Chapter Ninety-Four: Death Fight

"Bang!" The huge wooden stick slammed into the stone slab, making it seem that the wide, thick stone slab in the center of the entire arena seemed to shake at the same time.

Of course, this is just a delusion. This stone slab, which served as a gladiatorial platform, was nailed with thick iron bolts at the four corners and chained to the stone pillar on the side, so that it could be suspended above a pond of sewage, because the weight of the slate itself was more stable than expected, and the power of the ogre was not enough to disturb the balance.

I dodged the downed wooden rod and leaped to my feet, my sword plucked out, piercing the throat of the last of my opponents. It threw away the huge wooden stick in its hand, covered its neck with both hands, opened its fanged mouth wide and tried to breathe, but it could only spew blood foam from its mouth, and let out a desperate "uh...... uh......" dying voice.

The three-meter-tall giant collapsed, lying with four of its other companions.

I stumbled in my footsteps, and quickly flipped my wrist and held it on with my sword.

How many times is this today?

At first, there were two bear goblin slaves who were only of a decent strength except for their frightening size, and in my eyes they were nothing more than chickens and dogs, and the battle ended in less than a minute.

Then there are the three orc warriors, who are not as capable as the previous bear goblins except for their courage.

Then there were the five lizardmen who first threw a round of javelins and then charged with spears. These lancholy-like creatures stand upright, and there's nothing to mention about them except that they have a disgusting ability to emit a foul odor.

The fourth scene is four gnolls with coyote heads who "cooperate with each other". Let my companions pin me in the front, and try to flank or surprise at the back by themselves. The problem is that everyone expects it to be someone else who is trying to contain their opponent head-on. They could have done better, and the gnolls should have been more courageous than the goblins, perhaps due to the corpses that had not been cleaned up in the previous two battles. I only paid the price for a minor wound in the back - another surprise attack while killing the second Gnoll, and the chainmail shirt I was wearing was torn by a hand axe, but it still worked to minimize the damage I suffered.

The opponents in the fifth game are five goblin warriors, the goblins are not powerful creatures, weaker than their cousins, the bear goblins who appeared in the first game, but among them are the fierce wolf goblin knights! I once watched four ferocious wolf goblin knights slay the former star of the arena, the minotaur berserker Kuka. Luckily, there was only one Vicious Wolf Goblin Knight, and after I took the risk to kill the Ferocious Wolf and its knights, the rest was not difficult to deal with. But when I killed the Tyrannical Wolf, my unprotected left arm was also cut by the Goblin Knight's scimitar.

The sixth scene is four Kou Tao Fishmen. These frog-like warriors are at their best when they're in the water, but they're tricky opponents even on land. They are armed with a strangely long weapon called the Pincer Staff, which can pinn down and deal damage to their opponents when they hit. When I break through the range of the pincer and approach the Koutao Fishmen, they will also abandon the pincer staff, which cannot attack in close combat, and use the shield on their back and the short sword at their waist. If I hadn't noticed the suspicious shiny surface of the shield in time, I would have almost glued the sword on. The surface of the shield was apparently smeared with a slime mixed with other substances from the Koutao's own body, which would stick to any creature or object that touched the surface of the shield like fly paper. After noticing this trap, and with a little effort, these amphibious creatures that were not armor-piercing, defenseless except shields, and much more clumsy on land than in water, fell under my sword.

The seventh game is five gray dwarf warriors, who are not strong in combat, but with the gray dwarf's racial talent skill - stealth, they can be regarded as a seeded team in the gladiatorial arena, but they met me, the nemesis of illusion. Confidence in their own gifts hastened their deaths. This one was easier to deal with than the previous two, but I also got a stone flying out of the sling, and luckily the chainmail came with a helmet, and I just felt a little dizzy.

The eighth game I just experienced was to deal with five ogre warriors. They are the worst of the giants, and there are a number of ogres as slaves in Demon Blade City. However, the ogre is also a giant after all, and his strength is strong, and the giant wooden stick will break his muscles and bones if he doesn't die. So it took a lot of trouble to slowly fight with them and kill them, although he avoided damage in order to cope with the next gladiatorial fight, but he almost ran out of physical strength.

The "Death Fight" is no more dangerous than the normal gladiatorial fight I participated in before, that is, it is continuous, almost without rest, and the physical strength consumed has no time to recover. If I hadn't used the second-level ability "Biomimicry" to reshape myself based on the ferocious wolf, I improved my strength attribute by 5 and constitution by 5, and with the original 12 constitution, I am afraid that my physical strength would not be able to last.

"Biomimicry" seems to be the most useful second-level ability, because it can't be used in front of everyone, so I can show this once now, and it lasts for 6 hours, and I can use it on myself in advance when no one is around.

The limitation of this ability is that it can only be shown to itself, and it can only choose animals that have been observed to imitate its stats, and can increase up to 5 of its stats. That is, creatures that do not belong to the category of animals or animals that have not been seen cannot be chosen to emulate. Biomimicry can only be imitated by one stat value per manifestation, but the effects of multiple manifestations can be applied at the same time, however, the animal that is emulated by multiple manifestations of Biomimicry must be the same species.

Theoretically, all six of my attributes could be enhanced in this way, but who might have less intelligence and charisma than an animal? And my perception is already very high, and it is not comparable to that of mere animals. As for agility, there may be some animals that are slightly higher than me in this regard, but after a few days of ability experiments, there are definitely ferocious wolves in it. However, the ferocious wolf is already my best choice, after all, there are any powerful monsters, magic beasts, and even otherworldly creatures that may exist underground, but there is a lack of powerful animals, and even the ferocious wolf is captured from the surface.

I looked up into the stands, where a mage was smiling and giving me a thumbs up, shaking the purse in his hand vigorously...... I knew there was something this guy was trying to get me to fight!

Because the nobility is not suitable for gladiatorial competition, I pretend to be a slave who has been reduced by a commoner because of debts, and must participate in gladiatorial battles to repay debts in order to restore commoner status, of course, the master is Yichen. He had people use his skills to disguise my face, and he also performed a "transfiguration" on me, a double disguise that completely changed my appearance to avoid being recognized as my true identity, and then used a "Mask Aura" spell to obscure the magical aura of the "Transfiguration".

I also took off all my original magical equipment and replaced it with a normal chain armor and longsword shield to match my fake identity. As a Soul Warrior, my own strength is weaker than that of a warrior, and I can't use my abilities in front of everyone, and without the original magic equipment, my strength has plummeted! If it weren't for the "Biomimicry", an ability that is difficult for others to detect, to strengthen my strength and physical attributes, I wouldn't have survived the eighth battle at all.

It's just that he listened to Yichen's slander and agreed to participate in ten consecutive "death fights", but he didn't consider the important difference between the normal gladiatorial fights where he could get rest and heal between them, and the "death fights" where there was no rest time between the games.

The piercing sound of the horn sounded and was deafening. In the anxious shouts of the audience. I still sensitively hear the screak of the old noose, and the tall drawbridge slowly lowered.

What kind of opponent will this one be?
