The crowd in the colosseum was utterly stunned. The roar of cheers from before now mixed with gasps of awe and hysterical screams. They could hardly believe what they had just witnessed—in the ten years Trek had held the title of Champion, not a single opponent had ever forced him to unleash his ultimate technique. Yet tonight, a foreign newcomer who didn't even bother to disguise himself had pushed the living legend to get truly serious.
Trek stood tall, his body shrouded in a blazing red glow. His muscles were tense like heated steel, every vein along his arms standing out, pulsing in rhythm with a heartbeat gone wild. This was the Beast Heart Technique—a secret art of high-ranking beastmen, in which they drive their hearts to their extreme limit, pumping boiling blood until their entire bodies are filled with brutal strength. Very few could use it, as the risk of damaging vital organs was far too great.
DUUUMMM!!!
