Light Spirit Epic Chapter 1563: The ultimate battle is in the sand.
Chapter 1563 The ultimate battle on the battlefield (seven)
In AD 512, for the first time, men emerged from the prison cells of slaves and became free.
As he strolled away from the Colosseum in Rome, he was greeted with applause and cheers from countless Romans.
People called this man a hero, a warrior, a champion like no other. People admired his strength and prowess, and even praised the man's mechanics and sophistication in battle, but they never understood him.
Before the man left, he looked back again and glanced at the building behind him that made him prosperous, made him struggle between life and death countless times, and made him love and hate. For the first time in his life, he felt hesitant.
That's right. Gladiator Berelder, originally a slave. A freak from birth, with four arms, even though his parents thought he was a foreign body that shouldn't exist in the world, a baby born under a curse, they abandoned him in an instant.
He first spent his childhood before the age of six in an orphanage, and then he became a slave in confusion, wandering between the prison cells of countless slave owners and the auction house. Berelder's last slave owner was very witty, and bought him into the gladiatorial arena and received a large sum of money. Berelder was only twelve years old when he entered the arena.
By the way, the name Berelder is not his original name, maybe it was changed by the organizers of the arena later, because they need every player to have a more domineering-sounding name , to attract the attention of the audience.
All in all, when he was only twelve years old at the time, he was sent to the arena in such a confused way to become a gladiator.
I don't know if it's luck or misfortune, Berelder, who has been a slave since the beginning, has already experienced the bitterness and cruelty of the world, and has honed the unyielding will to survive no matter what, and the physical strength necessary to fight against the enemy. Even though he was only twelve years old, he was still very strong and ready to fight his adversary.
He survived the initial wave of challenges with the physique he had developed as a slave, and his four gifted arms. Every day, every day, he must fight with primitive weapons and fight to the death of opponents who are similar to him. For these little characters who have no status and have just been bought cheaply from other slave owners, they are all consumables. Failure is not allowed, the price is death.
The ten-year-old Berelder, time and time again, had to cut off the heads of his defeated opponents. Because that's the only way for him to survive. He clings to life in a land of blood and iron, growing stronger... and numb. He understands his situation and kills his opponent mercilessly in order to survive for years.
During that time, he always fought cautiously, outmaneuvering his opponents as unscathed as possible. Because gladiators of their caliber were sent to forced combat every day, they were usually held in cells to prevent them from escaping. Even if he was lucky enough to win the last battle, if he was seriously injured and could not heal, the battle the next day would be too difficult.
However, when Berelder was fifteen years old, his condition changed dramatically.
Not because the Romans were more tolerant of gladiators, but because Berelder had accumulated a lot of popularity in successive battles and gradually became less famous. Those gladiators who have made a name for themselves, even if they are defeated, will not be killed immediately, but will be voted by the audience outside the arena to decide whether they live or die.
Of course, the gladiator Berelder, who has reached this level, must also start fighting against fighters of the same caliber as him. Those are the outstanding gladiators who have experienced thousands of dead battles and are left after the big waves, so the difficulty and danger of the battle have become higher. In this level of battle, Berelder has won and lost, but he has never been executed by the audience, and the reason is simple: because the battles he participated in were very good.
After countless battles, the fifteen-year-old boy finally understood the essence of gladiatorial competition.
Its nature is not killing, just cruelty.
Although unwilling to admit it, the Romans who ruled the Eastern Roman Empire at that time were actually a savage and brutal race that advocated power. It is precisely because they advocate the nature of strength that the cruel competition of gladiatorial combat exists and becomes an open entertainment project. Citizens vented the pressure accumulated in their daily life by watching the gladiators fight, they didn't care which fighter fell in the end, and they didn't care who these gladiators died and who lived---- --All they care about is a good fight.
Understanding the nature of gladiatorial combat, Berelder was relieved. Without the pressure of "you must die if you lose the battle", all he can do is fight with all his strength. Gain more experience in battle and become stronger. The higher his level, the stronger the opponent he has to face. From battle-hardened veterans, to various monsters of beasts, and even dragons, he has fought one by one.
