“Yes! e on, let’s go before all the front seats are taken,” Void said happily before taking the lead.
Grey followed behind. Since ing here, he had been wearing a mask all the time, hiding his face from people. Although he doesn’t usually admit it, he knew that his face might cause trouble for him.
They soon got to a large colosseum-like building. People were flocking into the place, all speaking exaggeratedly.
Grey headed towards the entrance, and before he could get there.
“There’s the cat, get it!” Someone exclaimed from the side, pointing at Void.
“Oh crap, you’re on your own now,” Void said before taking off.
Two ladies, acpanied by a young man, ran towards them with annoyed looks on their faces.
By the time they got there, Void was obviously long gone.
One of the young ladies stamped her feet on the ground angrily, before turning to Grey, “You, it was on your shoulder, so you obviously have a connection with it,”
“Huh?” Grey had a look of confusion on his face, he couldn’t help but look at his back wondering if the young lady was speaking to someone else.
“Stop pretending, where’s the cat?” The young lady asked, rudely.
“Did he provoke you in any way?” Grey asked helplessly.
“That insolent cat laughed at me,” The young lady said while gritting her teeth.
“Wait, what?” Grey was slightly taken aback. He couldn’t believe the young lady was causing all these issues because Void laughed at her.
“It tripped me and started laughing when I fell down,” The young lady explained.
“Oh, sorry about that. He’s a handful, I’m lucky to still be alive having a partner like that,” Grey apologized.
Even though the young lady spoke rudely at first, he could tell she didn’t really mean any harm.
“Hmph! Fine, since you’ve apologized, I’ll let it go,” The young lady said before leaving with her friends.
Grey just watched on as they left, he couldn’t help but shake his head, wondering just how many people Void offended while he was in the library.
‘To be safe, I should stop walking with him. Who knows if he has offended someone that can kill me with a single slap?’ He thought to himself.
Void and Klaus are known for always being troublemakers, this is one of the reasons he had refused to let Void leave on his own. But since he was busy, it didn’t seem right to keep him cooked up with him.
After looking around to see if he could spot Void, he walked towards the entrance. He paid the entrance fee which was two hundred mid-grade essence stones before stepping into the place. Following the crowd, he was lucky and actually managed to get a seat in the third row. This was one of the places closer to the arena.
The people around all looked at him weirdly when they saw him taking a seat. Every single individual in the first, second and third rows were either in the Late stages of the Overlord Plane, or the Mid stages, except for Grey, who was still at the Peak of the Origin Plane.
‘Hey, where are you sitting?’ Void’s voice suddenly resounded in Grey’s head.
‘In the fifth row, why do you ask?’ Grey replied.
‘Do you want to get killed? e to the back seats, didn’t you notice people in the Early stages of the Overlord Plane refuse to seat that close?’ Void asked worriedly.
‘Oh, I was a little surprised about it, I just thought most of them didn’t like sitting close to the arena which is a strange thing,’ Grey explained.
‘There are no protection arrays around the arena, so the aftershocks of their attacks affect the spectators. According to what I heard, they made it like this so that it would be more entertaining, and dangerous of course,’ Void said.
‘Oh, all the more reason I should stay here,’ Grey replied.
He hadn’t trained his physical body for a while now, if it can go through a series of aftershocks, then it would slowly start improving.
If Void were to know the reason Grey didn’t want to leave his seat, he would be flabbergasted.
People were running away because it was dangerous, yet Grey wanted to use it to train his physical body.
‘Also, why did you trip that girl?’ Grey asked.
‘I didn’t, she was running and almost kicked me, I only created a small lightning wall that blocked the kick, of course she was electrocuted by it and fell as well,’ Void said.
Grey was short of words when he heard this. The young lady didn’t speak of the lightning attack, only saying he tripped her and started laughing as well.
….
While Grey and Void were still discussing, a well-dressed man walked into the arena.
“Ladies and gentlemen, wele. Today we’ll be having a special event by the end of today’s battles, but for now, let the battles begin,” The man said gently, but his voice was heard by every individual in the colosseum.
“The first battle will be between Gareth and a Barbarian,” The man announced, before leaving the arena.
When the spectators heard of the Barbarians, they exploded in multiple conversations.
“Wow! A Barbarian? I haven’t seen one battle in a long time,”
“Yeah, but I think Gareth will win easily, don’t forget that he’s been on a fifty match win streak, killing every single opponent,”
“Yeah, it’s one thing winning here, but it’s another killing all your opponents,”
“If he wins the next fifty battles, he will be able to regain his freedom,”
Grey looked around curiously, waiting for the fighters to e. He overheard the conversations of the people around and couldn’t help but be surprised by the record the man called Gareth had.
Being able to win fifty battles wasn’t an easy feat.
Soon, a figure soon walked towards the arena from the side of the arena, wearing a battle suit.
The crowd cheered as soon as they saw the man.
