Returner of the Colosseum

Episode 39 . Dawn of Blood (3)

In this world, there are beings who are born with a destiny.

Instead of having abilities superior to others, they live with that fate.

High Elf.

A being that stands at the pinnacle of all elves.

The guardian of the elves, of which only five exist.

Arwen Ceresspiro was born with such a destiny.

“Arwen, my daughter. You are the treasure of our elves.”

And Arwen was more special among those high elves.

“You can summon the Spirit King!”

“The Contractor of the King of Spirits who appeared after 5,000 years!”

All elves are born with a natural affinity.

So the spirits were soulmates that could not be separated from the elves.

Nevertheless, the existence of the Spirit King was not something anyone could summon.

Because it was a transcendent existence comparable to the dragon called the mediator of the middle world.

“Look, Arwen. Isn’t it amazing? In this world, everyone lives in balance. We elves must not forget that we are also part of nature.”

“Feel it. The coolness of the wind, the warmth of fire, the purity of water, and the hardness of the earth. This is a precious home we must protect.”

The world of elves, which is quiet and full of life.

The mother of life, the gigantic World Tree, generously distributed shelter, food, shade, and drink to the elves.

Arwen was grateful for that dedication and vowed to protect it no matter what.

Then one day.

The flames of war clouds blew in the peaceful forest.

The land of humans going to waste.

When they ran out of food, they attacked the rich elven lands.

“Wind Spirit! Show them the fierceness of the wind according to your contract with me!”

“Don’t back down! Shield soldier! Get ready for magic! The number of elves was at most 100,000. we can win! Think of the starving wives and children at home!”

A 10-year war that began like that.

The majority of humans were weaker than the elves, but a very small number of strong humans were a problem.

They swept through the elves, brandishing their glittering swords.

“Arwen, my daughter. You’ll have to deal with those people. I am sorry for putting too much burden on you.”

“No, Father. Leave it to me.”

Arwen was just 200 years old, and by the standards of the elves, she had just become an adult, but she threw herself into the fiercest place in the war.

No human being could stop her.

Thanks to her innate spirit affinity, she was able to summon even the highest level spirits.

“It’s a witch!”

“The incarnation of the Spirit King has appeared. Everyone retreat!”

Participating in the fiercest battles on the frontlines, she killed all the seemingly strong humans.

None of the strong humans imprinted on her survived.

Even so, the war was being pushed back little by little by humans.

“The daughter of the king of the Huin tribe, who participated in the war as a companion, is said to have died…”

“Even the high elf, Gaen-nim, fell to the swords of humans…”

“The forest, the forest is burning! A forest!”

“Humans are approaching right in front of the World Tree!”

Not only the elves, but also the tiger tribes, dwarves, roman tribes, and myoin tribes that had coexisted together in the forest all fought against the humans, but the fire of war engulfed them all.

And as time passed, the expression on Arwen’s face slowly disappeared.

at last.

After 10 years of great war, at the end of it, only Arwen was left.

“Whoops, I was waiting for you to summon the Spirit King. As expected, I thought it would take a lot of mana to summon such a transcendent being.”

“It’s no big deal because the incarnation of the King of Spirits doesn’t have mana either. If you wiggle that plump butt and play tricks, you might be able to save it. How about you, do you want to play tricks?”

But unfortunately, there were still too many humans.

The end of the Great War was, after all, the defeat of the elves.

Trees cut down randomly. burning forest. A pond full of the smell of blood. And dirty humans stepping on it.

‘If I were to be reborn, I would definitely kill all of you humans.’

Arwen gathered the remaining mana and summoned the lowest level wind spirit.

And he cast his last spell before he was alive.

squeak-

The blade of the wind cut Arwen’s throat neatly.

Rather than surviving and being humiliated by humans, he chose death.

Arwen, who spent the end of his life in such a fierce war, went to rest with resentment.

but.

[If you become the champion of the Colosseum, one wish will come true.]

