Chapter 16: Heating up the Atmosphere

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For the second duel, Lin Lei did not have to change his clothes in the corridor.

The arena had a special room for Lin Lei to get dressed.

The slightly feminine-looking stylist circled around Lin Lei, turning him left and right, causing Lin Lei to feel rather irritated.

“When do we start?”

Hearing Lin Lei’s question, the stylist, as though he had just woken up, replied, “Ah, I was too stunned.

“This face is too perfect. I don’t even know how to start.

“If you’re in a play, you’ll definitely make a lot of money.”

Lin Lei felt that this stylist was using his eyes to molest him, and he was rather angry.

“Since I don’t need to put on makeup, I’ll go out now!”

“Oh, don’t be so anxious!” The way the makeup artist dragged out his words caused goosebumps to rise all over Lin Lei body.

“Although you don’t need makeup, you need a set of clothes.”

The makeup artist clapped his hands, and two strong slaves carried a large box in.

The makeup artist rummaged through the box and took out clothes after clothes.

“This won’t do…

“This one is too rough. It won’t do your temperament justice…”

When he saw a certain piece of clothing, the stylist’s eyes lit up. “Alright, I’ve been struck with inspiration. This will do.”

…

A horse race was taking place in the arena.

A few soldiers rode their chariots across the field and even drifted around the corners, causing waves of cheers.

Emperor Titus was watching the match with rapt attention when he suddenly tasted something sweet in his mouth.

He glanced sideways and realized that Lana was feeding him grapes. He said in an unpleasant tone, “Lana, you’ve come to the arena again.”

“Dad,” Lana said cutely as she sat to the side. “I’m bored.”

“You’re here to watch the orc fight. Don’t think I don’t know you,” Titus replied.

“What’s wrong with that?” Lana pouted.

“Nothing much, but it’s a little too much for you to poison The Butcher. The figure behind the casino are the priests of the God of War, Kallius. You’re simply robbing their money.”

Upon hearing Titus’ words, Lana’s heart skipped a beat. She thought that she had done a good job of concealing her actions.

She was not embarrassed at being exposed and said, “Didn’t you say that not being discovered is equivalent to not doing it?

“It’s fine as long as they don’t catch me.”

Titus looked at his daughter, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

She did look like him, but it was a pity that she was a woman.

There had never been an empress in Talantum.

“I swapped out the food you poisoned. Don’t do this again. The priests have arranged more people in the arena than you can imagine.”

Titus took a sip of wine.

“But he’s going to die!” Lana was a little anxious.

“If he dies, then he dies. If he can’t even beat The Butcher, then he’s not qualified to protect you.”

Titus’ words were cold.

At this time, the chariot chase on the field had ended.

After the host celebrated the team’s victory, he began to hype up the atmosphere for the upcoming gladiator battle.

“Today, our arena will welcome a duel between legends!

“First, let’s welcome the first legendary gladiator!

“The invincible master, the pugilist, and the invincible giant who won 20 consecutive victories in the arena…

“The Butcher!”

The gate was opened, and a huge black shadow came out from the back of the tunnel.

After exiting the tunnel, he was able to stand up straight. His tall head was even able to look at the audience in the front row.

Other than a pair of steel shorts and armor, The Butcher was completely naked. His strong muscles looked as if they were about to burst out from under his skin.

His upper body was tattooed with a huge blood-dripping dragon head, and a necklace made of a 50-centimeter beast head hung around his neck. His hair was dreadfully braided, and his fierce and wild temperament made some people have difficulty breathing.

The Butcher used his huge single eye to sweep across the entire scene. As he took a deep breath, two vortexes seemed to rise in the air.

Roar!

After taking a deep breath, The Butcher let out a thunderous roar. The audience, who were facing The Butcher’s sonic wave, felt as if the air had blurred for a moment.

Then, the atmosphere reached its peak.

“The Butcher!”

“The Butcher!”

“The Butcher!”

…

Along with the audience’s uniform shouts, The Butcher opened his arms and slowly walked around the field.

When the shouting died down, the host finally shouted excitedly.

“The Butcher in position!

“The next one to appear is the rising star of the arena, the new monster who killed a minotaur with martial arts!

“Bull Butcher!”

The iron gate opened, and Lin Lei’s figure appeared from another tunnel.

The first thing that appeared in front of the audience was a pair of huge deer horns.

The deer’s horns extended downward, and a deathly white orc bone mask covered Lin Lei’s face.

Lin Lei was wearing a shawl with a fox’s head on it, and his sculpted, knife-like abs were exposed.

The wide pleated skirt added a touch of femininity to his style.

The orc bone mask on his face added a hint of mystery to Lin Lei’s aura.

When he came out, all the female hormones in the audience soared.

“Oh, oh, oh!”

“Wow!”

…

Some of the women screamed and scratched their necks madly, leaving bloody marks.

Some even threw flowers at Lin Lei.

Of course, there were not only women who threw flowers but also some men.

Amidst the flower petals that filled the sky, Lin Lei slowly removed his bone mask, revealing his handsome and tough face.

“Oh, I can’t breathe!”

A female audience member suddenly fainted from such a huge shock.

Lana’s eyes also lit up, and she almost started shouting as well.

“Lana!” Titus let out a soft cry.

Lana hurriedly covered her mouth, but Titus felt as if he could see pink clouds hovering around Lana in her daze.

‘Sigh, my daughter has grown up…’

Titus was helpless.

As Lin Lei walked one round around the arena, the atmosphere reached a crescendo.

Seeing that the cheers did not die down, the host could only forcefully interrupt.

“Cough, Bull Butcher in position!

“Now, let’s enter the interview segment.”

A few flower fairies the size of an adult’s palm flew onto the stage through magic.

“The Butcher, do you have anything to say to Bull Butcher?”

The Butcher looked at the flower fairies, which were not even the size of his nostrils, flying to his head and said in a muffled voice, “I’m going to smash you into pieces!”

The male audience burst into cheers. “Beat this pretty boy to death!”

“Ahem, Bull Butcher, do you have anything to say to The Butcher?”

Lin Lei chuckled. Even the flower fairy, who was acting as the microphone, was a little dazed.

“I’m going to pull out your intestines!”

“Ahhhh!” A wave of female voices was set off in the audience again.”Beat this big idiot to death!”

The host saw the high atmosphere and shouted excitedly, “Alright, the… fight… begins…

“Now!”

The bone horn of a giant orc let out a long cry.

Lin Lei and The Butcher’s duel had officially begun.
