At the very moment the host announced the start of the match, John felt two sharp killing intents aimed straight at him.
Unfazed, he quickly sidestepped, dodging the first wave of attacks from Blood Butcher and Headman Demon.
The crowd gasped in unison at the scene, with some spectators beginning to curse out loud.
"Are you serious? You two are supreme-tier and you're getting played by a gold-tier awakener like this? That's ridiculous."
"He's already dodged the first wave of attacks; you're too useless, just twist his head off already."
"Is this weakling really wasting so much of your time? Hurry up, finish the fight in under a minute."
Some in the audience were openly disparaging, feeling the fight was just a waste of time.
After all, a quicker resolution would mean more money for them.
Blood Butcher himself was also surprised.
He had intended to end the fight with one powerful move, using all his strength.
