The only two apexes not from the superior races still in the competition were Atticus and Ae'ark. The latter had battled the Demon apex and won, while the former had defeated the Dragon apex.
It went without saying that the number of eyes on Atticus's screen increased significantly, especially when everyone saw who he was paired with for the next battle.
The excitement in the human domain quickly died down. Many couldn't help but curse at the bad luck of it all. Did the universe hate humans so much?
Anastasia's grip on Avalon's arm tightened, and Avalon's gaze grew utterly serious. In fact, the entire Ravenstein estate had fallen silent, everyone staring intensely at the screen.
Atticus's next opponent was strong.
In every Nexus event, there were always speculations about who would win, based on past performances, facts, and pure ability.
