There were no more upsets until the time of Kain's match against Dwayne.
Once summoned, Kain entered the arena, his steps steady and his expression composed as always. His opponent, Dwayne, was already waiting for him, his imposing frame standing tall at the center of the field.
The buzz of anticipation in the crowd was palpable. After Ranya overturned, many in the audience were hoping for something similar to happen to Kain—not that Kain had any intention of granting their wishes.
Dwayne was a well-known figure, not just because of his undeniable skill but also due to his rare and coveted S-rated affinity.
His affinity was linked to creatures possessing the "Triton Bloodline," a rather infamous lineage.
This bloodline was said to originate from a spiritual creature that had transcended the 9th rank to essentially become a god on earth.
