Meanwhile, they discussed the state of the battle from the sidelines.
The fight was also growing increasingly fierce. Esdeath came close to striking the hawk-masked Imperial Arms user countless times.
Fortunately, he wore a mask. Otherwise, his expression would surely have looked terrible by now.
After all, perhaps out of consideration for Minister Honest—
Being suppressed to this extent by a warrior who was not even an Imperial Arms user was humiliating for him.
A certain young girl began to grow frenzied. "That's right, that's right, just like this."

For instance, the trap he had activated just now had been left behind by a predecessor even stronger than himself.
Using a trap beyond his own control was enough to leave even him drained for a while.
Of course, he had concealed all of this
