Episode 54

Before long, the arena was filled with the corpses of gladiators, and the surviving gladiators began to look at each other and fall into a stalemate.

-Kill him! Kill him!

-Wow!

The moment the gladiators’ movements became slow and the audience began to boo…

-Koosh!

In the center of the stadium, an unidentified man covered in a black cloak fell from the sky.

The moment everyone’s eyes are focused on an unidentified man who has invaded the stadium…

-Flutter!

The unidentified man rose from his seat and threw off his cloak, revealing his bronzed abs, and the familiar special entrance music began to resonate throughout the Colosseum.

-Oh no! Alexon! Alexon has invaded the stadium! Ahhh!!

-Gyaaah! I want Alex’s abs!

“Shut up!!”

-Gyaaaah!

As soon as Alexon entered the arena, the atmosphere in the Colosseum began to heat up.

“This kind of trivial arena show is completely prohibited! I’ll show you the best show from now on, so watch closely! [Triple Six Hurricane!]”

-Kugugugu!

-Kuaaaak!

Alexson, who had suddenly burst into the arena, began to float into the air while spinning at high speed in the center, and began to blow away the surrounding gladiators with the wind pressure.

“Ugh!”

It’s amazing to see Alexon’s skills, being able to create such wind pressure with just human power.

Thanks to Alexon’s technique, all the gladiators in the center were blown out of the arena and slammed into the wall.

“Hahahahaha! I’ll show you the power of my abs! [Triple Six Storm!]”

-Kururung!

Purple sparks began to fly from Alex’s abs as he floated into the air, and purple lightning struck the stadium.

-Kwarrung!

-Eww!

-Ahhhh!

Every time lightning strikes, the gladiators’ screams can be heard.

“Now the mood is heating up! Come on! From now on, I’ll kill all those who can’t attack me satisfactorily! ”

“The most popular gladiator, you’re crazy! Die!”

A gladiator of the 4th rank or higher who was near Alexon swung his sword with a sword aura and rushed at Alexon, swinging his sword.

-Kaaaang!

The sound of metal clashing echoed as the gladiator’s sword, encircled by Sword Auror, collided with Alexson’s abs.

“What!”

“Wow!”

-Tsk…Kyaaang!

With Alexon’s shout, the gladiator’s sword cracked and broke.

“Ha! This is all you can do! You fail, die! [Triple Six Lariat!]”

-Phew!

The gladiator’s head burst like a watermelon when struck by Alexon’s technique.

-Heeek, run away! It’s a monster!

-Whoaaah!

Some gladiators, frightened by the overwhelming difference in strength, began to run away from Alexon.

“How dare you! Run away from me! Die!!”

-Bam! Bam!

-Kyaaak!

“Come back! Attack me to make me hot!”

Alexon throws the fleeing gladiators to the ground and begins dancing again.

-Kang! Kang!

-Pfft!

After that, several gladiators challenged him, but none survived.

If we continue to watch without challenging him, the gladiators will die at the hands of Alexon. If there are only 10 gladiators left, will they be able to leave the arena?

I had a brief moment of hopeful thoughts, but…

“Rioon! Come out now! I know you’re about to awaken your Aura! If you don’t come out, I’ll finish off all the other guys and find you! ”

Alex was looking for me.

“Hoo…”

I was thinking of awakening Sword Auror and challenging Alexon once I got more familiar with it, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of waiting for me.

It’s a mountain that has to be overcome anyway.

-Clang…!Thud!

As he approached Alexson, he took off his helmet and threw it on the ground.

“Hahahaha! You’re finally out, Leon! I have high expectations for you! Show me your greatest attack! ”

In order to attack Alexon’s abs, which cannot be pierced by an ordinary sword auror, I need to pour everything I have into a single blow.

Even if I can’t perfectly reproduce the ‘Sky Begi’ that my father showed me, if I can at least imitate it…

-Clang!

He put the sword back into its scabbard and assumed a sword-drawing stance.

“It looks like it takes some time, okay! I’ll wait as long as you want! ”

Alexson looked at me with an expectant expression, his bronze abs sticking out and he took a stance.

I closed my eyes for a moment and concentrated.

-Kugugugu…

A huge vortex of mana began to swirl around me, though not as much as my father’s.

It feels like it has the power to explode if you just touch it a little.

Preparations are complete.

I opened my closed eyes and whispered softly to Alex.

“Go.”

“Come!”

[Sky Begi]

-Kwaaang!

As I drew my sword and swung it, a sound of extremely compressed power exploding erupted.

At the same time, I felt the mana that had been circulating only inside my body pass through my hand and wrap around my sword.

“Whoaap!”

“Haaap!”

-Kugugugu…!

Alexon’s abs and my sword, with its crimson aura gleaming, collided, and a huge shockwave shook the Colosseum.

