Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A deathmatch was a battle where only one person could survive. Both parties had to be ruthless in order to ensure their survival.

“Besides, other than the officials of the tournament playing tricks, it’s impossible for a person who has won many matches in a row to be matched with another consecutive winner.”

The woman in bright clothes looked at the clone and waved her hand lightly.

“Are you ready?”

“Of course.”

The doppelganger nodded. Although he was not interested in betting from this angle, it was not bad to play with someone once in a while.

“Then let’s choose today’s people.”

The woman in colorful clothes reached out her hand. She pointed at the iron gates on both sides of the arena, where the Gladiators were about to enter the arena. The audience could observe the situation of the contestants through the iron gates and make deductions or bets.

But he was standing on the right. Behind the iron gates was a strong soldier holding a long shield and a long spear.

On the right was a very fat man holding a long saber that did not match him at all.

Judging from his appearance, it was obvious who would win and who would lose.

“How about it? Do you want to choose first?”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll choose the one on the right.”

The woman in bright clothes was a little surprised. According to the understanding of ordinary people, they would usually choose the strong man on the left instead of the one on the right.

‘Does this person really have some skill or is his brain damaged?’

‘Of course it can’t be that my brain is damaged. In ancient times, fierce generals relied on big waists. The one on the left might look very intimidating, but in fact, he might not have enough strength. The one on the right will definitely suppress his strength.’

“Then, has it been decided? You can’t go back on your words. I’ll choose the one on the left.”

The doppelganger nodded and tossed the gold coin in his hand again.

“If I win, you’ll give me ten gold coins. If I lose, I’ll give you ten gold coins. It’s as simple as that.”

Following the sound of the horn, the front door slowly opened. Both of their feet walked out from the darkness to the front of the crowd. The Gladiator on the left carried a long shield and spear and quickly rushed forward, charging straight at the fat Gladiator.

The fat Gladiator smiled lightly. He stood on the spot and waved the long saber in his hand. Then, he slashed at the muscular Gladiator on the left.

The long saber hit the long shield, making a muffled sound. A deep groove appeared on the long shield. The angle of the sword technique was to take advantage of this opportunity. The spear stabbed at the belly of the fat Gladiator.

“That’s it!”

The woman in bright clothes waved her arm. She could not wait for the fat man to be knocked down so that she could get the reward of 10 gold coins.

However, she was going to be disappointed. The fat Gladiator stretched out his arm and poked lightly with his elbow. The direction of the spear was instantly deflected and it stabbed into the side of the other Gladiator.

The fat man took this opportunity to swing his blade again, directly breaking the long shield.

The muscular Gladiator immediately released his grip on the long shield and retreated quickly.

Huah!

The fatty’s legs suddenly gave way, and he leaped into the air. Waving his long blade with both hands, he slashed down at the sturdy Gladiator.

The sturdy Gladiator immediately raised his spear to defend, but unfortunately, the difference in strength was not something he could imagine. The spear and the Gladiator were directly split into two halves.

“Woo-wah!”

The fatty felt like he was cheering for victory, and the audience stood up to cheer as well. They were not cheering for victory, but for this new battle.

The woman wearing bright clothes slowly disappeared. Just as she was about to leave, the doppelganger grabbed her wrist.

“Miss, if you’re tired from playing, you’ll get your retribution. You don’t want me to take off all your clothes and pawn them, right?”

‘D*mn it, I can’t believe I fell into the hands of an unknown guy. I’m so unlucky this time.’

The woman in beautiful clothes gave 10 gold coins to the doppelganger. It seemed that she was quite unwilling.

“You have to admit defeat, Miss.”

“I’m not a Miss. Remember, I’m the gambling saint: Selena, I’ve lost this time. I’ll definitely get back at you next time.”

“Then I’m really looking forward to it. After all, there aren’t many fun things like this.”

The doppelganger waved his hand and turned to walk away. He was a little hungry and wanted to find a restaurant to eat.

Seeing that he didn’t care so much, Selena clicked her tongue and turned to leave quickly.

Just as the doppelganger found a restaurant and was about to sit down for lunch, two guests were sitting not far from him and talking about something. The doppelganger with sensitive hearing immediately heard them.

“Hey, did you hear? The auction house seems to have gotten a very good white crystal that can engrave many magic arrays.”

“Is that so? Then wouldn’t there be a bloodbath tonight? This is too exciting. I haven’t seen it for a long time. Where did they get it?”

“You know that those people at the auction always know how to receive goods. They won’t even give us the address of the source of the goods.”

“Forget it, forget it. We can’t buy it anyway. Let’s buy a ticket to watch this immortal auction. By the way, what time is the auction?”

“It seems to be at 7 pm. I heard that all the bigwigs from all walks of life in Fenrade City will be here at that time.”

“We’ll be able to see another good show tonight.”

“It seems that the auction house has already spread the news. Let’s see if anyone will take the bait.”

While the doppelganger was thinking and eating, the Adventurers’ Association, the Magic Association, the Blacksmiths’ Association, and the church in Fenrade City began to make their own plans

“We adventurers have been weak for too long. We have to get this crystal this time!”

The President of the Adventurers’ Association slammed the table twice.

“But President, we don’t necessarily have the money of other associations and the church. Just the Blacksmiths’ Association alone might have higher assets than us, not to mention the church.”

“What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of those guys in white robes? Not to mention that we have something they need even more, a dead Dragon.”

“President! Isn’t that…”

The President of the Adventurers’ Association nodded his head fiercely.

“That’s right, that’s a real Dragon that was hunted with the strength of the entire Association.”

“We have already released all the things and distributed them to the adventurers who contributed, but Dragon meat, Dragon skin, and the Dragon internal organs are all very good materials for casting spells and forging weapons. As long as we make a slight move, they will have to kneel on the ground.”

The President of the Adventurers’ Association slammed the table hard.

“That’s why I said that we must get the crystal completely this time. We don’t need any external help.”

“After we get the white crystal, we can check and balance with the other three forces. We don’t have to look at other people’s faces anymore.. That’s it! Dismissed!”
