Chapter 119 The Terribly Unfair Fight...
The stakes for the bet had been set.
These were very high stakes.
Five hundred half born females and five hundred normal human females.
This amount could leave Many if them broke for several years to come. After all, human beings were not as populous a people as they once were.
In a distance not so far away, a lady in a white gown with golden flowery patterns decorated on it watched the happenings.
She played with her middle fingers that had finger nails as long as six inches.
Around her stood demons that acted as her guards.
This was the daughter of the governor of this city.
Demons were not a people that bothered about nakedness. Some of her guards were clothed and some were not.
However, one of them stood out well like a sore thumb.
This particular demon wore a full suit, with a tie. Aside his long pointed ears and sharp teeth that sneaked out of the side of his mouth, he looked like an overly hairy man.
This was her butler. His was usually referred to as Basket face.
"Lady Vinegar, should I stop them?" Basket face asked.
She did not answer, but lifted her middle finger to indicate that she was interested.
Meanwhile, Lenny was facing D455 in the Fighting ring.
Basit saw that Cuban readily agreed to this fight.
He had been an Arena master for a long time, and within this time, he had several interactions with Cuban.
He knew him well. Basit knew that Cuban was not fond of this bets. He only participated in them as a result of peer pressure.
However, if he was doing this one, it meant that he had a certain level of confidence about this particular fight.
Demons were violent, but that did not mean that they were rash or uncalculative.
"Before we begin, I suggest your participate takes a class test."
Cuban frowned.
A class test was a way to measure the stats of a particular gladiator in relation to class.
This test was done so as to discourage cheating by bringing a gladiator of a higher class to fight in a lower class.
This was not something that was uncommon.
Cuban looked to the Magistri for confirmation.
The Magistri nodded.
Cuban turned to Basit, "of course, why not?"
"Lady Hanger, if you will, can you please help us with the test?" Basit asked.
Lady Hanger nodded, "of course," she waved her hand and her caretaker walked forward with a white crystal ball in hand.
The crystal ball was placed in the middle of the ring.
This was the first time Lenny was seeing this crystal ball.
But if this thing was anything like E4004's ability that could check the ability of a person, then he was in the safe.
However, Lenny was not sure about this.
After all, he was already in the lesser demon ranks.
Just to be sure, he gave a fair warning to the Satan system before he placed a hand on it.
<Strength detection system found. Negate or Amend>
Immediately, Lenny choose Amend.
Just as Lenny had instructed, the the crystal ball shone in a dark eerie light and then a letter appeared on it.
It was the Alphabetical letter D.
This meant that Lennyw as truly from the D class.
Seeing this made Basit frown.
Something was not right. If Lenny was truly if the D class, then why was Cuban so willing to make the bet.
However, that was not for now his business.
There was just too much at stake.
He had to give it his best.
"D999, I heard you said you'll face any Gladiator from any class," Basit clicked his fingers and a gladiator stepped forward into the ring.
It was an A class Gladiator.
Cuban frowned at this, but looking at the Magistri's calm look, he decided to allow it.
But just to be sure, he waved his hand and the Magistri came close, "are you sure?"
"Yes Lord Cuban, he is a Reminder!"
Hearing this made Cuban's eyes brightened. He suddenly understood where the Magistri's confidence came from.
Reminders were very rare. Only about one in a thousand.
These were half Borns that were born with genetic knowledge from their human and demon side.
Such people usually fought differently. Some of them inherited the ability to unlock more than one or two abilities and had the profound techniques if their ancestors.
This was the kind of person the Magistri thought Lenny was from the beginning.
He did not know that the reason why Lenny had such profound techniques was because he came from another world.
This fight was not in anyway fair.
But this was how the demon world worked.
Being fair was a privilege.
Since Lenny opened his mouth to say he would fight who so ever, then he was going to do it.
Gladiators like A222 and E666 that were aware of Lenny's capabilities already visioned a particular end.
After all, Lenny had created a blood bath back at the meeting hall for the order of Gladiators.
As far as they were concerned, this was going to be a breeze.
This fight was two against one.
D455 and A890 against D999.
Many of the Arena masters that watched this shook their heads.
It was as if they could already see the end of the fight from the beginning.
Some of them whispered amongst themselves of how nice it was going to be to laugh at Cuban.
Cuban because of his bloodline did not have that good a reputation with them in the first place.
This was going to be a good opportunity to rub salt on his wound.
The Magistri also the Refree for this match.
However, before the match started, A890 suddenly removed a devil's pill and swallowed it.
Just like D455, he also went through changes.
Out of habit, Lenny used Surveyor on him.
What he saw for the first time, made his cocky smile turn to a frown.
While Lenny had been talking all this time, he had forgotten that he was still under punishment for bowing to a demon.
His power had been halved.
This meant that his capability in a fight had dropped down significantly.
Meanwhile, A890 had just taken a drug that ehanced his own ability by doubling it.
Simply put, in this fight, A890 was now stronger than him....
