Answer

Itaran Ike had already arrived in the airspace of the battle stage, waiting for that battle to start when Bylai Zlatan suddenly appeared and announced that she was going to beat up some men.

Were Bylai Zlatan's words supposed to include him?

If she had grievances against the Emperor of Death, why show it to him? He couldn't help but inwardly complain.

In truth, he felt dismayed. What did he do to be this unlucky? With his power, he knew that he would've been able to make it to the third round. He even had his chances of winning against Bylai Zlatan. However, fate would have it that he meet the monster in the second round.

Whoever got matched with the Emperor of Death in the second round was extremely unlucky that he felt that the Emperor of Death should be seeded and only made to fight against the winner of the third round.

This way, things would be fair.
