牛奶色隔壁有夫之妇

The two-handed sword was heavy, and the vampire was not kidding when he doubted Arthur could wield it.

A fierce slash aimed at the back leg of the lion. It was cut like a fish, and the lion fell, unable to keep balance, having only three legs.

Arthur rejoiced for his successful attack, but the lion was not idle, and the snake tail moved fast towards Arthur, who was taken by surprise.

It bit his right shoulder. An unknown toxin spread through his blood system, and the pain of that bite was terrible.

“Get off me,” Arthur said as he grabbed the snake with his hands, squeezing it.

The snake died, unable to withstand the force of Arthur’s grip. Then, the next one was the lion itself.

A roaring echoed through the crowded arena. A roar of pain came from the lion after it lost one leg and its tail.

With only three legs now, the lion’s situation was not good, as his movements were hindered, and he could not move freely throughout the arena, turning it into easy prey for Arthur.

Some people in the bleachers already knew the lion would lose.

“With only three legs, it is impossible. That elf is not that bad. Maybe he will survive today?”

“Don’t forget that he has to fight at least ten times today. It will be hard for him to stay alive.”

“Ten times? Why is that?”

“Well, he is an elf caught while sneaking inside this place.”

“Ha, it makes sense.”

Arthur heard these conversations. He was more focused on the creatures that were watching than the ones he was fighting against.

“Quite a lot of creatures here, coupled with the ones in the protecting gates, hum. I think we can handle it without too many casualties.”

The mission was now somewhat completed. They now had information about how many creatures were inside that place, which was what they wished to discover.

Now, what Arthur had to do was find a way out of that place. He could leave the city without problems, but he was not sure about his elf friends.

Arthur easily dodged all the attacks the lion tried to aim at him, and now that he was done with the scouting, he jumped high in the air and descended with his two-handed sword, cutting off the head of that lion.

Blood flowed like a river, and the lion moved even after losing its head. The body had yet to realize what had happened.

Arthur thought the crowd would boo him, but they did not. Screams echoed in that arena, and the creatures were genuinely excited to see the fight, even with the elf being the winner.

All they wanted to see was blood, which did not matter who or what it came from.

After he returned to the waiting room where all the other fighters were, it was time for his elf friends to go into a fight.

There was a delay between one fight and the other, so Arthur used that time to explain everything to his squad, saying that the mission was completed, and all they had to do was survive one fight and try to look for a way out.

“I can teleport and fly out of here easily, but the only problem is how you’ll escape. What do you guys think?”

“We are confident in escaping using the sewer again. Perhaps we can escape if you go insane in your next fight and get all the attention towards yourself.” Siora said.

Arthur entered a deep thought, and it was their only option to escape.

He had to get the attention of everyone in that arena, as most of the enemies were there. It would be even better if he caused an intense commotion so the creatures in the gates would assemble there, but that would be asking too much.

The first one to go to a fight was Siora. She was a little scared, as she did not know what type of creature she would have to face, but according to Arthur, the first fight would not be that hard, but certainly, after winning, the difficulty would increase.

Arthur waited inside that room with the rest of the fighters, and after roughly 20 minutes, Siora returned.

Siora had a few wounds on her body, but nothing serious. She was all right and won her fight.

Then Folen and Laeroth went to fight as well in that sequence. They also won their fights, and Laeroth even came out unscathed.

“Good job, you all!”

After that, a few random fighters also went to the arena until it was finally Arthur’s turn.

He stepped inside the arena again, and when he saw his enemy, he was shocked.

It was a woman with half of her body like a snake, and he could not see the level above her head.

“What? Someone that strong? She’s not someone normal fighters would face, and I assume she is one of the high-ups controlling the dark races here.”

Arthur’s assumption was correct, and he was sure of it as he heard the crowd talking.

“Lady Serana is fighting? What is this?”

“I never saw her step inside the arena before. What did that elf do to get her attention?”

“He may have won the last fight, but in this one, he is dead.”

These were the things Arthur heard coming from the crowd. Coupled with the unknown level of that woman, he had to be careful.

“Who are you? You don’t seem to be an adversary for gladiators.” Arthur said.

“Oh, why you say that?” The woman said with a smirk.

Measuring his words, Arthur said, “you are not trash like everyone else here, that is why. I assume you are the person in charge of the dark races here. Am I correct?”

“Yes, you are. I’m Serana, a general of the army. Be happy that your last enemy is me!”

A bold statement from that woman and Arthur would surely make her regret that.
