Chapter 3: A Gladiatorial Fight

"Alone?"

Hearing this, a trace of surprise appeared on Rao is red dragon's expressionless face.

"That's right, finish this gladiatorial fight, and this bag of coins is yours. The fat man said with a rare seriousness, pointing to the heavy money bag held by a person behind him.

The red dragon walked over and looked at the money bag and nodded slowly.

...

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Imperial Colosseum, you have been waiting for a long time! The long-awaited gladiatorial battle will begin soon......"

Ignoring the host's passionate and heart-rending opening, Ember squinted his eyes as he walked out of the iron gate, and slowly walked towards the gladiator standing opposite.

The gladiator's costume was similar to that of an ordinary gladiator, shirtless, tall and mighty, half a head shorter than the current red dragon, and it was said that he had killed several ferocious beasts with the ordinary long sword and round shield in his hand. The bloody aura on his body faintly pressed the red dragon on the opposite side.

Of course, Ember is not a vegetarian, and he has defeated many beasts and even demonic beasts in the gladiatorial arena before, and this is the first time he has faced such an enemy, and he will definitely not be careless.

"Ang-" opened his mouth and let out a loud and long dragon groan, and the noisy gladiatorial arena was suddenly quiet for seven or eight minutes, and the red dragon was quite satisfied with this result, and then lowered his body and walked around the side of the gladiator, looking for possible flaws.

The gladiator moved, he jumped up and swung his sword at the red dragon's seemingly fragile neck, only to hear a "bang", and the long sword was shaken open - the red dragon raised his hand in time to block the powerful blow with his hard dragon claws.

Before the dragon could strike back, the gladiator opened up the distance with a roll, just a moment of temptation, the real battle is now the beginning!

The red dragon's expression was gloomy, the gladiator's strength was amazing, but it wasn't enough to look at the dragon, but his speed was just as amazing, making Ember feel threatened.

The threat came primarily from the ordinary iron longsword, which Ember believed he would be invincible if he guarded against it.

After a few seconds of confrontation, the red dragon suddenly turned and flung its thick tail at the gladiator, who dodged the blow as soon as he bent down, and slashed at the red dragon's hind legs with a sword.

The red dragon raised its hind legs to avoid the sword, and quickly and flexibly slashed its hind paws, and the gladiator hurriedly dodged, but still slowed down, and the dragon's claws slashed through his waist, leaving a wound several centimeters deep.

The gladiator steadied himself, the red dragon had turned and pounced on him, he immediately stepped back and let the dragon pounce from above, and then with a bounce he stood up, and when the dragon turned around, he pounced on the dragon's back, raising his sword and slashing it down.

The red dragon was furious, and before the gladiator's sword fell, he kicked all four legs with all his strength and did a violent backflip, and the gladiator stopped his attack and rolled away from the dragon's back in an instant.

With a "boom", the back of the red dragon came into close contact with the earth, and if it hadn't been for the gladiator's decisive detachment, it would have been crushed into a meatloaf.

Normally, this kind of dangerous action dragon would not do, because it is easy to hurt its own wings, so Ember did not have this scruple and decisively chose this most effective method to deal with the enemy on his back.

The red dragon turned over and got up, and the gladiator had already stabbed over with a sword, only to hear a snort, and because the angle was not very good, the dragon scales played their part to flick the long sword away and did not stab into it. The dragon raised its claws and slapped the gladiator's head, who raised his right shield to block. The gladiator was shocked by the sheer force and took a few steps back, and the worn-out shield dented in a large chunk.

After a few breaths, the red dragon and the gladiator fought again, and after a few rounds, the gladiator caught a gap, lowered himself into the dragon's belly and slashed upward.

Ember roared: "I'm wounded!" The huge soles of his feet stomped down, and the gladiator who had succeeded in one blow hurriedly rolled on the spot several times to avoid being trampled underfoot.

One drop, two drops, the bright red dragon blood dripped from the dragon's belly to the ground, but it stopped after only a few drops, the dragon's healing ability was not blown, such an injury was nothing at all.

The wounded red dragon seemed to be a little faster, and in the face of the huge figure that swooped down, the gladiator had to avoid its edge, and after dodging several times in a row, he left a wound on the red dragon's body again.

Ember took a deep breath, a wound or two was nothing to a dragon, but he was still too young in age and size, and he was still far from the adult dragons who were still alive and kicking all over his body. Don't let anger get lost to your mind.

The red dragon that calmed down made the gladiator under pressure, and after a few more rounds, he had to use his shield to take a few heavy blows, and finally the broken shield was overwhelmed, and the "Kala" shattered with a bang.

The cries around the arena shook the sky, and as if the two sides of the battle didn't hear it, the gladiator roared and raised his sword above his head with both hands and slashed at the red dragon's head with all his might. The latter did not dodge or dodge, his neck jerked forward, and in an instant he opened his mouth and bit the half-split long sword.

The gladiator was shocked, his sword was bitten by the hard dragon fangs, and he couldn't pull it back at all, and he had to let go of his last weapon and retreat.

The "Boom" long sword finished its journey, was bitten into several pieces by the red dragon, and fell to the ground weakly.

Ember showed the expression of a victor, and instead of attacking, he stood still looking at his unarmed opponent.

The gladiator screamed, and suddenly rushed up and smashed the red dragon in the chest.

The dragon didn't move, and the audience was silent for a few seconds, and then the red dragon slapped the gladiator away, and the latter spewed a cloud of blood mist in the air.

The gladiator struggled a few times but could not get back to his feet, twitched a few times on the ground and then did not move. The next moment, the audience was boiling, cheers, whistles were endless, and all kinds of items and miscellaneous items were flying all over the sky.

Ember's gaze swept around, then walked back to the same passage as before.

"Lord Red Dragon, the gladiatorial fight just now was really exciting, I..." The fat steward came out of nowhere, and returned to his usual pompous and flattering state.

Ember looked at him and raised a hand in a "bring it" gesture.

"Yes, yes, yes. The fat man hurriedly played a trick, took out the money bag he had just seen from behind him, and put it on the claws of the red dragon.

Putting the money bag on the ground and opening it, and counting it carefully, the red dragon nodded and asked, "Who was that gladiator just now?"

"I'm just a little steward, and I'm only responsible for arranging gladiatorial fights and stuff, and I don't know much about that. The fat man frowned and said, "I've only heard that he seems to be able to regain his freedom if he can win one more game..."

Hearing this, the red dragon nodded slightly, picked up the money bag and shook his body, and then swaggered out.

The gladiatorial arena is a place where Ember spends his free time honing himself, and if a dragon doesn't grow up after countless fights, his situation may be special among dragons, but it's no exception. Plus, you can earn shiny gold coins, so why not kill two birds with one stone?
