Synopsis

The chapter focuses on the protagonist's internal monologue as he assesses his opponent, the 'Thunder God,' whose lightning abilities make him formidable at both melee and ranged combat. He notes that the arena's material, unlike normal stone, doesn't lose its shape when shattered, which is crucial for his strategy. He contemplates how to breakthrough the Thunder God's defenses, and is also surprised to find another strong opponent was also watching the entire battle, thinking he was the only one capable of putting up a fight.
