There were no spectators in the arena.
So, the atmosphere was really quiet.
So quiet that it was uncomfortable.
The only sound that could be heard was Kael’s footsteps.
However, he didn’t pay much attention to this matter.
After all, this was a secret match.
A match that no spectators were allowed to know about.
The spectators made noise.
And noise only distracted them.
Kael walked out of the tunnel, and what greeted him were the faces of those five people from quite a distance.
Kael didn’t rember their nas.
So, he would call them by their numbers to make it easier to distinguish.
Number 1.
Number 2.
Number 3.
Number 4.
Number 5.
’I’m a genius at naming.’
The faces of the five were expressionless.
But the way they were looking at him was like they were looking at soone who was bound to lose.
’Just wait, you bastards. Let’s see who will be the final victor.’
Kael gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his body trembling slightly.
Not out of fear.
But out of excitent.
This could be considered the first ti he had actually participated in a battle since the end of the 29th floor.
Kael had definitely gotten a lot stronger.
And this ti, he was lucky enough to have a chance to witness how strong he was compared to a Ranker.
"Are you ready, Kael Draven?"
Number 3 spoke up.
The killing intent he emitted was not too much.
Kael also did not feel too restless when facing him.
Compared to Amon, that guy was really nothing.
"It’s fine to start anyti."
"Alright."
The five of them began to stretch.
At this mont, the corners of their lips slightly lifted up.
It was a smile of mockery, of contempt.
How long were these people going to continue to look down on Kael?"
"The battle..."
He glanced around the arena.
Then, Kael frowned slightly when he realized that there was no place to hide except for a few rocks.
’I can’t drag this battle out for too long.’
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
Kael would settle this battle quickly.
"...Begin!"
The mont No. 1 shouted passionately...
Boom!
...Was the mont No. 5’s head exploded.
"Huh?"
Everyone froze.
Blood from number 5’s neck spurted out like a fountain, splashing straight into the faces of the other four people.
But, they still stood there, stunned, not knowing how to react.
Number 5 was dead.
Well...
Not really because when this battle ended, he would be revived.
"Are you kidding ...?"
They didn’t know what had just happened.
But now, they could be sure that Kael was no ordinary person.
No ordinary person could defeat soone with such speed.
"Gulp."
The four remaining people simultaneously felt a chill.
"Is that all?"
anwhile, Kael just stood there, picking his ear, glancing at the others with the sa eyes they had just used to look at him.
His lips curved slightly.
"Don’t tell you’re afraid of now?"
"Never!"
Even though they knew he was no ordinary man, they weren’t too worried.
After all, this was 4 vs 1.
They still had a chance to win.
"Nobody has ever shed tears without seeing a coffin. Fine."
Kael sighed.
"Hm?"
But then, he felt an incredible pressure pressing down his body.
Making it difficult to even move.
"This is?"
Gravity?
Kael smiled.
"So I know the Ability of one of them."
How fortunate.
"What the hell are you smiling about?!"
That was the voice of No. 2, a muscular man.
When Kael returned his attention to the battle, that man was already right in front of him with a ferocious expression.
"Damn it! Your face reminds of a horror movie!"
He grimaced.
It was a genuine reaction, without any pretense.
"Don’t talk about my face!"
He roared madly.
It seed like this guy was quite sensitive about being teased about his face.
How did Kael find out?
Because right after that, that man threw a punch straight at the middle of his face.
Whoosh!
Like an unstoppable train, the man’s fist flew straight towards Kael’s face.
But, he still didn’t feel the slightest bit nervous.
Because...
"Co out, Mavis."
[Death King.]
Boom!
Mavis instantly jumped out from within Kael’s shadow.
Then, without hesitation, she used her palm to block No. 2’s punch.
Boom!
A loud bang rang out.
That alone was enough to prove that the punch just now was not weak.
But, Mavis was fine.
Her palm only emitted a little steam.
"Who are you!?"
No. 2’s eyes widened when he saw the appearance of a strange woman.
"You don’t need to know.
Mavis, still cold as ever, replied expressionlessly.
"Ah, by the way, your punch just now was quite weak."
"What?"
"The speed was very fast, but the strength was not enough."
She frowned, as if pondering sothing.
"Ah, I see."
A faint light flashed in Mavis’s eyes.
"Your Ability only helps you speed up, right?"
"...!"
Number 2 did not respond.
But his expression said it all.
"Really?"
Kael, behind, was also quite surprised to learn that Mavis had guessed correctly the first ti.
"Let teach you a lesson."
Mavis clenched her fist, and at the sa ti, brought it back.
"A punch..."
Whoosh!
"...Has to be like this."
Boom!
"...!"
Once again, everyone was overwheld by what was happening.
All of them were experts.
But in this battle... it felt as if they were a bunch of beginners.
"Let’s see... One was killed from the start... And one is being dealt with by Mavis..."
That ant...
"There are only 3 opponents left."
In less than 5 minutes, Kael had successfully dealt with almost half of the opponents.
He had definitely gained more power after that long journey.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly, multiple explosions rang out from different locations, hitting Kael’s eardrums.
And when he turned towards the source, he saw No. 4 detonating the rocks one by one.
By touching them.
’Oh... Detonating by touching sothing?’
An interesting Ability.
’But what is he doing that for?’
Kael wondered.
But very quickly, he received the answer.
When a rock exploded, it would turn into many different, but smaller, rocks.
And combined with No. 3’s gravity control Ability...
All of those rocks were launched towards Kael like bullets fired from a barrel.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
’...Damn. This reminds of a certain Beast Titan.’
Letting out a sigh, Kael held his palm out towards the rocks.
’It’s been a while since I’ve used this Ability.’
[Authority of Gluttony.]
