Chapter 472 - The Arena
"Yes! Come on, let's go before all the front seats are taken," Void said happily before taking the lead.
Grey followed behind. Since coming 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, accompanied 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.
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, welcome. 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 come. 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.
