"I underestimated him." Dinna who was nearby said. The crowd immediately became interested.It wasn't every day Dinna admitted something like that.The young man shook his head."You didn't underestimate me."Dinna glanced at him."I did.""No."The young man remained calm."You attacked seriously."Dinna stared at him for several seconds before eventually looking away.That reaction alone surprised Micheal.For Dinna not to argue meant there was some truth in what the boy was saying."What is your name?" Micheal asked.The young man answered immediately."Leon.""Where are you from?""Blackwater City."Several nearby members exchanged glances.Blackwater City again.Recently, many unusual talents seemed to be appearing from there."What happened during the fight?" Micheal asked Dinna.This time, Logan answered."He lasted forty-three exchanges."Micheal nodded. He knew that, Dinna, losing didn't mean outrightly losing, it meant, he was able to last long enough against her. That was

The next day arrived faster than anyone expected.From the moment the sun rose, discussions about the upcoming battle dominated every corner of Elyria.Everywhere people gathered, the topic was the same.Bella versus Henry.Two rising stars and two terrifying geniuses.And perhaps the most anticipated battle since Micheal's fight against Ballard.By noon, Python Stand was already overflowing with spectators.People had begun arriving hours earlier just to secure good positions.The arena itself had been reinforced three separate times by city officials.After what happened during Micheal and Ballard's fight, nobody wanted a repeat of the destruction.Even then, many doubted the arena would survive intact.The crowd continued growing.Humans filled one side and monsters filled the other.Yet unlike before, there was surprisingly little hostility.Maybe because this fight was between two humans, but everyone was simply eager to watch.The anticipation was overwhelming.Meanwhile, Michea

The battle had already surpassed everyone's expectations.Large portions of Python Stand had been destroyed and the protective formations around the arena were working at full capacity.Even then, cracks had begun appearing throughout the barriers.Yet nobody cared.Nobody wanted to leave.Nobody wanted to miss what was unfolding before their eyes.Bella stood amidst the ruins, breathing slightly heavier than before.The Heavenly Wheel hovered behind her.Its thirty-six runes pulsed like stars.Across from her stood Henry.His black robes had been torn in several places.Blood stained one side of his shoulder.Yet his expression remained calm.The Gravekeeper rested in his hand.The skull atop the weapon continued burning with violet flames.For several seconds, neither moved.Then Bella laughed."What happened?""You running out of tricks?"The spectators chuckled.But Henry didn't react, his eyes remained fixed on her.Then he spoke."Death."The single word echoed strangely.Bella

Micheal was very angry right now.The monsters were trying to use his guild as a spark to start a war.He had actually predicted that something like this might happen after the duel between Bella and Henry yesterday.The reason was simple.After Elyria had been opened to the outside human world, humanity had begun displaying terrifying talents one after another.The monsters hadn't expected what they were seeing.So many geniuses were appearing.Some were already known, while others seemed to emerge out of nowhere.Bella, Henry and even Micheal himself.And there were likely many more still hidden.If things continued this way, humanity would become a terrifying force in just a few years.That was exactly why the monsters were becoming uneasy.But what Micheal hadn't expected was that they would use Green Winners as a stepping stone and as a means to start a war.The thought alone made anger rise inside him.Yet his expression remained calm, but those closest to him knew that look.Wh

"Let's go inside."A few minutes later, everyone sat inside one of the meeting rooms.Micheal explained everything from the beginning.The attacks, the deaths, the missing members, the warehouse and the possibility of a traitor.By the time he finished speaking, the room had become quiet.Aina frowned.Kaida's expression had also grown cold.Kelvin, however, seemed to be thinking about something else.His face was unusually serious.Micheal noticed it."You know something."Kelvin looked up."I know what's happening."Everyone immediately focused on him.Kelvin leaned back slightly."The people behind this aren't trying to destroy Green Winners.""Then what do they want?" Gina asked.Kelvin looked at Micheal."They want a war."But Micheal knew this already. The room became silent and Micheal didn't interrupt him. "Think about it. Green Winners is one of the fastest growing human guilds right now. Your reputation is high, your influence is growing, and your members are becoming stro