-Crash… crash…!

“Ha! Lee Jung-don!”

-Kaaaang!

As Alex laughed at me as if I was ridiculous, the longsword I struck at his abs cracked and eventually shattered into pieces.

“In the end, this is all you can do! Stop it now…! Ugh…!”

-Tch…!

“Kkaaaak!”

-Pakang!

There was a cracking sound from Alex’s abs, followed by a scream from Alex and the sound of something breaking.

“Oh my god! My abs!!”

I looked up and examined Alexson’s abs, and saw a tiny dent in his bronzed abs.

-Leon! Leon! You hurt Alex’s abs!!

-Gyaaaah! Alexson’s abs!

The entire Colosseum was shocked by the news that Alexon had a wound on his abs, but Alexon, who had recovered, reached out to me.

-Oh my…!

“That was a great hit, Leon. ”

.

.

.

“Hoo…”

-Whoaaah…

I soaked my body in the hot water of the bathtub and washed my face.

“Not much left.”

Finally, I awakened my aura and crossed the 4th level wall.

Now that I have surpassed the highest 4th tier wall, I must quickly hone my Sword Aura to the limit and reach the 6th tier.

“Wait, Clement.”

#

After awakening Sword Aura, there was nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Now, even if I met a strong opponent, I wasn’t confident that I could use the Sword Aura together with them unless they brought the Sword Master.

I am confident.

Today, I stopped by the blacksmith shop to get a new longsword that was shattered in the battle with Alexon.

“Hey, the most famous person from our Caracalla Colosseum recently came to visit.”

The bearded blacksmith who discovered me greeted me with a chuckle.

“Is there a longsword with good mana transfer rate?”

Now that you can wield Sword Aura, the sword’s mana conductivity has become important.

“Of course, let’s see…”

-Thump…!

He took out three boxes that looked quite luxurious.

“Take a look. Even though they are mass-produced, they are items made by the famous Blacksmith Workshop of the Holy Ram Empire, so the quality is guaranteed. ”

-Sreung…

-Clang!

I took out the strongest-looking sword from the box and sent Mana flying.

-Zzz…!

A dark red sword aura, similar in color to my eyes, rose from the tip of the sword.

Most people have blue-colored mana, but it is not uncommon for people like Alexon and me to have mana of different colors and properties.

Compared to the longsword I used before, I felt like the mana flowed through the sword without any obstruction.

“Not bad, I’ll take this.”

“5 gold florins.”

“That’s really expensive.”

“They gave me a discount on this too.”

“Then I guess I can’t help it. ”

-Jjallang…

He took all the money he had saved and handed it over to the blacksmith.

Now that you can handle the Sword Aura, the blade won’t get damaged too much, so even though it’s a bit expensive, it’s a worthwhile investment.

“Huh…See you next time.”

The blacksmith who received five gold coins from me smiled and waved at me.

##

It’s already been a month since I awakened Sword Auror, but my life hasn’t changed much.

As usual, you fight to the death with an opposing gladiator and receive money.

-Phew…!

-Whoa!

He thrust his sword into the opponent’s neck, twisted his wrist, and pulled it out.

“Ouch!”

-dump!

The gladiator, who had wrapped his hand around the spot where the sword had been, fell to his knees helplessly.

-Leon takes care of Ganymede! Now there are three gladiators left!

-Lion! Leon! Leon!

“Cover at the same time!”

The remaining three gladiators surrounded me and rushed at me while swinging their swords at the same time.

-Zzz…!

The crimson sword aura began to flow along the blade of the long sword.

“Sword Aura! Don’t block, just damage!”

One gladiator who saw the sword aura stopped charging and warned the other two gladiators.

“It’s too late! Just attack! ”

-Crunch!

The longsword, slashed horizontally, left a red trail and struck the other two gladiators.

“Kyaaak!”

The axe and sword that the two gladiators were carrying as they charged at me were cut off along with their arms.

-Thud!

“What the heck!”

-Tadat!

As the other two gladiators fell, the last remaining gladiator rushed at me, cursing.

-Whirik! Phew!

“Ouch…!”

He held the longsword in the opposite direction and spun it counterclockwise, then stabbed the opponent who was running towards him in the neck.

-dump!

-The winner is Rioon! He will show an overwhelming performance against four gladiators! Ah!

-Lion! Leon! Leon!

.

.

.

“Now even if dozens of ordinary gladiators come, they won’t be able to threaten you. If you keep going like this, you’ll soon become the most popular gladiator? ”

When I returned to the waiting room, the manager smiled with satisfaction and handed me three gold florins.

“There doesn’t seem to be any noticeable injuries… Will you meet the young lady of the Haksen Baekjak today?”

“…I have to go.”
