Episode 88. Lamberstar Cage (7)
“No rules match?”
This is my first time hearing this story.
To be exact, I think I’m the only one hearing this for the first time.
Unlike me, who was somewhat confused, Gunther was wearing the cast iron knuckles he had prepared, as if he had been waiting.
“Your expression is strange. “Didn’t you hear that our match will be a no-rules match?”
“Didn’t you hear?”
“Hmm, it didn’t spread to you? If you need any weapons, go get them now! “I’ll let you take care of that in person.”
There is no need to do that.
I didn’t take it out because I didn’t have anything to write about, but
Now in my arms, I have a weapon that is unique in the world.
I took Kairam out of my arms and took a stance.
[Why does it seem like they are bringing it up reluctantly?]
“I heard you’re quick to notice.”
Honestly, regardless of whether there were rules or not, I didn’t really want to use Kayram to deal with that guy.
I don’t think cutting would feel very good.
“You know what, Shion? “I will kill you in this match!”
I couldn’t even laugh at something that didn’t even seem like a joke.
However, looking at the guy’s face, it didn’t seem like he meant it as a joke.
“I understand it’s not a death match that ends only when you die?”
“Of course not! But I’m serious. Are you the one who brought my dry spirit to boil for the first time in a long time? “This is not a thirst that can be quenched by simply bumping fists!”
The guy’s body was twitching as if something was about to happen.
“I grew up here in the cage and dealt with a lot of people. There are more than one person whose jaw was turned or their limbs were crippled after being hit by my fist. “You can be like that too!”
What should I do?
“Do you know why I left the cage?”
“By killing someone?”
“that’s right! As time went by, I couldn’t contain my fighting spirit, which grew stronger, and I ended up killing my opponent during the game. But that’s not necessarily the reason… … .”
He held out his knuckles, as if to show me.
When I looked closely, it was a reddish brown color.
“I am. I believe that waste that is no longer needed should be eliminated from this world. That’s why I manage my waste management! Garbage that is no longer useful must be disposed of and disposed of! “Isn’t that the same for humans?”
I don’t know why, but for some reason, I frowned.
No, you might actually know.
“The gossip has gotten longer! Anyway, I will do my best to kill you, so you too should do your best to deal with me! Do you understand, Zion?”
Anyone watching would think they were watching a battle between incredibly hot men.
But it’s the best… … .
If we were to discuss the dictionary definition, it would be to use all one’s sincerity and strength.
Now that guy is kind of forcing me to do my best, right?
Let’s take a look.
Am I in a position to show my best to that guy right now?
no.
To be clear, no.
What I can show in this situation is not my best with all my heart,
It is a mercy that should make him realize his pathetic position.
At this point, I think I should also say something.
“Choose.”
“hmm?”
“left? Or the right?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m asking which arm would be best left.”
His shoulders twitched violently.
“I don’t understand. I told you to show your best, I never told you to show off your courage. “Are you ignoring me now?”
“If you don’t want to choose, I’ll just do it myself.”
The mood of this somewhat indifferent guy changed in an instant.
“you… … “Do you really want to die?”
Didn’t you say you were going to kill me yet?
I don’t know what was askew, but life began to appear in his eyes in earnest.
“I tried my best to endure it, but it’s hard anymore. As I continue to look at you as if you look down on that person, my anger boils over. “I’m warning you, get that eye out right now!”
Of course, I’m not the one to clean it up just because I’m told to do so.
I maintained the same gaze without any reaction.
“Let me correct this. I will kill you as painfully as possible. “I will help you to have no regrets in life so that instead of asking for life, you will ask for death!”
This time I laughed.
It was similar to something I liked to say in the past.
As I sit there listening to this guy say those words, I can’t help but laugh.
-Boooooo
At that moment, the whistle sounded, signaling the start of the game.
-fault
As soon as it started, the guy immediately jumped out of his seat and ran towards me.
At the same time, brown mana appeared in both of his hands.

“Petrification!”
-Blah blah blah
With the sound of something cracking, his hands gradually began to harden like stone.
It was as if I was wearing strong gauntlets, giving off a feeling of intimidation that could not be ignored.
Petrification: A spell that strengthens body parts by casting an earth attribute petrification spell on oneself.
Depending on the magical power, it can be said to be a magic optimized for defense that cannot be easily cut with any sword or weapon.
Of course, you can switch to attack like you do now.
-Hwiik
5 steps away.
The guy put out his fist wide, probably thinking he was within range.
The direction of movement was pointed exactly towards my face.
There was nothing much I could do about this.
I just wait until he throws his fist.
4 steps, 3 steps, 2 steps.
Between 0 second and 1 second.
The moment when his fist finally made contact with my face.
-Sigh
After taking a step and dodging,
-wedge
He raised the Keiram he was holding in his hand vertically and slashed it.
-Suddenly
As my vision naturally rose, I saw something gray rising into the air.
The moment when red liquid spread out from one side and fell carelessly without anyone to catch it.
“Aaaahhh!”
A loud scream echoed dizzyingly throughout the hall.
* * *
The arena became solemn as if cold water had been poured on it.
The audience was beyond shocked by the sight before their eyes and was filled with questions.
While Gunther, who had one of his arms cut off, screamed in pain,
The boy was looking at that with a very peaceful expression.
Is that really what a person should look like?
Beyond the doubts, an unfamiliar fear is rising,
The boy’s face turned to the audience looking at him.
“… … !”
