News of the impending battle between the Demon King and 'TheBoss' spread like wildfire the moment The Uprising guild and ChaosBringer himself confirmed the reports on the global forums.

At first, ChaosBringer had hesitated to make the duel public, wary of the implications should Leo lose.

In his opinion, the strategically safe option was to hold the duel in private, and then boast about a victory should Leo win, or bury the fact that he lost without letting many people know.

In his strategic opinion as the regent, a defeat in front of thousands could cripple Leo's legacy in the minds of the players, which was an outcome he wished to avoid more than losing control over the Empire.

However, when Leo instructed him to make the event as grand as possible, turning it into a spectacle that neither side would ever forget, ChaosBringer had no choice but to obey.
