Chapter 18: The Petrified Scorpion

With the instructor's words, another slave walked up. This time it was a woman who came up, wearing a coarse cloth dress similar to that of Leah and the others, with no extra armor, and instead a long staff in her hand.

[No wand...... Oh, too......]

Little Lori was puzzled for a moment, and then relieved. For this kind of mage who has been trained in a hurry for months, it would be nice to be able to raise his staff and release an arcane missile and magic shield, and expect to stand in the gladiatorial arena with some complicated magic.

As for the girl's opponent.

"Let me introduce you to the infamous Federo parasitic wasp!"

The opposite gate was opened, and a huge bee-like insect flew out.

The creature seems to have been specially trained, and instead of flying into the air and escaping from here, it pounced on the female slave.

[This...... It seems that there is no help......]

Leah frowned, agile, deadly, and a flying unit, the last attribute that a junior mage wants to see, this bug has all of them.

Soon, with a sting in the flank, the girl in the field slowly collapsed, unable to move anymore.

"Maybe some of you know about this insect......"

Marlock scanned the crowd and noticed that some of them had ugly faces.

"Yes, the sting of this bee is not fatal, but it can paralyze people. After that...... It injects eggs into the body of its prey. The prey does not die immediately, but waits in paralysis for the larvae to hatch and eats their bodies bit by bit. ”

The entomology that Mallock teaches is similar to that of Earth, but the big difference is that the prey of these guys is not caterpillars, but humans.

The next scene was very heavy, and most of the people started vomiting. Even Leah couldn't help but close her eyes.

"If you're wondering what these worms look like when they hatch and emerge from human bodies, I'll be happy to take you to the execution show in a few days. ”

Mallock laughed gloatingly.

"Next...... It's the desert red viper, and its hemolytic toxin will make you bleed from every hole in your head. ”

Strange creatures are the same, and few of the slaves who come into the field can defeat them. However, there are exceptions, Leah estimated. About thirty percent of slaves survived.

[I see...... Use the threat of death to force them forward, thus forming a fighting force in a short time. 】

Judging from the experience of the Demon Martial Arts Academy, it takes at least a year for a warrior to learn the fighting spirit - not the fancy decoration of Leah, but the real fighting spirit.

But in this gladiatorial arena, these slaves mastered the fighting spirit in only a few months, because they knew that if they didn't fight hard, the end would be miserable. Very miserable!

"Each of you who was bought by Lord Bradford has some martial arts or magic. Does anyone want to challenge it now? Just pass this trial and you will become our brother and sister. ”

Finally, Marlock looked at them with a threatening gaze.

For a moment, no one stepped forward, because they had only seen with their own eyes not long ago how these terrible creatures preyed on the slaves on the field.

"Me!"

Leah, however, raised her hand. Months of training? By that time the daylily is going to be cold.

"Wait! you're going to be torn apart by those beasts!"

A woman who seems to be full of motherhood wants to stop Leah. It's probably because I can't bear to see a certain Lori encounter some strange hunting END.。

Syllable!

"Shut up, it's not your turn to speak here. ”

However, she was whipped to the ground by Mallock.

"I read that right, you're a brave little fellow. Eight thousand gold coins. Let's see if you're worth the money Lord Bradford. ”

The bald man laughed.

"Eight thousand gold coins!?"

"Hey...... True......fake"

Whispers were heard from the crowd. These slaves were all skilled in martial arts or magic. But it's far from the level of little Lori. So they are sold very cheaply, and some people are afraid that it is more than the price of a good horse.

Despite the commotion in the crowd, Leah received her weapons and equipment, and then went to the gladiatorial arena.

"Come on, is my opponent a bee or a spider? Let me tell you with my sword that the slave market sold me too cheap!"

Leah looked up. Said to Marlock in the audience.

[Yes, 8,000 gold coins is just a down payment, and the show is still to come. I'm afraid he's going to lose the entire duchy for this deal. 】

The girl thought so.

"Rest assured, your enemy is neither a bee nor a spider, but a terrifying petrified scorpion!"

The opposite door opened. Crawling out of it was a huge scorpion.

"The monster petrified scorpion, its carapace is as hard as a rock, and its tail thorns hide a terrifying petrified poison. It will petrify the limbs of its prey, then disembowel, and eat the internal organs!"

The bald instructor introduced the monster in front of him as always.

The difference between a monster and a beast is magic, the petrified scorpion's body is solidified with body protection stone skin, and the tail thorn hides a petrified toxin. Even a well-trained Randall soldier would not choose to face such an enemy alone.

"So...... Let's get started!!"

With the sound of the horn, the battle between a man and a beast began.

【!?】

However, what Mallock didn't expect was that the petrified scorpion was actually retreating.

[A beast is a beast after all, although it has no intelligence, but it has a keen instinct. 】

Leah couldn't help but think as she looked at the petrified scorpion's movements.

There is no doubt that even if a hundred of these scorpions are not enough for her to fight, the petrified scorpion seems to instinctively perceive that she has bumped into the big boss.

"In that case, let me take the lead. ”

The petrified scorpion refused to step forward, so little Lori took the initiative to charge.

Laugh at!

A sharp dagger pierced the joints of the joints. Faced with this pesky stone shell, Leah chose the crevice where her defenses were weak.

The attacked scorpion went berserk, swinging its giant pincers to grab Leah.

However, little Lori carefully jumped out of the opponent's attack range.

[Warcraft is a Warcraft ...... in the end]

Although these monsters look terrifying, their attacks are extremely simple, such as this petrified scorpion, which has a monotonous attack method, grabbing its prey with pincers and then making up for it.

"I'll take the claws!!"

Leah thought about it for a moment and decided to get rid of one of the other party's pincers first. Taking advantage of the opponent's blow, she detoured to the side of the scorpion, and while the shield blocked the spikes, the short sword stabbed into the junction of the scorpion pincer carapace, and then wrenched hard! )
