Chapter 132: Karishan becomes shareholder of the Death Arena

Chapter 132: Karishan becomes shareholder of the Death Arena
Going back a little further in time, to the last day of March in the year 1236 of the Iron Calendar, Ash came to the Manger Arena. He was greeted by a slim waitress, but the bald burly man from last time was nowhere to be seen.

Ash didn't care about this. He just picked up the cup full of blood that the waitress brought over and drank it in one gulp.

This is the feedback the agent longs for. In the past, they could share the profits equally with the gladiators, but now, no one dares to offend him or talk about any unspoken rules.

Ash drank it, and [Seventh Sin: Gluttony] instinctively wanted to digest it, but Ash suppressed this instinct.

Because this cup of blood is the certificate for entering a higher-level arena. If it is completely digested, he probably won't be able to enter.

The blood entered the body and then merged into it. Ash felt that his blood spirit clone had an instinct rising up, as if it wanted to go somewhere.

Following his instinct, the clone began to walk towards somewhere. As he walked, he saw a blood-red sun rising in the distance.

When he came to his senses, he was already standing in front of a bloodstained gate.

"Is this a ritual-like teleportation method?" Ash thought to himself, and then walked into the gate without hesitation.

"You're quite brave. You weren't scared at all." A hoarse voice came from the side.

Ash turned his head and saw a scarred man wrapped in black cloth with only his scarred face exposed.

As for what he just said, it refers to the shock of fear that takes effect immediately upon seeing the blood-red gate. However, for Ash, this is a weak attack that can be ignored, so Ash didn't care at all.

Ash looked at the scarred man quietly, feeling that he might have something else to say.

"Come with me, Demon Gladiator." The scarred man led the way for Ash.

"This is Arena No. 13. Your luck is either good or bad." Scarface explained as he walked. "The good thing is that the King of the Arena has not yet been decided. You still have a chance."

"The bad thing is that this is the last arena that has not yet decided the King of the Arena, so all the other arenas that have a chance to compete for the King of the Arena will come here. The competition here is extremely fierce."

"Looking at you, it seems that you are not prepared to let us gladiators go back?" Ash asked.

The scarred man stopped and looked at Ash, and asked in a surprised tone: "Didn't the person who sent you in tell you?"

"What?" Ash narrowed his eyes.

"Hahaha, looks like you've been tricked, kid." The scarred man laughed unpleasantly. "This is where Khorne trains talents. Do you think you can get out after knowing this information?"

"It looks like we can't get out." Ash nodded, but there was no panic on his face. After all, he had guessed this result a long time ago.

"If you want to get out, fight to the death. When there are no more people left to die, you can get out." The scarred man pushed open a door. "This is your room for now. If you want something better, fight to the death. The more people die, the better your treatment will be."

"Got it." Ash looked at Scarface, "How do you start a death fight? Find someone to arrange it?"

"Just shout out loud that you want to fight to the death. If you shout today, someone will arrange for you to fight to the death tomorrow." Scarface replied, "By the way, how many consecutive wins did you have when you came in?"

"Ten consecutive wins." Ash said.

Scarface nodded: "Then it seems that you can live longer. Here we match people based on winning streaks. Ten consecutive wins is so low, so you can match more weak gladiators."

As he spoke, it was obvious that he regarded Ash as a strong gladiator, because the shock of fear at the door would stun most of the gladiators who came in for three or four seconds.

Someone like Ash who ignored it without even taking a second to do so is definitely not a weakling by any stretch of the imagination.

But whether he can be called a strong man here is debatable. After all, only a gladiator who has won at least seventy consecutive games can be called a strong man here.

"I want to fight to the death." After shouting loudly, Ash sat on the bed and fell asleep. Because his main consciousness was still facing the "sword" at this time, he tried to save energy as much as possible.

But before that, there is one more thing to do.

Ash put this part of his consciousness into his second body.

The second body, which was originally dormant, immediately stood up, glanced at the rising sun, and began to act quickly.

The next day, a major case occurred in Hongshan City. Hundreds of people disappeared. Judging from the traces, they were taken away without much resistance.

The only person with the heaviest traces was Debussy, the owner of the Mangue Arena. Many of the furniture were seriously damaged, but there was not a drop of blood left at the scene.

Even if divination was used, no information could be obtained, and the person doing the divination might even suffer backlash and almost lose his life.

After collecting information on the missing persons, the Hongshan City officials discovered that they were all people related to the Manger Arena, and that almost all the important figures had disappeared, with only a few people who were on vacation in other places lucky enough to have survived.

The officials of Hongshan City knew that the Manger Arena probably offended the wrong people, and thus disappeared completely.

On the other side, the door of Ash's room was knocked. When he opened the door, a skeleton stood there with a sign that read "Follow me. If you exceed the time limit, you will be punished."

