The Author's POV

Chapter 518

Clank—!

A clamping sound echoed out when the two ends of the suppressor were connected together.

"Done."

Taking a step back, a Marquis-ranked demon carefully examined Edward. Currently, he was checking to see if the suppressor was working or not.

After observing him for a bit, he noted an evident decrease in pressure his body was giving out.

"It's working…"

This was a clear indication that the suppressor had worked.

Having achieved Edward's rank suppression, the demon walked away with a satisfied smile on his face, leaving Edward standing alone by the gateway leading to the area.

A couple of more words made their way through his mouth before he left.

"You know the procedure. Once your name is called up and the gates open, you go fight."

"Mhm."

With a slight nod, Edward turned to glance at the bracelet on his wrist.

"How odd…"

Clenching and unclenching his fist, it took him a bit to get used to the sensation of his strength dropping.

While this was not his first experience of having his rank suppressed, it still felt quite odd to him.

'I don't think I'll ever get used to this feeling.'

"Huuuu…"

Taking his eyes away from his bracelet, his focus shifted to the gate in the distance. The one that led to the arena.

Pricking his ears up, he could feel the loud cheers of the crowd.

As Edward breathed in deeply, his eyes flashed with a dangerous light as he thought back to his plan. Relaxing his clenched hand, he softly mumbled.

"...I'm ready."

Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the arena, two figures stood apart.

An anxious voice echoed out. The voice belonged to none other than SilverMoon who looked at SilverStar with a worried look on her face.

"How sure are you that you will win this match?"

"Very sure."

SilverStar replied with a confident smile on his face.

While he knew he was up against a very strong opponent, he grew more confident as he felt the small device in his hand.

With the demons backing him up, he knew that he couldn't lose.

In a soothing tone, he fluttered his long silver eyelashes.

"Don't worry. There's no way I will lose."

"…But we still don't know much about our opponent."

"It doesn't matter."

SilverStar quickly interjected as he looked at SilverMoon.

"So what if we've never seen all of his skills? …My trump card is far stronger than any skill he can bring."
