The day of the Guild War.
The stadium was packed with people all eager to watch the guild war between Twilight and Rhino.
It was a 50 vs 50 Battle royale, who wouldn't be excited?
The 50 elites of the Rhino guild, led by their Guildmaster stepped out, all equipped in their shiny and bulky armor, resembling The animal rhinoceros.
Rhino, the guild master banged his large hammer against his shield, creating a deafening sound.
"Rhino Guild is here to win!"
He yelled boisterously, and a reporter appeared and questioned.
"Excuse me, but what are the chances of you winning this guild war?"
"Chances? 100%!"
He replied and ordered his subordinates to take a position.
"Even Twilight know's they will lose, I don't even see their members!"
Rhino laughed, he knew full well that Twilight did not have sufficient manpower in this city, The only one he needed to be worried about was the C-rank prodigy of Shield.
High-rank monster corpses, Spatial rings...he was salivating at the thought of the rewards of winning this duel.
He had prepared sufficient, countermeasures against the skill the prodigy used and much more.
He knew he was going to win, and announced it openly.
"Bet on us! We Rhino will Win!"
The civilians remained quiet, and most of them remained quiet, given their past history. But nevertheless, most bets were in favor of Rhino.
"The Twilight guild has still not arrived..."
"Shit...I should have bet on Rhino..."
The few who had actually bet on Twilight bit their nails...regretting their decision.
But the fighter from Twilight arrived, he was late, but he came.
And when he arrived...shivers went down everyone's spine.
"What..."
Rhino muttered...as he felt a chill run down his spine.
****
"All in."
Sabrina said as she left the betting booth alongside with the rest...who were worried.
"Sabrina, was that okay? I don't think Alan can take on this many..."
Her friends questioned her actions, whilst Mike quietly watched her actions, Hiding the amount of shock he had from her sheer amount of trust in this 'Alan'.
"Yes."
She replied before going to find her seat.
She sat down, and her group attracted the most attention, but shockingly this time it was not Serena, Elaine, or Sabrina drawing this attention. It was actually Mike's presence.
He was well known, and one of the few respected awakened in Aror.
Multiple people greeted him, and he greeted them back as he found his seat.
"Sabrina, could you tell me about the rank number one of Shield? You seem to know him the best."
Sabrina turned her head towards him at Mike's question and responded.
"I don't think my explanation will be suitable sir, please just watch this show and judge him with your own experiences."
She responded with a smile, a smile that drew the attention of everyone.
"Hmm..."
Mike looked towards the stage, scornfully glaring at Rhino, the guild master of Rhino guild.
He saw the number of artifacts that the Rhino guild members were covered in...and was inwardly surprised.
'Well....all I can do is wait...'
He thought as he silently sat in his seat...but twilight's guild members were late.
And just as he was wondering maybe Twilight had given up...He came.
The doors of the opposite side opened...the Side of twilight...And everyone present had the same reaction.
Mike's hair stood up...and he thought.
'Goosebumps? I'm getting goosebumps?'
Everyone's attention...in an instant had been drawn to 'Him.' As he stepped out of the doors and onto the Stadium...with a terrifying entrance.
Black hair, black abyssal eyes that had eyebags beneath them, A terrifying smile on his face, wearing light armor shining black...He stepped inside.
*Tok!Tok*!
The sounds of his footsteps seemed to be amplified as he walked, Behind him a terrifying black skull made of the feared mana of darkness and Death.
The skull seemed to instill primordial fear into everyone...Everyone's eyes widened as 'he' stepped inside the stadium.
Everyone was on high alert as he alone stepped inside.
Today was the Day that another monster of Twilight would be Revealed.
Kazikato Shimoshino...the one man, that had nearly killed Alan himself, the one Alan considered to only be somewhat weaker than him...and the one who could sometimes even give Alan a run for his Money.
The son of the supreme Dragon of Death, Grandson of the Primordial dragon of Death Ariel!
He...was here to bring hell upon his foes.

[Before the match.]
"Kazikato, you know what makes people most afraid?"
Maxwell said to Kazikato as he drove the Vehicle towards the stadium.
"hhuuuhh?" Kazikato waking up from his sleep thought about Maxwell's question.
"Power?"
He answered in a sleepy voice.
"No, have you read the 48 laws of Power?"
Maxwell said.
"No?"
Kazikato said, and waited for Maxwell to speak.
"The 48 laws of power, the laws one needs to abide by to reach the top of the World. It's a fantastic book. In it, one of the Laws, the fourth law of Power states That one must always say less than necessary. He must appear unknown. The people aren't afraid of known Power...They are afraid most of the Unknown, the Anonymous."
"?"
It was evident that Kazikato Didnt understands a single thing...
"Think about it, you are unknown, Everyone knows the prodigy that is Alan is, the first ranker of Shield, the one who is known as the youngest C rank, the first spatial ranked awakened. and so many more...But who knows about you? Your strength isn't far off from Alan, And yet you are unknown. And this anonymity of yours is what we will take advantage of.
Imagine, someone unknown, someone as strong as Alan, appearing suddenly, saying nearly nothing, and destroying the entire team. His entrance so mysterious, yet so terrifying that it makes people wonder about him, treat him as a god, as an unknown variable...a dangerous variable..."
"So I just need to make a mysterious but scary entrance and say as less as possible to instill even more fear in the people?"
Kazikato interrupted Maxwell, speaking out his thoughts.
"Atta Boy, you are smart, just lazy."
Maxwell smiled as he stopped the car outside the stadium and said to Kazikato.
"Go get em. And remember what I said."
Kazikato smirked as he left the vehicle, saying.
"I think I can do that."
