The story of the black silk female knight

Chapter 131 Novice Adventurer VS Mutant Goblin

As the name suggests, the gladiator betting project consists of two parts: gladiator fighting and betting.

The two sides fought fiercely in the arena, and the audience placed bets based on odds and preferences. This was a form of entertainment that nobles had enjoyed for a long time.

The gladiatorial games organized by the Nora Merchant Guild are purely commercial in nature, and the selection of gladiators is naturally based on the audience's preferences.

Compared to the blood-soaked, wild men, the beautiful girls with their clothes torn in battle are definitely more likely to bring in more revenue for the organizers.

So, for a long time now, most of the gladiators in the Nora Merchant Guild have been beautiful girls... and all of them have hot bodies and wear revealing clothes.

Most of these beautiful female gladiators participate in gladiatorial combat voluntarily to earn money, because the Nora Chamber of Commerce offers very high salaries.

Defeating the same monster in the arena for show often yields three to five times the income of hunting it in the jungle, plus medical care, making it far better than being an adventurer.

However, being a commercial gladiator isn't easy; besides ability, looks, physique, and even acting skills are also important.

Valensa had seen many commercial gladiatorial matches before, and she thought the opening match of this gladiatorial betting would also be two beautiful girls tearing each other's clothes to shreds.

The result was unexpected. The first thing to appear on the aerial magic projection was not the beautiful female gladiators, but two ferocious-looking monsters.

One of them is a flaming saber-toothed lion with fiery red fur and long, sharp teeth.

It was a giant tiger covered in solid blue ice.

Both are Lighthouse-level monsters, and the kind that are quite dangerous... Even Valensa would have a hard time winning against them one-on-one.

The opening match featuring two monsters like these was certainly no less exciting than a fight between beautiful girls, as evidenced by the shouts and cheers from the crowd. Even Valensa was immediately intrigued, her eyes glued to the magical projection in the sky.

The two monsters quickly engaged in a fierce battle, which immediately escalated into a heated fight. They attacked each other mercilessly, with the power of fire and ice colliding and splashing everywhere in the arena.

As the battle began, the audience became even more excited and didn't hesitate to spend money, even if it meant emptying their wallets, to bet on their favorite side.

The result was somewhat unexpected.

Although the Fiery Saber-Toothed Lion successfully pierced the Ice Armored Tiger with its large fangs, it was also unable to move because its fangs were stuck in the Ice Armored Tiger's body.

Before dying, the Ice Armored Tiger unleashed a frenzied outburst, freezing the Flaming Saber-toothed Lion completely with its raging ice, and the two monsters went their separate ways.

Everyone who bet on the Flaming Saber-Toothed Lion or the Ice-Armored Giant Tiger lost; only the Nora Merchant Guild, acting as the bookmaker, made a fortune… which can be considered a form of wage recovery.

After the opening match, the second match was the highly anticipated battle between beautiful girls and monsters.

Especially since neither side is particularly strong, around the candlelight level, it allows viewers to see many exciting details of the match more clearly.

The girl's side consisted of three people, each carrying a long spear, a short bow, and a staff, and all dressed as poor, novice adventurers.

The armor worn by the beautiful girl with the long spear is very similar to the style worn by Valensa, but her armor is obviously not as good as Valensa's armor. Underneath the armor, she is not wearing a lace lining or black pantyhose, but rather her fair and delicate girlish skin.

The short-bowed beauty was wearing tight-fitting leather armor... especially the upper part, which was particularly tight, and even the neckline was slightly unstitched, making it look like it would burst open with the slightest force.

The last staff-wielding beauty was dressed quite formally, her body completely covered by an apprentice's robe, but even the most conservative clothing couldn't hide her exaggerated figure... especially the two parts that swayed when she walked, which even made Valensa a little jealous.

This size... I doubt even a basketball player from my past life could handle it with one hand.

While Valensa was lost in thought, staring at the beautiful girl, the battle began.

The three beautiful girls' opponent is a mutated goblin with ogre blood. Unlike ordinary goblins, which are only about half a meter tall, this goblin is about five meters tall and is only wearing a pair of shorts. With its standard goblin green skin, it is practically a Hulk.

The staff-wielding beauty immediately launched a large water ball at the mutated goblin's head, but it only made the mutated goblin shake its head and become even more energetic, as if it had just washed its face.

Unwilling to give up, the beautiful girl with the staff waved her staff again while chanting a spell, but the mutated goblin did not intend to stand there and take the beating. Instead, it charged towards the girls.

