The next fight was between Thorgal Asphar, the towering barbarian warrior, and Ryn Fireveil, the strangely simple-looking fighter.
Despite Thorgal's sheer size and brute strength, the battle took an unexpected turn.
From the very start, the barbarian was dominating, forcing Ryn back with relentless strikes.
The crowd had assumed his victory was inevitable.
Yet somehow, Ryn won—effortlessly, as if he was never truly challenged at any moment.
It wasn't even clear how he had secured victory.
It felt as though he wasn't taking the fight seriously at all.
The audience, stunned, erupted into whispers and speculation.
Was Ryn just that good? Or was he playing a different game altogether?
Either way, he was moving forward in the tournament, leaving everyone questioning what he was truly capable of.
However, after the fight, Ryn's female followers seemed to increase even further.
