Chapter 35: The Worst Ending
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? β
"Isn't it time to rest today? I just finished hunting vampires yesterday. β
"Yes. β
In the gladiatorial arena, everyone complained about today's sudden mission.
Syllable!
It wasn't until a whip sounded that they shut up.
"Wait, Marlock. Do you know why Lord Bradford is here today?"
However, as a champion, Cyrus is not afraid of the whip of his instructor.
"I didn't know that this was an internal family fight, and I only heard about it from Lord Bradford this morning. β
Mallock shook his head, indicating that he was also confused.
"Anyway, listen to me, Lord Kay Bradford will be watching the gladiatorial fight for himself today, and I guess he wants to see if his gladiators are worthy of the brand. β
He pointed to the clan emblem mark on his neck shackles, and continued:
"So cheer me up!! what will happen to people who don't perform well, I shouldn't need to talk about it!"
Marlock's words shook the hearts of all the gladiators. The patriarch personally watched the battle, which also meant that the guy who did not perform well would directly lose trust. Throwing it into a potions factory to do coolie labor is light, and if you swipe your thumb down, you're done.
Soon, the gladiators split into two groups and waited for a showdown.
[Sure enough......]
Leah looked around and noticed something that disturbed herβSue and Cyrus were on opposing groups.
Unseemly gladiatorial fights, delicate groupings. All of this led Leah to think of the worst possible scenario.
"What does Isha think she will have a chance of winning against Upper Thyrus?"
Sue walked over to Lori, sat down and asked.
"I don't know how many percent of the odds are won. But what I do know is that it's almost impossible for me to run into Cyrus. β
Leah looked out at the Colosseum through the gap in the fence.
"Huh, why?"
Sue asked.
β......β
Leah didn't speak, just sighed helplessly. If she was right, that Kai Bradford was going to do more than feed the beast to a girl who had lost her virginity.
"Isha, you ......"
The other party's performance made Su feel uneasy, and she wanted to ask something more, but Lori focused her attention on the gladiatorial arena a little deliberately. Never talk to her.
The process of gladiatorial fighting was fast, and most of the gladiators were already tired, and basically none of the fights were dragged into a protracted battle.
For the majority of the losers. Kaidu gave a thumbs up to spare his life. After all, they are all their own gladiators, and cultivating such a warrior is also very resource-intensive, and there is no reason to die in a civil war.
However, for a small number of people who perform too badly. He was still ruthlessly sentenced to death.
Soon. It was Leah's turn.
As her opponent, the gladiator looked dead. Because he knew that against such an opponent who was on par with the champion, he would probably be beaten to the ground without even having the slightest room to fight back. Such a one-sided battle will only show the incompetence of the loser, and it is easy to be sentenced to death, just like the unlucky ones in between.
"Alas......"
Leah sighed, knowing what her opponent was thinking.
So in the next battle, Little Lori was the same as a certain big demon king who fought against porcelain dolls. Symbolically released the water. The other party was overjoyed and immediately lost no time in attacking. The two of them seem to be fighting back and forth.
After a few rounds, Leah, who thought she was almost done, burst into vindictive spirits and knocked her enemy to the ground. The opponent also happily raised his hand to admit defeat.
The two acted very well, and Bradford said that the action movie was very enjoyable, so he gave a thumbs up.
"Thank you. β
The man whispered a thank you, then turned back to his group.
Leah walked back as well, and all that was left was to wait to see if Cerus's opponent was the same as she had guessed.
As one of the finalists, it didn't take long after Lori's battle to end that it was Cyrus' turn to play.
[Deception...... Yes. γ
At this time, Su's face was ugly, and she was already clearly aware that she and Cyrus were the last people in the two groups, in other words, their opponents could only be each other.
γIsha ......γ
Su remembered what little Lori had said before, and saw that the other party looked at the gladiatorial arena with a sad expression, as if he had foreseen something very bad.
"It's your turn, don't be sluggish. β
Mallock looked at Sue and said unhappily.
"Yes. β
With no choice, Su had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the gladiatorial arena with a harpoon and a net in hand.
"I didn't expect the opponent to be you, Sue. Looks like I'm in luck. β
Cyrus said as he looked at the girl from above. At this time, he was standing on a chariot pulled by two horses. If fishnet gladiators are a rare class, charioters like Cyrus are even rarer.
The Giant Chariot is a weapon that combines speed, attack and defense. In general, charioteers are only fought against charioteers, but sometimes the Colosseum will also place them against ordinary infantry. To bridge the gap in equipment, they will receive excellent magic weapons. For example, Sue now, the harpoon in her right hand exudes a cold smell, but the fishing net in her left hand is burning with raging flames.
The Ice Spear is used to reduce the agility of enemies, after which the Flaming Web will turn them into roast pigs. Despite the fact that Cyrus was riding in a chariot, Sue's weapons were not incapable of threatening the other side.
"So...... Come on. β
Cyrus smiled, and with one hand he took the reins and brandished his spear in the other, charging towards Sue. For the duel with his lover, the champion does not have any psychological burden. As long as he doesn't miss a shot, even if Sue loses the gladiatorial fight, he's confident that Kai Bradford will give him a thumbs up. This has happened before, and more than once.
"Hey!What's wrong!?"
Soon, however, he noticed that Su was a little absent-minded.
"I'm sorry. β
Hearing the other party's scolding, Su Qiang cheered up, although he cared about what Xiao Lori said, but now it was a gladiatorial fight, and it was not okay not to behave well.
The battle between the two lasted for a long time and was also exciting. Although Cyrus drove the chariot on a rampage, Sue used her magic weapon to slow down her horses, and then nimbly avoided the onslaught of the opponent, wielding a fire net in an attempt to get Cyrus out of the chariot.
However, the so-called champion was not such an easy opponent to deal with, and instead of avoiding Sue's attack, he took the opportunity to swing his spear and knock her out.
So the battle was over, and Cyrus looked up and looked at Kai Bradford with a smile, and in his opinion, it was a perfect gladiatorial fight, and both men used all their strength, so Sue had no reason to be sentenced to death.
However, the girl felt a chill, and she looked into the alchemist's eyes, and found that there was no smile in them, but rather anger in them.
The man slowly raised his hand, and with the movement of raising his arm, Su's heart beat faster and faster, and she had a very bad premonition, and it was very strong.
Eventually, Kay Bradford announced the result - with his thumb pointing downward! )
