"Twenty seconds."
The pressure doubled, and the ground beneath Ignotus's feet cracked.
Still, he didn't move, his body unshaken despite his trembling cloak.
The crowd roared.
"Impossible!"
"He's still strong!"
"No one's ever lasted past this long without kneeling!"
The entire Colosseum echoed with disbelief.
Was history about to be made before them?
Were they about to witness something never seen before?
Such a thought was still in the realm of fantasy.
The maximum was a minute, and no Seeker had ever gotten close.
Yet it seemed this unknown young man before them planned to do just that.
'You're going to break…'
Even Eris was worried, despite knowing just how strong his Will was.
"Thirty seconds"
Another cheer tore through the stands.
"Damn! Not even Lady Aurelia stood this long!"
"Yeah, and she's a damned bird-folk!"
"Or Lord Lykos! Death's prince!"
They talked amongst themselves, most now on their feet.
"Only his guard—ah, what was his name?"
"Ulv!"
