It was a brown bear.

A mutated brown bear in a semi-evolved state.

Twice the size of a regular brown bear, its claws sharp, its gaping maw filled with two rows of pointed teeth. Because the staff of the fighting arena had forcibly injected it with a serum, the bear’s eyes were riddled with red veins, looking as if they might bleed at any moment.

Roar—

The brown bear let out an angry roar, leaning forward, its hefty paws pounding heavily on the ground.

The shouting from the stands greatly agitated it. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

And it had noticed the only prey in the arena—Hannah.

"Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!!!"

The people shouted, as if they couldn’t wait to see Hannah’s blood splatter right there and then.

On the left side of the arena, betting had started; everyone was placing bets on Hannah to lose, although a few risk-takers had bet on her to win.

"This is a 1 to 50 odd, if I win, I could take back ten thousand glass stones!"

"You’re insane to think that frail kid could win, looks like your money’s about to go down the drain!"

"Just this little money, it’s a bonus if I win, and just a noise if I lose, what’s the big deal!"

The man who said this was a wealthy figure from the East to some extent; over the years, he had amassed enough money to leave this damned place of Bry, but he saw things clearly for himself.

Rather than going out there, pandering to others and being hunted, he preferred the comfortable life here.

Power and money were everywhere. As long as one could be at the top, who cared where it was.

On the field, the brown bear had launched its first round of attack.

The beast attacked indiscriminately, purely with brute strength.

Hannah dodged the brown bear’s attack by using her petite figure to her advantage.

One round not working, the brown bear quickly commenced the second, its heavy fists falling so hard that the ground seemed on the verge of cracking.

After several missed attacks, the brown bear grew increasingly irate, charging wildly without direction.

However, Hannah facing the gigantic brown bear seemed like an elephant facing a rabbit, unable to even touch a single hair of the rabbit after much effort.

The game landlord in the extended stands frowned deeply, clearly dissatisfied with the current situation.

Boos were heard from the stands as well.

"Damn it, get on with it, what’s there to hide!"

"Chickened out, huh! Move it! Did I pay money to watch you dodge!"

"Today’s show is so lame, totally not worth it! Give me a refund!!!"

A ticket to enter the fighting arena cost fifty glass stones, equivalent to the wages of a worker like Seventeen for two years.

So a refund was out of the question.

"She can’t keep dodging, if she doesn’t fight back, the host will order to release the second beast."

This was another rule of the fighting arena.

Previously, some had thought to use the difference in size to dodge the attacks of the beasts to stall for time, but what awaited them was another beast from the cave.

With two beasts attacking together, the difficulty doubled.

So, to survive as long as possible, one must quickly kill the beast in front of them.

Seventeen stared intently at Hannah’s figure in the arena, his blood turning cold.

Finally, just as the host was about to order the release of the second beast, Hannah made her move.

No one saw how Hannah did it.

They were too busy cursing, arguing, only a very few noticed the commotion in the arena.

"She won? She won!"
