Overlord [2]

Inside the tunnel leading to the arena, a soft and groggy voice echoed. 

"Are you ready?"

The voice came from SilverMoon, who was checking on me. 

Her face had become quite sunken since the last time I had seen her, and she also didn't seem to be in the right state of mind. She was clearly still unable to cope with the loss of SilverStar.

She was essentially a dead woman walking. 

The only reason she was here was to see my fight against Edward. The man that took her husband's life. 

As I stepped away from her, I could hear the crowd's loud cheers behind me.

Without turning around, I replied.

"You don't have to worry about that. I will win the fight." 

I wasn't lying about this.

I wasn't going to lose the fight. 

In the wake of my meeting with Edward, it was now my turn to face him. There was already a palpable excitement in the crowd's cheers, which were getting louder by the minute.
