From the next day onwards, the fights continued as people watched with excitement. Gladiators died while the others shined, using the death of their opponents as steppingstones to glory. It was cruel, but in here, the gladiators didn’t have control of their fate. They were slaves to Neo-Rome. The gladiators had no choice but to fight to the best of their ability or die trying. It was survival of the fittest as the weak died and the strong moved on. As the tournament progressed, a lot of hidden masters started appearing as predicted, making the elimination round a lot more dangerous and unpredictable. After standing on the sides and watching others duke it out for about a week, the dice finally rolled to Kalen’s small circle of companions. It was the day that Alexis would fight her first opponent. Kalen and Ethan both wished her luck before she ventured into the cage. This was the best that they could do, the ball was in her court, only she could decid

At another important cage arena on the ship designated for the gladiators, a fierce fight was going on. This was a fight between Captain Vladimir, the commander of the Spartan Fleet, and another 3rd rank high-grade warrior. During the 3rd rank high-grade warriors training sessions, he was not too exceptional as he opted to act in a low-key manner, but no one dared to underestimate him. As the commander of a whole fleet, his strength and capability were unbelievable, everyone was clear on that. This was his first gladiator fight; his ring name was just Captain Vladimir. He was too arrogant or probably too lazy to brainstorm for a tyrannical nickname, his opponent’s ring name was Deathstroke. As soon as the fight began, he was too impatient to slowly fight in a drawn-out fight as he charged forward to meet his opponent decisively. Though his opponent was not the best, he was among the better ones in their training sessions.  His opponent us

After a week of treatment, Alexis was finally discharged. She came to meet her friends, looking energetic as usual. During this week that she stayed in the medical bay, Ethan fought his second fight. It was not as dramatic as hers though. He won after a drawn-out battle of attrition. Forget about his lack of self-confidence, he was still one of the best on the ship. His lack of confidence is because of the steep requirement of only 5 survivors. ******************************************* It has been 3 months since the tournament started, and today was Kalen’s 2nd battle fixture. His opponent this time is the Scythe. The fight was without any suspense as he completely crushed his opponent.  After some time, Alexis and Ethan also had their 3rd fight. They both fought against weaker opponents and won after putting in some effort. The main highlight of these recent fights was the Emperor’s 3rd fight, which he fought against Yue Fei. Y

Of the two hundred and four 2nd rank high grade warriors who participated in the elimination rounds, only 13 soldiers survived to this last round. After the first round, 102 soldiers survived to the next round. After the 2nd round, 51 soldiers survived. 50 of them had to fight, as one lucky gladiator was allowed to advance to the next round without fighting. After the 3rd round, only 26 soldiers survived. Then after the 4th round, these 13 soldiers were the golden goose survivors. These 13 soldiers are then going to fight for the last opportunity to survive. The fights began without much fanfare, as the cream of the crop of the initial 204 soldiers started fighting for the 5 survivor slots. After 2 weeks of constant exciting fights, today is the fight between the Jade Master and the Exterminator. Alexis got prepared to cross her last fight, as Kalen and Ethan encouraged her to be calm and try her best. The commentator was not waiting for them

The Demon Slayer couldn’t endure it anymore as he tore open his last trump card. He quickly started his ultimate, his self-created technique, the Wild Strikes of Death.  Normally, he used his self-created technique as his final finishing blow. This is because self-created techniques are very energy and concentration draining, even more so than divine battle arts. This immediately caused his offensive to rise a level, as his opponent started struggling to keep up. Ethan included this in his plans, as this was not the first time that he saw his opponent using this self-created technique. Despite his preparation, things don’t always go according to plan as the increased offensive was fiercer than he predicted. He repeatedly parried with his 2 swords, while letting out grunts and retreating from the force of the blows. Ptui!! Ptui!! He finally slipped up which his opponent promptly took advantage of, inflicting him with 2 deep cuts across the
