97. The Colosseum

This level is three days, except for the regular three meals that are brought in, there is nothing else, and Nicholas goes to the toilet and solves it anywhere, which is why he smells a foul smell when he comes in. There was no way to clean the environment with cleanliness, and Nicholas got used to the smell after two days of endurance.

Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, someone else came in: "Set him up and take him to the preparation room." There was more than one person coming, and several attendant-like men opened the door of the dungeon, and without saying a word, they picked up Nicholas and walked out, and the one who spoke at first followed them.

Nicholas also knows where he is now, and there is nothing he can do but try to live.

It took more than half an hour just to move, and fortunately, Nicholas didn't go on a hunger strike, so even if the magic power was sealed, his physique still didn't drop too much. It's still okay to walk for more than half an hour.

Along the way, the people who carried him along did not hide his intentions, did not put blindfolds on Nicholas or cast an eye-covering spell or anything. So Nicholas could now clearly see the building erected in front of him: a huge circular building, eight stories high, and if he guessed correctly, it should have been a Colosseum or a gladiatorial arena. It doesn't take much thought to know what Nicholas is doing when he pulls himself in, and he can't be a spectator, so he can only be a player. Hopefully, when the time comes, these people will take off the bracelet and at least give themselves a chance to cast spells.

The group pushed Nicholas into the preparation room and turned to leave, Nicholas loosened his sore arms and looked around at the same time, and he was alone in the whole preparation room. There are weapon racks and armor racks next to it, and it seems that they are arming themselves personally. The bracelet didn't take off, and Nicholas didn't worry too much, most of the pure gladiatorial fights were like this.

Having chosen a set of light armor, a short spear that most resembled a staff, a shield on his back, and a leather armor cap, Nicholas was armed.

The next step is to adjust the status in the preparation room.

Nicholas's situation is good, and he can use a preparation room for one person, while the average gladiator uses a preparation room for more than a dozen people, and he will fight in order to grab weapons and armor. The number of gladiators who died in the preparation room was comparable to the number of gladiators who died in the gladiatorial arena.

After waiting for an hour, someone knocked on the door: "Are the people inside alright?" ready to play!" Nicholas opened his eyes and answered, and his heart, which had been a little restless, began to beat violently.

"Follow me. The man opened the door to the preparation room, and he was not afraid that Nicholas would attack him from behind, so he led the way in front. Nicholas stood up and strode to follow the man leading the way.

Turning left and right a few times, Nicholas came to a gate behind a gate: "You are the eighth gladiator, a newcomer, do you have a title?" Nicholas got closer and found that the leader was a young man, not tall and thin, but in the face of the heavily armed Nicholas, this young man was not afraid at all. "Nope. Nicholas replied honestly, "Then hurry up and think of one." The boy urged, "Five, four, three...", and even began the countdown..."Survivors." Nicholas was already very nervous, and when he heard the boy start counting down, he casually said: "Okay, survivor, the door will open in five minutes, and you will be on the field, and the light of death will shine on you." The boy hastily wrote down Nicholas's gladiatorial nickname and ran away, apparently to report to the host.

Five minutes later, the door opened: "Welcome Eight Gladiator, please... The living !!" cheered from the stands. Nicholas's eyes narrowed slightly to adapt to the sudden light, and after ten seconds of adaptation, he looked at the opponents around him: "This is a battle between gladiators, and the winner will automatically join the next sacrifice battle! Now that the players have already entered, let's count down together! Three! two! One! Start !!" The host immediately began the countdown of the official match after Nicholas entered the arena.

Nicholas quickly got into combat mode, holding a gun in his right hand, taking out a shield from behind him to protect his chest, and craned his neck to cover half of his face, leaving only his eyes to observe his opponent. These were not taught in the academy, and if it weren't for the fact that Nicholas had read a lot of novels about gladiators and books on physical arts, he would have been at a loss at first. Nicholas now feels grateful for that time of isolation at Junior College.

Several of the surrounding gladiators began to move, and none of them killed each other, but focused on Nicholas. With his back to the gate, he had enemies on his left and right, and he was not fast enough to circle his opponent with a gun and shield. Only one can be solved first!

Nicholas did not stay where he was and wait for the opposite side to form an encirclement, but charged directly to the left, a javelin stuck in the place where he was originally standing, and the other party still knew how to use long-range weapons? Before swinging the axe, Nicholas silently recited several times the phrase that the protagonist mentioned most often to his disciple in the book "Legend of the Gladiator".

The opponent swung too fast, Nicholas looked at the opponent's huge muscles and knew that he could not use his shield to block, and with a sudden brake, the axe slashed in front of his feet, and the short spear stabbed out, and the opponent was forced to give up the axe to avoid Nicholas's short spear. Before Nicholas could stab him a second time, the javelin shot at him again, and Nicholas quickly closed his shield in front of the spear, and bang! "Ah!!h

This javelin also gave Nicholas time to draw the axe in front of him, and the other party did not waste the opportunity to pull out the axe and slash horizontally, a height at which Nicholas could have his head cut off even if he squatted. If Nicholas chooses to jump, then the gladiators who come in the back will chop Nicholas, who has nowhere to dodge in the air, into meat sauce.

Nicholas chose to rush forward and block the opponent's axe handle with the handle of the short gun, and bang, Nicholas couldn't stand on his feet this time, and was swept out directly, he felt as if his right hand had been broken.

Holding the spear so hard that discarding the weapon was tantamount to discarding hope of life, Nicholas blocked another javelin with his left hand: This javelinman is too much of a threat to me, and I must deal with it first. Just the distance that was swept back was enough for Nicholas to speed up towards the bidding gladiators: "The survivors gave up breaking through from the direction of the butcher and went to the headhunters instead. ”

Fortunately, Nicholas had also practiced physical skills for a year, and when he ran at this time, the other gladiators really couldn't catch up.
