Chapter 242: Let the Fight Begin

After Kahn revealed his intentions, there was no other choice left for Sirius but to accept his new employer's commands and sign a blood-bind contract with him on the spot.

Kahn then revealed his plans about what to do when they entered the arena and his own matches started.

One of the main reasons Kahn decided to participate was also to earn billions through the competition. Because even now, their forces and influence such as Bloodborne company or the Seven Deadly Sins underworld organization were powerful only inside one district.

And even there, they were lacking manpower and funds in case a full-scale war broke out in the future with powerful opposition or some noble clan.

Raising and feeding an army of their own wouldn't happen overnight and the amount of money as well as resources they'd have to spend would be manyfold greater than they currently had.

So instead of waiting for years to build their wealth, one of his main objectives was to use this competition and take a huge leap that would possibly save him decades of time and hard work.

He desperately needed funds and resources to the extent that they could rival one of the top clans in the capital. Otherwise, there was no guarantee that what they had now would be taken by someone more powerful and influential than them.

"How much did you bring?" asked Kahn to Ronin.

"15." replied Ronin.

"Please don't mind me.. But do you mean 15 million by any chance?" asked Sirius.

SMIRK

All three men in front of the orc gave a light smirk.

Gasp!

Sirius gasped in surprise..

"Hundred and fifty million?.. You're so rich!" exclaimed Sirius wide his mouth wide open.

"Aissshh.. This guy really looks down on us." rebuked Omega.

Ronin rolled his eyes in irritation and responded quickly.

"I mean..."

PETRIFIED

Sirius.exe stopped working at that moment and the middle-aged orc fainted on the spot as soon as Ronin told him the exact amount.

"Arrr… Was it too much to handle for him?" questioned Omega.

"We should've stuck with 15 million.." sighed Kahn as they carried on their travel.

While Sirius was unconscious, Kahn explained why he chose Sirius to work for him.

Both the subordinates nodded in approval after hearing the reasoning from their master who always liked to plan two steps ahead.

As soon as they reached the 10 kilometer vicinity of the battle arena that was surrounded by thousands of soldiers and more than a million people heading towards it, Kahn and the company left their vehicle to a security station and gave money to keep their ride safe.

Sirius woke up by then and the four individuals mixed in the crowd as they headed towards the battle arena.

Just from what Kahn could see from afar, the battle arena itself was 2 kilometers wide and 3 kilometers long.

There were 5 levels of platforms, hosting over a million seats for the audiences. And many flying ships that were part of the security forces hovered in the sky. While troops of thousands of soldiers managed the crowd at various checkpoints throughout the path.

And this was just one side of the entrance to the battle arena. Kahn didn't dare imagine the crowd on the other three sides.

After an hour of standing in the line, the group finally entered through one of the doors they finally saw the vastness of this place.

In comparison, this battle arena seemed 10 times bigger than a football field and there were multiple projection screens all over the arena, showing different battlegrounds which were 20 meters in length and width.

And from their position, he could see more than 600 of such battle rings which were magically reinforced with artifacts and formations.

"Take your sides and you know what to do next." ordered Kahn and left the trio behind him as he headed towards the hall made for facilitating the warriors who were taking part in this competition.

Since anyone could take part in this competition as long as they were certified as someone of a Beginner rank individual, Kahn could already see thousands of people varying from different races and species swarming inside the halls made for participants.

Kahn entered the hall for fighters in this section of the arena and showed his registration token that he got over a week ago.

"You're number 3,39,470. Wait for a few hours till your turn. Read the rules first.

If you don't appear on time, you will be disqualified." informed the receptionist.

Kahn then sat on a vacant chair and turned his gaze towards the betting booths.

Setting your bets was allowed at hundreds of booths placed over in hundreds of sections that divide the audience coming from different exits.

The rules were simple. For each match, there was 5 minutes time limit given to both contestants and one had to bring down their opponent by either fighting them to the point they would either get thrown out of the arena or you land a decisive blow.

A participant could also forfeit a match in case they felt danger to their life and willingly gave up based on the strength of their opponent.

The contestants could also put the opponent in submission and win the match just like a proper duel.

Since these battles were done with real weapons and skills, there was a rule to not kill the opponent.

Even injuries done to the opponent shouldn't be fatal or you will be imprisoned for attempted murder.

From the history records, only the semifinals had matches that allowed killing the opponent. But this was just the first round so things needed to be done without bloodshed.

One by one, matches started and over 1 to 2 thousand people were fighting on hundreds of magically reinforced platforms at once and their matches finished quickly.

Even their second rounds were done swiftly and the winners were given new tokens and their names were displayed on the projection screens floating throughout the arena.

After 4 hours of wait, Kahn's turn finally came and he walked on a floating platform that was used to deliver the fighters to their assigned battlegrounds based on the registration number.

When Kahn entered his assigned battleground, he was donned in a unique black archer gear, waiting for his opponent to show.

At this moment, Kahn telepathically commanded the subordinates and used a transmission artifact to inform Sirius to begin their first move.

A referee appeared on their stage and so did Kahn's opponent.

The referee had no time to waste and spoke hurriedly as the two participants glared at each other, trying to gauge the enemy's strength.

"Let the fight begin!"
