Chereads / Archfiend Emperor / Chapter 7 - Colosseum

Chapter 7 - Colosseum

Out there is an elliptical colosseum about 200 meters long and 150 meters wide. With the highest point of the walls reaching almost 50 meters. The colosseum's central arena is about 90 meters long and 50 meters wide, currently surrounded by a 5-meter wall, above then which are the tiers of seating, currently occupied by inhuman beings.

Marcus thought that it won't be impossible for this colosseum to house as much as 50 000 individuals. Currently, though, it is only occupied by a rough estimate of 5 000 individuals varying in looks and sizes. It would take Marcus a long time, to examine each. Looking at the thousands of audiences, Marcus could see a section on the seating which looks like one reserved for the VIPS in the east.

On the area there was a mountain of food situated on the floor, putting no effort in putting up an appetizing display, it looks like they just put every roasted meat and fruit they had without a care in a mishmash of assorted food mountain.

Seated before the mountain of food are two individuals, one was a gigantic pig about 6 meters tall focused on the fight below, meanwhile, the other individual is a beautiful woman with dragonfly-like wings, currently gorging on to the mountain of food in an unladylike manner.

'What the hell' Marcus almost couldn't believe his own eyes if what he is seeing is true. Such contrast from her looks on her current display just made him still for a few seconds.

Leaving not even a single bone or even the skin and seeds of the fruits, she ate everything in a manner Marcus' would question how could she fit so many things in such a slender body.

Marcus thought that if left alone, the mountain of food would probably be gone before long. However, before a good chunk of it is distinctly devoured, a pig lady would then bring a basket of food to repair the mountain.

Moving his gaze away from the woman with a mysterious appetite, Marcus put his attention at the central arena.

Currently, the central arena is also surrounded by a transparent dome of unknown purpose you could barely notice.

Right now, inside the central arena, there is a wounded gigantic beast about 3 meters tall. With a flame-red head that looks like that of a lion with its dark red mane, it got a body filled with tiger-like patterns. What's more mysterious are the flames currently appearing from its paws and tail.

"What is that monster?" Marcus asked no one in particular, he just thought that it would be welcome if anyone could enlighten him. He really is in another world, and encountering strange things isn't stopping anytime soon. Such a ferocious monster, he doesn't know if he could have survived if he had encounter one in the forest before.

Then Wave whom currently has a pale face looking at the scene replied "That is a strong Tier 2 beast, Scarlet Liger, it could breathe flames that could even turn a Tier 2 being into ashes"

Wave is currently anxious, wondering if he would be fighting such a beast too after.

Against the Tier 2 beast, there are two humans fighting against it while wearing the special prison's iconic attire. On their hands to are the metallic bracelets that Marcus' neighbor said to be a power sealing device.

One was a brown-haired buff man which currently has the liger's attention, and the other was a skinny blue-haired man trying to circle behind the beast.

Looking more carefully at the central arena, Marcus discovered that there was a human corpse not far from the 3, varying degrees of burns could be seen from the corpse where a large part of it has already become charcoal.

ROAR!

Moving his eyes back on to the three, Marcus widened his eyes as he saw the beast let out a massive roar which sent out a torrent of fire from its mouth like that of a huge flamethrower.

The red-haired buff man barely escapes with his clothes on fire. Before it could damage him further, the man ripped his clothes apart revealing his buffed body.

The blue-haired skinny man on the other took his chance when the beast started roaring, he moved sneakily fast near the liger's wounded hind leg which looks like the result of multiple repeated attacks and let out a magical attack.

Suddenly, a huge blade made out of water suddenly appeared from the blue-haired skinny man's hand and then sent it into the wounded part of the liger's hind leg, penetrating straight into its bones, making the beast suffer in immense pain.

Growl!!!

With a growl of anger, the liger tried to turn its body around trying to attack whoever cause massive pain to into it, but because of the tension, his wounded leg finally broke as it then wobbled in pain trying to regain its balance.

This time the other man won't let this chance pass by...

...

ROAR!!! With one final roar, the beast then falls with a resounding thud.

Thud!

Massive cheers then surrounded the arena, the bloody battle tickled their inner bloodthirstiness right in the spot.

Earlier, with one of its legs broken, the liger's mobility suddenly got limited so much that it couldn't catch its opponents no matter how much effort it puts through.

With the liger having one of its foot down on the graveyard, the two people then use their chance to harass the liger with long-range attacks far away until it finally gave out.

With one in front and one at the back, the liger got played in the end till it died.

With it being a beast full of vitality, it took them time, putting up more effort in making the beast filled with many wounds, helping the beast gain more tiger-like patterns on to its body, giving an overhaul to its previous appearance.

The bloody corpse of the liger lingers in place as it continued to pool out blood in the ground.

Suddenly a lively female voice resounded in the whole colosseum.

"That was fantastic meow!"

"The weak humans have managed to defeat the ferocious Tier 2 beast meow!!!"

On the edge of the central arena, on a tower-like structure just a meter above the central arena's walls, there is a cute catgirl with white fur wearing a sexy outfit, on her hand is a microphone-like object.

The catgirl then continued talking in a lively tone.

"Though one of them has, unfortunately, became charcoal, they still did it! myey!"

"Let's give a round of applause to our little humans right n-eow!"

Amused, the audience then gives a round of applause in turn while they are cheering for the catgirl.

"Everyone is so thoughtful meow! I'm so happy meow!"

"Then that's the end of the round then meow! Congratulations again meow!"

Then the catgirl suddenly moves so fast as she took some kind of paper from the pocket on her butt then look at it as if reading, before turning towards the audience again.

"Then up next, are the debut of our two new arrivals meow! new humans meow! I'm so excited meow!"

"Our present humans will now go in the reward room meow! the next event will then begin after a few meowments!"

Marcus looked at the central arena and saw the light again appearing from the metallic bracelet of the fighters, following that, Marcus saw the metallic gate on the opposite side open.

'Is that where the reward room is?'

Wondering about what the possible rewards are, Marcus turned towards Wave, since it was his turn next.

Marcus saw nervousness on his face, he thought that the beast should've been the same tier as he is and wondered why he's so nervous.

"Then meow! Our first new arrival! Let's welcome, a tier 2 human meow!"

Clang!

Suddenly, the gate in front of Marcus and Wave opened.

A pigman then pushed Wave forward, pushing him with enough force to almost cause him to trip again.

"Go" Said Wave's pig lady.

Wave looked back and decided that it's better to just go through it since he could do nothing, he then began walking towards the center.

Bang!

The gate then closed.

The only human left in the room right now is just Marcus alone, he examined the room again and saw that the earlier 6 pigmen and 3 pig ladies are already gone.

As Marcus' mind was off the arena, he suddenly heard the catgirl speak livelier in an animated voice.

"Then face against him, are his fellow humans! 100 Tier 0 humans! it's our favorite debut battle! it's the one versus 100!!! meow~"

The crowd suddenly erupted in a lively atmosphere as the catgirl finished her words.

Then the entrance on the east of the central arena's walls suddenly opened as a few people started coming out.

A hundred people... but about these 100 people... this even includes some elders, women, and even some children.

Marcus looked disturbed as he thought about the event that is about to unfold...

Marcus couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Fucking hell"
