In the end, Habitus did not manage to dodge Bach's slash. He could no longer hold the shield in his hand with his remaining three fingers, and the shield flew out of his hand.
But what made Habitus furious was that Bach did not seem to have any intention of stopping. Instead, he took a step closer and slashed at his head. Habitus had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of throwing away his weapon and surrendering. He used the short sword in his left hand to block Bach's attack. At the same time, he tried to distance himself from Bach.
However, just when he thought that he had finally earned the chance to surrender, the next shameless move of the Germanic completely stunned him.
Bach threw his small round shield aside, picked up his sword, and rushed at Habitus in high spirits.
Habitus's scalp went numb. He was worried that the audience would ask him to be executed after he surrendered, so he had to continue to fight. At the same time, he lowered his voice and said to Bach, "Are you done? I have lost. You can step on me now. All the reputation I have accumulated is now yours."
"Not enough," Bach said.
"Damn it, what else do you want from me? Do you want me to pay you? I have been a gladiator for so many years, and I have saved some money. I can pay you to let me surrender. "
"No, no, I'm not interested in money. I just want to kill you," the Germanic said sincerely.
"Are you f * cking sick?!" Habitus finally could not help but curse, "Don't forget that we are gladiators in the same arena. If you kill me, how are you going to explain it to Mark Reuss?"
"Why should I care about what a silly middle-aged Roman thinks?" Bach asked curiously.
Habitus had no choice but to lower his stance. "Listen, we did not target you yesterday. You should know that. I just wanted to control you and prevent you from getting involved in this matter. When we first met, Gaby asked me to teach you a lesson. So, you see, there is no unsolvable hatred between us," Zhang Heng said.
"That makes sense." Bach nodded.
Just as Habitus was about to rejoice, he felt a chill on his neck the next moment. Bach's sword was fast and ruthless, and his nod earlier had numbed Habitus to a certain extent. Hence, the sudden sword slashed Habitus's neck.
The latter knelt on the ground and held his neck, which was bleeding nonstop. His eyes were filled with fear and confusion.
"There's no need to say so much. I just don't like you." Germanic grinned. "Especially considering that we are from the same gladiator school, I don't want to see you wandering around in front of me again."
"…"
Habitus seemed to want to say something, but now he could no longer speak.
While Bach and Habitus were fighting fiercely, Zhang Heng had already defeated three opponents. His performance was similar to the audience's expectations. He was invincible as always, and every battle was clean and neat. No matter who his opponent was, no one could last more than ten moves against him.
In fact, most of the time, Zhang Heng was just waiting for his next opponent to appear. However, when he saw his fourth opponent, the audience exclaimed in surprise. For the first time, someone even began to worry about Zhang Heng.
That was because his next opponent was an archer gladiator.
As mentioned before, the gladiator class was not limited to the gladiator class. Therefore, some gladiators who were more powerful than the other gladiators had joined the competition. The archer gladiator was one of them. However, the archer's situation was rather special. When facing heavy armor gladiators, the archer would become the Grim Reaper. When facing light armor gladiators, the archer would become the Grim Reaper.
Unfortunately, Zhang Heng's double-bladed gladiator was a light-armored gladiator. To make matters worse, he did not even have a shield on him, and the only helmet he had was thrown into the lounge. In other words, he did not have any defensive equipment.
Therefore, the eyes of the archer gladiator opposite him lit up. He seemed to see the hope of winning. So, he became excited. The person standing in front of him now was the most popular participant in this gladiatorial show. He was the focus of all the audience. If he could kill Zhang Heng, he would undoubtedly become famous. Even if he failed to win this gladiatorial show, he would still be famous in Rome.
Since he could not become a legend, it would not be bad to be a legendary terminator.
So when the referee gestured for him to start, he immediately drew an arrow and put it on the bowstring.
And his opponent, Zhang Heng, was the same as the previous battles. He did not make any special preparations. All he did was to rush toward the archer gladiator.
The archer gladiator could not believe his eyes. Was there still such an upright person in this world?
However, the closer he was to victory, the calmer he told himself to be. He did not even shoot the arrow in his hand immediately. Instead, he deliberately waited for Zhang Heng to get closer to him. Now, the distance between the two was less than ten steps. To the archer gladiator, it was almost impossible for him to miss.
So he finally released the bowstring that he aimed at his target.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Heng also moved. He also possessed Level 2 archery skills. He could roughly determine where the arrow would land just by observing his opponent's movements. Of course, he still relied on his Level 4 swordsmanship. Zhang Heng did not even stop moving. All he did was swing his sword casually.
In the next moment, his blade accurately chopped the arrowhead flying towards him.
With a clang, the incoming arrow was deflected by Zhang Heng.
And the archer gladiator on the opposite side was completely dumbfounded.
How could this happen?! He did not even seize the last opportunity to shoot another arrow. He just stood there in a daze, seemingly giving up on struggling. This was probably the most fatal mistake a gladiator had made since the start of the competition. However, no one in the audience blamed him for being passive. That was because everyone who saw this scene was stunned without exception.
It was not until Zhang Heng rushed in front of the archer gladiator and put the Persian sword in his hand on the latter's neck that the latter realized that he had been eliminated. However, compared to this incident, the scene just now had a greater impact on him. It even destroyed his confidence and common sense.
And when Sartonilos and the others saw this scene, they were even more convinced of their previous speculation. The easterner in front of them must be the incarnation of a certain god. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why he was so ridiculously strong.
With that thought in mind, Sartonilos and the others' morale plummeted again. Facing an ordinary opponent in front of them, they almost lost.
