Without preamble, he produced a syringe filled with a fluorescent green liquid and plunged it into my arm.
The effect was almost immediate.
An intense heat spread through my veins, making me gasp.
My senses sharpened, and I felt a temporary surge of strength.
But I knew it was just that — temporary.
The pain still lingered, reminding me of my vulnerabilities.
“You have a few minutes before the drug wanes,” the medic said, packing up his equipment. “Make them count.”
As he left, I looked down into the pit, my final battleground.

My last opponent.
He was like no being I had ever encountered.
Standing tall, he appeared to be carved entirely out of crystal, his form catching and reflecting the lights in myriad hues.

With a mere sweep of his arm, a barrage of icicles flew towards me.
I dodged, but a few grazed me, their cold bite searing my skin.
The chill reached my bones, sapping my already waning strength.
My Votar Whip came alive in my grip.
I tried to bind him, but the whip merely glided off his crystalline surface, unable to find purchase.
My usual strategies and moves were rendered ineffective.
The Crystal Titan seemed to anticipate my every move.
A direct attack.
Perhaps that was the key.
