With the would-be robbers' blood dulling the blade of his morality, Ackster had a hunch he would have an easier time claiming victory in the raw life-and-death battles of the Tarragia Gladiatoreum.
Unlike the battles and duels on Matar, which were nothing more than intense spars thanks to the advanced and well-developed healing abilities on the islands, the battles in Myrrhia's colosseums were of a more violently entertaining nature.
Losing on Matar had simply been a matter of having to try again.
Losing on Myrrhia was more of trying again in your next life.
That and the fact that the Sun God Token was the grand prize of the Tarragia Gladiatoreum was as much Ackster knew about the southern half of the continent. The Hero had stopped by, but his business had been up north to deal with a hostile Yeti migration.