Gradually, Berelder's win rate has become higher and higher, and his skills have become more mature and famous. When his fame was so high that his appearances in battle became mere adoration, and victory and defeat no longer mattered, he fell. He could no longer find the slightest passion in the battle, and some of them were just gorgeous moves that were just on the surface, and vain fights like circus performances. However, the general public can't tell the difference. For the common people, as long as the gladiator fights look gorgeous, it is good.
He forgot that he was still a slave, he only remembered that he was a big red man in the arena, proud of his reputation and fearless. However, all people are like this, born in sorrow and die in peace. As Berelder's old enemy, and also his friend, another gladiator named Leonard had already foreseen Berelder's fate. In a multi-gladiator performance against a dragon, Berelder missed and was seriously injured, while Leonard was killed by the dragon for protecting Berelder who was unable to move. Swallow to death.
Since that incident, Gladiator Berelder has been brooding, and his fighting style has changed back to his original conservative style. Since then, the gladiator Berelder has become an undefeated legend in the arena of death. Any battle with him would have ended with a complete defeat of the opponent and with Berelder completely unharmed. He was as powerful as a monster, winning with an impeccable, watertight defense, and a savage, razor-sharp counterattack that his opponent couldn't even inflict a small wound on him.
And so many years later, Berelder's undefeated legend is recognized by the public and feared by the operators of the deathmatch. As long as Berelder is in the game, he will win, which is a nightmare for people who run underground gambling - no matter how low the odds are, gamblers will buy Berelder to win, and Berelder will win. Laird did not fail to win, so the dealer must lose money. After hundreds of such big losses, the operators of the Death Arena decided to fire the gladiator Berelder. On the surface, he was given freedom as a slave, but in fact, it was to drive away the **** of plague that caused the businessman to lose money repeatedly.
At the age of twenty-five, the gladiator Berelder left the Roman death arena and was regarded by the Romans as the undefeated warrior in the arena. Go title. After that, he worked as a mercenary, a bodyguard, and even a bandit for a short time, but he never let his identity stay in a certain industry for a long time. Beginning a few years ago, gladiator Berelder resigned from all positions and resolutely participated in the round table trial, his motives still remain an unexplainable mystery.
……
In the bridge of the battleship Britannia, King Arthur watched the battle between the werewolf Bedivere and the gladiator Berelder through a holographic screen, while reading Berelder's bio on the other side.
Although the round table test does not prohibit unidentified candidates from taking the test, for the sake of safety, the organizer of the test generally conducts open and unannounced visits through various means to understand the origin of each candidate. However, even though the intelligence network of Great Britain is very large and there is almost no information that cannot be found, the origins of some candidates are still full of mystery. Regardless of Bedivere, who is currently fighting (his identity is a complete mystery!), even the background of the gladiator Berelder is full of doubts.
Despite being released from the Roman death arena ~IndoMTL.com~ freed from slavery, Berelder was never a legitimate Roman citizen and, as a result, his identity is rarely recorded , The intelligence network of Great Britain can find, mostly only some rumors, gossip, and there are also some exaggerated statements.
The biggest problem is that the Gladiator has been reluctant to tell King Arthur what he really wants, despite his previous private interviews with Berelder. The private interview did not force the candidates to answer every question, so the King of Knights did not force Berelder to express his wishes at that time, but only tested it, hoping to find out the true purpose of the gladiator's participation in the round table trial from the other party's words. The gladiator Berelder was a man of careful thought, and King Arthur's temptation ended in vain.
What is this guy trying to achieve, or what does he want to achieve? The king of knights looked at the gladiator who was fighting on the screen and fell into contemplation.
Is Berelder's struggle to revive the friend who died in his place? Or, simply for the pursuit of glory and wealth? The former, the king of knights has already told Berelder famously, even the Knights of the Round Table cannot do it; the latter, it is not a strong enough motive, and it contradicts the gladiator's current posture of fighting.
What exactly does Gladiator Berelder want?