[Do you want to enter the Colosseum?]

She still had a chance.

That’s how the Colosseum came in.

It was full of people she hated.

However, strong people did not exist.

Perhaps because of the aftermath of the Ten Years’ War, Arwen instinctively sought only strong humans.

The first game I faced while adjusting to the new team.

Arwen summoned the highest quality water spirit and hacked all the humans in the arena to pieces.

[First Achievement!]

[For the first time since the beginning of the bloody encroachment in the Colosseum, I single-handedly killed all the players.]

[I received 7,000 P as a ‘Performance of the Blood’ bonus. (Team ‘Despair’ fee deducted 3,000 P)]

[I received 7,000 P as a ‘Fight of the Blood’ bonus. (Team ‘Despair’ fee deducted 3,000 P)]

[The player ‘Arwen’ is given the qualifications of a contender (challenger).]

Recognized for his overwhelming strength, Arwen qualified as a contender in just one game.

And the second match we faced.

―Named vs Named! Clash at Blood Knight 200!

As soon as the match started, she heard the news that a strong person would participate, starting with a person called a name.

However, the strong human being he encountered was very disappointing.

“Mi, crazy! No casting!”

Humans lost their fighting spirit after just one clash and started to run away.

It was much faster and much stronger than her, but that was it.

It wasn’t enough to be called a strong person.

The strong people I’ve met so far have something that makes me cry with just their eyes.

Arwen was able to catch and kill a strong human running away without much effort.

‘I need a stronger human being.’

No matter how many weak humans she killed, the hatred that crept deep in her heart could not be washed away.

It was only when he killed a strong human that the hatred faded little by little.

So it was time to set out to find another strong human.

Another human was hiding in the place where the strong human was killed.

‘It’s an unusual wavelength of mana.’

I was able to notice the strangeness thanks to my innate mana sensitivity.

A man who wears a strange mask that reaches down to his nose and has a unique mana wavelength.

The lost interest was rekindled.

Having unusual mana was highly likely to be a strong human being.

In addition, a bloody smell emanated from the mask he was wearing.

He must be a strong human being.

However, the man betrayed Arwen’s expectations.

‘Run away?’

Without even thinking about attacking her, he started running away with all his might.

‘I was a weak human being.’

Seeing such a man, Arwen concluded that he was a weak human being.

Then, with the highest level water spirit, she threw magic at the man.

You have to kill the man quickly and start looking for a stronger human again.

Then the unexpected happened.

‘damage?’

The man casually avoided the magic.

Arwen once again sprinkled magic.

Kwakwang! Kwagwagwang! Kwakwang! bang!

But once again, the magic only passed the man.

Intrigued, she quickly started chasing the man.

So far, countless humans have tried to escape from her.

And Arwen never missed a human running away.

‘Strong… human…?’

Arwen tilted her head.

Seeing how the man avoided magic, it seemed that he was a strong person, but also that he was not.

I wonder if

However, in the following appearance, Arwen was able to be sure that the man was a strong human being.

“Ah!”

“this guy! Ugh!”

It started to break through, tearing apart the players blocking the road at once.

The man seemed to be much stronger than the strong man he had dealt with for the first time.

‘A strong person was right.’

Arwen felt hot.

I wanted to kill the man quickly and wash away the hatred a little bit.

So she chased the man while shooting stronger magic.

‘How can that human avoid spirit magic?’

However, as the distance with the man increased, it grew farther away, and I did not think of reducing it.

Elemental magic must be difficult to detect.

I chased for 7 hours like that, but I couldn’t catch the man.

In the end, Arwen had no choice but to back down after calling the lowest water spirit to watch over the man from afar.

the next morning.

Arwen, who had fully recovered his physical strength, moved again to kill the man.

‘It can’t be done the same way as yesterday.’

I felt like I had to prepare for a decisive move.

So Arwen, who found out the direction the man was moving through the information given by the lowest water spirit, turned around and ran ahead of the man.