Unexplainable abnormal phenomena began to occur among the audience, such as choking and shaking hands and feet.
It’s the same feeling as encountering an ugly devil, even though I’ve never experienced it directly.
Some even left the cage as if running away.
“W-what?!”
However, among them, there was one person in particular who could not take his eyes off the boy.
Maurice Gehrig, a man with a thick mustache, sitting in the VIP section, the top class seat in the arena.
He was one of the city’s managers, serving as the head of the Gray Merchants’ Association, north of Lamberta.
In the brilliant golden binoculars, what was in sight was not the boy’s face, but the purple dagger he was holding.
“I can’t believe it! But that must be… … !”
Maurice could tell.
That the weapon the boy was holding was no ordinary dagger.
I was absolutely confident because I had an insight developed through decades of commercial activities.
A chilling energy leaking from the sharp blade.
Unidentifiable smoke surrounded the dripping blood.
Even a black jewel that gives off a feeling of madness, as if the devil’s eye had been taken out.
When we put all of this together, there was only one conclusion that could be drawn.
The black pencil that boy has… … .
“It’s a magic sword!”
* * *
I watched him writhing in pain for quite some time.
I had no intention of striking back.
I just wanted it to end like this.
Soon the host, who had been watching for a while, appeared and asked me if I wanted to finish the game, and I answered yes.
As a result, the sparring ended in vain.
Although it was a result I expected very much.
“Well, thank you for your hard work, Shion!”
When I entered the waiting room, the kid who had been selling cigarettes until yesterday handed me a drink.
“Have you started work?”
“yes! Manager Lisa let me work as an arena facility assistant for now!”
Facility assistance.
It doesn’t seem like a bad job.
Actually, whatever you do, it’s going to be a lot better than selling cigarettes outside.
But a manager?
Well, it is said that she was a direct subordinate of the owner, but why on earth did a woman with such courage work as an employee in the lobby… … .
“So, sonniiiiim!!”
This appears before I even call the tiger.
Seeing that he was running so quickly that he was out of breath, it seemed like he had something important to say.
“Cha, it’s a mistake! error! I guess there was a mistake in reporting! There’s no way there’s something I don’t know about… … .”
“I hope you can explain it so I can understand?”
“This means that this match will be a no-rules match! “Did you know?”
I shook my head.
“As expected, right? sorry! This is a complete mistake on our part! “I’m really, really sorry for not notifying you of such an important matter in advance!”
She was repeatedly bowing down and apologizing.
I snorted and said.
“I don’t understand.”
“Even if I have ten mouths, I have nothing to say! It’s natural to think that way… … .”
“No, you. I didn’t know. I can’t help it, but I don’t think there was any need to come running to me right away. “Shouldn’t we go to that guy who cut off his arm?”
I was injured in the first place, but I was fine.
Rather, I thought that if you wanted to take care of the problem, it would be right to run to the owner of the waste dump.
“What do you mean?!”
Judging from her reaction, it appears that wasn’t the case at all.
“Shion is our absolute guest! I am a manager who puts the convenience of my guests first! “The customer suffered a disadvantage due to something unexpected, and it is only natural for me, as the manager, to take responsibility and rush to apologize!”
hmm.
I forgot what to say for a moment.
I can’t believe there was someone with such a strong work ethic in this place where rules and morals have been abandoned.
It was a moment when satisfaction with the service within the facility suddenly increased significantly.
“Sorry for interrupting the conversation… .”
Suddenly, a middle-aged man’s voice was heard from one side.
“Can you excuse me for a moment?”
Just by looking at him, he looked like a businessman who was likely to do some fraud.
Unlike me, who was meeting me for the first time, the manager here reacted quite shocked.
“Mo, Maurice?”
“… … !”
At the same time, the little boy who had been quiet also hid behind my legs.
“I’m sorry for coming to you without prior contact. “No matter what happened, I wanted to see the person in front of me.”
It seems like there are a lot of people here who are anxious because they can’t find me.
I answered with a blunt face.
“You mean me?”
“yes! My name is Maurice Gehrig. “He serves as president of a small business called the Gray Merchants’ Association.”
The moment I heard the word Gray Merchants Association, my eyes naturally turned to the little boy.
From the tremors in his hands, I could tell that he felt fear from the man in front of him.
“As expected, you are much cuter than what I saw from the audience. “You look like the son of a nobleman.”
Still, it appears that the label of a merchant was not used in vain.
I maintained a calm gaze without showing much emotion.
“Could you please leave my seat for a moment? Lisa’s manager?”
“yes? Ha, but… … !”
“It’s because I want to propose a deal to Shion. “I came alone without any guards, so you can rest assured.”
In fact, there was no sign of anyone else being popular around here except for him.
After hesitating for a moment, she bit her lip and said as if she had no choice.
“I’ll give you 10 minutes… … .”
“thank you.”
With a disapproving expression, she left the waiting room with the little boy.
Two men left alone in an empty room.
It wasn’t a very pleasant situation for me.
On the other hand, a man named Maurice smiled at me with a mysterious look in his eyes and said,
He said he definitely wanted to offer me a deal.
When a merchant proposes a transaction, it means to buy or sell something to the other party.
However, as of now, I don’t have anything worth buying, nor do I have anything worth selling.
“I will tell you this straight away, without any hesitation.”
However, his eyes were filled with an inexplicable confidence.
“What do you mean?”
“The magic sword you have… … “Sell it to me.”
“… … !”
[under?]
Kayram’s bewildered sigh was echoing in my head.
