Chapter 80 - Championship

1-5-805 IC

The maids are helping Ainz put on the clothes.

Today is the final day of the Martial Lord Championship. The most popular competition in the empire. This competition is held every 10 years. It was started by Ainz eight hundred years ago. Many people from the whole empire participated in this competition. Those who win this competition are rewarded by Ainz himself. Also, anyone can participate in this competition. Today is the final day of the 80th championship.

Today is the final day of this competition. So Ainz was getting ready to go.

"Ainz-Sama, you are ready," the maid said politely.

"Thank you"

Ainz then looked at his face in the mirror.

He leaves the room.

Albedo is waiting for him.

"let's go"

....

Ainz's royal procession began its journey towards the Colosseum. They are proceeding along the main road. The road is 100 meters wide. An eager crowd has gathered on both sides of the road. Security personnel are trying to maintain order. There are plenty of shadow demons, Hanzos, ninjas, etc. around. Who is keeping an eye on everything.

The Colosseum is built on 2,228,1290 square feet of land. It has a total of one million seats. Many people came from all over the empire to watch the fight.

This has greatly increased the business of the merchants of the city.

Jircniv Rune Farlord El-Nix Grand Colosseum. It is located in Baharuth state. The final will be held here.

As the royal carriages approached the entrance of the Colosseum, the two frost giants guarding the entrance quickly opened the gate. They wear runic armor and carry huge runic halberds.

They closed the VIP entrance after the royal carriages entered.

....

Demuirage opens the carriage doors.

The carriage was pulled by two hundred level undead horses. This carriage was made with Ainz's safety in mind. It is easily able to withstand a few tenth-tier attacks.

Ainz and Albedo came out.

Many people are here to welcome them.

They all looked at Ainz and bowed.

"Raise your heads"

"Hmm, when does the fight start?"

"Begin in thirty minutes, Your Majesty."

A man said. who is in charge of this arena.

"Hmmm"

"Ah! Neia Baraja, how are you?"

Neia Baraja is now the supreme religious leader of the Sorcerous Empire.

"I'm fine with your wishes, Ainz sama! I'm glad to meet you!"

"Me too. If I remember clearly we last met a few years ago"

"Hmmm"

"Shizu, What about you?"

"I'm fine, Ainz sama."

The automaton girl replied.

CZ2128 Delta and Neia are good friends. The two of them had become very good friends since the Holy Kingdom incident. So Ainz appointed Delta as Neia's bodyguard. So that Shizu can spend time with her friend. Because he understands the meaning of friendship.

In more than 800 years, technology has advanced a lot. So there have been many changes in CZ2128. She is an automation. She has been updated many times to increase her power. She currently contains the most advanced technologies of the Sorcerous Empire. Which makes her over 100 levels stronger. She is the most powerful automation in the Sorcerous empire.

Ainz then looked at a woman dressed in black.

"Lilith, how are you?"

"I am good, Lord Ainz"

Lilith was formerly Empress of the Demon Empire located on the Heimer continent. She is as intelligent and scheming as Demuirage. She conquered a large part of the continent through her wits and intrigues. She would have taken over the entire Heimer continent if the Sorcerous Empire's army hadn't appeared. She couldn't do it because of the Sorcerous Empire's army. There were many fierce battles between the Sorcerous Empire and the Demon Empire. This battle lasted for several years. But when Ainz himself entered the battlefield, the Demon Empire's chances of winning were greatly reduced.

Since Lilith's army is made up of a large portion of demons. So Ainz brought Rubedo with him. Because she is an angel. Rubedo destroys a large part of the Demon army in a moment. Because of this Lilith surrendered. Because she had lost hope of winning.

She gives her loyalty to Ainz. Because she comes from a nation that respects the strong. But Ainz never fully trusted Lilith. Ainz kept an eye on Lilith for years.

Currently, she is Demuirage's wife. Their marriage was due to love. As these two are the same in nature. So they are easily attracted to each other. Seeing their love, Ainz allowed them to marry.

Ainz then looked at Demuirage and Lilith's child.

Lore Alain Odle. She is a scientist of the Sorcerous Empire. A mad scientist.

She is the father's daughter. She also likes to do strange research like Demuirage. It's her hobby. She helps Demuirage with various researches.

"Okay then let's go"

...

The Colosseum was built very strongly. Many protective items and spells were used in its creation. This Colosseum is built in such a way that if even a few level 100 beings fight here, nothing will happen. Safety is given priority here.

Strong magical protection systems are used around the arena. So that no matter how strong the fight between the contestants is, the audience is not harmed. The Colosseum is full of people.

Many people from the entire empire came here to watch the match today.

Not only city traders but also many betting companies are benefiting from this. Many people are betting on their favorite Participant. The entire match is displayed in the entire empire through magic items.

Many people are sitting with interest to watch today's fight.

This is not a brutal fight. If someone dies in this fight they are brought back to life with the revive spell. Also, the injured were fully cured

...

