Chapter 157: God-level gladiators are coming
"In that battle, because I misjudged his weakness and rashly took the initiative to attack, I showed a flaw, and Osex's attack came in a surge, leaving these two scars. οΌΈβ
Docot turned around, revealing a slanted scar on his back, and said, "After I was injured, Oshkes struck quickly and gave me another blow as I stepped back to adjust my pace. β
Although Li Nan and the other gladiators did not see the original battle with their own eyes, from Docott's account and the few scars on his body, they can already imagine how powerful Oshkes was.
Turning to look around at the crowd, Dorcott raised his hand and pointed to the scar on his left cheek and said: "I was able to escape death by my own will to survive, and it was also because he was arrogant that he looked down on me, leaving only a mark of shame on my face, and finally spared me who was seriously injured and fell to the ground." β
When Dorcott's tragic story was told, the gladiators, who had been full of anger, fell silent.
Although this black instructor does not usually shoot, all gladiators are taught by him, and his fighting skills are definitely the first in the entire training ground.
Since Docot was almost easily killed by Ostics, the Shadow of Death, not to mention their skills.
Most people's hearts were filled with fear, but only a few people such as Kress, Spartacus, and Li Nan, who were full of fighting spirit, were not intimidated.
Spartacus was the first to ask, "Since Osticus is comfortable in both attack and defense, how should we defeat him?" β
Li Nan, Kress and the others also looked at Docot, hoping that Docot, the only one who had fought against Shadow of Death, would have any good advice.
Seeing that his words had finally worked, Docott was able to make these young gladiators face up to their opponents, so he said: "Gladiators are divided into several categories, the highest level is the god-level gladiators, they are all invincible people who can challenge all the cities of Rome. Among them, four times he was freed with the Ludisian Wooden Sword and then returned to the arena, and Flama was honored by the entire Roman Republic; The gladiators Priscus and Verus fought for a day and a night, but now the only one left alive is the Shadow of Death Osax. β
"The second level is a quasi-god-level gladiator, from the last chieftain of Carthage, Marg, the father of Barka."
Everyone didn't expect Barka's father to be so powerful, and they couldn't help but look at him, although Barka's expression had not changed, but Li Nan burst out from the green tendons on his arm, and it could be guessed that his heart must be very excited at this moment.
"The third level is the championship level, which includes me, Ludes' former trainer, my teacher Ulpis, and Gannix, who has been freed. As for Kress, although he became the champion of Capua City, his skills have not yet reached the peak, and he is slightly inferior to these people. β
Since coming to Rome, Li Nan has systematically understood the strength of gladiators for the first time, originally he thought that Dorcott and Kress were the pinnacle of force in this world, but he never expected that they were only in the third or fourth rank.
From this, it can be inferred how strong the god-level gladiator Shadow of Death Osex's true strength is, and it is also understood why Soronis dares to challenge the ten gladiators of the Ruthus training ground with three generals.
Finally, Dorcott solemnly said to everyone: "To tell the truth, each of you will definitely die against Ossex alone, but you have a glimmer of life now, that is, to work together, to work together, to attack and defend, to fight with him with all your might, or to run away as you are now, and all die in the arena." β
After giving the gladiators some time to rest, Docott picked up his sword again and asked, "Now let me see what you're really capable of." β
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes were full of surging battle intent, and they all rushed forward......
Ludia, who was on the balcony, looked at these gladiators who were fighting desperately, as well as her beloved secret lover, and sighed softly: "In three days, they will go to the arena to die, is it too late to train now?" β
Quintus also didn't have much hope for this game, and said in a low mood: "There is always some benefit to grinding guns in the battle, I'll go to the city for a walk." β
A few days passed quickly, and in the face of this life-and-death battle, the ten gladiators who participated in this match at the Rudes Training Ground all took all the money they had accumulated to Ashur to bet, because if he died, the money would be useless.
The name of Shadow of Death Osex's resounded throughout the Roman Republic, so although it was a three-on-ten competition, everyone still bet on the side of Osex, causing the odds of Li Nan and others to be extremely high.
The weather was still as usual today, with the sun shining brightly in the sky, but the largest arena in Capua City was already packed, and all the nobles and commoners gathered here to wait for the biggest gladiator tournament in years.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Kravis, the administrator of Capua, stood in the main stand and said through a rudimentary amplifier: "People of Capua! Brothers and sisters of Rome! In the name of my ancestors, I'm Titas. Kravis solemnly introduces you to this life-and-death battle sacrificed to the goddess of the harvest! β
"First of all, please, Quintus. Ten excellent gladiators from the Batitas camp. They are the champions of Capua and the darlings of everyone, Cresser the Gaul, Balka the beast from Carthage, Spartacus the Thracian who killed four gladiators in his first battle, and the skilled Bone Crusher, the Yellow Slayer of the Seres......"
"Our champion Kress!"
"The beast of Carthage!"
"Bone Crusher!"
The oval-shaped arena was filled with the cheers of the spectators for their favorite gladiators, and only Spartacus, who had surrendered, was booed and invulnerable.
Li Nan and the others wore helmets and weapons, and walked into the wide arena one after another, signaling to their supporters in the stands.
Kravis pointed in another direction and continued: "The enemy that these ten gladiator elites will face today is a man who has never been defeated, a beast that has never been conquered, and an undefeated legend from Soronis. Shadow of Death of Marcus' camp, Theox and two other Seres gladiators! β
The steel gate on the other side of the arena opened, and a middle-aged man about two meters tall and holding two long swords slowly walked out from inside.
The exaggerated arches of the eyebrows and cheekbones form extremely deep eye sockets, the scars and pitted faces show the many glorious achievements and terrifying experiences in the past, the white hair scattered on the sides gives people an incomparable vicissitudes, and the unique blood-colored pupils create a demonic bloodthirsty boundless murderous aura.
It can be said that the visual impact of the Shadow of Death Theokos is extremely strong, not to mention its unparalleled height, and a strong body far beyond ordinary people, that terrifying face alone is far from being "not angry and self-assured", and in the arena in the face of such an opponent, I am afraid that everyone can only despair.
Slowly but steadily walked to the middle of the arena, all the spectators were stunned by his appearance and momentum, and dark clouds drifted behind him, blocking the dazzling light of the sun.