Below this sentence, there is a line that is gradually disappearing.

Ash followed the skeleton and soon came to a lounge. There were rules written on the wall, indicating that anything here could be used as a weapon.

Ash waited quietly until the door on the other side suddenly opened.

He walked in and passed through a not-so-short tunnel, and then he heard some chaotic noises.

Ash glanced around and found that the viewing platform was full of people. They couldn't be called people, they were all skeletons, but when their mouths opened and closed, they could make sounds, and the sounds were different. There were old people, men, and women.
Through his [Fire Eyes], Ash quickly understood what was going on. Behind each skeleton was a living person, who was watching the battle by possessing the skeletons.

Ash looked across and saw a man with a long braid and tattoos on his shoulders slowly walking out of the passage.

A warrior of Nogvar?

Ash recognized where he was from. He had tattoos on both shoulders, which was a custom of a martial country called Nogwa in the north of the world. Combined with his long braids, he must be from Nogwa without a doubt.

"It seems to be from all over the world?"

Ash thought to himself, silently waiting for the death match to begin.

A horn sounded, and the Nogwa warriors on the opposite side rushed towards Ash.

Ash looked at the heart in his sight and then squeezed it gently.

boom!
There was a muffled sound coming from the Nogwa warrior's body, and then he fell to the ground, his heart had been crushed.

Ash turned and walked away, ignoring the audience's cries of "Chop off his head!"

He is here to accomplish something, not to be a monkey for others to see.

Leaving the passage, a skeleton handed him a red card with the number fifteen written on the front in dark red handwriting.

The back side explains that the numbers represent blood points, which can only be obtained through death fights. By spending blood points, he can obtain better living supplies and even directly improve his strength.

He came at the right time. He was worrying about how to teleport his real body in. After all, in order to prevent accidents, this clone had no resources at all. This gave him an opportunity.

The next step is to wait for the main body to wake up.
-
In the tree house, the sober Ash was feeling where the blood spirit clone was going.

He frowned because he didn't feel it in this world.

"In the demiplane?"

Tapping his fingers on his knees, Ash pondered over a way to get in. In the end, he came to the conclusion that he could only wait until his blood spirit clone obtained a material that was sufficient to carry out inter-dimensional teleportation, and then he could [teleport] in.

Otherwise, if he tried to crack the entry method in other ways, as a half-baked person like him, he would definitely alert the real owner of the demiplane.

With the strength of the Blood Spirit clone, it should be able to hold on until the time comes to obtain materials.

"Sister Ye Lin, what are your chances of winning against the divine incarnation of Khorne?" asked Ash.

"It depends on the situation." Ye Lin said, "When it's dark, I have a high chance of winning. During the day, I have a high chance of losing. This is when neither side is at home."

"What about the two chosen ones?" Ash said, then shook his head, "No, two chosen ones are still a little unsafe, let's have three chosen ones."

"If three gods choose to fight on His home turf, can He win?" Yaxiu asked Ye Lin.

"Yes." Ye Lin nodded, and then asked: "What did you find?"

"Did you know that Khorne has a base dedicated to selecting gladiators?" said Yashu.

Ye Lin thought for a moment and said, "I have an impression. It should be called the Death Arena. The church sent people to investigate, but there was no news. Have you found out?"

"My clone entered a half plane, which should be the death arena you mentioned, because everything there is a fight to the death." Ash said.

Ye Lin raised an eyebrow: "Can you let us in?"

"It's hard to say." Ash shook his head. "We have to wait. Before that, let's gather the three chosen ones first."

"You're the only one now, and I don't know if Karisan is willing to go. Even if she is, we're still short of one person. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Karisan should go." Ye Lin thought, "For the rest, we can find someone from the True Wisdom Church."

The True Wisdom Church is a subordinate church of the True Wisdom God, one of the Five Righteous Gods.

They also take on the main force in clearing out the Church of Khorne, because they advocate sincerity and wisdom, and they despise the reckless people in Khorne who just chop people down when they can't win an argument. They are considered the church that restrains Khorne the most.

Well, it is also the church most hated by the Dawn Church, because in their eyes, all the members of the Dawn Church are reckless.

In addition, they are not very popular all over the world because they really cannot lie, and the truth is sometimes the sharpest knife.

"Do you have any recommendations?" Ash asked.

"Well, no." Ye Lin thought about it and finally shook her head. She didn't like the people from the Zhenhui Church very much either.

"You don't, but I do have one." Karisha walked in. Yaxiu and Ye Lin were talking without avoiding her, so she heard everything.

As for dealing with Khorne, Calisanne has always been more enthusiastic, because this evil god occasionally harassed her and tried to corrupt her, which made her very annoyed.

Ash looked at her: "Who?"

