Episode 140
The children imagined a cruel atmosphere in which blood splattered everywhere and corpses piled up like mountains.
“wow! “It’s fireworks!”
“dad! mom! Look over there! “It’s a firework!”
“beautiful.”
Watching wild beasts soaring into the sky, showing off their flaming manes, and watching an unseasonably beautiful fireworks display.
I remembered.
“Kkegaeng! Wow! Wow!”
When chasing wild beasts that are trying to run away until the end, grabbing their tails and slamming them to the ground.
“eww… … ! “It must hurt.”
Their whole bodies trembled with a brief exclamation, as if they were empathizing with the fear felt by wild beasts and imagining their heads being broken.
“… … Oh, not yet… … It’s not over… …
When the gladiators who had fallen on the floor did not give up and got up again using their swords as canes.
puck!
“I’m hitting you again!”
“You’re hitting me again where I hit you!”
He also cast a look of pity at the gladiators who fainted after being hit again.
Hit me to the point of death.
Beats you until you die.
Some citizens even said this to me.
“It’s too cruel to hit him again without killing him! “Don’t torture me with hope, just kill me!”
“that’s right! “Defend the gladiator’s honor by dying!”
Stop harassing me.
Stop killing gladiators now.
But I asked those citizens back.
“Why should I kill them?”
okay.
I won’t kill them.
Instead, I will beat you until you die, and when you wake up, I will beat you again.
Even this will give them freedom of choice.
A chance to continue living instead of dying.
However, the citizens of Esperanaza accepted this meaning in a completely distorted way.
“So, the rumor was true… … . Oh
That guy, Lord. It’s so cruel… …
“… … I’m enjoying it… … . Violence! To him, this is just a game! “I’m feeling pleasure from hitting you!”
“As I heard… … “This guy is truly crazy.”
Well, I didn’t mean that.
Well, whatever.
I held on to my shaky legs
He spoke to the gladiator who was trying to stand up again.
“Just lie down. “Don’t get up.”
“… … Ugh. “Are you pitying me now?”
“no. How can I sympathize with you? “We are in the same situation.”
“Shut up and just kill me! It tarnishes my honor… …
I easily dodged the gladiator’s blind sword and grabbed his wrist.
“It is honorable to die here like this.”
“Is it work?”
“Kaaaaak!”
Damn!
The gladiator lost his sword, and I lifted him up and beat him to the floor.
Then he pressed his uvula and said,
“If you die here, your body will become food for wolves. Otherwise, it will be burned in a dirty incinerator and dumped in a place no one knows about. Is that what you call honor?”
“Kuk, kuk…” … ! Shut up! Oyota people are not afraid of death. die and me
Then, my corpse becomes sand and protects the desert… …
“no. You should be afraid. More than anything, you should be afraid. After I die, it will be the honor you speak of, the great warrior, and the desert I will protect. There is nothing. “Isn’t that right?”
I said, lifting the gladiator up using only my grip strength.
“live. Even if it’s painful enough to kill you, live first and then think about it. “Please don’t carelessly throw your life away for something like this right now.”
This damn thing… … .
What am I saying like this?
However, I have no regrets.
After this fight, the slaves’ hardships
I don’t know if life will repeat itself again
At least.
Maybe there will come a day in the future when I feel small happiness and feel grateful for who I am today.
It will definitely come.
If we continue to live, they want
may gain fame.
There is only one thing that is certain right now.

“Dying here is not the death of an honorable gladiator… … . “You just die as a clown.”
At my words, the gladiator looked straight at the citizens screaming at him with trembling eyes.
“Kill! “Kill it!”
“Eat his heart out!”
“Kill him right now!”
Now everyone hopes and wishes that they will die.
How does he feel?
Are you still calmly waiting for your own death?
Do they really think it would be honorable to die a cruel death in front of them?
No, not at all.
For the first time, the ‘fear’ of death was engraved in his eyes.
I didn’t miss this.
“It will sting a little.”
I lightly planted my fist into the gladiator’s abdomen.
The gladiator fainted, but his face looked a little relaxed.
“friend? “That ogre lord is Seta, your friend?”
“Ruin Ardel… … . yes. You’re definitely right. He said he would stop by Esperanaja to meet me someday… … . I don’t know why Lu Yin is in a place like this.
well…”
Tenzin, the great emperor of Oyota, said as he looked down on the entire Colosseum from the top of the ‘Emperor’s Castle Silver’.
“You have a weak friend.”
“… “yes?”
“Your skills may be quite outstanding, but your mentality is extremely weak. “I feel sorry for the slaves, so I can’t even kill them.”
At the words of the great emperor, Seta Malkiri shook his head as if he did not understand.
“yes’? Ha, but… the citizens
“I’m doing it well.”
okay.
The citizens of Esperanaza were cheering for the Ogre Lord.
Although, they did not have the death of the slave gladiator they wanted.
“Because all the gladiators are incapable of fighting! The winner has been decided! The winner is-! Ogre Lord!”
“Waaah!”
“Ogre! Ogre! Ogre! Ogre!”
Blast someone to the end of the stadium with his bare fists.
The unprecedented and overwhelming combat ability, capable of crushing the heads of orcs and wild beasts with a single blow, drew cheers.
However, Great Emperor Tenzin opened his mouth with a not very satisfied expression.
“Citizens were just misled. “You were blinded by your weak friend’s magical fighting abilities.”
