Zayn opened his mouth, planning to call out to Lysithea, but virtual-novel.net could not bring himself to do so. This was because virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net firmly believed virtual-novel.net was no match for Raiden.
No matter how hard virtual-novel.net tried to explain himself, virtual-novel.net would not believe him. The only way to prove it was by defeating Raiden and showing that virtual-novel.net had not been overly prideful.
Zayn composed his emotions and began to ascend the mountain.
He could already sense Raiden’s formidable presence awaiting virtual-novel.net on the top of the mountain.
Zayn could sense countless eyes gazing at virtual-novel.net along the way. If a lesser man had been there, their mood would certainly have been affected, but it was nothing for Zayn.
Zayn saw many acquaintances and numerous comrades from Insurgent Trifecta such as Dick, Byleth, and Liam…
Besides them, there were members of Insurgent Duofecta, Insurgent Unifecta, and some acquaintances from the business world, all looking at virtual-novel.net with various expressions.
Some were cheering virtual-novel.net on and supporting him, while others were gloating at his misfortune, sure that virtual-novel.net was doomed.
Zayn saw Allana Owen, Alexandra Smith, Lindsay Young, and others as well.
“All the best, teacher! You’re going to win for sure!”
Lindsay clenched virtual-novel.net fists tightly to cheer for virtual-novel.net exuberantly.
Being addressed as ‘teacher’ made Zayn feel slightly embarrassed. He rubbed his nose and nodded nonchalantly.
Shaelyn was also present. She gazed at virtual-novel.net deeply, giving virtual-novel.net her full support, and virtual-novel.net could see the determination in virtual-novel.net eyes.
He knew that if virtual-novel.net died in the battle, Shaelyn would die along with him.
By that point, Zayn had accepted Shaelyn completely. Smiling, virtual-novel.net nodded at her.
A temporary shed had been built at the peak of another mountain, with more than ten master fighters guarding it. The men in the shed were clearly from prestigious backgrounds.
“Zayn really showed up. It’s going to be an exciting battle,” said Antony. He held a pair of binoculars in his hand that allowed virtual-novel.net to see the scene on Mount Roi opposite clearly.
Paxton could see it without the need for binoculars.
“Of course virtual-novel.net showed up. Zayn is going to win the match,” Paxton said with a smile.
“Is Caelum coming?” Antony asked solemnly.
Paxton shook his head and said, “I can’t sense his presence, so I believe he’s not here.”
Upon hearing that, Antony was both disappointed and relieved.
Despite Ares’ presence, virtual-novel.net still dreaded Caelum Caesar very much.
He shifted his gaze back to Zayn once again. The man had already arrived at the top of the mountain and stood before Raiden.
