They all started yelling loudly at me, shaking their weapons, clearly thinking they can intimidate me. I had no idea how much intel about my person was spread to the multi-imperial community, but I was suspecting it had to be very little because I didn't even participate in the fights on Dispur. Their behavior and confidence, showcased on some of the faces, told me they thought it's a piece of cake to just demolish me.
I moved forward despite all the noise and the closest heavyweight alien swung at me his jagged weapon that looked a bit sword-like. I ducked under it, and with one step closed the distance, then punched him in the knee breaking the whole leg apart, and used the disturbance in his balance, to push him at those standing behind, then I jumped on his stomach as he was collapsing, and ran across his torso, stepping on his face to jump at the backline.
In a second I caused panic among their ranks. Few tried to swing at me, but I just protected my head rising arms on both sides and allowing the metal to hit me. Those strikes tore my clothes, but my body was too hard to be damaged by such weak attacks.
I landed between two gladiators, but before my feet reached the sand, I dug my right hand's fingers in the face of one of them, sinking them deep and breaking his skull, then I reaped his face-off, as I backhanded the one on the left with my fist breaking his jaw.
I immediately ducked down and stepped further to make it deeper, and attacked the first leg I could see. I practically tore it off.
The aliens in a span of a second maybe two were in complete panic mode, as they didn't suspect what was happening in front of their eyes at all.
That's when the real carnage happened, cause I unleashed myself. The pieces of flesh started flying in the air as I blasted through them, panicking. I was reaping their bodies apart, and making the blood spray everywhere. The sand turned red as more and more torn to shreds bodies fell down.
It all ended with me standing in the middle of seventy butchered aliens. Some were still in agony, about to die, in a state when nobody, but magic, could save them.
The crowd above was silent, as they looked at me in my destroyed slave clothing, with a collar on my neck, all covered with blood. They got just as scared as the gladiators a moment ago.
Between those faces, I spotted him, the Calludin. He was smiling and even started clapping. This turned the table a bit, as other aliens caught his enthusiasm and suddenly started cheering. It was so damn weird.
The door I came through opened, so I went back, returning to the big chamber, where the strange-looking alien woman, holding the papers was waiting for me. The whole hall became silent, and everybody's attention focused on me.
Her body was all tense from fear, and she gestured with a trembling hand to follow her. I did.
We went back to the room I waited for previously, and that's when she left me. Alone there, I went straight to the bathroom to clean myself up a bit. Then the Calludin returned.
- Great performance - he said as soon as he got inside.
- You get what you wanted - I said to him, coming out of the bathroom, still partially covered in blood, and also soaking wet. - I killed everybody.
- And now you would like your reward? - he asked.
I didn't answer anything to his words, which made him laugh.
- Sadly for you, I'm the one who decides if you will get the reward or not. And my decision is to not reward you.
I moved in a blink of an eye, jumping towards him. The collar reacted sending a powerful burst of electricity through my body. It would easily kill a normal human, but I was not a normal person. My muscles only painfully tensed, but I was still able to move rather freely.
His psychic powers were enough to stop me though. I froze with my hand risen halfway.
I wanted to blast him in the face, but he was able to prevent that from happening. He picked me up and made me levitate slightly above the ground, then he made my body rotate in the space.
This meant he had to be stronger than Nall, who probably wouldn't be able to stop me like he wasn't able to stop Will. This one, though, whatever his name was, had such an ability, and was most certainly going to use it on me whenever there was such an opportunity.
- You are so full of anger, human. You knew this from the very beginning. You are here to be tortured by me. And as far as I know, torture doesn't usually include rewards.
- Ugh... F-Fuck y-you - I managed to squeeze out.
This caused him to laugh.
- We are going to have so much fun here. I actually can't wait - he said, and then walked out of the room, flying me behind himself.
He paraded through the big chamber and moved to one of two exits I didn't use previously, so I had no idea where it was leading to. As I soon found out, behind it was an apartment complex for the slaves participating in the fights in the arena. And by 'apartments' a mean 2x2 concrete cages with a barrier as a front wall on few floors, which was giving quite a number of gladiators.
I was shoved into one of them, and then finally I could move again. I picked myself from the flor, just as the barrier got activated. This one was more pinkish in coloration.
- Have a good night, slave. We will see each other tomorrow. I have a fight planned for you - he said with a smile on his face, then left.
I was so pissed that I slammed my fist into the wall, but it was not enough to break it.
