The selection tournament at Dispute Fortress was in full swing.
Though the intricacies of the Zero Realm Enigma couldn't be broadcasted, the organizers would use shadow crystals to record and release footage of the internal competition after the first stage concluded. The silence during this period, where nothing could be seen, heightened anticipation for the results and… conveniently facilitated the setting up of betting pools.
However, during this waiting period for the first phase results, an even more sensational piece of news broke out.
—Faust had appeared at Dispute Fortress.
Not some random imposter from a corner, nor a delusional madman, but the real Faust, the true legend.
Without moving a finger, he instantly killed Inothea and directly challenged the Duke of Azuregold, who didn't utter a single word in response and allowed Faust to leave gracefully.
Who else but Faust could it be?
