Chapter 4

The audience would mostly like magic, it's flashy, it's cool. A super awesome way to kill someone! A fireball to sizzle the flesh, a huge lighting bolt from the sky. Malting the armor around someone while they are alive? Yes please! Maybe controlling people with electrical signals?

Sh*t! I quickly sit down and focus internally. Zoning in on my head only to see the tornado of magic in my head back to its original size. That explains the thoughts! What can I do to solve this? Always expelling magic? I feel a tap on my shoulder.

"Hey, it's time for your next fight."

"Already?"

"Not my choice, it has been 2 days."

"Huh?"

2 days? I look around my cell as the guard starts to put cuffs around my hands. I notice four plates of food by the bars. Really? So I get to kill again? I will use magic and woo the crowd with something other than my looks. What was I doing before? Does it matter? Nope!

Let's have some fun! I should try and find what I like though. Will it be killing? Or maybe fights? Exciting!

The guard leads me past many cells again and eventually leads me to the center of an arena. He hands me a sword and I look around it looks to be the same arena I fought in yesterday. He uncuffs me and has me stand in the center of the ring. A few other guards lead out 10 people in chains. They unshackle them and have them stand in a line facing me.

"These will be your teammates for the day! As you demonstrated your skills earlier this week and got the crowd's favor. We will be holding a special team match, you and your team. Against a famous gladiator and his team."

"BLOOD BLOOD d*cks BLOOD!"

Hearing the chanting of the crowd with an odd remark from a man sitting in a high booth with leaves on his head. Was a little invigorating, minus the leaf guy, weirdo. I could hardly wait as the guards led another team of gladiators out into the ring. It was led by a large man holding a claymore. He was wearing full heavy metal armor while the others gladiators were wearing armor similar to B&S knights armor. The people on my team were nearly naked including me! And I was the only person with a weapon on our team.

Sadly it's not a fair fight so I'll even the odds once the fight starts. A group of people holding super long trumpets walk out and start to play song after song singing random hymns. Then they surround us and blow their trumpet things. The gladiators on the other side group up and walk towards us slowly.

Realizing this is the start of the battle I charge at the people nearest to me, my teammates. I kill them quickly by cutting of their heads. My last 2 teammates are a bit far away so I channel my magic to my fire mold and fill it. After it's filled I send a ball of fire each at my remaining teammates.

"FIRE!"

The crowd shouts as the fire kills my remaining teammates. I walk over my dead teammates who were burned with fire and cut off their heads and throw them at the gladiators who were stunned by what just transpired. The 2 heads crash into 2 different gladiators knocking them back. So I decided to taunt them.

"Never seen magic before?"

"The fire?"

"Yes magic."

"The fire?"

"Yes the f*cking fire!"

"The fire?"

I swear this guy is a dumb*ss. He has asked the same question 3 times! In the most stupid voice like a goldfish that can't remember anything after 3 seconds. Wait, what was I talking about? Oh isn't that guy supposed to be the leader he better be the leader for his strength not his brains. He looks muscular enough to be strong, as strong as me probably not.

"FIRE FIRE flaming d*cks FIRE!"

If I get the chance to meet that guy who says nothing but d*ck, I'm going to kill him. Anyway, time to claim some heads. So I ran at the enemy gladiators. My inner monologue gave the gladiators time to form up again. So I run at them swinging my sword, it clashes with the first gladiators and he steps back. I step forward and lunge, my sword stabs his exposed neck. I swipe my sword horizontally, cutting off half his head.

I then target one of the only 2 shield wielding gladiators. He raises his shield to block my charge but I kick his shield and it leaves me an opening to cut his cubital fossa(inner elbow) making his forearm go limp. With one stroke I take his head after he is unable to properly raise his shield.

Most of the gladiator's bodies showed signs of fear. They were shaking, while the experienced gladiator's mouth was open. I continue to cut through the gladiators until there are three left. I decided to leave the skilled one for last and take care of the cannon fodder.

I dash for the last 2 and jump 6 feet off the ground much higher than humanly possible normally. I'll need to find out why later, but no distractions, just killing. I had the time to think about this while I was landing and cutting the Achilles tendon of a remaining gladiator and skewering another. I left my sword in the skewered gladiator, letting him bleed to death. I lunge forward and grab around the now kneeling gladiator. I hold his head with one hand and punch his neck, breaking it and killing him.

After deciding to bludgeon the skilled gladiator to death as a finale. I walk over to him and gesture to his dead teammates.

"Ready to join them?"

"You gonna pick up a weapon?"

"I'll beat the sh*t out of you without them."

"I'll do the same."

"Keep the sword I'll win anyway."

He grunts in acceptance and we fight.
