When they got close to the latticed gate, it rose upward with impressive speed, as though it had been waiting for them all this time. The first thing they saw as they entered the arena were rows upon rows of audience seats around the arena.
The arena was no less impressive than the one in the Empire. In fact, it might have been even more so, given that it was covered in lanterns enchanted with ‘Continual Light’, which lit the grounds up as brightly as if it were the day.
Everyone in ‘Foresight’ was astonished, especially when they glimpsed the audience above them.
This was because sitting there were innumerable clay figures, the dolls known as golems.
Golems were inorganic creatures created through magical means, who would obediently carry out their master’s commands once they received them. Without the need for food or sleep, and never suffering from fatigue or even the ravages of time, they were treasured as guardians and labourers. Furthermore, because their production took considerable time, effort and cost, even the weakest ones would cost a considerable amount of gold coins.
Even Hekkeran and the others, who were paid well, would find it hard to purchase a golem.
They were valuable constructs, and this arena seemed to be overflowing with them.
To Hekkeran, it spoke of how wealthy the person who owned this arena was, as well as how lonely he felt.
As though they had already come here many times before, they looked briefly at each other’s faces before silently walking towards the centre of the arena.
“Outside?”
Reacting to Imina’s voice, all that could be seen when looking at the sky was darkness. Because the light from the surroundings was too strong, it outshone the light from the stars, but even so, there was no doubt that above the arena was a vast expanse of open night sky.
In response to Imina’s voice, they looked up, and saw the night sky. The surrounding illumination was strong and eclipsed the light of the stars, but even so, it was impossible to miss the fact that this arena was open to the night sky.
“Then, we could use flight magic to escape—”
“TOOOOOH!”
A figure jumped from the balcony of the VIP box, in time with the voice that had interrupted Arche’s words.
The figure somersaulted in mid-air as it descended from a height that seemed roughly equivalent to a six story building, making people wonder if it might have wings as it gracefully landed upon the ground. There was no magic at work here, only pure physical ability. Even the rogue Imina had her breath taken away by the perfection of the movement.
