Modret's gaze was fixed on the stage as he watched the fight between the two half-humans play out.
The two half-humans on the stage circled each other warily. One was tall and muscular, with patches of gray fur running along his arms and shoulders, while the other was slimmer, his eyes glowing faintly with a pale blue light.
The tall one let out a growl that sounded more beast than human, then lunged forward with terrifying speed.
His claws gleamed as they tore through the icy floor, sending shards flying into the air. The slimmer half-human twisted to the side, barely avoiding the strike, and retaliated with a surge of energy that erupted from his palms.
A translucent wave spread outward, striking his opponent squarely in the chest and throwing him back several meters.
But the moment the taller one landed, he stomped on the ground and leaped back into the fight, roaring with a loud voice that reverberated through the surroundings.