The long-spear girl and the short-bow girl also sprang into action immediately, buying time for their companion to cast a spell.

The short-bowed beauty unleashed a double volley of arrows, aiming straight for the mutated goblin's eyes. The long-spear beauty charged forward, thrusting her spear towards the mutated goblin's heart.

However, it was completely useless.

The mutated goblin simply lowered its head slightly, causing the arrows that were originally aimed at its eyes to strike its forehead, leaving only shallow wounds before the arrows fell limply to the ground.

The spear-wielding beauty who charged head-on fared even worse; she was grabbed by the spear tip by a mutated goblin, lifted up, and then slammed heavily to the ground.

Snapped!

The beautiful girl with the long spear was thrown around and saw stars. Her cheap armor was also shattered, with large pieces falling off, leaving only a few small pieces protecting her most vital parts, but it looked like it wouldn't last much longer.

Valensa could clearly feel the breathing of the surrounding audience suddenly become heavy. Many men were staring intently at the few remaining pieces of armor on the spear-wielding beauty, perhaps silently cheering on the mutated goblin to keep going.

The mutated goblin did indeed continue to move, but it was not the same species as humans, and coupled with differences in aesthetics and reproductive isolation, it had absolutely no interest in beautiful girls.

It was simply following the instincts of its cannibalistic bloodline, grabbing the spear-wielding beauty in front of it and opening its mouth as if preparing to eat her alive.

At the crucial moment, the staff-wielding beauty finally finished chanting her second spell, a wind magic of considerable strength. It used a rotating updraft to lift the mutated goblin into the air, causing it to lose its balance and rendering its strength useless.

The short-bowed beauty took the opportunity to keep shooting arrows. Most of the arrows only left shallow wounds on the mutated goblin before sliding off, but some arrows were firmly embedded in the mutated goblin's body.

The mutated goblin then released the spear-wielding beauty who had almost become a monster's meal, allowing the three beauties to regroup and regroup.

The staff-wielding beauty's wind magic didn't last long before it ended, and the mutated goblin, which had crashed heavily to the ground, was unable to move for a while and needed time to recover.

This was clearly a perfect opportunity to finish off the enemy, but none of the three beautiful female gladiators made a move. Instead, they struck idol-like poses and started winking and blowing kisses to the audience.

Chapter 132 Is this the power of money?

"We're a group of rookie adventurers, so please give us your support, dear viewers!~~"

After striking a few poses, the three gladiator beauties made a heart shape with their hands together to promote themselves.

Taking advantage of this time, the mutated goblin finally recovered from the dizziness of falling from a great height and launched another attack on the three beautiful female gladiators with a strange cry.

"It's time to deliver the final blow!"

"It's coming!"

"It's time to do that!"

The three beautiful female gladiators remained calm, striking poses and reciting lines as they unleashed a deadly combo on the mutated goblin.

The short-bowed beauty fired a rapid burst of arrows, each one locking onto the joints of the mutated goblin.

The staff-wielding beauty simultaneously cast a spell, using compressed air to precisely hit each arrow, boosting its power and accelerating it a second time.

The charging mutated goblin couldn't dodge or block the bullets; its limbs were pierced one by one, and it could only fall to the ground screaming in agony.

Meanwhile, the beautiful girl with the spear, who had just suffered the most, charged forward and plunged her spear into the mutated goblin's mouth, twisting and turning it violently.

The mutated goblin, whose head had been pierced through its mouth, struggled a few more times before finally ceasing to move.

"Oh ho~~"

Various shouts echoed throughout the resort. Some people cheered because they had won money, some simply because the gladiator was entertaining, and some even felt sorry that the beautiful female gladiator had won so quickly.

Seemingly having heard the somewhat dark thoughts of many, the three beautiful female gladiators who defeated the mutated goblin did not leave the arena immediately, but instead fought two more monsters in succession.

The girl with the long spear was brutally beaten by the mutated goblin in the first battle, and her clothes were torn. The other two people had similar experiences in the next two battles.

The leather armor on the upper body of the short-bowed beauty was completely torn apart, and the robe of the staff-wielding beauty was also tattered.

All three of them were practically naked, yet they were all laughing heartily… According to their agreement with the Nora Merchant Guild, the more they exposed themselves and the worse they were beaten in battle, the higher their reward would be. This way, they would undoubtedly make a fortune.

The subsequent gladiatorial matches were all similar.

