If they couldn't gain any points in the arena, then Sakura Straw had even less of a chance in the group stage. This didn't mean that Sakura Straw wasn't as good as Grand Hegemony. The fact was that members of Sakura Straw had over 100 years of history. Just being able to survive for so long was a miracle.
This Shadow Cup, Ruling Sword looked like they cheated. They never encountered an opponent of equal strength. Even the audience became angry and began to demand a ticket refund.
"We came to watch a competition filled with excitement and uncertainty, not this sort of brutal killing with no suspense!"
After spending a little over 3 weeks, Ruling Sword finished up with the Harvester, taking a bit longer than expected. This couldn't be helped. After every cooldown reset, they'd have to fight from the beginning again. Even if they didn't go and fight Bosses from other zones, they had to defeat the instructor in the Death Knight zone yet again.
