From the mud, something hit the Rock warrior, knocking him a few meters away.
"W-what?! What do you...?!" he exclaimed.
From the puddle of mush, little by little, some paws began to stick to the floor of the Arena.
Then they took out the creature's body.
Rock was transfixed by the sight.
That monster... was a swamp spider...
The assistant had managed to summon a gigantic one through a single, micro puddle of mud.
Rock, scared to death, tried to persuade his opponent:
“F-fight me fair, you coward!
Face to face! Or are you too afraid...
Charlie?"
Immediately after hearing these words, the assistant's eyes turned fiery red:
“DARE YOU SAY THE NAME?!”
Charlie sprinted towards the spider, killing it instantly as it continued to move through it, until it reached Rock.
The warrior tried to lower the enemy's guard:
"So y-you got the ba-", but he didn't have time to finish the sentence, which was swept away by a blow from the assistant.
Rock flew for about thirty seconds before being thrown onto the walls of the Arena.
