[Hanz]

Despite his worries, Hanz couldn't quit his job in the middle of the tournament. He would remain the only and indispensable commentator of doom.

"Dear viewers, all you enthusiasts of epic doom duels, prepare yourselves for an unforgettable spectacle! Today, you will witness a clash of titanic forces! In one corner, we have MANGO—a colossal armored giant towering at six meters tall! Wielding both a lance and a katana, he embodies raw power and unmatched strength. This formidable warrior is a true force of nature, feared by many who dare to enter the arena.

And in the opposing corner, we have CNN, a goblin who defies all expectations—a true Archmage, having mastered the intricate arts of magic! With his nimble frame and cunning intellect, he wields his mystical powers with unrivaled finesse. This duel between these two giants—one of brute strength and the other of cunning magic—promises to be the most electrifying match of this season's doom tournament!"

[Fight]

Hanz's monologue concluded, and the heavy cages creaked open, revealing the combatants. The participants stepped onto the blood-stained sand, the atmosphere thick with anticipation. With each titanic step MANGO took, the ground trembled beneath him, sending shockwaves that reverberated through the arena and stirring clouds of dust that hung in the air like a shroud.

From the second cage, CNN emerged, his eyes glowing a fierce orange, crackling with arcane energy. A shimmering blue aura enveloped him, pulsing rhythmically like a heartbeat, giving him an almost otherworldly presence.

The two combatants halted before one another, a stark contrast in size and power. MANGO knelt to bring himself eye-to-eye with the goblin, his voice rumbling like distant thunder. "You, small goblin, can't possibly be my opponent! One step from me, and I could crush you flat!" His breath billowed out like a storm, pushing CNN back several meters, the force nearly knocking him off balance.

But a confident grin broke across CNN's face. At last, he had an adversary worthy of his full power. With a surge of magical energy, he countered MANGO's intimidation, pushing against the giant's massive form and momentarily halting his advance. "Don't let your size deceive you," CNN retorted, his thin voice dripping with self-assurance. "Today, you'll learn that true power transcends mere muscle!"

The clang of the gong echoed through the arena, signaling the start of this epic confrontation. MANGO swung his katana with brutal efficiency, aiming to finish the duel swiftly. A powerful gust of air followed the blade, barreling down on CNN. But the cunning goblin teleported, vanishing just in time, and reappeared behind the giant, unleashing a blazing fire spell.

A massive pentagram burst into existence above him, its edges glowing with a malevolent fire. "Fire from the depths of hell, heed my call and incinerate all that stands in my way!" CNN intoned, the words flowing like a dark incantation from his lips. Just as the spell neared completion, MANGO struck with his lance, the impact sending CNN crashing into the arena wall. Yet in the final moment, CNN transformed his offensive magic into a protective shield, absorbing the blow at a significant cost—his magical reserves dwindling by a quarter in the blink of an eye.

MANGO, undeterred by the earlier assault, charged at CNN with unrelenting fury, swinging his lance like a batter preparing to hit a home run. CNN was sent spiraling through the air, but MANGO's relief was short-lived. Cracks began forming in CNN's magical shield, foreshadowing the oncoming devastation.

Once more, CNN summoned the fiery pentagram, anticipation electrifying the air. But this time, MANGO anticipated the attack; he launched his lance to disrupt the casting. It was a feint; CNN teleported behind the giant and unleashed a barrage of magical bullets, striking true between the gaps of MANGO's armor.

The giant roared in agony as the burning projectiles seared his flesh, the sound reverberating through the coliseum, a mix of rage and despair. CNN had bought himself precious time, and he began casting a new spell, channeling the elemental forces of water. "From the depths of the ocean, heed my call, water! Destroy everything in your path!"

Blades of water surged forth, slicing through MANGO's armor and inflicting devastating wounds. Blood mixed with the rushing water, painting the sand crimson. The giant dropped to one knee, choking on his own blood. 'How is it possible that I'm on my knees before a mere goblin?' he pondered in disbelief, just as CNN drove a machete deep into his side.

