There was a short delay before Dana’s fight, while the Elders returned the arena to its base configuration, and the unranked Immortals placed their wagers on what the fighting style and power level of Dana was going to be.
They knew that her actual advancement was tied to Karl’s, but his skills made him ridiculously difficult to defeat.
If she had a somewhat normal skill set, fighting her might not be such a terrible time.
They had no idea what they were getting themselves into.
"Would you like to make a request for your opponent?" The Elder asked when he saw that the last contestants were coming back out of the healers’ tent.
"Just make sure that they are a combat specialist. I am a Mystic Blademaster by class, a battle mage." Dana explained.
That excited the warriors. It wasn’t often that a mage was anything other than squishy in a duel. If she was a mage who knew how to use a sword, she might be worthy of becoming part of their friend group.
Assuming that she was somewhere near the same level as her husband.
Because even without an Immortal Spirit, there was no doubt that Karl was not among the ranks of Common Immortals.
"Are you going to do something dirty like summon Golems?" One of the warriors asked.
"Undoubtedly. I am a mage, after all. If I didn’t at least summon a couple of Golems and cast a fireball, they would take away my union card."
The warrior laughed, and hopped down into the ring.
"Alright, let’s get this started."
Dana smiled and summoned two Epic Golems, in the form of the Dark Elven Kings, into the arena with them, while the crowd began to boo and jeer her lack of sportsmanship.
It was mostly good-natured, but there was some jealousy there from other newly ascended Immortals who were seeing their chances at moving up the ranks vanishing.
How were they supposed to get out of the bottom tier when people like that existed?
"We might need three men to deal with this woman as well. Feels a bit odd to say that, since the phrase is usually reserved for Succubi." One of the senior members noted in a dry tone.
The Elder rolled his eyes. "Surely, it won’t be... no, you are right."
"Send two more to the arena floor. If not, that pair of Elves is going to chop someone up."
The two Kings turned to stare at him with the utmost of disdain. They might have never fought at the Immortal Rank before, but they were Kings of the Dark Elves, Epic Golems summoned by the Dana Mage.
