Chapter 154: This! Is! Sparta! No, Not Really.

Floid walked down the corridor leading to a private balcony in the large colosseum in the middle of Trad. According to what Raven told Floid, today was the day when the gladiator match would be held and Floid decided that it might be fun to see some gladiators kill each other in the fighting ring. It wasn't anything new to Floid since Floid was already used to death and fighting but he hasn't seen a gladiator match before and Floid decided that he wanted to see one for himself! Back on earth, there was no place where Floid could see something like this. The humans on earth protect lives so much that they even try to preserve the lives of criminals and terrorists by only putting them in prison. It was maddening.

Floid always thought that the humans from the history books he would read were far better than the humans that were alive in his time. Floid read about gladiator matches and spartan wars and he wondered if the people back then would be easier to get along with. Floid wanted to see if the humans in Trad were like the humans in the history books or not.

Floid walked with both Alucard and Dragonnel behind him. For the first time since Floid knew them, Floid was shocked to see the same expression on both their faces. They were both trying their best to hide it, but Floid could tell that they were not happy to be walking among humans. Both Dragonnel and Alucard frowned as they passed beside all the humans. Floid knew that if he allowed them to go on a rampage, those two monsters would kill every fucking person in this colosseum!

But Floid told the both of them not to do anything until he gives them the order. Floid didn't really enjoy being around humans either, but Floid also wanted to see this match. Floid was the sort of person who could hold back one of his desires for the sake of another desire. Floid decided to hold back his bloodthirsty nature for the time being so he could see this match.

"Ah, Master Floid. I see you made it safely,"

Raven walked up to Floid from down the hall and Floid rose a brow at Raven's words. It was almost like Raven was hoping that Floid wouldn't make it here in one piece. Raven had a lot of guards behind him and all of them were staring at Alucard and Dragonnel with deep frowns. Both Alucard and Dragonnel only gave the guards one glance before they both ignored the guards and turned away with disinterest.

"You brought quite a lot of guards with you. Did you bring them here to threaten me perhaps?"

There was a smile on Floid's face as he said this and Raven felt a cold chill travel from one end of his spine right down to the other end! Holy shit, what sort of smile is that!? Floid's teeth were pure white but he had long canines that made his smile look predatory! He looked like a wolf instead of a human! Raven immediately waved his hand in the negative!

"No! No! These aren't for that at all! T-They're just... Protection! They're protection for me since this pace is very dangerous! You never know what sort of people you can run into when you're in the gladiator pit so you have to bring as many guards with you as possible! If you don't -!!"

Raven suddenly stopped talking as Floid raised his hand calmly to tell him to stop. Raven had started to ramble and Floid was getting annoyed by Raven's voice. Raven noticed the slight irritation on Floid's face and Raven just smiled nervously. Maybe he shouldn't have spoken so much.

Floid just turned and started walking forward as he gave Raven a few last words.

"I don't care what your guards are for. But since they're here maybe you should let them attack me. It would be a shame for you to bring that many guards here without using them,"

Did he just tell me to attack him? Raven tried to wrap his head around this and he just sighed and scratched the back of his head. Floid wasn't someone that Raven could understand so Raven stopped trying to understand him a long time ago. The only things that Raven knew about Floid were that Floid wasn't a normal human and he was absurdly strong. Everything else was a mystery. Raven just hoped that his relationship with Floid would be good luck for him in the future. For some reason, Raven's instincts were telling him that it would be better to be on Floid's good side rather than his bad side.

Raven brought these guards here in case things in this gladiator pit got out of hand. The gladiators here have been known to be very disrespectful and annoying since they don't have anyone to keep them in check. They would usually cause trouble and hurt anyone that they don't like. These sorts of things are overlooked by the government because the gladiators that did the stupid things are usually the most successful gladiators that bring in the most money for the government. They are basically glorified politicians!

Raven knew that if Floid ever came face to face with one of those gladiators then things would escalate and every single person in this colosseum would be in deep shit. I need to at least protect myself long enough to get out of here if something like that happens. With these many guards, I should have a small chance to survive.

Raven rushed forward to catch up with Floid as he saw Floid walking into the VIP viewing room that Raven acquired for them. Three beautiful women were standing at the side of the balcony and they were holding trays of different drinks and food while waiting with a smile. Floid ignored all of them as he went and took a seat on the plush couch that was placed at the center of the room. The colosseum was far more impressive than Floid thought it would be. It was exceptionally large and there were more than fifty thousand people seated around the stands. They were all screaming and shouting like mad people and Floid couldn't help the small smile that came over his face when he saw them. Floid wasn't surprised by their excitement. He expected it. Humans tend to hold all their aggression and desires inside all the time, so when they finally release all that pent-up aggression, they become just like animals.

There was an announcement that the fight would be starting immediately and the crowd went even crazier as they all waited to see who the first fighters would be. The cages on either side of the gladiator ring opened and two fighters walked through. The first fighter was a nimble woman that had on full body armor that covered everything other than her head. She had blond hair that was cut into a short bob cut and there was a cut along her left eye that made her look like a seasoned veteran. Floid rose a brow once he saw her and he turned to Raven that was standing at his side.

"Who the hell is this?"

Raven grinned happily as he explained.

"That woman is one of the most entertaining fighters here. She has survived against many of the other gladiators! I'm sure you'll enjoy the battle!"

Floid hummed as he rest his cheek on his fist. He couldn't understand how this woman was one of the most talented fighters. Floid could sense the mana coming from the woman and it was pitiful. There was barely enough mana to make her an A-class! She wouldn't even be a match for a strong goblin with a good whacking stick!

But Floid would give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she uses physical and fighting skills instead of Mana. Floid looked to the other end of the arena and he saw that this time it was a man that walked out of the cage. The man was also wearing armor but the armor only covered his legs and his shoulders. There was no armor on his chest or his arms. Raven explained again that this man was also a crowd favorite. Apparently, he was a famous gladiator that managed to survive against many others.

Floid nodded and he just turned back to the fight. He could sense that the man had at least A-class Mana. This means that the man wasn't completely defenseless. The man might either have strong defensive magic or his attack magic was so good that he thinks he doesn't need any defenses. Either way, Floid just hoped they wouldn't disappoint him.

One of the beautiful women by the side came forward and she bent low beside Floid as she poured him a cup of wine. As she rose, she gave Floid a seductive smile that was meant to attract him. The women here were slaves that work in this gladiator ring. They have worked here for a long time but they weren't used to seeing someone as handsome as Floid in the VIP balconies. The men that usually come to the VIP balconies are either fat politicians or old men that were far past their prime. So the woman was trying to see if she could appeal to Floid. If she could gain his favor then it is possible that Floid would take her with him when he leaves.

She expected Floid to at least glance at her exposed cleavage, but Floid didn't even give her a single look! Instead, she felt someone grab her by the shoulder and she turned around to see Dragonnel looking down at her with a scowl.

The woman stumbled back at the amount of disgust in his eyes! It was like he was looking at trash on the side of the road! She didn't know if she even did anything wrong but at that moment she couldn't do anything else but apologize while bowing her head.

"I'm s-sorry!"

Dragonnel made a small space for her and she immediately speed-walked out of the balcony while sweating! Once she was gone, Dragonnel rolled his eyes. This is why he didn't want to come to this place. Humans are all the same and Dragonnel hated the way they start acting innocent once their plan is exposed. Especially female humans. Dragonnel loved women! He loved to fuck them as he loved to eat them! But human women were definitely the worst sort of people that Dragonnel has ever met in his lifetime!