After Duma's first fight, he fought a lot of different opponents for the incoming rounds. He has fought a lot of demi-human, Human, and heteromorphic participants.

In his battle with the humanoids, some of them have put up a good fight against him.

As for the demi-humans, he faced several of them, but among them, one caught Duma's full attention. One Lizardman. Because of him, He went berserk.

And his fight with Heteromorphic wasn't easy, they gave him a hard time.

He still remembers when he faced a dragonoid opponent. He gave his all to defeat him. He has come this far through many struggles

During his fight with them, Duma didn't take them lightly and took them seriously from the very beginning.

In the end, Duma managed to defeat all of them.

Duma won all the rounds in the Colosseum he belongs to. His name keeps going up whenever he wins a fight.

Many names of different participants are also rising to the top, but the number of participants has dropped as they all reach the higher stages.

The number keeps decreasing until two names are the only ones that are left at the very top of the Jircniv Rune Farlord El-Nix Grand Colosseum, and the two names that are displayed are 'Duma' and 'Fla'.

Duma, teleports to the walkway that leads to the arena. As he reached the gate, he heard the sound of an anchor who was talking with his lungs out.

Duma was not weirded out by the anchor's speech, as he had heard him in many matches.

"On my left is the God kin 'Duma' as Challenger, who has presented us with a unique way of fighting." The anchor finished as Duma entered the arena.

"On my right is the werewolf Fla' as Challenger, who dominated the arena with his raw strength and agility," Anchor said as a werewolf about two and a half meters in height entered the arena. He had a muscular build and wore armor with gold and grey mixed in it, giving it a good look, Instead of a sword or any other weapon, he was wearing a pair of gauntlets on his every hand.

"As both contestants are here, ladies and gentlemen, the final battle of the Grand Colosseum is starting. The winner will be able to earn the reward by Ainz-sama and Earn the title of 80th Martial Lord ." Anchor finished as he looked at both of us.

"ARE YOU READY?"

"YES"

"THEN BATTLE BEGINS"

the anchor announced as the werewolf launched his attack with insane speed as he closed the distance between him and Duma.

Vertical Strike

As his sharp claws approach Duma like a reaper ready to harvest life, Duma quickly raises his sword and blocks them.

"Nice speed," Duma Said as he launched his attack with his left hand, which was quickly blocked by the opponent's fist.

Seeing that both of them are in a lockdown position, they quickly kick the ground and make the distance between themselves.

As they are at a distance Duma quickly casts a spell in the direction of the opponent to which the Werewolf smashes the incoming spell with a punch.

When Duma was about to continue with his attack, The werewolf suddenly vanished from his spot as a heavy kick came from the right side, which Duma was hardly able to dodge by shifting his body backward.

The whole fight seems like a never-ending, orchestrated dance. Someone will throw an attack, the other one will block it, then do a counter, then the counter will be blocked by the other, then do a counter too, then it will be blocked again and counter, then repeat. It's like this throughout the fight.

"You're so goddamn annoying!" Duma shouted as he started getting annoyed by the never-ending loop of giving and taking.

"How strange. Because I feel the same thing about you too!" The werewolf, who had been silent until now, retorted as he blocked the counterattack and threw back his own counter too.

"Oh, now you can talk, I was actually thinking that you were a mute before," Duma said as he blocked another attack.

The werewolf closed in like a storm; his right hand clenched into a fist, which he threw in a straight punch. If it were anybody else in place of Duma, then there would be no doubt their heads would be sent flying from such an unexpected attack.

But Duma was hardly able to dodge the attack by tilting his head. "Don't you know that it is considered impolite to attack a person who just talked to you?"

There is no doubt that his words pissed off his opponent, not just his opponent but probably all the contestants who fought him with their words.

Ignoring Duma's words, the werewolf continued to attack with punches and kicks, but all of them were blocked or dodged by Duma.

Seeing that 'Fla' attack doesn't do anything to Duma. The opponent used his final Trump card.

WRATH OF THE FALLEN MONKS

Fla utters as an illusion of a giant-blood thirsty beast appears behind his back.

As the 'Fla' Trump Card took effect.

The Werewolf's body swelled up to several times its original size, his golden eyes now turned crimson red and his arms were so long that they dragged upon the ground. This was not pneumatic inflation, but a sturdy arm of muscle and bone that was a weapon in its own right.

Anyone would take a step back just looking at Duma's opponent. Indeed, even Duma was surprised by the sudden change, but only for a moment. Seeing that his opponent decided to go all out, Duma became more serious.

The gigantic arm closed in on Duma. It moved much faster than he had previously imagined, filling up his field of vision like a gigantic wall. Duma sensed that he would have a hard time evading and cast one of the defensive abilities.

And at the same time, he felt a massive impact, as well as his body being savagely hurled through the air. His line of sight spun round and round, and he had no idea where he was. When he hit the floor, the impact was such that he bounced lightly off, like a ball. Then he hit the ground again this time sliding to a halt.

