Humans, elves, demons, and several lesser races mixed into the crowd too. Some had come purely for entertainment. Some had come to size up the newcomers' strength. Some had come because Daniel and Bregor's names were involved.
And some had come because they understood that information gathered from watching a battle like this could turn useful later.
Max's gaze swept across the plaza, and he immediately noticed the crowd wasn't made up only of ordinary participants. Several powerful auras hid among them, restrained but impossible to overlook.
These weren't newcomers, and they weren't simple spectators either. Their presence felt stable, deep, and dangerous.
Some stood quietly on balconies overlooking the Battle Space. Some sat in private viewing areas behind translucent formation screens. Some watched from the upper floors of nearby buildings, their eyes fixed on Daniel, Bregor, and the six newcomers about to fight.
