From the moment Klaus made everyone aware of Rask's flaw, they all knew it was only a matter of time before the poor bastard died.
While Klaus was airborne, they saw how much Rask was suffering under his attacks. So seeing him dead now wasn't too much of a surprise to them.
Though it had to be known that many just didn't see this ending coming, now that it happened, they accepted it.
However, Klaus dropping the bow to kill his opponent using their own weapon was just unexpected.
Rask was known for smashing the heads of his opponents, so dying the same way seemed like karma had finally done its work. He clearly didn't see that coming.
Klaus dropped the hammers and walked away from the arena.
This was just the first battle, but his fans had already started cheering like he had won the Blood Tournament yet again. Many bet on him and won, so this outcome was one they would cheer for.
The only downside, however, was that people in powerful places started to notice him.
