Episode 139
Before entering the gladiatorial arena, I accepted a piece of paper.
“what is this?”
“Ah, this is a memorandum that says we are not responsible if you die during the competition at the gladiatorial arena. “All gladiators sign, so don’t think about it, just sign.”
My life depends on a piece of paper like this
I can’t believe I’m here… … .
However, I have no intention of dying here.
If I have to, I have to use magic to survive.
Why should I die?
I signed without much hesitation.
Not Ruin Ardel, but ‘Ogre Lord.’
But is this really effective?
“Now you are done. “Just wait a moment and it will be the Ogre Lord’s turn.”
After waiting for a while, the doors to the amphitheater opened and bodies were brought in on stretchers.
These are the gladiators who died in the previous match.
The corpses were all gathered together and moved to the back of the Colosseum where it was marked ‘Incinerator’.
When asked if any family members were visiting the body, the caretaker just shook his head as if he was not interested.
This is because they are all abandoned slaves with no one to mourn their death.
It’s bitter.
I never imagined that I would be thrown into an incinerator on that stretcher.
I just hope that no one else has to die like that because of me.
That’s when I was thinking this.
“The final game of the first round of the finals begins! Open the beast cage!”
“Crumbling!”
“Kung! “Kung!”
I arrived at the amphitheater looking through the gaps in the iron bars, and saw threats like wolves and lions.
The numbers ran out.
“Chung! Chwiik! human! kill! “Chwiik!”
After that, four orcs came out of the open cage, pounding their chests.
Each orc was carrying a blunt axe and a long sword, and acquiring weapons by stealing the orcs’ weapons was also a way to increase the survival rate.
However, it is something I am not very willing to do.
This is because the blades of axes and long swords are too dull.
As for the reason, Mr. Narmer.
has explained it to me.
-Wouldn’t it be fun if people died all at once?
-… … yes?
-With a blunt long sword, you have to strike it repeatedly several times to cut through human flesh. Blood splattering, pain… … . Wouldn’t this be more fun to watch from the citizens watching?
Shit.
It’s no fun when people die all at once, so blunt weapons are used on purpose.
It is truly the ultimate barbarism.
That’s why I have no intention of using a weapon like that.
only one.
martial arts.
The goal is to knock them out in one go without any pain.
“next! Open the iron bars of death!”
East, West, South, North.
Perfect fit!
Each of the four rusty iron bars opened with a strange crying sound.
At the same time, four gladiators, including me, entered the amphitheater.
“Grrrrr..”
In the middle of the stadium, wild beasts that have found ‘food’ are drooling, and gladiators are standing in all directions around them.
at the same time.
“Until someone survives! Fight! Kill it! And win the victory laaaaa!”
“Waaaa!”
“human! Chwiiik! kill!”
The orcs scattered in all directions and rushed at the gladiators.
The gladiatorial contest has begun.
The moment that separates life and death lies in the difference in choice.
I suppress my strength as much as I can and just lightly raise my fist.
or not… … .
“This is an example!”
Or hit a full swing.
I mercilessly struck the head of the orc that was running towards me.
Paang-!
The surrounding area froze with the sound of a gourd exploding.
“Well, what is it? now?”
This was enough to silence everyone watching the game.
“Grrrr?”

“Kkeak, keakgaegaeng!”
It was enough to make the wild beasts that treated me as ‘food’ open their eyes and lower their tails.
The embarrassment was short-lived.
“Waaaaaa!”
“also! As I heard, you are an ogre lord! “Look at that cruelty!”
“Cracking an orc’s head like breaking a pumpkin! “Everyone saw it!”
Due to the overwhelming inaction, the entire Colosseum heated up.
Now that we’ve warmed up the mood slightly, let’s try a light performance next.
A ugh
— —। •
I lifted the ax the orc was holding.
“Oh, is the Ogre Lord trying to use a weapon?”
“no! “Look over there!”
Then, he gripped both edges of the ax tightly, as if trying to split it in two.
At the same time, the skill Steel Destruction is activated.
The ax blade turned into powder and disappeared as if fluttering in the air.
This was the perfect point to suppress the atmosphere.
“what! That’s it! “Is it magic?”
“no! It’s not magic! Mana didn’t respond! “I broke it with force!”
“Nonsense! You mean you broke the ax with your grip? “It’s completely turned into powder?”
The moment when this unbelievable story of defeating 200 pine boards with great ease becomes true.
I completely ‘destroyed’ the ax and threw the ax handle towards the wolves.
“Kkegaeng!”
The wolf that was hit squarely by the stick that flew like an arrow had its skull cracked and died instantly.
Probably, there was no need to feel any pain.
“and! saw? just now!”
“Ogre! Ogre! Ogre!”
Everyone cheered and chanted my name.
However, there were also people who could not enjoy this atmosphere.
That is, the gladiators who entered the same amphitheater as me.
This was a kind of warning to them.
A warning that if you provoke me, everything might end up like this.
However, these people have a greater desire for success than their fear of death.
With a distorted face, he gritted his teeth and glared at me.
