748 They modified their bodies to win at all costs

Vincent finished binding the white handkerchief around Lupa’s eyes. Afterward, as Kazumi mentioned, he quickly moved his gaze onto the gladiators and noticed they were acting strange.

“What is happening, my mate? I am smelling a strange stinky scent and sensing strange movements.” Lupa said while trying to get a grasp of what was happening.

“Ladies and gentelmen. It appears the gladiator Speedy and Punchingbag have chosen to use Zerk Flow at the same time!” The commentator said.

Two people frowned the most at this moment. They were Vincent and Darwin. All five gladiators were of the warrior class. There was no chance such a skill to activate when it wasn’t in their class or skill details.

Vincent focused his gaze and kept looking at the status window in front of his eyes.

“Some people are more shameless than a dog pissing on someone’s leg without any care.” Vincent grunted out of disbelief before gently shaking his head, “And here I thought I should lay low as much as possible...”

The gladiators Swfity and Punchingbag were becoming larger by the second. Their armor pieces snapped off their bodies and fell to the ground.

Furthermore, their clothes started to rip when the fabric could not stretch enough, yet oddly enough, stretchable summer shorts were uncovered after the long pants were ripped halfway. As if they knew their clothes were going to get ripped beforehand.

Mimi smelled a strange bloody scent. She moved her gaze and noticed Vincent frowning at the two changing gladiators. As this happened, the two gladiators, Meaty and Slaveone took out a potion and drank it.

*Tsk* “I want to kill them right now.” Vlad grunted while standing up. His fists were clenched as if he was ready to fight.

“You can not enter the field unless you want to get cursed and possibly suffer a horrible death from bad karma. You need to trust your daughter to survive.” Luciano suggested.

“Surviving? I don’t want to help my daughter. I want to kill those gladiators with horrible blood in their veins. The humans and the bears have the same horrible stench of the unkillable monsters recently appearing. Those mutated freaks.”

While Vlad was explaining how the Seekers Of Rebirth crazy fanatics most likely experienced the gladiators, a royal soldier rushed to the royal area.

“Your majesty. Marquis Darwin Griffinheart wanted me to pass this important note while instructing me to hurry and not cause a scene.” The royal soldier explained.

“Duchess Karta. Read it for me.” The king ordered.

After hearing Vald, the king became cautious. He didn’t know if Darwin was the real sender. He didn’t want to offer any chances of the letter containing poison. Unlike him, Karta could cover her hands with a thin layer of wind and hold the letter without even touching it physically.

“The five gladiators do not have berserker class. They are all warriors. They oddly suffered from high blood pressure, but those who took the mysterious yellow potion have been cured of such ailment.”

“Furthermore, the possibility of the potion being some kind of trigger is plausible. After consuming the potion, they have the word mutated in their details. They have become like the five strange grizzly bear familiars with two identical mutated traits.”

“Your majesty, your highness, Duke Luciano, Duchess Karta, and Guild Master Vlad. Vincent can see what is happening, and he knows what they are up against. We can only leave the leadership to him and hope they can win against five warriours forcefully mutated into berserkers.”

Karta crushed the note. “This is all the note said. I believe the Lionheart team is going to face a lot of difficulties.” She said while unhappily shaking her head.

Luciano moved his gaze to Ester. He became angered at the thought of watching his granddaughter lose her life in front of his eyes.

“I will not lose my granddaughter today. She is more precious than anyone can imagine.” Luciano stated, showing he might also decide to interfere with the judgment by combat and accept being cursed to death.

Anna was flustered to hear Luciano speak such words and to hear how Ester, the woman who showed otherworldy dances in the past few days had more chances to die instead of living.

Anna turned her wheelchair to face her father. “Please announce that I have been sponsoring the Lionheart Family recently.”

“Huh?” The king was astonished to hear his daughter abruptly decided to give more material to the nobles of the aristocratic faction to force marriage upon his daughter.

“Please, after the fight ends, let everyone know I am sponsoring the Lionheart family.” Anna requested.

Karta understood what Anna meant. “I agree with what her highness said. Whoever wins means their family is not to be trifled with.”

Karta looked at the field and continued, “If the Lionheart team wins, they might get annoyed many times by pesky low nobles.”

“... I will see when the time comes.” The king responded, causing Anna to smile brightly as if she knew her father would accept her request.

Four large bulky humans with ripped clothes were on the field. Two were in front of Vincent and Lupa. The other two were in front of Mimi.

Mimi rushed to Vincent’s side. “I noticed the expression on your gaze. It looks like what I am thinking is right.” She said while moving to stand behind him.

“They have mutated and are somehow using...” Vincent paused when Mimi gently bit his neck and started drinking a little of his blood to replenish the blood she used. It was also to refresh the stat buff she received for drinking Vincent’s blood.

Ester landed beside them from doing a black flip. “My opponent drank a glowing yellow potion and started to change. He frotted from his mouth, and I think I saw his blood was turning yellow.” She informed.

Vincent moved his gaze to the fifth gladiator named Bloody. A deep frown appeared on Vincent’s face at the view of the status window in front of his eyes. Even Kazumi was shocked to see his details.

“First of all, yes, they have become mutated like the beasts we encountered in the forest. They have become twice as powerful as before while mutating new powerful traits.”

“Can we win this fight?” Asked Ester promptly.

“I will beat them with my claws.” Lupa proudly boasted.

Mimi pulled out her fangs from Vincent’s neck. She delightfully licked her lips and added, “We need to go all out to have a chance. We need to fight like there is no tomorrow.”

.....

“We also can not let Vincent change.” Ester looked at Vincent and continued, “I will reveal all my power. Please do not blame me too much for attracting too much attention to us.”

“Blame you? I am your man. Thus, no one will bother my wife to do things we do not want to do.” Vincent responded reassuringly.

“Humph!” Lupa crossed her arms and pouted. “I will attract more attention than sister Ester.”

“Ladies and gentelmen! What is happening is too unbelievable to be true, yet all of us have witnessed the five renowned gladiators use their berserker class skill to win the judgment by combat.”

“Yes, Egidio Faulkner. I haven’t seen this much coincidence since the last time when I saw a rigged gambling match.” Darwin mocked by stating the truth.

“Don’t be a sore loser, Marquis. There is no need to lie. The five gladiators were chosen specifically because each one of them had a trump card. I hope all of the audience will witness how powerful the best of the slaves’ money can by are.”

Darwin facepalmed at the statement. He found it ridiculous, and he also started to believe the representative did not know Darwin could use inspection and know what was unbelievable with the five gladiators.

[It looks like Darwin is trying to let the audience know the gladiators are acting strange.]

-It will not help much since no one can stop the judgment by combat to check on the gladiators.-

[Yeah... we need to split and continue fighting. It is going to be problematic since they have about twice our stats.]

[I suggest this plan...]

“Let’s start round two. Girls, I will now tell who the three of you need to fight based on the assessment Kazumi has just made.”
