Though it took a while, the Microsoft Empire team finally grasped their opponent team’s strategy completely as they quickly started adjusting their formation in retaliation.
After understanding their motive, the Great defender quickly made some swift maneuvers and easily escaped Arthur’s grasp.
He charged forward, moving straight to where his captain fought with his shield steadily raised and held firmly.
Clark did not panic on seeing this, as they already predicted this in their calculations. There was no way that their opponents would leave their team Captain to fight the both of them, they were not that foolish.
He ignored the gradually advancing opponent, as he accompanied Mark in fighting the one that stood before them.
World dominator was completely calm despite the injuries that he already sustained, he waited patiently for his teammate’s reinforcement with a poker face.
It was an understatement to just say that he was angry. He
Thank you for reading this chapter, I really appreciate it.
Minutes later, the battle was still raging fiercely. The battlefield shook from the impact and vibrations as the 5 cadets utilized all their strength, skill, and experience in the last effort at victory. The World dominator showed why he was the captain, as he spearheaded his team’s offensive bravely. His 2 teammates supported his offensive from both flanks, increasing the pressure that their opponents felt. The effectiveness at which the Roman Empire’s small remaining team of 2 fought, showed that the A.I’s evaluation about their teamwork was not without basis. Despite fighting in a disadvantaged battle against 3 strong opponents and one of them being the dreaded World dominator, they showed why they received such huge evaluations in their team effectiveness. Both gladiators fought impeccably like a well-oil
Clark feebly climbed out of his nutrition cabin, as Mark came forward to support him. The mental exertion was still affecting him, his hands shook unsteadily. Despite 10 minutes already being gone, the stadium was still extremely noisy from the excited cheers of the spectators. They kept on chanting World dominator’s name excitedly, as he already established himself as a gladiator legend in the Seafarers alliance’s arena. After noticing that all the gladiators were out of their cabins, a replay of the final moments of the battle was finally displayed to both the spectators and the gladiators. The stadium quieted down, as sound dampeners were activated to tame the noise. Despite his current feeble appearance, Clark was still able to capture what was being shown on the display. He clenched his fists as he saw himself being impaled on the chest by his opponent’s sword. His expression kept on fluctuating, as Mark slowly patted him on his back.
Sonia slowly brushed her dark hair, as it tumbled in a cascade down her back. She looked at her reflection from the mirror, prompting a soft smile to slowly outline her face. Her fair skin, in conjunction with the dark suit that she wore painted a very beautiful sight. With her smooth but finely chiseled face, she looked just like the models who appeared in magazines in the 21st century. She looked more mature and refined compared to a few years ago, she now had the womanly vibe. The only thing lacking in the picture reflecting from the mirror was a man to wrap her in a hug. On thinking of this, her smile dampened a bit as it quickly turned strained. It was already about 3 years since she got separated from Clark. Thinking of how he was probably suffering from unimaginable things alone in the sea, made her cry in fear for his safety at times. She was already 21 this year. Thinking of the fact that a man she met for just a few months completely
Sonia did not have much to arrange, she just came back to get some of the essential things that she could not leave behind. As she arranged, her mind could not help but drift again to a frail-looking imagination of her mom. At this age where medical technology already advanced so enormously, her being called for indicated how serious her mom’s situation was. There was no way it was a normal illness, which only made her more anxious. “What is so serious that I had to be called for?” She questioned herself again doubtfully. It didn’t take too long before she was finally ready, as she turned around to go. She changed from her old suit into a new suit that she got recently, to present herself in a fresh outlook. Not long later, she finally arrived back at the parade ground. She was not surprised to still see the summoned horde of soldiers all standing at their positions in attention. There was no way these guys would leave their positions until or
The large fleet of vehicles slowly coming into the compound surprised the now freed gladiators, but they suppressed their curiosity and went forward to meet the General. “Good evening, general”. They all greeted respectfully. “Haha, that’s my soldiers”. The General responded with a loud laugh that was unusual for someone of his status, as he went forward to pat them on the shoulders. “Congrats, you did not disappoint my expectations. Though you guys failed to take the 1st place, taking the 3rd place spot is already commendable”. “My Captain already told you guys some time ago that we would not shy in terms of rewards if you win the tournament of your ranks, we intend to keep our word”. “You taking 3rd place can be seen as you winning to us, so today, I’ll present to you the awards that we prepared for you”. The Roman Captain finally came forward and placed an exotic metal box before his General. He opened the box quickly, as a click so
The days moved forward just like chess pieces that were being randomly shifted by a chess player. After months of preparation battles, the date for the finals of the individual tournament was finally scheduled. After the end of the team tournament, the gladiators in the teams who won were already eligible to take their awards. Despite this, they don’t get it immediately as the Seafarers alliance extends the award ceremony to the week after the end of the individual battle finals. Some gladiators won in the team tournament with their teams, but they died unfortunately in the individual tournament. The alliance was not ready to give awards to ghosts, even with their near-infinite wealth. So, the award ceremony commences only after the whole gladiator tournament ends. … Bam!! Clark’s spear stabbed forward in quick succession, as his opponent hastily raised his spear to parry the strike. His hand blurred, as the stab was quickly converted
Today is the d-day, the day that will determine who the strongest gladiator from this tournament was. Today is the day that will justify all the bloodshed and deaths throughout the past year, in the gladiator arena. Clark entered the gladiator armory in a solemn mood, as he went forward to where the weapons were kept. On seeing the empty, grey-colored cold chamber, he could not help but feel a sense of emptiness. For weeks now, he had been training to get to the required level to win this battle. He did not know why he was anticipating it, but he felt that he would benefit a lot if he emerged as the winner of this battle. Though his thoughts were numerous, they quickly cleared up as he advanced to the spear section of the armory. He stood before the large row of spears, before falling into a daze. Spears spread for as far as his eyes could see. From short spears to long spears, to broad, to thin spears, every type of spear was available. His h
The huge energy shield covering the arena slowly opened up, as the 2 fighting gladiators entered without hesitation. World dominator slowly took off his helmet, as he faced his opponent with a curious smile on his face. Unlike his opponent’s solemn expression, his was the complete opposite, he had a calm look on his face. “Magician, you surprised me yet again. I don’t know who gave you the guts to come to fight me with such impunity, but I can promise you that you’ll regret it”. He slowly said with a smile. Clark didn’t reply, as his blood was already feeling hot for this battle. He had no time nor luxury to reply to foolish questions. He didn’t come here to discuss, at least he didn’t have that luxury like his opponent. He had an uphill and almost impossible target to overcome, he was ready to put his all. “Cut the crap, you’ll soon know who gave me the guts to come. Bring it on”. He said with a ferocious grin as he picked up speed, rapidly a
