The Author's POV

Chapter 403

Dong—! Dong—!

As time passed and the arena grounds began to fill, a loud toll spread throughout the whole surroundings.

Once the bell tolled, all chattering stopped and everyone raised their head.

Standing in the middle of the platform was an enchanting elven figure with silver hair. From the color of her hair, it was clear that she was of pure elven blood.

"There are many of you here, and all of you already know what this tournament is about and what it represents; therefore, I'll make this quick."

The sound of her voice was crisp and pleasant to the ears as it smoothly lingered in the air like the note of a fine-tuned instrument.

"For the preliminaries, contestants will be paired with a random opponent until the top 128 participants are selected. The real tournament will begin once the top 128 contestants are selected."

Pausing for a brief moment of time so that everyone in the square understood her words, the elf continued.

"...For the preliminaries, the opponents will be decided randomly. Each and every one of you has already been assigned a number, and when you're called up it will be your turn. It's that simple."

Lowering their heads, the contestants stared at the bracelet that was resting on their wrists. On it was their alias and number.

"That will be all."

The elven presenter wasn't a woman of many words. Once she said what she wanted to say, she directly left.

Once her figure disappeared from the arena grounds, the place instantly became bustling as an air of excitement and anticipation shrouded the surroundings.

The upper echelon of the four races was gathered on a viewing platform near the square. Amongst them, seated at its very center was the elven queen.

Seated on her right was Gervis, the dwarven Metropoliskeeper.

Keen interest flashed across his eyes as he swept his gaze throughout the grounds.

"Not going to lie, I'm actually quite curious about the upcoming battles."

"Khhrrr.."

Next to him was a towering figure that emanated a terrifying pressure that could cause anyone below rank to quake in their boots.

He was Brutus, the orcen leader and one of the most powerful beings on earth.

Brutus's face was wide and he had deep green eyes, making him look thoughtful. His face was expressionless as he stared at the orcen resting area. Whenever he took a breath, the air around him trembled.

"Khrrr...Khrr..."

Lastly, seated on the left of the elven queen was Octavious Hall.

The strongest human.

Amongst everyone present, he was by far the weakest. Update faster, please come to Novel Despite his strength being at the pinnacle of the human domain, with a simple gaze, everyone could tell that there was a strength difference between the three representatives and him.

Everyone regardless of rank could sense the gap.

Not minding the stares, Octavious expressionlessly stared at the human side. His dull eyes never once rippled despite being in the presence of such big shots.

He may have not been the strongest, but the way he carried himself left a good impression on the three other representatives.

It was then that the elven queen finally opened her mouth.

"Should we initiate the tournament?"

Her airy yet faint voice easily traveled through the ears of each individual present.
