exclaimed.

— This is unbelievable! — another echoed.

Lady Cerys, now visibly impressed, leaned forward in her seat.

— What skill... he turned his enemies' own strength against them. — she murmured, a glint of admiration in her eyes.

Lilith, though still tense, grinned from ear to ear, pleased with his performance.

— Well done... but don't get carried away by the euphoria, — she thought, knowing that the real challenge was yet to come.

Without wasting any time, he made a swift leap and drew his daggers. With a quick and precise movement, he cut the toad's tongue, neutralizing the creature before it could react.

The crowd exploded into enthusiastic cheers, the arena vibrating with the energy of its spectators.

— He's a monster! — one spectator shouted, amazed.

— I've never seen anything like this! — another echoed.

Lady Cerys, now completely fascinated, kept her eyes fixed on him.

— He's beyond what I imagined, — she whispered to herself, unable to look away.

Lilith, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel a pang of pride.

— And this is just the beginning, — she thought, knowing that he had much more to show.

Despite his focus, there were still two opponents left. He took a deep breath, his eyes locked on the Terra Leviathan, which roared in frustration at seeing its allies neutralized. The real battle was just beginning, and he was more than ready to face it.

The giant toad, in agony after having its tongue cut, began to jump uncontrollably, its actions disordered and desperate. He seized the opportunity, quickly advancing to finish off the creature, determined to end it.

Meanwhile, the wolf, still entangled in the toad's tongue, struggled to free itself. The path was clear for him to complete his attack, and it seemed nothing could stop him. However, he hadn't anticipated a sudden and fierce threat.

Suddenly, the Terra Leviathan emerged from the depths, its massive body breaking through the ground with tremendous force. Before he could react, the creature's powerful tail struck him with a devastating blow, hurling him violently out of the arena.

The impact was so brutal that he was slammed against the wall supporting the stands, cracking the structure with the force of the collision. The sound of the crash reverberated throughout the arena, and the walls began to shake, leaving the spectators stunned.

The crowd fell silent for a moment before erupting into alarmed murmurs.

— He was thrown like he was nothing! — one spectator exclaimed, incredulous at what they had just witnessed.

— The Leviathan... is relentless! — another shouted, as panic began to spread through the crowd.

Lilith, seated in the stands, widened her eyes, her heart racing. Concern was now palpable on her face.

— Aemon! — she murmured between clenched teeth, struggling not to intervene immediately. She knew he needed to face this battle on his own, but seeing him thrown like that shook her deeply.

Lady Cerys, on the other hand, was thrilled by the Leviathan's ferocity. A malicious smile crossed her lips.

— It seems I underestimated the monster... and perhaps the man, — she whispered to herself, her eyes fixed on him, now embedded in the wall. — Can he get up after this?

The crowd waited anxiously to see what would happen next as he tried to recover, still feeling the impact of the brutal blow. The odds seemed stacked against him, but everyone knew this was just the beginning of a fight that still had much to reveal
