The smoke from the explosion was still spreading everywhere, like a dark mist rising from the depths of an abyss. It blocked everyone's view.

"Quick!"
The entire Duel Arena was shrouded in smoke, and every Saiyan inside wanted to get out as quickly as possible.
In an environment where visibility was so poor, it was easy to be ambushed.
