Chapter 215 Devil Arena

Roger has been to a lot of places.

Asgard, Void, Xandar, Hara, Muspelheim...

But even so, when he came to this devil city named "Howl of Pain", he still had an eye-opening feeling.

Not to mention all kinds of strange devils in the city, the buildings in the city alone have the style of hell devils.

First of all, these buildings are extremely neatly arranged, just like the chessboard of Go, which is neatly divided.

Then, the style of these buildings...

Well, how should I put it...

The buildings here clearly come from many different civilizations.

It is relatively ordinary, similar to the houses in the Middle Ages in Europe on Earth.

In addition, there are high-rise buildings that clearly belong to the modern city.

If the architectural style on the earth is relatively normal, then these buildings that Roger can't name are very different.

There are not only the architectural styles of the technologically advanced alien civilizations of Xandar and Hara, but also various houses that are randomly pieced together in the land of ignorance.

If you have to describe it, it is like a hodgepodge city that combines the architectural styles of various civilizations.

But what's interesting is that even this hodgepodge of architectural styles is still neatly planned by the devils.

When he first flew to the city gate, Roger met two devils who tried to charge him a fee to enter the city.

However, he didn't say anything, just let out his aura casually, and the two devils who were in charge of guarding the city gate let him in.

Although he doesn't have any money now, Roger doesn't think this will be a problem.

After wandering around the city, he quickly found a way to "make money".

The way he chose to make money was none other than participating in wrestling.

Although the devil is not human, but the hobbies that humans have, the devil will basically have.

For example, boxing and fighting competitions in the human world have turned into life-and-death gambling in hell.

Want to get a lot of soul coins?

Want to be promoted to a high-level devil?

Fancy a hearty melee combat with the most alluring erinia?
Welcome to the bloody yellow sand arena!
No matter what level of devil you are, no matter what kind of talent you have...

As long as you want to come, you are welcome to the Blood and Yellow Sand Arena.

Looking at the arena flyer in his hand, Roger felt that he seemed to be starting to like it a little bit.

While wandering around the city just now, he discovered a small problem.

Wherever he appears, there will be many devils saluting him.

At the beginning, he thought it was the traditional virtue of the devil, after all, the devil is a race that pursues order and organization.

However, when he saw a few devils with sword blades killing a little devil in the street, and eating that unlucky guy without any scruples in the street, he knew that devils don't really care about virtue.

After seeing that scene, he checked his own situation and found out the problem.

The reason why those devils who met him showed such respect was because he did not restrain his own devil power at all, and unscrupulously released his aura as a superior devil.

After feeling his aura that only high-level devils can have, those ordinary devils will of course show incomparable politeness and respect.

After discovering this, he had no intention of restraining his aura.

Devils are a very real race.

In hell, modesty and restraint will only cause yourself to experience some unnecessary troubles.

If you want to get nourished in hell, the best way is to fully demonstrate your strength.

Only when you show your own strength, those devils who are full of evil will come to trouble you.

"How do I sign up for this?"

Roger said to the little devil in front of him.

In front of him was a common little devil among the lower devils.

These little devils don't have any particularly powerful abilities, and they are like miscellaneous fish in hell.

These imps are basically useless except for trivial tasks.

"My lord, you are a high-ranking devil. As long as you sign your name, you can directly participate in the competition, and you don't need to pay any registration fees."

Only his knee-high little devil said flatteringly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Roger raised his right foot, kicked the little devil's head like lightning, and trampled him firmly under his feet.

"Knowing that I am a high-level devil, you still dare to play tricks with me. It seems that you are tired of working!"

After finishing speaking, Roger stepped on the little devil's head like a watermelon with light force.

The bright red blood and white brains immediately scattered in all directions.

"You explain it!"

Without changing his face, Roger pointed to another little devil and said.

"My lord, if you want to participate in the competition, just go there!"

The little devil who was questioned didn't even look at his companion on the ground, and immediately replied.

"Very well, lead the way!" Roger said lightly.

Led by this little devil, Roger soon came to the arena named "Blood and Yellow Sand".

From the appearance point of view, this arena is quite a bit like the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

It's just that what's going on inside is not a fight between humans and beasts, but a fight between devils and devils.

Of course, if you are lucky, there will also be some gladiators from the main world.

The main world, also known as the human world.

Of course, this world does not only refer to the world where Roger is, but also includes other multiverses.

According to the ancient texts in the Kama Taj, hell is an other dimension connected to the multiverse.

If the ability is sufficient, hell can be used as a transit point to travel from hell to other universes.

However, to achieve this, not only strong strength is required, but also detailed coordinates are required.

Otherwise, other universes may have died in the terrifying dimensional turbulence before they arrived.

After coming to the arena, Roger, led by the little devil, found the gargoyle who was in charge of registering the gladiators.

When the gargoyle asked about his name, Roger thought about it for a while, and then gave himself a name that he thought was not bad.

"Blue Fire Gatling!"

Roger said his name blankly.

"Okay, Mr. Gatling, the arrangement has been made for you here. You can wait in the rest area first, or go directly to the auditorium to wait."

"After the host reports your name, you can directly participate in the competition."

Like Roger, the gargoyle in charge of registration said with a blank expression.

Gargoyles are also lower level devils in hell, but compared with little devils, gargoyles are slightly higher in rank.

King, lord, upper, middle, and lower, this is just a rough division of ranks.

Within the same rank, there are also different ranks due to different races.

Devils are not so much a race as a species.

Among the devils, even in the same big rank, there are many different races.