“Seta. listen carefully. Gladiator competitions deal with the pride of gladiators. your friend’s
Hasty sympathy actually tarnishes the honor of the gladiators. The defeated gladiator must die. By dying, he passes on that honor to the entire Oyota. “Do you understand?”
Great Emperor Tenzin clicked his tongue and turned his back.
“I was expecting an interesting stranger to participate in a gladiatorial contest, but it was flashy on the outside but empty on the inside.”
“wait a minute.”
at that time.
Seta Malkiri, who had been listening to the great emperor in silence, turned his head and spoke.
all.
“By dying you bring honor to Oyota? “Then, does your Majesty know the names of the slave gladiators who died today?”
Ugh..2”
“What is my father’s name? “Do you know the honorable name of my father, who became the supper of wolves in this gladiatorial contest for the honor of Oyota?”
“Seta Malkyri!”
The one who called Seta’s name was a bodyguard guarding the Emperor’s side.
“No matter how pretty the great emperor calls you,
Even if you are here! “What kind of rude words and actions are these!”
However, Emperor Tenjin instead raised his hand and dissuaded the guard.
Then, Seta Malkiri spoke.
“rather… … . “The gladiator competition itself, where you watch people’s deaths, make fun of them, and bet money on them, is bad!”
“Seta Malkyri! You went here and there to learn magic, and now you’ve become a citizen of the Demon Tao Empire! Forgot who you learned magic from?
What a thing! Oyota people deny gladiatorial contests! What… … !”
“stop!”
Emperor Tenzin issued a warning to stop.
This sound.
Paang-!
It spread throughout the Colosseum.
The Emperor of Oyota is a position where ‘skill’ is prioritized over lineage.
In other words, it is the same thing as saying that he is Oyota’s strongest warrior.
But Seta Malkyri, such a great
He looked straight into the eyes and said.
“You said my friend was weak, right? no. Ruin is not weak. Rather, it gave the slaves a chance. A chance to live like a human being. Just as the Great Emperor gave me, the child of a slave, the opportunity to become a wizard!”
Emperor Tenzin.
He had an easy-going nature that was not befitting his position as a great emperor.
However, apart from his finite humanity, Oyota is highly regarded as being stubborn and proud of his country.
Although he was not a slave, he also proved his skills through gladiator competitions and rose to the position of great emperor.
That’s why I couldn’t agree with Seta’s words.
However, they did not treat him harshly either.
“In the next game, if your friend succeeds in winning the hearts of the citizens of Esperanaza… … . Seta, let me seriously consider your opinion.”
“yes’?”
“Maybe, starting from next year’s gladiator competition, people won’t die.
“It may be unclear whether citizens will accept it.”
“… … “So, what if Ruin fails?”
“For the great desert people, friendship often feels like an expensive luxury.”
“Promise me. From now on, I will never have a weak person like that as a friend. And, I will never again share your personal opinions about Oyota’s long tradition.”
Seta Malkiri is the first great emperor
I thought Jin was a scary person.
The great emperor is that kind of position.
This is a place where Oyota’s long tradition should never be taken lightly.
This is a position that requires stubbornness that will not easily give in to one’s will, even if all the surrounding countries point their fingers at it for being ‘barbaric’.
However, from the perspective of Seta Malki Lee, an ordinary citizen.
When I remembered my father’s face dying like a dog, I couldn’t help but smile at the gladiatorial competition.
A tradition that Oyota loves? no. He was the one who loved Yota more than anyone else.
But, this is just ‘barbarism’.
However, if only this incident could change the Emperor’s perception… … .
Seta Malkyri bowed her head and said.
“I will accept it.”
A gladiatorial contest where no one dies.
This may be an ‘opportunity’ to erase ‘barbarism’ and move forward as a new Toyota.
♦ ♦ ♦
The highlight of the final match.
That means the four sword fighters who survived the finals will engage in a no-rules fighting match.
The day was already getting dark, and a huge torch was lit in the Colosseum.
Even this darkness could not send the citizens who were enthusiastic about gladiatorial competitions home.
Because here, a winner emerges.
“In the daytime game, Ruin directly led the atmosphere… … . This time may be different.
This is because the gladiators who have come this far are experts who should not be taken lightly. especially… …
Mr. Narmer’s eyes turned to Tarman Hashimk, who was standing at the east gate.
“Tarman Hashimk is a warrior whom all the citizens of Esperanaja are passionate about. He will use all kinds of cruel methods to draw the public’s attention to himself. These ‘citizens’ are the judges of gladiatorial contests. Please keep this in mind. “You have to control the mood of the citizens, but you can be recognized as the winner without killing anyone.”
That is correct.
It’s different from competitions like Daejejeon.
There is no separate judge, and citizens watching the competition take on the role of judge.
Just now.
When I won the game without killing any slaves, I certainly got a lot of cheers.
It was booed by a few people.
They ridiculed him for being a coward who couldn’t kill people.
In order to reliably dismiss these opinions, louder cheers from citizens are needed.
had to be obtained.
The method is simple.
“Then, all we have to do is destroy Tarman Hashimk.”
《Tarman Hashimk》
《6-star martial artist》
《Extreme martial arts skills, strong grip strength.》
Now, how do we break it down?
Should I break my arm so I can never use it again?
Or should I break the bridge?
There is another, more effective method.
“I’m going to make that guy beg for his life.”
In other words, it is a matter of receiving ‘surrender’ from the mouth of a great desert warrior.