"Unmovable Monk, Aines." said Calisan.

Immovable monk, Einstein? Ash immediately searched the knowledge hall for information and soon found relevant information. The True Wisdom Church advocates wisdom, but that does not mean they do not value the body. They believe that the sharpening of the body helps the growth of wisdom, so there are quite a few clergy in the True Wisdom Church who focus on the body.

The Immovable Monk, Einstein, is the most famous representative among them.

What he loved to do most was to use his unshakable strength to make others listen to his reasoning patiently. What he often said was: reading is for talking to fools calmly; exercising is for fools to talk to him calmly.

"Are you connected to him?" Ash asked curiously.

"Yeah." Karisha nodded, "His granddaughter wanted a piece of clothing, so she came to me."

"Oh, I see." Ash nodded.

As for the fact that Einstein, the chosen one of God, had a granddaughter, he was not too surprised, because this person was a latecomer and had a family before that.

And even if not, it's not a big problem. Warrior monks are not real monks in their previous lives and cannot marry. They are just like laymen and have no taboos about eating meat, drinking alcohol, and sleeping with women.

Of course, it only seems like there is nothing wrong with it. If you are not restrained in doing these things, you will basically not be able to become a qualified monk.

"If you call him now, how long will it take for him to get here?" Ash said.

Karisha said, "Well, it's pretty fast. He's currently in the south. Even if he's slow, it will only take him four or five days to get here."

Ash nodded: "I understand. Tell him not to go too far in the next two or three months. Once I'm sure, I'll tell him to come over."

"Okay." Karishna nodded.

Soon, an old man in loose linen clothes put down his hoe and looked at the flowers that suddenly bloomed in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

What on earth did the Earth Mother think of choosing these people who have been staying at home for thousands of years? They were able to find the death arena, which is really strange. It seems there is still a way to get in.

These people, the chosen ones of God with true wisdom, are still worried about how to get in.

The old man composed a sentence and sent it back, saying that he would wait.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" A beautiful woman in a black gauze dress walked out of a door and stood under the shade of a tree.

She became curious when she saw her grandfather stop moving.

"Nothing, Katyusha, I just had a conversation with a friend." The old man looked at his granddaughter, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and then shook his head and said, "Come into the house, even with this dress protecting you, the wind outside is still a bit strong for you."

"Okay, grandpa." Katyusha wrapped her clothes tightly and walked into the dark wooden house on the side.

Time passed slowly again. Everything in the Blazing Principality, the tree house, the death arena, and Ash's life there was progressing in an orderly manner.

However, the first thing to change was the tree house, where Ash's battle suit was woven.

The clothes have a black base, dark gold edging like a Yinglong pattern, and blood-red embellishments like flowing clouds. Karisan also gave her a pair of shoes of matching style.

"Here, try it on." Carissa handed the woven clothes to Ash.

Ash put it on on the spot
Looking at Ash with his enchanting face and his domineering and handsome combat uniform, the two women present couldn't help but be moved. Ye Lin was still a bit reserved, but Karisan was not reserved at all. She directly picked up Ash and rubbed him, claiming that this was the most beautiful clothes she had ever made.

Because it took Ash ten days to go see "Sword" midway, they still have to stay here for eleven days.

However, now these eleven days have been extended to more than two months. Because the matter of the Blazing Principality is not urgent and it is too troublesome to travel, Ash and Ye Lin decided to resolve the matter of the Death Arena before going back.

Of course, Karisan agreed with this matter, as it meant that she would have more maple syrup, and more time to spend with Ash, the legal handsome boy.

Ash temporarily got rid of Carissa and began to refine this set of combat uniform. Unlike the refining of his innate weapons, the refining of this set of clothes was simpler. He just needed to drop a few drops of blood and then fill it with fighting spirit.

Soon, the suit was refined by Ya Xiu and could be integrated into the body or worn outside the body at will.

Just call it Yunluofu.

Ash named his clothes Yunluo, which means the clouds like a net in the sky.

Summoning the One, Ash tested the defensive capabilities of the Yunluo suit. As expected, it was pierced as easily as a sword piercing ordinary clothes. After all, the One was already an eighth-level suit, and the first six characteristics were all related to sharpness. Its sharpness was unmatched by an ordinary ninth-level suit.

However, with his extremely keen senses, Ash could still tell that the defensive ability of the Yunluo suit was still good, and was considered average among the seventh-level ones. This was already an excellent performance considering the fabric was not stab-proof to begin with.

No wonder Ye Lin recommended Karishan, this cicada is really good.

Ash activated his fighting spirit, and the wound started to heal automatically. This kind of wound, which did not have any cloth missing, could be easily healed by consuming his fighting spirit.

The gaps where fabric is missing require some actual materials to fill.

