274 One Against Twenty!

At this point, the two Gladiators had already descended to the stage and were prepping themselves to face off against their opponent.

At this time, a voice suddenly made them halt their movements.

“Just you guys? You guys are not enough!” Randy bluntly told them while shaking his head.

historical

“What?” The two Gladiators couldn’t help but blankly ask this out of habit the moment they first heard him. The next moment, they came back to their senses as they processed what they had just heard. Their faces immediately twisted in anger, and they were about to speak their minds before being rudely interrupted again by Randy’s indifferent voice.

“I said you guys are not enough of a challenge! Did you not hear me the first time?! Then I will repeat myself. I want to challenge all of those who qualify to accept my challenge at the same time!”

This declaration caused the entire Coliseum to become like an abandoned house. It was completely silent all around. Only the whistling of the wind could faintly be heard in one’s ear at this time.

“This bastard has taken it too far!”

With a single sentence from one of the spectators, who couldn’t take it anymore, almost like a domino effect, the other spectators also started cursing at Randy without any restraint in their words. While some wished they could beat him up themselves, their levels were too low, which had prevented them from being able to take on the challenge.

They couldn’t understand why this newbie Gladiator was taunting others and overestimating himself just because he won one Gladiator match. They haven’t met anyone with such a conceited nature until today, which says a lot about how much they hated his overbearing attitude and unfounded confidence on stage. He dared to challenge everyone. Not even the senior Gladiators were this arrogant when they fought. They wanted him to be taught a lesson to set a precedent, so no one dares to act this arrogant in the future.

.....

..

Meanwhile, inside the room where the senior Gladiators were watching the match from. At this moment, a loud noise suddenly resounded in the entire room of the booth.

Bang!

A huge fist has smashed into the wall, forming a cobweb-like crack in it.

“That does it!! I am going to teach this unbridled brat a lesson! No one can stop me!”

Great Sword Dien shouted exasperatedly with a twisted expression. Veins could be seen on his forehead as he gritted his teeth. Then, he descended towards the platform. He couldn’t stand it anymore and chose to take on the challenge directly rather than leave it to those two juniors.

On the other hand, the other senior Gladiators hesitated and were indecisive about joining the challenge. Even though they were also angry, they couldn’t afford to lose their dignity as seniors by partaking in a bully-like fight against a newbie.

However, to their shock, Fortress Defender Manock shook his head with a smile and also directly jumped straight down from the booth. He descended in the direction of the platform.

‘That guy really is too temperamental. But at this point, I might as well join in. It will be more fun to observe the newbie up close rather than strain my eyes to observe at the distance.’ Fortress Defender Manock silently thought with a delighted smile on his face.

The other Gladiators silently watched this situation develop and felt that they were the odd ones out and some also decided to descend as well. After all, they were being challenged by an arrogant junior, so if they still did not show themselves, they wouldn’t have the right to call themselves seniors, now would they?

As for bullying? No one could blame them. Moreover, all the spectators could serve as witnesses.

The remaining ones, including Twin Snake Dagger Zeroth, were still deliberating their decision as they stood there glancing at each other without saying a word.

..

On the platform.

The moment Great Sword Dien showed up, tried his best to maintain his composure, then said calmly with a hint of coldness: “It seems like winning one match made you, a mere junior, become too conceited! You do not know your place and even had the gall to challenge all of us at the same time? I will take it that you’re ready to receive some thrashing as discipline for your arrogance this time.”

‘Thrashing, huh?’ Randy muttered inwardly to himself and could feel the hostility in the other party’s words, but he did not mind it at all.

At this moment, Fortress Defender Manock, who had just arrived at the stage not long ago, said with a smile: “This junior is quite courageous to challenge us all at the same time. I admire you! I can’t wait to see what made you so confident. However, I have to warn you right now.. Think of it as a piece of advice from a senior. It would do you good to show us all what you’ve got without holding back. Otherwise, a few broken bones will be the least of your worries after we’re done.”

“...”

Randy could tell that the first guy was really pissed off without a doubt, but he didn’t care as that would make it all worth it. The angry they became before the match, the better, as they wouldn’t hold back on him when they fight in a bit.

As for the second guy, Randy felt that he seemed excited about this situation rather than annoyed, which was very strange. It was impossible for him to tell what his true motive was. Even so, that didn’t matter as long as he participated in his challenge. That was all that mattered to him in the end.

A few moments later, the remaining Gladiators that had decided to participate descended and joined the four people on the stage. The two Gladiators that accepted Randy’s challenge to build their reputation were left dumbfounded and in a daze at the number of people present on the stage.

20 people! Including them, a total of twenty people faced off against one person! This is too unprecedented!

They didn’t expect the situation to drastically change just because of a few words from this newbie Gladiator.

Even the umpire who initially was perplexed was shocked by the turn of events and wanted to stop the match. However, there wasn’t any rule against multiple brawls in the Coliseum’s Gladiator matches.

In reality, no one could accomplish the feat of fighting against two people at the same time without losing instantly from the coordinated attacks of two people, unless it was a three-way battle. Thus, the umpire decided to refrain from interfering and let this unrestrained Gladiator suffer the consequence of his own actions.
