"Next time...?" Ceozi muttered while in disbelief.
"Of course. I'll be back here again. Okay, thanks for the mask, I have to go." Wain nodded, put the mask on, and opened the spatial rift.
"Where are you going?" Ceozi asked with a worried look.
"To fight." Wain said before leaving.
...
As soon as Wain left the cave, there was a loud clapping with applause as the Watcher of the Colosseum announced the winner.
"That was a great fight! One of the best I've had in a long time!" A man with short black hair said while pointing to the girl.
At the same time, the Ratings of the two fighters changed. The girl received several wounds during the fight, but her victory was unqualified, so her Rating went up 200 lines from 560 to 360.
'Hmm? Is the Watcher someone else this time? I thought Vincenz was always here, day and night.' Wain inwardly muttered as he took one of the empty seats.
There were thousands of people in the Colosseum, so no one paid attention to the appearance of another spectator. Due to Wain wearing a different mask and coat, so the people sitting next to him did not know that Nameless was back.
Click.
Wain opened his status with a table of Colosseum.
'I'm still in 97th place... interesting... Well, that's good, but who is that?' Wain muttered while with a thoughtful look looking at the name at the top of the table of most effective fighters.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWain, Nameless, used to be at the top of the table, but in his long absence, he'd disappeared, so someone called Reaper had taken his place.
Whooooooooosh.
As soon as the previous fighters left the arena, more and more people began to show up at the Colosseum as though they had all come here now for some purpose.
'Hmm? What's going on?' Wain said to himself while in confusion.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The fight you've all been waiting for is about to take place!" The Watcher exclaimed with an energetic look, "Reaper will fight again today! Let's see if the new star of the Colosseum can win again! Many already believe that the Reaper has surpassed the Nameless!"
Whooooosh.
Two names lit up over the arena.
"Tom Hamilton (Rating - 170) vs ? Reaper (Rating - 192)"
Then a young man with thick brown hair, green eyes, and a confident look emerged from the eastern part of the arena. In his hands were two sharp blades that held lightning strikes.
'Damn, he looks dangerous, his Rating is pretty high. I wonder who Reaper is?' Wain wondered while holding his chin.
However, almost no one was looking at Tom, even though his Rating was higher, but everyone was waiting for the second fighter to show up.
A torrent of darkness erupted from the western part of the arena, then a short girl with black hair and a dark cape that completely covered her body stepped forward. She wore a purple mask with the image of evil spirits that seemed to escape, and her deep, blue eyes were visible through it.
"It's Reaper! Damn, I finally saw her!" Someone exclaimed in an excited manner.
"I wonder what's under that mask? I bet she's pretty as hell." His buddy smiled.
"Huh, what an amazing coincidence that two of the best rookies in recent memory are hiding their faces." The man uttered while staring intently at Reaper.
"Are you talking about Nameless? Yeah, that dude was pretty damn cool, but for some reason, I like Reaper even better. She's like death! Ahahahahaha!"
Watcher snapped his fingers as the countdown to the fight began.
'Fuck... This can't be happening, right?' Wain internally muttered while in disbelief.
Tom stepped forward as he pointed his blade at Reaper and said, 'Many believe that you are as strong as Nameless or even already surpassed him, but I will shatter that myth. You are nothing compared to him!"
Reaper didn't answer. With an ice-cold look, she stared at him while exuding a powerful killing intent.
'Well, well, looks like I've got some real fans.' Wain said to himself as he smirked.
"Unlike you, I don't think Nameless is anything unique. He was just a good fighter, who knows where he is now, so maybe he's dead already. Who knows?" Reaper uttered in a deadly voice, covered her hands in darkness, then the countdown was over.
Whooooooooosh.
Reaper created two blades of darkness as they collided in the center of the arena. Tom's lightning bolts attempted to harm Reaper as they rained down on her, but suddenly the darkness from her hands turned into an impenetrable barrier that completely absorbed the attack.
"What...? How?!" Tom exclaimed with a dazed look.
"You're just too weak." Reaper uttered in a serious manner as her eyes flashed.
Dozens of shadow knives appeared above her as though a hail of arrows were raining down on Tom. He had no choice but to retreat, but as soon as he took a few steps, Reaper appeared from behind him out of the stream of darkness.
"That's enough." Reaper uttered in an ice-cold voice since she grabbed Tom by the head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTremble.
A wave of darkness rippled through his body as blood poured from his eyes, then Reaper withdrew her hand, and Tom fell to the ground with a blank look.
"Is this real...?" One of the onlookers muttered while in disbelief.
"Damn... How long was the fight? Thirty seconds?" His buddy uttered with a dazed look.
The onlooker was also shocked for a moment but quickly came to his senses and exclaimed, "The winner is Reaper!"
At the same time, her Rating changed from 192 to 114.
"Who's next?" Reaper asked as she spread her arms to her sides, "Go! I'm ready to fight any one of you! You're no match for me!"
"I'll fight her!" Someone exclaimed.
Into the arena, a muscular man jumped from the stands that with a menacing look, stared at Reaper.
"Wow, we found the next fighter so quickly! Great!" Watcher exclaimed as he was about to start the fight.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
Suddenly a shiver ran through the Watcher's body because of the creepy stare of one man gazing at him. His green eyes literally pierced him.
Whoooooooosh.
Above the muscular one appeared the shadow of a fluttering coat of a man with a black and red mask.
The eyes of all onlookers widened as the man's hand blurred.
Bam.
The muscular one was buried in the ground as the force of the impact shook the entire arena.
"Well, well, I haven't been here in a while, have I?" Wain smirked while looking at Reaper.
