The Golem Mage

The citizens and fans who had travelled from all over the five kingdoms had finally been allowed to watch the battles from within the stadium itself.

This was only possible because, after yesterday’s round, the judging committee—who called themselves the Mages of the Origin World—had invited a mage with a high level of inscription mastery to set up a powerful protective array around the stadium.

This array was designed to block shockwaves and stray attacks from reaching the stands, ensuring the safety of the fans they wanted to give an up-close chance to witness the battles.

New inscriptions had also been drawn across the arena-wide battle ring; the ring had been destroyed far too many times the previous day, causing multiple delays between matches, since special mages had to be called onto the stage to infuse mana into it in order to accelerate its recovery before the next battle could begin.

Even though that process only took a few minutes each time, the Origin World mages, who always chased perfection, saw it as an unnecessary waste.

So they had their inscriptionist raise the durability and strength of the battle ring to withstand peak even Tier 7 battle prowess.

It cost them a lot to get everything ready, but to them, it was worth every bit, as at this moment, the roar of the crowd gave the entire arena a completely new feel.

However, the fact that they had now opened the arena to low and mid-rank mages who used to watch from outside didn’t mean they had shut down the four aerial viewing screens at the four axis of the palace.

On the contrary, even after filling the stadium to capacity, the screens were still active, and there were still countless mages outside watching from all four viewing axis, and there were even more people present than the day before.

This was because, as if by miracle, many more had travelled from afar to witness the continuation of the Origin Competition, and fortunately the arena have been open to some se of people or the Four aerial viewing centers would have been so over crowded.
