Chapter 810: Legend
In the end, Habitus did not manage to dodge Bach’s attack . His three fingers could no longer hold the shield tightly, and Bach’s brutal force sent it flying away . The thing that angered Habitus was that Bach had no intention to stop attacking him . Instead, he took a step closer and slashed his head with his sword . Habitus was helpless . For now, he had to temporarily give up the idea of dropping his weapon and surrendering . He used the sword in his left hand to block the attack, and at the same time, distanced himself from Bach .
However, just when he thought he had finally earned a chance to surrender, Bach made a shameless move, utterly stunning Habitus . He saw Bach throwing his small round shield aside before charging at him violently with the sword in his hand .
Habitus was now wholly overtaken by fear . He had to continue to fight because he was worried that the audience would want to execute him if he surrendered . At the same time, he lowered his voice and said to Bach, “Time to stop . I have already lost the battle . You can now take advantage of me to increase your reputation . All the reputation that I have accumulated so far now belongs to you . ”
“Not enough,” Bach said .
“Damn, what else do you want from me? Do you want me to pay you? I’ve been a gladiator for so many years, and I have saved a lot of money . I can pay you if let you let me surrender . ”
“No, no, I have no interest in your money . I just want to end your life,” Bach replied with sincerity .
“Are you f*cking sick in the head?!” Habitus could not help but yelled at last, “Don’t forget that we are gladiators from the same gladiator school . What are you going to tell Mark Reuss if you kill me?”

“Why should I care about what a retarded middle-aged Roman thinks?” Bach asked .
Habitus had almost run out of options to stay alive . So he could only lower his posture again and say, “Listen, we did not target you yesterday . You should know that . I just wanted to stop and prevent you from interfering in our business . As for the first time we met, Gaby asked me to beat you up to discipline you . You can see that there is actually no unsolvable enmity between us . ”
“It makes sense . ” Bach nodded .
Habitus was about to turn his sorrow into joy, but the very next moment, he could feel a cold-hard slash on his neck . Bach made sure that he slashed him fast enough . When he nodded just now, Habitus put down his guard for a brief moment . That was all it took for his throat to be slit . The latter knelt on the ground and desperately pressed his bloody neck . His eyes were filled with horror and confusion .
“There is nothing complicated about it . I’m just unhappy with you,” Bach grinned . “Since we are from the same school, I don’t want to see you wandering in front of me again . ”
“…”
Habitus seemed to try to coax out a reply, but he could now no longer speak .
Just as Bach and Habitus fought fiercely, Zhang Heng had already defeated three opponents . His performance was similar to what the audience had expected . As always, he was invincible, and he achieved flawless victory in every battle . No matter who the opponent was, they could not make more than ten moves against Zhang Heng .
In fact, Zhang Heng spent most of his time waiting for his next opponent to appear . However, when he saw his fourth opponent, the audience was left in a huge shock . For the first time, some of them started to worry for him .
That was because his next opponent was an archer gladiator .
There was no limitation to the type of gladiators in this performance . Hence, some overpowered gladiator professions were also mixed in this final battle . And archer gladiators was one of them . The archer gladiator’s circumstance was quite unique here . If their opponents were gladiators that wore heavy armor, they would surely lose the battle . However, if they faced light-armored gladiators, they would turn into the merciless death that reaped their souls .

Unfortunately, Zhang Heng was the kind of gladiator that wore light armor . And the worst part was he did not even have a shield with him . Other than that, he had also left his helmet in the lounge . In other words, he did not have a single piece of defensive equipment on him .
After analyzing his opponent, the archer gladiator opposite him had his hopes relit . And he was extremely excited about it . He knew that the gladiator that stood in front of him was the main attraction of the entire performance . If he could kill Zhang Heng here, he would undoubtedly become famous . Even if he failed to win this show’s championship, he would still become famous throughout the entire Rome .
Even if he could not become a legend, it was not too shabby to become a legend’s terminator . So when the judge signaled them to start the battle, he instantly drew an arrow and put it on the bowstring .
But his opponent Zhang Heng, like the previous few battles, made no special preparations . All he did was charge at his opponent . The archer gladiator could not believe what he was seeing . Why was there such a stupid person in this world now?
Even though there was a high chance that he would claim the victory, the archer gladiator still decided to be patient and did not fire the arrow until Zhang Heng got closer . When Zhang
Heng was ten steps away from him . The archer gladiator knew that there was no way that he would miss the target . So, he fired the arrow at Zhang Heng .
At the same time, Zhang Heng began to make his move as well . Since he possessed Lv2 archery skills himself, he could roughly judge where the arrow would land from the way his opponent fired . Ultimately, he still relied on his Lv4 swordsmanship . Zhang Heng did not even stop moving . All he did was swing his swords randomly .
And the next moment, his swords slashed the flying arrow with pinpoint accuracy .
The audience heard a loud bang, and they saw Zhang Heng’s sword deflecting the oncoming arrow .
On the other hand, the archer gladiator was left in complete bewilderment . He was wondering how that happened . He did not take his last opportunity to shoot another arrow . All he did was stood there with an empty mind . It looked like he had given up on fighting back . This was probably the deadliest mistake made by a gladiator since the start of this final battle . There was not a single audience who blamed him for giving up fighting back . That was because all the audience who saw this scene were left in shock without exception .
It was not until Zhang Heng rushed in front of the archer gladiator and placed his Persian sword in front of the latter’s neck . He then realized that he had been eliminated . As compared to his defeat, the scene where Zhang Heng deflected his arrow had a bigger impact on him . It even destroyed his confidence and common sense .
And this scene further fortified the beliefs of Sartonilos and the others . The oriental man in front of them must be the incarnation of some god . Otherwise, there was no way to explain his outrageous strength . While thinking about it, Sartonilos and the others, who had lost the will to fight, deteriorated even further . They had now almost lost to the ordinary opponents in front of them .

Mage Among Superheroes
Turlough is a mage. He also happens to be an orc, generally lauded as being less intelligent than humans. He was unfortunately born with the Curse of the Barbarian, meaning that he can’t level up except through combat- which greatly hinders his ability to show he can be a proper mage. In a world with necromancers, dragons, invading armies, and all sorts of other monsters he would still be able to advance quickly, but unfortuantely… that world is not his world. An unprecedented peace reigns across the land, and in the last several decades there’s been little use for people capable of fighting- and thus little reason for people to fight him. So when he sees a portal in his master’s study he takes it, hoping to find a horde of demons or something equally foolish to combat at low level. But instead he ends up in a strange city full of skyscrapers and people running around in colorful outfits. Superheroes- and of course supervillains as well. What dangers and opportunities could await him in such a strange and unfamiliar world? Only time will tell. Inspired by many things in the superhero genre, and Super Minion specifically- though while the setting will share some standard elements, it is an original setting that will hopefully be as engaging as many of the other universes. Schedule: One chapter each Monday/Thursday, approx. 2000 words.
