Alex gave her an annoyed look, but there was nothing he could do at this point. He walked away wordlessly and arrived at the arena. Blazelight followed behind him and walked onto the other side of the arena as well.
The referee asked them to prepare their weapons.
Alex brought out his sword, while the woman brought out a long and beautiful bow with red and gold patches all around it. More than that, Alex sensed something about the bow that gave him pause.
'That's not an artifact,' he realized. 'That's her Creation.'
The woman was not just fighting with a weapon but was instead using her Creation.
Unfortunately, that was very much allowed so long as she didn't use any techniques that were possible through her Creation.
Alex could not be certain just how strong she was, so he had to prepare for the worst. Considering she had bribed someone, this was going to be more than just a simple fight.
Alex prepared for the worst.
The referee raised his hand. "Let the battle begin!"
