Chapter 1313 - Chapter 1313 Chapter 1313 Gods Punishment Lock

Chapter 1313: Chapter 1313: God’s Punishment Lock Chapter 1313: Chapter 1313: God’s Punishment Lock Li Yao was pondering the rules of the Fallen Elves Gladiator Arena during his transfer. Essentially, the championship of the Gladiator Arena was held every six months, which meant that each month there would be a monthly champion, and the six champions from those months would compete for the title of Gladiator King, with the winner gaining freedom.

The Gladiator Arena was brutally harsh–each monthly champion had to defeat at least a hundred opponents to claim the title.

For each victory, one would earn a number, starting at 1. Defeating an opponent would increase it to 2, and so on up to 100.

At first glance, it seemed simple–just defeat a hundred people. But what if there were weaker opponents?

That was practically impossible, because one could only increase their number by defeating an opponent with the same or a higher number.

For example, if your number was 2, you could only increase it if you defeated someone numbered 2 or higher. Winning against someone with the number 1 wouldn’t count as a valid match.

Just imagine, it appeared each person just went through a hundred fights, but many lives were sacrificed in the process.

99 fighting against 99, both having defeated ninety-nine opponents each. But in the match before, it was four individuals each having defeated ninety-eight. Going further back, the monthly champion was actually built on the skeletons and blood of countless people.

Thus, this caused the Gladiator Arena to be incredibly popular, fights happening nonstop day and night. Of course, the arena was only open in the afternoon for two days a year, during the Gladiator King competition.

The six monthly champions vied for the title of Gladiator King. The victor could gain their freedom among other rewards. Indeed, just the word “freedom” was enough to draw in these slaves.

Li Yao was just brought near the Gladiator Arena when he was startled by deafening cheers and shouts. “Damn, is it necessary to get this excited?” he thought, as countless people roared madly. In fact, Li Yao didn’t know that the atmosphere at their guild’s Gladiator Arena was just as intense.

Soon, he was led through an underground passage, and through the transparent Spider Silk, Li Yao could see two people fighting in the arena. The arena had traps, mechanisms, and several huge Stone Columns, which emitted a soft glow that illuminated the entire arena. Above the arena, a Spider King’s Barrier was evidently in place to prevent any chance of escape for the gladiators. It was needless to know how tough these Spider King Barriers were.

“Hey, you can’t breach the sacred covenant, how can you let such a weak guy participate in such a sacred fight?” A Goblin administrator complained.

“Damn dwarf, it’s the order of the High Priest,” the lead figure in a black robe said.

“You can insult me, but not the covenant, we had an agreement…”

The man in the black robe sneered, “This is the will of God, and this person has passed the Divine Guardian trial–the sole survivor out of fifty million slaughtered, hehe, compared to your so-called Duel Kings.”

“My God, how is that possible?” The Goblin’s eyes shone, “I’ve been saying let a Divine Guard participate in duels, and now it’s finally happening–I’m going to make a fortune. But wait, the Divine Guard is too strong, can I…”

“You see,” the man in the black robe laughed, “to make sure nothing goes wrong, we used the highest level of God’s Silk Thread. If released, we might all be slaughtered; no one should underestimate him. Thus, the High Priest specifically allowed you to use two God’s Punishment Locks.”

“OK, this way we can see an exciting fight, not just a one-sided slaughter, and we can make a lot of money,” the Goblin carefully picked up two claw-like objects from the shelf next to him and directly fastened them onto Li Yao’s shoulders.

Li Yao’s expression changed as his attributes had been suppressed to the level of a junior leader.

“Hehe, then let’s wait and watch the show,” a few people in black robes went out, summoned the sealed Spider Silk with a wave of their hand, and took away Li Yao’s God’s Silk Thread.

The Goblin clapped his hands to attract Li Yao’s attention, “Young man, don’t think about escaping. This Gladiator Arena is built with divine power from a goddess. Unless you’re a demigod, you’ll never get out. Just accept your fate.”

“Let me explain simply. God’s Punishment Lock, each lock can suppress certain attributes. You now have two locks, suppressing your three major attributes of attack, defense, and life to the level of a junior leader, but your strength and agility won’t be much affected.”

The Goblin pointed outside, “See those guys out there? They also have locks, but theirs are God Grace Locks, the opposite of yours. Each one within the range of the Gladiator Arena can enhance attributes, aiming to elevate the battle of the Gladiator Arena king to infinitely close to the camp level.”

Li Yao had already activated his Divine Eye. The Gladiator Arena was filled with powerful Magic Formation Barriers, sealing away his thoughts of escaping and forcing him to continue fighting. As long as there was a glimmer of hope for freedom, he wasn’t willing to lose what he had acquired.

The only relief for Li Yao was that the two people in the Gladiator Arena with the God Grace Lock, although their aura and attributes were close to the camp level, were still far from the actual camp level. If it really were a camp-level battle, facing such experienced opponents in battle, with attribute domination, he estimated he would also be crushed to death.

After all, his attributes were suppressed to the level of a junior leader and if the attack gap was too big, no amount of defense power and agility would help.

Although it was just a quick glance, Li Yao could see that those vying for the Gladiator Arena king monthly champion had quite good fighting qualities, not something he could easily overpower.

“I’m curious, how did you offend the High Priest that he would toy with you like this?” The Goblin didn’t wait for Li Yao to reply, he continued: “If you want to survive, it’s simple, continuously win against the remaining five monthly champions. It’s one thing if it were your original state, but you also have to wear God’s Punishment Lock, this hastens their increase and prolongs yours, hehe.”

Li Yao smirked slightly, not really minding, it was just five fights.

“It seems you are quite confident. I know how formidable you became as a Divine Guard in high-elf state, you surely have your own methods. But look, can you still use your weapons?” The Goblin watched Li Yao with glee.

Li Yao’s expression changed. It was only then that he realized he could not summon his pets anymore. This was one thing, but more critically, he found that the Frame Space of his backpack, even the Star Bow on the back of his hand, could not be summoned.

“There is a weapons rack at the edge of the Gladiator Arena. You can choose what suits you, that’s the rule. I hope you win, my friend.” The Goblin walked out of the spider web with schadenfreude.

For Li Yao, the spider web was like a wall, but it did not hinder the Goblin in the slightest. In the middle of the arena, a barbarian swung the Wolf Fang Club, hitting a sturdy Orc who fell to the ground.

The barbarian threw away the Wolf Fang Club, then grabbed the Orc’s head with both hands, and with a crunch, he yanked the Orc’s head off, along with a crazy spray of blood and the wild cheers from the crowd, the barbarian raised the Orc’s head high…
