Chapter 35: The Second Gladiatorial Battle

Life Steal I, which can absorb the life force of the other party through close contact.

It can interfere with the flow of life force in the other person's body, for example, after creating a wound, the other party's life force cannot flow in, resulting in a delay in the wound healing. Or it locks the flow of life force at the shoulder, causing the arm to die and shrink due to lack of vitality.

You can also take the stolen life force into a drop of the flesh essence Stamina, which will become a healing elixir when diluted, and can quickly recover the injury by applying it externally.

The absorbed life force can be used to meet the needs of flesh I to take 2ml of blood every day.

Asker looked at the text message from Nora on his phone, and he got a rough idea of Peggy's abilities.

Very good, then there is 1 level2 in the team. Asker thought to himself, if you count Medea, a half.

Life Steal I, which still has a bit of a role in the early battles, is completely reduced to chicken ribs in the later stages of the game. Because you have to make contact to absorb the life force, and the enemy obviously won't stand there and fool you to.

As a result, it has become a lewd way of fighting with the enemy in battle, and the amount of blood that can be sucked is really limited. If you reach Life Steal II in this sequence, it will become a long-range lifesteal, which is much more useful in combat.

"In the next gladiatorial fight, our opponent is the yellow team." The big man "Barbarian" sharpened his battle axe beside him, and said lightly, "The leader of the team is a Varyag, a descendant of our Vikings of the same race in the Siberian wilderness. ”

"He's armed with an extra-large sword that needs to be held with both hands, longer and heavier than the greatsword you used in your last battle. I was once defeated by him, and I was able to save my life by dropping my weapon in time. ”

"If you can." He picked up the battle axe and blew into the surface of the light sword, "Kill him this time." ”

"Are you so murderous?" Asker frowned. If this guy is a murderer, isn't recruiting into the team to destroy everyone's unity?

"Hey, aren't you a gladiator just to kill people?" Barbarians are strangely authentic.

"It's not." Asker replied with reason. I became a gladiator for the potion of Sharps I, and to see if I could recruit potential teammates, "Are you here to kill?" ”

"Of course not." The barbarian said, "I went to enlist in the Emperor's Varangian Shield's Guard, but I was rejected for an interview. The money I brought was spent on the road again, and I had no choice but to come here to eat as a gladiator. ”

"Do you have any dreams?" Asker casually asked, "For example, when you have money." ”

"I want to be a lord." The barbarian said, "First find a random nobleman to take allegiance, then be made a knight, get your own territory, and finally kill thieves and criminals who have escaped from prison every day." ”

"And you say you're not murderous?" Asker couldn't help but laugh, "Who would dream of killing a criminal?" ”

"I'm not looking for killing, I'm about enjoying the fight, you know? For us Northlanders, only by dying honorably as a warrior can we be taken to Valhalla, where we can feast, sing, and fight all day long. The barbarian sighed.

Asker heard the noise outside boiling again: "It's time for 3 hours, it's time for us to fight." ”

"It's the two of us." The barbarian corrected him, "These cowards cloaked in red are not going to fight alongside us. ”

"Yes, both of us." Asker picked up the Caucasian straight sword, "Then let's go." ”

"Wait, you don't need that two-handed greatsword from last time?" The barbarian asked incredulously.

"Change your weapon and play with it." Asker said.

"How can you just change weapons?" The barbarian expressed incomprehension, "Haven't you heard the saying: the weapon is the bride of the warrior." ”

"That's okay too." Asker joked, "I have a lot of wives. ”

"If you have a heart, be careful of being betrayed by your wife on the battlefield one day." The barbarian said.

"You two are endless!" Theotis, who was leading the red team in front, was furious, and turned around and shouted angrily, "If you want to talk, get out into the stinky ditch outside the gladiatorial arena and talk!" ”

All members of the RED team walked out of the passage and came to the gladiatorial arena to meet the yellow gladiators who were walking opposite.

These Yellow gladiators generally wore armor, and the armor rate was much higher than that of the previous Blue Team, and the personnel were mainly stronger Franks.

Leading the Yellow Team was a Northland Varyag with unkempt hair and large blue eyes like bears, and his whole body was wrapped in steel armor after wearing armor, showing no gaps.

"The red team is already on the pitch too! The leader of the tour is the familiar Thracian 'brown bear'! The host howled like an overdrunk drunk, "Also! Yes! Our hero from the last battle, the 'Vikings', killed three blue-clad gladiators alone!! ”

The crowd immediately cheered wildly, and apparently quite a few people still watched the last game.

"Do me a favor." Theotis shook hands with Team Leader Huang and whispered in his ear, "Later, kill the two people on the far right of my team, and the reward is 3 pounds." ”

"5 pounds." From behind the visor, the cold voice of the Varyag could be heard, "Their bones will be broken into pieces." ”

"Deal." Theotis nodded slightly.

After the two sides finished saluting, they led their teammates out five paces away, drew their weapons and waited for them.

"Who can be the MVP of this bloody gladiatorial fight?" The host is still yelling, "Is it the leader of the yellow side, the 'bone cutter', or the leader of the red side, the 'brown bear'?" Can the 'Vikings' who brought us a carnival feast last time continue his glory in this field......"