I”
He proved his inaction by twisting and breaking the necks of the orcs in front of him.
Then, the orcs picked up the weapons they were holding and rushed at me without hesitation.
Although this fight was strictly an individual battle, they both targeted me at the same time, as if there was a tacit agreement.
‘4 stars, 4 stars, 5 stars… …
The chakra emanating from their bodies dazzles their eyes.
How to defeat those who have strengthened their bodies with chakra.
Stronger ‘power.’
I stretched out my palms honestly, like the spring sun warming the sand.
Paang-!
“Kuk, kuk!”
The gladiator who was hit in the solar plexus took a step back and blood poured out.
I raised my elbow and struck the second gladiator’s head like a torrential downpour in the summer desert.
“Black!”
Perhaps the goal was shaken.
Or there was a hole.
There is no time to lose sight of it.
Push-!
Because the sword entered my neck without my knowledge.
But there is nothing to worry about.
Because I’m faster than them.
It moved very smoothly, like a grain of sand swaying in the autumn wind, and avoided the attack.
u । n
Just as the winter desert still boasts fierce heat.
My fist hurts when I get hit.
phut-!
blow.
The gladiator, who was blown to the other side of the amphitheater with a single blow, hit his head and lost consciousness.
The citizens were one beat late in cheering.
“and… …
Just when the people who had been silent for a moment were about to cheer, I started walking again.
light.
After learning a much higher level of martial arts, my body is as light as a feather.
But my attack is too heavy.
“Kkeak, keakgaegaeng!”
As I walked, the wild beasts made puppy noises, curled their tails, and backed away.
But I kept coming, the beast
They were driven to the corner of the amphitheater.
Just a little while ago, they saw me as food.
Those who ate the flesh of Esperanaza gladiators.
I smiled at those beasts.
“Gulp Gulp. Come on. “Aren’t you nice?”
Shaking my head.
The beasts all shook their heads.
♦ ♦ ♦
A place where you can overlook the Colosseum at a glance.
The citizens of Esperanaza called this place ‘the castle of the great emperor.’
It is also the place where Oyota’s only powerful person, the ‘Great Emperor’, personally watches the gladiatorial competitions.
At the same time, it is also a place where the winner of a gladiator competition is praised by the emperor, hence the name.
this place.
From the Great Emperor’s castle, some men could be heard arguing.
“Great Emperor. “I said I’m not interested, so that’s fine.”
“Uh huh, Seta. “It is Hwangmyeong (皇命).”
“… … Are you Hwang Myeong? He made a grandiose announcement about some kind of gladiatorial competition… …
“Because he is a wizard who will lead Oyota in the future, he must not take Oyota’s traditions lightly. “If you understand, then shut up and watch quietly.”
“Tch
The man who is ‘begging’ me to watch the gladiatorial competition is none other than him.
Emperor of Oyota, Tenjin.
And, next to it… … .
“Your Majesty knows. “Why do I hate gladiator competitions?”
“know. “You said your father died in that competition.”
“yes. “Do you know that?”
A man saying he won’t watch a gladiatorial contest.
A man giving a blow to a great emperor.
He is the only genius wizard who will lead the magic world of Oyota.
It was Seta Malkiri.
“Please. “Let’s just shut up and watch it together.”
“Is this also an imperial decree?”
“okay. “It’s Hwangmyeong.”
“Kkeuhn••••••
The relationship between the two did not appear at all like that between an ordinary king and his subjects.
As for the reason, Emperor Tenzin’s easy-going personality probably plays a role.
only… … .
There may be a reason why Seta Malkyri is the only genius wizard who has appeared in Oyota, which is virtually a wasteland of magic.
“It’s an annual competition, so why is this year so polarizing?”
Tenzin, the Great Emperor of Oyota, said while stroking his beard.
“Recently, I heard an interesting rumor among citizens. “A stranger boasting tremendous power has appeared.”
“Are you a stranger? Why a stranger all of a sudden?”
“That stranger participated in this year’s gladiatorial contest.
I did it. The name is Ogre Lord.”
“Puhup.”
Seta Malkyri burst out laughing at the ridiculous name Ogre Lord.
“An ogre lord. Who came up with that name? “It was made very hastily.”
“But it looks like those skills aren’t half-hearted.”
“is it so? When I look at it, it doesn’t look like anything special, right? “I know a friend who is really like an ‘ogre’?”
“friend? The Kingdom of Rhedian that I mentioned before.
“You mean that next-generation wizard?”
“yes. That guy is truly worthy of the name Ogre Lord. The power is so strong that no one will be able to stop it. I don’t know if some fake guy is scamming him by claiming to be the ‘Ogre Lord’, but it’s definitely nothing special… …
“huh? “Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“… … “I thought it was that guy, but it was that guy.”
” what?”
Traveling across the length and breadth of wild beasts.
Knocking out all the wolf’s molars with your knee.
A man who grabs a lion by its hair and throws it into the sky.
Ruin Ardel.
Seta Malkiri muttered in bewilderment.
“Ruin… … . “Why are you there?”
