And please check out the afterword!!!
“UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!”
An exceptionally loud cheer is directed at the woman who appeared from the opposite door.
The strongest gladiator in the Colosseum, with black panther-like eyes, a supple body, and tanned skin.
–It’s Despina Nomades.
“So, you’re not running away after all.”
“Don’t make me say it again. I will defeat you and seize what comes next.”
I spat out those words to Despina, who spoke with a hint of sadness.
I don’t know why she wants to avoid fighting me, but since this is the only way for me to survive, I have no other choice.
I can’t help but sympathize with Despina’s situation, but I’m too preoccupied with my own problems.
“Well, whatever. I’ll at least make sure it ends quickly, so you don’t suffer too much.”
“Try it if you can.”
I raised my shield, and Despina drew her sword.
It’s okay… I can definitely do it.
So, believe in yourself… I told myself.
“That is…!”
My eyes were glued to the crimson-eyed woman standing at the very top of the audience seats behind Despina… behind her!
Because… because.
–It’s my ultimate favorite wife, Alexandra of Chevalier.
She seemed to notice my gaze, and Sandra took a step as if to rush into the arena.
But.
“…………………. (shakes head)”
‘Don’t come here,’ I mouthed, shaking my head while looking at her.
My match with Despina hasn’t even started, let alone finished.
At least until this match is over, I want you to watch.
The new power I’ve acquired in these forty days we haven’t been able to meet.
“…What are you doing?”
“Huh? Ah, no, it’s nothing.”
I noticed Despina looking at me suspiciously, and I hurriedly brushed it off.
Sandra must have come to rescue me. It would be bad if the Colosseum guys noticed her here.
More importantly, the big rampage is for after the match.
And then.
“Begin!”
“Tch!”
At the same time as the referee’s starting signal, Despina kicked off the ground and closed in on me.
As she declared, to finish me off quickly.
But.
“Too slow.”
“What!?”
She probably jumped to the left to strike from a blind spot, but she can’t escape my sight.
Besides, she only unleashed a normal attack, probably as a test. If it’s not a Skill Attack, there’s no need to worry about receiving a Lightning Attribute attack.
In that case, there’s no reason why I can’t defend against Despina’s attack, who is slower than Sandra.
“I see… you can easily defend against my first attack like that. The story that you’ve been breaking the spirits of your gladiator opponents with just defense isn’t a lie, huh?”
“No, what’s that story? It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”
I mean, when did I ever break the spirits of my opponents? This is slander.
“Well, whatever. I wonder if you’ll say the same after taking this attack.”
“What!?”
Despina’s body, her sword, began to crackle with electricity.
It’s only the beginning of the match, and she’s already planning to use a Skill Attack?
…Well, whatever.
It’s the perfect opportunity to see the culmination of my efforts over these forty days.
I’ll see through all of Despina’s attacks!
“Prepare yourself. Hexagram Lightning!”
Despina, with her body lowered, runs around the arena, covered in electricity, drawing a hexagram.
When that brilliance intersects with me, the target.
“What!? Why!?”
I dodged her attack by a hair’s breadth.
But, my reaction was still too slow. I need to see Despina’s movements more clearly and predict them accurately.
Otherwise, I won’t survive.
“I-It was just a fluke! I won’t miss next time!”
Despina, regaining her composure, turned sharply and approached me again.
Not yet… not yet……………… Ah.
“How!? Why!?”
Despina’s eyes widened in surprise.
Even though she was moving at super speed, I captured everything, her expression, even the slightest movement, as if it were a frame-by-frame film.
At that moment, one of my useless eight skills turned around.
What appeared was.
–Clairvoyance.
I certainly think I’ve honed my sixth sense, or something like that, but I never thought the skill itself would change.
It’s true that Harold is an existence prepared by the creator as an anti-Themis existence, and he has skills that would be impossible in EnHaza, but what does this mean? Someone explain it to me.
I was in the midst of utter confusion, but that was only for a moment.
“You may have thought you caught me off guard, but it’s useless.”
“Wh-!?”
Despina, who had circled behind me while I was deep in thought, charged at me, but I easily dodged it.
I mean, having vision in all directions, no matter where I’m facing, is amazing but a strange feeling.
“Come on, what’s wrong? Your sword hasn’t even grazed me.”
“Don’t underestimate meeeeeee!”
Despina, provoked by my beckoning and taunting, increased her speed even further and unleashed attacks that were too fast to see.
I just kept dodging them all.
