Chapter 19: Becoming a Gladiator

The dagger severed the tendons and nerves hidden beneath the carapace, leaving the petrified scorpion's left claw hanging down.

Don't always think about killing with one blow, you have to fight your opponent and keep weakening him until he can't fight again!"

Marlock was pleased with Leah's performance, and he wasted no time in explaining it aloud to the slaves.

"If you don't want to die in the gladiatorial arena, you'd better remember every word of mine from now on!"

The slaves cheered up and watched Lori in the arena strongly, trying to engrave her every movement in their minds.

[Next to the feet!]

Another attack, another block, and in this encounter, Leah took one of the Scorpion's left legs.

[Okay! Another one!]

Without giving the other a respite, she cut in from the left side again, and then plunged her dagger into the scorpion's other leg.

Boom!

The stinger splattered fire on the round shield, and the girl accurately blocked the opponent's counterattack.

The petrified scorpion has three claws on the left and right, and now after the two are abolished by Lori, the left side is full of flaws.

"That's it! Your attack must take advantage of the enemy's weak spots! If not, then be like that girl, create weaknesses! If you are ruthless enough, you can drive any enemy crazy!"

Marlock raved about Leah's textbook dueling skills. He had to admit that the girl was right, and the Marquis of Bradford's business was definitely earned. Because Leah is not only good at "fighting spirit", but also has rich combat experience.

"Next...... It's almost over......"

Leah stopped her offensive and watched the scorpion's state. Although the girl is not good at martial arts, there is such a thing as combat experience, and sometimes there is an exchange between mages and warriors.

"Come on! this is the end!"

Confirming that the scorpion was starting to get tired, she rushed towards the other party.

"A mistake. You have to remember. Never underestimate your opponents. Warcraft are called Warcraft because they use magic!"

Mallock shook his head, indicating that Leah's approach was too abrupt.

Just as he had said, the scorpion lifted its intact right pincer and slammed it into the ground, causing the earth to stir as the magic ran wild on the surface.

[Hmph!Carving insect skills!]

However, it's a pity. It was up to Leah, a true archmage. The girl didn't even have to stop, she could understand the enemy's attack direction just by the fluctuations of the elements.

【Left!】

She jumped to the right, and a large stalagmite stabbed out of her left foot.

【Right!】

There was a stalagmite, this time coming from the right.

【Straight ahead!】

【Left!】

[Still on the left!]

Earth Spike, the last magic of the petrified scorpion, summons countless stalagmites to pierce opponents from the ground.

However, these deadly sharp stones were nothing to mention in front of Leah. The girl swooped in front of the scorpion, still attacking along the weakly defended left side.

Boom!

Scorpiontail is blocked again. Leah reached out and grabbed the giant tail, and the dagger swung down!

Tsk-!!

The petrified scorpion let out a painful insect chirping, and its tail thorn was cut off by a sword from Lori!

"Well, maybe I underestimated her. But I'm still going to say that you should remember my words unless you can dodge the magic like she did. ”

Although he was slapped in the face by little Lori, Mallock didn't care. It's better to say. The better the girl's performance, the happier he became.

"It's your turn to try this!"

At the same time, Lea in the arena stabbed the severed spike into the petrified scorpion's remaining left leg.

Poison blooms in the bloodstream. It seems that this scorpion is not immune to its own toxins. The only movable right limb begins to stiffen, and then becomes unable to move.

"Whew...... It's over. ”

At this point, the battle was out of suspense, and the girl stood beside the scorpion, pointed her dagger at it, and then looked up at Malok.

The bald instructor raised his hand, this petrified scorpion was expensive. It stands to reason that he should have let Leah let it go, however......

[This scorpion has no stinger, and even if its limbs can be restored, it will be useless.] 】

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and compared the thumb of his right hand downward.

Little Lori had heard the rules of gladiatorial fights from the vampires of the slave market. Thumb down means - kill the other person.

So she plunged her dagger into the scorpion's eye, straight to the marrow of the brain.

"Well done!"

Looking at the girl who walked onto the audience, Mallock did not hesitate to applaud.

"From today onwards, you are one of us!"

The big man, who is always fierce, rarely showed a smile.

Little Lori broke away from these newly bought slaves and joined the people who had fought and survived the gladiatorial fight, and they would all become gladiators of the Bradford family.

That night, the girl met Alchemist Kai.

"Isa...... Well, from today onwards, you will usher in a new life, honor, money, are no longer dreams, even freedom, is not out of reach. ”

Kai paints a bright future for every new gladiator. Little Lori might have been happier if he hadn't held a red-hot soldering iron and had the Bradford family logo on everyone's collar.

[Slave honor, slave money, and...... Slave freedom? Don't tease me. 】

She touched the brand on her collar, hot and unpleasant.

Regardless, she managed to accomplish her first mission - to infiltrate the gladiators.

The next day, Marlock took them to the Colosseum, where they would learn the skills of gladiators with their seniors. Before that, however, the bald instructor had to introduce her to everyone.

"This is Isha, and from today onwards, she will be your companion!"

"Wait!She's only here yesterday, why can a newcomer get branded!?"

A man with a small head stood up and shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Because she passed the trial, champion. ”

Marlock called the man the champion, and Leah guessed that the man was probably the strongest of all the gladiators.

"Day one? You're kidding, Marlock. ”

The other shook his head, incredulous.

"You can't be the only one who can do that, Cyrus. She is also a person with a foundation. ”

Maloc gave the man's real name.

"So what did she beat? a cooing chicken?"

The man's yin and yang tone made the gladiators in the audience laugh.

"A petrified scorpion. ”

Soon, however, they could no longer laugh and felt as if they were choking on food.

"If you're not lying to me, our new lady must be a monster. ”

Cyrus shook his head.

"I never lie to you. ”

Mallock shook his head as well.

"Come on, everyone. Whether that girl really has that kind of strength, let me try it. ”

At this moment, the girl who was standing beside Cyrus stepped forward. (To be continued.) )
