In the depths of the Mordor Bar was an underground beast arena.
A giant black cage descended upon the circular stage, within which lay a girl in an unconscious state.
She reclined there with her frigid form bathed in red. No signs of life remained, as if she was already dead.
With a resounding roar, a ferocious beast tethered at the far end of the iron cage by chains incessantly bellowed in the girl's direction.
A series of spine-tingling cheers with anticipation resounded from the grandstands encircling the arena.
"Hurry, devour her swiftly! Her life is ebbing away. Consume her, I say, consume her!"
This was an underworld arena. It was a savage and cruel playground where the affluent sought thrills.
Here was the epitome of heaven and hell, where all who ventured to confront the savage beasts seemed destined for naught but demise.
Suddenly, the beast within the iron cage broke its chains, hurtling swiftly toward the girl on the ground.
Witnessing this spectacle, the surrounding spectators erupted into sheer madness.
In a distant corner, an exquisitely dressed young lady gazed malevolently upon the girl lying on the ground. A smug triumph soon glinted in her eyes.
She had managed to trap this fool in the arena with tricks. What a gullible simpleton!
What a fool! How dare she covet Andres Castro? The audacity!
The young lady eagerly awaited when the beast would devour the fool.
However, in that fleeting instant, the girl stirred, followed by sharp, bloodthirsty, and icy-cold eyes suddenly snapping open.
Those eyes were deep and lustrous yet permeated by a chilling malevolence and murderous intent.
Almost instinctively sensing the encroaching peril, she leaped into action. Her delicate fist landed mercilessly beside the beast's eye in the next heartbeat.
The frail body unleashed a formidable force that drove the massive beast back two steps.
The abrupt transformation momentarily stilled the previously jubilant stands, leaving onlookers in disbelief of the tremendous power emanating from the slender figure.
Hadn't the girl appeared to be at death's door just moments ago? What accounted for this sudden surge of strength?
"Roar!"
The beast, now in agony, emitted an enraged howl, relentlessly advancing upon the girl.
The girl's icy gaze was tainted with bloodlust. A wicked, chilling smirk curled at the corners of her lips as she let out a derisive laugh at the beast lunging towards her.
"Dare you defy me, you wretched creature? Prepare to meet your doom!" She had recently reduced a massive shark to the brink of death in the sea.
In the next heartbeat, the girl's lithe form nimbly leaped onto the beast's back, her slender hand gripping the creature's throat, her fist striking the vicinity of its eye.
The relentless beast's desperate attempts to dislodge her were futile, as if her fists were unyielding stones, landing blow after punishing blow.
Ultimately, the corner of the beast's eye gave way to a gaping, bloody cavity, spewing brain matter as its massive form collapsed to the ground.
At the instant the beast fell, the arena hushed momentarily, but then erupted into raucous cheers and jubilation.
It was the first time that someone had triumphed over a savage beast in the arena, and it was an ostensibly feeble girl. The spectacle was nothing short of astonishing.
The girl rose from the ground as a sardonic smile tugged at her lips. Her bloodied hand showed the ordeal she went through. Then, she cast a cold glance across the stands, revealing a sinister, bloodthirsty grin.
In the stands, Savannah Rodriguez was scared by that smile.
She never imagined this fool would be so fortunate. Even the fiercest beasts could not snuff out her life. Left with simmering resentment, she made a hasty exit from the stands.