Ash sorted out his materials, thinking about what materials would be better to feed. The seventh level was still a bit low for him.

Unlike the unique achievement that can help choose characteristics, the characteristics of Yunluo server after upgrading depend on what the main material is.

Although he wanted to get some more special characteristics, Ash's reason still made him choose the most cost-effective characteristic, toughness.

After all, his skills are already fancy enough, so there's no need to do anything fancy with his clothes.

If we talk about toughness, it should be silk and soft metal. Ash looked through the spoils he had obtained so far and fed all these materials in.

However, after feeding everything in, the Yunluo server still did not upgrade.

'Looks like I have to buy some.'

Ash found Karisha, who made clothes and should have channels for these two types of materials.

"I do have a fixed channel for purchasing." Karisan frowned, "But high-end materials are more troublesome. These sales have a fixed quota every year. Based on the quantity you want to buy, my quota this year is not enough, and I can't give you too much, I also need it."

"Okay, just provide the amount you can give first, and I'll slowly figure out the rest." Ash said.

"Okay." Karishna nodded.

Ash spent more than 200,000 gold coins to buy some top-quality materials from Carissa. After feeding Yunluo to the eighth level and producing advanced toughness properties, he used the remaining materials to weave fishing lines.

One hundred thousand kilograms is 1000 tons. Without better materials, it would be impossible to catch such a big fish.

At night, Karisan fell asleep holding Ash as usual.

In the dream world, after Ash killed another rank eight dream beast he had searched for, a message popped up in front of him:
{Achievement: [Eighth-level Dream Beast Nemesis] Achieved, Reward: Achievement Points*29/Innate Skills Significantly Enhanced Once}
{Activate achievement [Ninth-order dream beast nemesis]: Hunt 0/11 ninth-order dream beasts.}
Ash received his reward and thought about which talent to strengthen.

After eliminating those that are not relevant to combat, there aren't many things left that can be strengthened.

His eyes scanned the area, and finally landed in front of the [Female Nemesis].

Ash was eager to make some moves. The unenhanced ones could make him even more powerful. If he were to be strengthened again, he obviously knew what the situation would be like.

Moreover, if I face the Mother Goddess of Earth in the future, this might become a miracle tactic.

Finding an excuse, Ash used this reward on [Female Nemesis].

[Female Nemesis]: Greatly increases the damage of any attack you make against females (counts hermaphrodites, but not asexuals).

Outside, Karisha, who was trying to relieve her psychological pressure and relax herself, suddenly felt that the strange fragrance coming from Ash's side seemed to smell better and even more intoxicating.

After venting her emotions, Karisha wanted to sleep, but found that she couldn't fall asleep at all. It felt like there was a fire burning in her lower abdomen.

In the end, Karisan broke her month-long persistence and did it again, and again.

This made Ash somewhat dissatisfied.

My thighs are comfortable, but after doing it too many times, the skin will be rubbed off.

He opened his eyes and looked into the dazed-looking Karishan's eyes.

This startled Karisha suddenly, and her lust disappeared instantly.

"The power of blood can be played with in this way. You are quite talented in this area, Madam Carisan." Ash said in a frivolous tone.

Karishna wanted to refute, but the evidence was still between her legs. She was not shameless enough to lie with her eyes open.

She opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't say anything.

She didn't say anything, but Ash had something to say: "You feel comfortable by doing this, but I don't feel comfortable. Madam Carisan, how are you going to compensate me?"

"What do you want?" Karisha's tone sounded a little scared, but also a little expectant.

"If you feel comfortable, of course I want to feel comfortable too." Ash lived up to Carissa's expectations and taught her the secret of the word "return".

An even stronger fragrance was transmitted through the liquid, and Karisan's stiff body softened instantly.

When Karishna and her husband were still in their animal form, rubbing their necks together was the limit of their ability to express intimacy. After they became humans, they stayed at home and had no new men.

So when it comes to the deeper meaning of the word "回", Carissa is a complete rookie and is no match for Ash, a seasoned warrior.

A thread turned silver because of the moonlight. Carissa opened her mouth and exhaled hot steam. Her eyes became misty again and her plump body trembled slightly.

She just did it again.

Ash didn't expect that Carissa would behave so cowardly. After all, she had a husband, and she understood the secret just by passing it on orally once.

Ash tapped on Carissa's door with the most convenient thing at the moment: "Do you want me to come in, ma'am?"

"No." Carissa said stubbornly. Even though her lower abdomen was like waves of fire, sweeping over her in waves, she still wanted to maintain the last bit of her modesty.

Ash saw through her disguise and just knocked on the door again and again, then asked again. If she didn't agree, he knocked again for a while and asked again.

Finally, Karisan agreed and cried, with tears streaming down her face.

 Asking for a monthly ticket!
