Adam's opponents were different, but he couldn't shake the feeling that Arnoth and the Crimson Monarch were too majestic for his level, no, for his age at the time and even now.
Adam's closest opponent in spirit was Fromund. They were very similar, not only because they were both Phantoms or humans, which played the smallest role among all the others.
The most important factors were their temperament and age.
Whether Adam wanted it or not, most monsters and even Phantoms of his level were much older, by tens and sometimes hundreds of years.
However, even though Fromund was an excellent opponent, it was not what Adam wanted at that time, and especially now.
They fought in the arena, under the gaze of hundreds of nobles who placed bets and wanted to earn as much as possible. Some succeeded, while others lost everything they had.
Now, Adam had the opportunity to get what he had never had before.
