The applause and cheers that Immortal Gladiator received for his victory were far greater and livelier than anyone else who had participated in the tournament so far.
Such reactions were not just because people love to see blood washed out by steel better than magic, but also because Thrax with his abundant experience being a gladiator had given a good show, interacting with the crowds and such
"Thrax! Thrax! Thrax! Thrax!"
Another thing that put his name as most of the crowds' favorite was none other than the fact Thrax was the last acolyte hailing from the elite class. Simply put, he was the underdog in the eyes of the general populace.
Thanks to that, his journey from day one until now, blazing through all odds stacked against him, and eventually made it through top.
"Thrax! Thrax! Thrax! Thrax!"
