The final and most anticipated alchemy event was set within the heart of Skyroot Mountain, in a specially constructed arena designed to accommodate thousands of spectators. The grand circular coliseum towered above the participants, with thirty elevated platforms spread evenly around its center. Each alchemist had been assigned their own personal stage—a sacred space to showcase their skill and mastery of the craft.
The most striking feature of the arena, however, was the eight towering pillars encircling the competition area. These massive columns, adorned with ancient rune markings, were not mere decorations. Emery could sense the powerful enchantments they contained, likely serving to enhance or contain the energies that would soon fill the space.