"Wait, I'm not mistaken, right?" The Vikings' is holding a one-handed straight sword, not his signature two-handed greatsword? ”

The referee of the Colosseum also walked in and asked Asker:

"You didn't make the mistake of choosing a weapon, did you? If it's because there aren't two-handed greatswords in the training ground, I can help you get one from the warehouse. ”

"No, thank you." Asker said, "I'm going to use this straight sword this time." ”

The referee nodded and made a "continue" gesture to the surrounding audience. In the loudspeaker of the megaphone, the host's incredible voice came:

'Oh my God!' The Vikings refused the referee's permission to change their weapons, and decided to use a one-handed straight sword in this gladiatorial fight? Think again, Vikings! The audience wants to see the heroic posture of you wielding your greatsword and smashing your enemies to pieces, not the miserable posture of being killed because of your thin weapons! ”

"How can a 'Viking' who doesn't use heavy weapons be called a 'Viking'? Do you want to change your nickname? Sicilian? Libyans? The Cyris people? ”

"This explanation is so annoying." Asker grumbled, "Is there a way to shut him up?" ”

"Do you feel the same way?" The barbarian chimed in, "I've put up with him for half a year. If I could kill him, I'd rather not be a one-day champion. ”

In the box above the audience of the Colosseum, the officers of the Imperial Guard and the captain Michael were staring coldly at the Colosseum below.

To be exact, staring at Asker in a red gladiatorial robe.

"The host is too noisy." Michael frowned and said, "Shut him up." ”

"Yes." The two officers got up and went out.

In the loudspeaker speaker, the host's roar continued:

“…… Listen, our audience is applauding too. 'Vikings', my brother taught you a truth, a man's weapon can not be sharp, but it must be big! Coarse! Hard! How can a small toothpick-like weapon like a one-handed straight sword be considered a weapon? Let me tell you...... Yes? Who are you? You can't come in here...... Yes! ”

The sound of a microphone snatch and a brawl came from the loudspeaker, accompanied by a scream, and then there was no movement.

Asker and the barbarian looked at each other speechlessly.

"I didn't do it." The barbarian shrugged, "I take back that sentence. Even if the host is killed, I still want to be this one-day champion. ”

"It's not about the host." "The reason you can't be a one-day champion is because I'm here. ”

"Okay." The barbarian said excitedly, "Then we will kill more people than who killed this time." ”

The starting gun sounded, and the battle began immediately. The red-clad gladiators continued to shrink their formation rapidly, isolating Aske and the barbarians on the right flank. The yellow team also seemed to have cooperated, and two yellow-clothed gladiators rushed out. One of them was none other than the leader of the team, the Varyag "Bone Cutter".

"I'll pester him." Staring at the 2-meter-tall and armored bone-cutter, the barbarian, who was only 1.9 meters tall, showed an attitude like a great enemy, "You go and get rid of his deputy 'Bloodthirsty' first." ”

"Why don't we change it?" Aske objected.

He stepped forward and stabbed his opponent with a single sword. The bone-slasher under the visor smiled coldly, and the great sword in his hand swung like a storm - it was an extra-large sword with a length of more than two meters, and it required a lot of strength to use it well due to the distance of the center of gravity. However, once used, it is extremely powerful, and the impact surface is huge.

I saw that Asker seemed to have expected it, and at the moment when the big sword slashed over, a tumbling rolled and flashed from under the sword wind. The bone-slasher's arm exerted another force, and the great sword turned in a slight arc, slashing down again like Mount Tai crushing the top.

There was a loud bang, and the stone floor of the arena was almost split by the extra-large sword. The Bonecutter looked up in disbelief, only to see Asker stepping on his megasword intact, straight on his shoulder.

"That's right, you actually used your skills to use such a fierce weapon." He smiled and said, "I happen to be short of a companion, are you interested?" ”

Compared with the barbarian, this bone-cutter is obviously more in line with the positioning of "violent export", so Asker didn't bother to continue to observe, and directly tried to recruit him.

"Me?" The bone-cutter was stunned for a moment, and then misunderstood what the other party meant. Lao Tzu left the leader of the Yellow Team and went to be your companion to the Red Team gladiator? Fuck, even if the leader of the red team, the 'brown bear', is here, he wouldn't dare to make such a mockery of Lao Tzu!

He bared his teeth, laughed angrily, and said:

"Well, there's a skull missing from my loot, would you be interested in being their companion?"

"Can't you? What a pity. Aske said lamentingly. I saw that the bone slasher held the extra-large sword with both hands, and slammed it upward. Asker was swept away by his sheer force, and his sword stabbed straight through the air, targeting between the eyes of the bone-chopper.

"Caucasus assassination swordsmanship, shadow eagle plunder." In the box, Michael looked down and said suddenly.

The Bonecutter released his weapon with his left hand and grabbed at the tip of the sword. His palms were covered with steel armor, and he could easily twist it into a twist by grasping the one-handed straight sword. Asker's sword was a little on his helmet's nose guard, and it quickly withdrew like the wind, and his backhand landed on his shoulder.

"Far Eastern swordsmanship, falling phoenix slash." Said another Imperial officer.