When I moved, it was the center of the forest.

‘Today.’

Arwen summoned the highest level water spirit and cast magic in advance.

And hiding those magics everywhere, waiting for the man to come.

However, a strange human entered the trap set to catch the man.

He was a very weak human being.

Arwen waited for the weak human to get out of the trap, but the weak human didn’t think to leave and started leaning against a tree to rest.

‘Shall I kill him?’

He thought of killing the weak human and burying him as an earth spirit, but the timing wasn’t good.

The strong man has almost reached the trap.

So Arwen decided to watch the situation for now.

Fortunately, a strong human was coming into the trap.

‘it’s okay.’

Arwen smiled lightly. I didn’t know how long it had been since I smiled.

The strong humans were approaching little by little, preying on the weak humans.

“omg!”

The strong man, thinking he had come close enough, leaped to kill the weak man.

‘Elestra.’

At the same time, Arwen called the highest level water spirit.

Numerous ice arrows that had been hidden as a signal were fired at the man.

The man threw himself to avoid it, but to no avail.

I knew that, and I deliberately set a wide range.

It was then.

aaa!

A strong thunderbolt spread around the man, and it escaped the range of magic as if it had teleported.

‘What is that?’

Although he did not understand the scene, Arwen instinctively pursued the man.

We have to stop it as much as the distance is widening.

“sh*t!”

The man who saw Arwen chasing him spat out a curse.

‘Elestra, freeze the floor with ice.’

The highest level water spirit that followed fired an ice sphere in the direction the man was going.

The ice sphere touched the dirt floor and spread cold air, creating an ice sheet on the floor.

‘Let’s catch up with this gap.’

Arwen sped up.

It was then.

I thought for sure that the man would slip and fall on the ice, but he started to cross the ice without incident.

The soles of the man’s feet shone softly.

‘Wow, did you change the quality with mana?’

The man was much more skilled than Arwen had thought.

Then Arwen’s body heated up.

‘I want to kill you. How would you feel if you killed that strong human?’

First of all, I wanted to start by cutting off that thigh that gave me trouble.

Unfortunately, however, the distance between him and the man was getting farther and farther away.

In the end, even that day Arwen couldn’t catch the man.

Even though I pretended to give up and then sneaked up again to surprise.

‘Ah, I want to kill him quickly!’

Arwen twisted her whole body.

I kept feeling like I was going to get caught, but I couldn’t catch it, so I became impatient.

[Current number of survivors: 1,824]

[Status of kills]

[1st. ‘Ren’ 157 kills]

[2nd place. ‘Victor’ 61 kills]

[3rd place. ‘Izen’ 48 kills]

[4th place. ‘Aaron’ 40 kills]

[5th place. ‘Han So-ho’ 39 kills]

[Time remaining until end of match: 23:33:42]

23 hours left.

There is only one day left.

But the strong man was not thinking of being caught.

Even if he threw magic, even if he laid a sheet of ice on the floor, and even if he built a wall of ice, it was all to no avail.

‘How can I kill him?’

I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn’t come up with a sharp number.

i want to kill

I think you can kill it if you catch it.

Arwen sighed.

‘Now I can’t even take a surprise attack.’

A strong human did not move further than a certain distance from her.

Even now, it was just 100 meters from Arwen’s resting place.

After a few surprise attacks, it seemed that he had decided to check her movements from one to ten.

‘How can there be no way?’

Arwen stared at the strong human resting 100 meters away.

Then the strong human also turned to her.

Eyes met in midair.

His eyes made my body tremble just by looking at them.

It’s been a really long time.

A person who makes me want to kill like this.

At that time, the lowest water spirit, Undine, who had gone out to scout, flew over and whispered to Arwen.

Arwen’s eyes sparkled as he listened to Undine’s whisper.

‘Oh, that’s a really good way?’

For some reason, I felt like I could kill a strong human tomorrow.

only if you get caught.

I have to make you pretty.
