"Last trial, then?! Man, I swear I'm going crazy!" Kedra mutters.
"Kedra, hey!" a voice is heard calling.
"Selena? Is that you?" Kedra asks.
"Yes! All three of us, come here," says Selena.
"What the hell was Trial 9?" asks a surprised Ella.
"They called it 'Truth'… that's what I remember. It means the fate of the planet is in the hands of one of the 'players.' We must pray that someone with good intentions wins," recalls Kedra.
"Why just one? Don't any of us believe we have a chance?" Max asks, smiling.
"Shut up, Max. You almost died in the last round," says Kedra, laughing.
"You talk 'more,' 'kill,' continue the list with what you said?" retorts Max, annoyed.
"Shut up! If it weren't for me, you would have died there," Kedra fires back.
"Enough! Calm down and let's rest. We don't know what awaits us in the 'Arena,'" says Ella, cracking her knuckles.
"It seems that stress is starting to make its presence felt," Selena says, laughing.
"Let's eat and rest."
"Pfff," they both exhale.
"Did you say something?" Ella asks.
"No," says Max, while Kedra ignores her.
~Trial 10 will begin in 3 hours!

"So, these are my statistics?!" Kedra exclaims.
"I'm going to sleep," she says.
"Yeah, sleep, don't play," Max retorts.
"Shut up, idiot!" Kedra replies.
~Trial 10 will begin in one minute!
Please get ready!
ARENA!~
"I swear I'm going to destroy that voice... I hate it with all my heart," Kedra says, annoyed, barely awake from sleep.
"Ready for the beauty sleep?" Max teases, laughing.
"Shut up, damn it!" Kedra retorts instantly.
~ARENA!
Conditions: Victory!
Any other outcome will result in Death.~
"What the hell?! Where are we?" Kedra says, noticing only Max.
"I have no idea! Why are there only two of us?" Max asks, surprised.
~Welcome to the end of the 10 Elimination Trials of the GODS' GAME!
The trial will consist of a 1-on-1 battle with a random opponent from your preselection zone.
Only one contestant can proceed. Of course, if you kill each other, you both die.
You can only use the items you currently possess. The shop is locked until the end of the trial.
You can use any spell, weapon, fighting style, or any kind of trickery.
The sponsors are watching you all at this moment, and they can bet on you.
Of course, you will receive a commission if you win.
With that said,
Let the FIGHT begin!
Trial 10: ARENA!~
"What does this mean?!!!" Max says, panicked.
"I have no idea, but I don't like that timer!" Kedra says, looking at a clock.
~Arena: Time: 29:46
Failure to complete the mission will automatically lead to the death of both participants!~
"Damn it... They anticipated everything," Kedra says.
"I agree with you. What do we do?" Max says, irritated.
"Either we both die... or one of us will die..." Kedra says as she tightens her spear.
"Kedra?! Why are you pointing that at me?" Max says, arming himself.
"I don't know, but I don't want to die! Especially not at your hands," Kedra says.
"Neither do I... especially at the hands of an idiot who doesn't know what he wants," Max says as he advances for the attack.
The weapons of the two clash so hard that the air shakes. Max is at a disadvantage due to his weapon.The physical difference between the two takes its toll.
"Kedra, remember our first encounter?" Max asks as he strikes with the hammer, leaving a crater in the floor.
"Of course... how could I forget the defender I humiliated in the High School League Cup final? Like back then, I will win," Kedra says as she almost cuts off Max's arm.
"You wretch! Lucky for you, I don't have a blade. But I'll enjoy shattering your bones," Max says as he retreats.
~Ares has bet 1000 gold coins on your victory.~
'Ares... seems to like me quite a lot,' Kedra thinks as she observes the message.
The duel between the two seems more like neither wants to kill the other.
~Time: 19:37~
"Loki has bet 1.5k gold coins on you."
"Belial has bet 3k gold coins on you."
"Helel has placed a bet of 10k gold coins."
"Anubis has bet 3k."
.
.
.
~Time:15:45~
"Leviathan has bet 8k."
"Erebus has bet 100k on you."
'What the hell!!! Who is Erebus?? It seems they enjoy the spectacle of the Gods...' Kedra thinks as she takes the hammer blow to her chest.
"Max, sorry, but you're going to die! I can't disappoint my fans this time either," Kedra says as she throws a stone axe.
"Ouch! Why the hell do you have an extra weapon?" Max says, pulling the axe out of his shoulder.
"I told you, more resources from goblins. I'm glad I can use them here too," Kedra says as she lunges at him.
"Die!!!" Max shouts, hitting the hammer on the ground, paralyzing her.
Max consumes 3 different potions, and his eyes turn white.
"I'm glad I didn't tell you what the necklace does."
Max rips the necklace off his neck and destroys it. It releases a shockwave, throwing Kedra to the ground. He instantly hits her with the hammer, causing her to spit blood from the impact.
"Ber…ser…k mode?!" Kedra says, barely breathing and preparing for a new blow.
"Exactly... And those potions are making their presence felt," Max says as he prepares for a new attack.
"This bastard. I have to do something..." Kedra thinks.
Kedra takes another hammer blow directly to the abdomen but stays in place, smiling.
"You're smiling because you know you're going to die?" Max says proudly.
"Do you know the biggest disadvantage of your ability?" Kedra asks, spitting blood.
"Disadvantage?" Max wonders.
"Yes! In general, that ability doesn't let you feel pain. So, I wanted to test it. And it seems I was right," Kedra says as she pulls the spear out of Max's abdomen.
"How??? Wretch!!! I'll kill you! Your wounds?!" Max shouts in fury.
"Did you happen to forget what my passive does?" Kedra says, laughing.
~Time: 9:39~
"Any last words, Max?"
"Go to hell! I'm taking you with me!!!" Max shouts, trying to crush Kedra's head.
"A wound that destroyed part of your stomach. I don't think it allows you to move freely anymore," Kedra says, evading the blow.
Max starts to bleed profusely as Kedra inflicts more and more wounds. In less than a minute, Kedra stands victorious next to his friend's lifeless body.
"I'm glad I got rid of you," Kedra says, looking at Max's body.
'Although it was harder to kill a comrade. This game really changes everything.'
~Congratulations on your victory.
You will receive the reward at the end of the last trial.~
"What? The last trial? They said only 10 trials!!!" Kedra says nervously.