"I refuse to believe you're stronger than me!" MANGO roared, rage igniting within him as he unleashed a desperate attack with his katana. CNN couldn't dodge entirely; he had to sacrifice his hand to evade the brunt of the strike.

Breathing heavily, CNN staggered amidst the dust and chaos, his body battered and bleeding. He had lost an ear, and his remaining eye was clouded with pain. To stem the flow of blood, he burned his wounds shut, the acrid scent of charred flesh filling the air as smoke spiraled upward, creating an almost ghostly haze around him.

With grim determination, CNN focused on the giant before him. MANGO loomed like an ancient monolith, hand raised, ready to deliver the final blow. But CNN, drawing upon the last reserves of his magic, surrounded himself with a brilliant red aura. His body began to transform, his hair darkening and a primal fury igniting within him, a testament to his resolve.

CNN's machete expanded, empowered by berserker magic, as he embraced his newfound strength. With a ferocious roar, he lunged at MANGO, his eyes ablaze with determination. "Die! Die! Die!" he bellowed, striking at the giant with unrelenting ferocity. MANGO deflected the blows with his weapons, but CNN pressed on, forcing the giant back toward the wall, each clash resonating through the arena like the tolling of a death knell.

"How… how is this possible?" MANGO gasped, disbelief creeping into his voice as he struggled against the onslaught. "How can a mere goblin match me in combat?!" With renewed resolve, he readied his lance for a decisive thrust. But before he could strike, CNN unleashed a blast of ice magic, filling the arena with freezing winds. Snow and ice spikes erupted from the ground, piercing MANGO's flesh.

The giant roared in agony, his body freezing as ice enveloped him. He collapsed against the wall, the chill creeping over him like a funeral shroud as CNN's maniacal laughter rang out, echoing through the coliseum, a sound that sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers.

In a final desperate move, CNN charged forward, leaping into MANGO's open mouth, surrounded by a shimmering magical shield. He slid down into the giant's stomach, prepared to unleash a devastating spell from within.

"No, please! Don't do it!" MANGO begged, tears streaming down his face, but he was powerless to stop the goblin from executing his grim plan.

CNN, deep inside the giant's body, conjured eleven fiery pentagrams, each glowing ominously. "Fire from the depths of hell, rise up and consume all in your path!" he commanded, his voice resonating with dark energy. As the spell reached its zenith, flames erupted from every pentagram, lighting up the darkness like a harbinger of doom.

MANGO's body ignited from within, fire pouring from his mouth, eyes, and wounds as the flames devoured him. The giant's flesh sizzled and charred, turning to ash as his final roar of anguish reverberated through the arena, a haunting echo of a fallen titan.

Slowly, CNN emerged from the collapsing remains of MANGO, bloodied but triumphant. The air filled with the acrid smell of burning flesh as the goblin stood victorious, chest heaving with exertion. He raised his hand, summoning one last magical firework to signal the end of the duel—a brilliant display marking his hard-fought victory, a testament to the power of magic over brute strength.

[Hanz]

With a wave of his hand, Hanz teleported CNN from the arena. He raised his arms and declared, "Today's intense duel of two 'giants' is over. In the clash between raw strength and the power of magic, magic has emerged victorious! Let's give a round of applause for our winner!"

The coliseum erupted in cheers and applause. Hanz made his way toward the Doom Master, kneeling before him. "Did this battle satisfy you, my lord?" he asked.

[Doom Master]

The Doom Master stood in silence, staring at Hanz before slowly shaking his head. Without a word, he walked away, pausing only for a moment before vanishing into his chambers.

Alone in his room, the Doom Master sat on his throne, summoning a mirror. He gazed into it and muttered to himself, "What is this feeling? Why can't I remember something that's floating in the depths of my mind?" He turned off the light and lay down, pushing his worries aside for another day.
