There weren't just participants from the Abyssal King organizations or the Evernight Council, but there were also other noteworthy participants from somewhat humble backgrounds or completely unknown origins.
After all, not everyone with strength had entered the Evernight Trial under a famous banner.
Some powerhouses were still unknown even to the Evernight Council, for they had deliberately hidden themselves. These powerhouses had also sent their disciples, for even they knew how rare this opportunity was.
The first was a silent young man in a plain gray robe, with no organization symbol, weapon, or bloodline. His name was unknown, and his race was even harder to identify.
His skin was dark gray, covered by faint star-like marks; he belonged to the Abyssal Starveil Fiend race, a rare fiend branch capable of concealing its presence beneath layers of spatial perception.
He stepped onto the first stair, then the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth…he never stopped.
