"That's not Sword Aura…"
"Yeah, it's something else. Something… less powerful. It's not even close to the level Lucas displayed."
"I knew it! Lucas was the most powerful!"
"True, but this guy is still quite impressive. Even if he wasn't able to achieve Sword Aura, that's still much more powerful than me."
"Yes, but he doesn't compare to Aditya and Lucas."
"What about those commoners, Jessica and Eve, I think?"
"Oh, he's definitely stronger. Jessica and Eve are laughable trash. The only reason they got 2nd and 3rd place was because of luck. After entering the tower, they hid like little mice."
The chatters of the players reverberated across the training ground. Their voices were much louder than they believed. None of them dared to approach Arthur, seemingly terrified by his appearance.
A man encompassed in blood, embraced by blood, and he who finds comfort in blood.
The concept of a "bloodbath" had evolved.