Blood comes out of Duma's mouth

"Shit, that really caught me off guard," Duma said out loud as another punch entered his field of vision.

I was surprised. No, 'surprise' might be inaccurate, 'confusion' would be the correct word to describe my current situation. If I had not seen his previous match and attack pattern, It caused me more trouble. However, considering his previous battle and his natural battle instinct, I do believe that he decided to give his all to defeat me.

Greater Evasion

Heavy Fortress

Strong Assault

Instant Counter

Greater Limit Breaker

Greater Physical Boost

Greater Ability Boost

Gale Acceleration

...

The colosseum erupted in cheers for the umpteenth time that day as the audience roared while two people were fighting one another to the death. The stadium was packed to the brim with people.

Duma stepped forward.

Duma standing in front suddenly vanished. He was engaged in an intense melee with Fla

Their battle looks beautiful enough for the whole stadium to turn their focus on the ongoing battle.

Even for Duma, who had seen and participated in lots of matches against strong opponents....be it Humanoid, Demi-Human, or Heteromorphic races even all of them his current opponent Fla is stronger.

Indeed, even for Duma, Fla is one of the most powerful opponents he encountered.

As they progress with their fight, Fla who was in the effect of his skill shows some sign of slowing down as his skill effect started to wear off.

And seeing this, Duma who has been waiting for a chance to end this battle goes into offensive mode as he continues to deliver heavy punches.

Each of their attacks was creating huge shockwaves. However, the magical barriers were absorbing the shockwave so that people outside the arena were not harmed by it. Because these shockwaves are so severe that its can smash a normal person in a moment

Duma didn't stop there. He immediately moved into position and then struck Fla with a blow powerful enough to knock him to his back.

Grand Heavy Blow!

Clang! Fla was blown a good distance away. Though he remained on his feet, he was still skidding over the cobblestoned floor at a rate that would swiftly wear out his massive legs. After several dozen meters, he finally came to a halt.

It was evident how intense their combat had been from the heavy damage the gold-plated armor. Nevertheless, the man who was standing there remained silent and displayed no signs of discomfort at all. He stumbles to his feet again.

Even though Fla is giving a tough impression of himself Duma and Fla know that this match is already over.

"Well, that was fun. How shall I put it...I truly enjoyed the battle with you."

"For me, it was one of the shit matches," Fla replied as Duma walked towards him.

"If that's the case, please accept my apology," Duma said as he made his final attack ending the match.

Grand Iron Fist

As an anchor voice heard throughout the Colosseum.

.....

Ainz put a hand to his chin, as he observed the winner.

"By my estimate he should be at least level 85. Who is he?."

"He is a descendant of Lord Lucifer. He was trained by Lord Lucifer himself."

"Hmm. He is very strong. But his opponent was also very great. Who was he?"

"He's from the continent of Dildar. He's competed three times before. This is his fourth time."

"Hmm.Comfort him on my behalf"

"I understand "

"Albedo, I heard the gods of the Special region rebelled."

"I apologize for that, Ainz Sama. We didn't kill these idiots. Because that would upset the balance of the Special Region. So we seal their power. They cannot use their powers without our consent. We also eliminated most of the army they had raised against us.

But since the apostles are immortal. So we sent them to Demuirage's farm."

"Don't worry, Ainz Sama. I take very good care of them. They are very happy and doing well at the farm."

Demuirage said with a mischievous grin.

"Very good. Also any info on World 001 (AOT world)?"

"As per your order, we have established friendly relations with the natives there.

They have agreed to train one of their regiments under us."

"That's really cool!"

"Expected from Ainz-Sama "

Demuirage said.

"By receiving training from our people, they will spread the greatness of our empire to their world. We will also use them to take over World 001. In this, the people of that world will request to be under us. Ainz sama is truly unmatched!"

Lilith said as the Demuirage did.

These two

"Very well. But buy the weapons from Earth to train them. They have not yet come under us. So I don't want them to know more about our weapons. Also, the people of World 001 know nothing about magic. So we cannot suddenly present magical items in front of them.

This can cause problems. We will gradually introduce magical items in front of them."

"I understand, Ainz Sama. Also Ainz sama, I plan to kidnap several high-ranking people from World 001 and replace them with our people."

"Very good. Go ahead."

"Ainz sama, I've heard about the Titans of World 001. I'm interested in researching them."

"Hmm, but do you have time for that?"

"I know I have a lot of duty. So I want to give this responsibility to my daughter."

"Really!" Lore said excitedly.

Crazy daughter of a crazy father

"Okay. But Lore, the people of World 001 are normal humans. So don't scare them or bother them. Treat them as well as possible."

"I will remember that, Ainz sama."

Lore said with a bow.

"Hmmm. Ainz-Sama, may I ask permission to send some priests into World 001? Who will preach your religion there" Neia said.

"Ah, that would be great!"

Albedo, Lilith, and Demuirage said together.