When the gargoyle finished speaking, Roger did not leave immediately, and then asked: "If I win, how many soul coins can I get?"

"My lord, you are a high-ranking devil, and you can only participate in free gladiator fights. If you win, everything the opponent has is yours. How many soul coins you can have depends on how much the opponent has."

The gargoyle remained expressionless and said quickly.

Roger didn't care about the attitude of the gargoyle in front of him, and nodded silently.

For a gargoyle, an expressionless face is his normal state.

You can't ask a stone statue to have rich facial expressions, which is too much for the race of stone ghosts.

Roger didn't go to the exclusive rest area for free gladiators, but went straight to the auditorium.

Before the gladiatorial fight started, he planned to enjoy the devil's gladiatorial fight first.

Normally, if you come to the arena to enjoy the gladiatorial fights, even if you don't place a bet, you still have to pay a certain entrance fee.

However, Roger, who is a high-level devil, obviously does not need to pay the fee.

This is the same as he does not need to pay the entrance fee to enter the city.

After finding a fairly empty place to sit down, Roger began to admire the devils fighting in the arena.

Now fighting in the arena is a Needle Demon and a Barbed Demon.

A needled devil is a devil covered in spikes.

The barbed devil is a devil with a machete and barbs on its claws.

Like the imp, the gargoyle, the needle and barb are lower devils.

However, their status in hell is obviously higher than the former two.

In terms of strength, the Needle Demon and the Barb Demon belong to the backbone of the lower devils, and they are also the main members of the troops of various devil lords.

Or rather, the most basic members.

Although the strength of the lower devils is not very strong, the number of lower devils far exceeds other devils.

It can be said that 90.00% of the devils in hell are lower devils.

The median number of devils is relatively small, probably only about [-]%.

As for the upper devil, it is only about one percent.

In terms of rank, the upper-level devils are considered nobles in the absolute sense of hell.

But compared with the devil lord, the upper devil is nothing.

Out of a thousand high-ranking devils, one devil lord might be born.

And this is still possible, if one is unlucky, it will take thousands or even tens of thousands of high-ranking devils to give birth to a devil lord.

As for the unique absolute ruler among the devils, Mephisto, the lord of hell, there is only one existence in the entire hell.

As long as Mephisto is not dead, it is impossible to give birth to a new hell lord.

Although the battle between the Needle Demon and the Barbed Demon was bloody and violent, Roger lost interest after just a few casual glances.

How should I put it, the Needle Demon and the Barb Demon, who are currently fighting in the arena, are fighting instinctively without any rules at all.

And Roger, who was watching from the audience, soon discovered another problem.

In the form of the real devil, he has three pairs of bat wings and a tail.

He has no problems standing, walking, or flying.

But once he sat down, he found it uncomfortable no matter how he sat.

Not to mention the three pairs of bat wings, it feels like carrying a big backpack.

The main reason is that the tail is like a spear, no matter how you put it, you are not used to it.

Roger was now beginning to understand why the kittens and dogs were chasing their tails or out of control.

Creatures with tails like cats and dogs couldn't flexibly control their tails when they were young, let alone Roger, a human being who was born without a tail.

After sighing, Roger made a helpless movement.

He manipulated his tail, wrapping it around his waist like a belt.

As for the three pairs of bat wings, they stretched out slightly, as if they were lying on the back of a soft sofa.

After adjusting his posture, he finally felt less awkward.

It didn't take long for the gladiatorial fight in the arena to decide the outcome.

The one who was victorious was the Barbed Demon. The barb in his hand pierced the Needle Demon's eye, and then he yanked.

After winning, the barbed demon excitedly gestured to the devil in the audience, announcing his victory.

At the same time, there were cheers and curses in the auditorium at the same time.

Those who cheered were naturally those devils who had bet on victory.

As for those who scolded, you don't need to ask to know that they lost the bet.

Roger had thought it would be the free gladiator's turn soon.

As a result, after watching five beast-like devil wrestling in the auditorium, he finally heard the host call out his name.

Ignoring the host's introduction, Roger stood up, stretched his limbs, flapped his wings, and flew directly to the arena.

As soon as he landed in the arena, he heard a loud cheer from the demons in the audience.

High-rank devils are much rarer than mid-rank and low-rank devils.

Even if "Blood and Yellow Sand" is the largest arena in the city, there won't be many gladiatorial fights of this level in a month.

Roger is quite lucky, otherwise, with his rank, he might have to wait for half a month before he can get the gladiator he wants.

After arriving at the arena, maybe it was because of the cheers that Roger suddenly felt an obvious desire to kill.

After suppressing the desire to kill in his heart, he turned to look at his opponent this time.

He is a free gladiator, and of course his opponent is also a free gladiator.

Boom, boom, boom...

Dull footsteps came from the corridor, and it didn't take long for Roger to see clearly what his opponent this time looked like.

This is... the Balrog?
Looking at the flowing bright red magma and the tall and mighty body of the opponent, the killing desire that Roger had just suppressed surged out again.

Balrog can be said to be a famous high-ranking devil in hell.

Even in the main world, there are many legends about the Balrog.

As soon as the Balrog walked out of the tunnel, a strong heat wave rushed towards him.

Although they are all in real form, Balrog's body is taller and stronger than Roger's by more than 01:30.

Even with the sharp horns on his forehead, Roger's height is only a little over two meters.

And the Balrog in front of him was about nine meters tall alone.

Not to mention the limbs thicker than his waist and the magma flowing all over his body.
