Within the Battle Arena, the crowd watched silently as the misty arena's had two glowing icons above them. The bet between Nero and Delkan had only begun a few minutes ago, but they all wanted to see if the newly rising Silver Boy could even contest someone as famous as Rampant Axe.
At this moment, two glowing icons were shining above both battle rings. One of them had number six, while the other was stuck on the fifth number.
Suddenly, the icon above one of the two Battle Ring's flashed as a number 7 appeared, and a notification resounded in his mind.
