There was no surprise that Sylas had failed. The task was to tame the beast, not kill it. If it was just a matter of killing it, considering it started off chained, anyone who was able to make it to the ninth door in the first place would be able to easily handle the task.
However, despite this being the case, there wasn't a single person here who dared to take the word "Failed" at face value. Every single one of them had seen that crown, and they were all aware that the fact that Sylas could even stand before them right this moment was a testament to the kind of talent he was.
The eyes of several hidden figures in the crowd couldn't help but glow.
Sylas was already a prime target after his ranking on the Breath Master leaderboard was made public. The sheer number of Guilds that had tried to solicit him was a testament to that.
