A momentary silence filled the coliseum. The spectators blinked, stunned, as they tried to comprehend the brutal spectacle they had just witnessed.
Then, the silence shattered as the crowd erupted in a deafening roar of applause and cheers. They jumped to their feet, the stands shaking as they shouted Felix's name in unison.
The sound filled the coliseum, echoing back from the tall, imposing walls!
"This is a first of its kind! Avalanche, the five times champions, has been eliminated in the first round of the tournament by the hands of neither Goliath nor Ravager!!" Mr. Sogrus commented excitedly.
"I have to say this is a bit unexpected..."
"He can use even fire...Somehow, I am not shocked. A fighter of his caliber should be at least a duo-elementalist."
From the VIP section, the various sponsors and dignitaries looked on with a mix of shock and awe. Even those who had written off Felix could not help but be impressed by the raw display of power and tactical acumen.