There are battles between monsters, battles between beauties and monsters, and battles between beauties. Every battle is exciting and worth watching, making people's blood boil and many people's voices become hoarse from shouting.

Valensa and Tia met up and confirmed that the audience at the arena had been successfully switched. They then continued to keep an eye on the magical projection in mid-air while searching for the whereabouts of the beautiful auctioneer, Lan Zhi.

Finally, as a stunning figure and a colossal creature appeared simultaneously, the cheers and screams from the audience reached their peak.

Just as Valensa had predicted, the young lady Yashiro did indeed choose to personally appear in her own gladiator show, and was about to challenge an extremely ferocious monster.

Rock Bear.

This is a monster with peak strength at the Lighthouse level, even stronger than the Flaming Saber-toothed Lion and Ice Armored Giant Tiger in the opening match. It has a huge body that is almost ten stories high, and an earth-attribute hard armor that can make it immune to most attacks.

Even if this monster stands still and lets Valensa attack it, she would have a hard time breaking through its defenses... probably only the Dragon Fang Short Sword could do that.

Yashiro is a few years older than Valensa, and Valensa knew from their first meeting that Yashiro was stronger than her, and that he must have been in the Lighthouse for two or three years.

Even with lighthouse-level strength, challenging the Rock Bear alone is still too dangerous, especially since Yashiro is a fighter, making him even more disadvantaged against the Rock Bear.

And that was indeed the case. Yashiro's initial barrage of punches and flying kicks had little effect on the Rock Bear. The massive body only swayed slightly before retaliating by slapping Yashiro back.

Yashiro's dodging speed was definitely not slow, but the Rock Bear's claws were too big and the force it used was also very strong. Even if it only grazed the area slightly, it could still cause damage.

Sizzle~~

With the sound of fabric being torn, Yashiro's orange dress instantly turned into several pieces, which fluttered to the ground of the arena.

"Miss!!"

Many employees of the Nora Chamber of Commerce cried out, expressing both worry and excitement.

The worry is naturally that of an employee concerned about their boss, while the excitement is outwardly honest... Who wouldn't love to see a stunningly beautiful woman with her clothes ripped off?

However, everyone who wanted to see Yashiro's private parts exposed was disappointed... Almost the instant her orange dress was torn apart, a dazzling magical light enveloped Yashiro.

When the light faded, Yashiro was wearing a complete set of fighter equipment, and it was clearly the kind that was very valuable.

The tight-fitting soft armor was covered with various magical runes, which could greatly enhance Yashiro's body. His main weapon was a pair of golden arm armors that also served as gauntlets... In particular, the gauntlets were inlaid with many magic crystals, which easily reminded Valensa of the snap of fingers in the movie from her previous life that wiped out half of the universe.

In addition, there was a set of delicate rings strung together with thin silver chains around Yashiro's neck, arms and legs. They looked like the kind of small toys used when dating a lover, but more likely they were also a deadly weapon.

After Yashiro changed his clothes, he fought the Rock Bear again, and the scene was completely different from when Yashiro was being unilaterally suppressed.

This time, Yashilo actually gained the upper hand... Her size was incredibly small compared to the Rock Bear, yet every attack she delivered caused the Rock Bear to stagger and sway, letting out angry and helpless roars.

"If I rely solely on my own strength, I absolutely cannot defeat you... but crafting various equipment from materials is also part of human strength, so go with peace of mind."

After delivering another downward kick that left the Rock Bear dizzy and disoriented, Yashiro took a deep breath, gathered his strength, and unleashed his final strike.

One of the magic crystals on her golden gauntlets lit up, then shattered completely, turning into a brownish-yellow light that flowed across Yashiro's entire body.

Roar!

Amidst the deafening roar, the phantom of a golden lion appeared behind Yashiro, then transformed into light, slamming into the Rock Bear with Yashiro's fist.

"Crush me from the inside! Beast King Shockwave Fist!"

*Pfft!* *Boom boom boom!* *Whoosh whoosh.*

The Rock Bear immediately froze on the spot, but its body was making a constant rumbling sound like thunder. Finally, its two eyeballs could not withstand the burst of power within its body and shot out like bullets.

The enormous monster, whose entire internal structure had been completely destroyed, could no longer hold on and collapsed with a thud amidst Yashiro's slight panting.

Having defeated a formidable enemy that most Beacon-level cultivators would find difficult to defeat solo, Yashiro naturally waved to everyone in the magical projection, his smile hearty and joyful.

But many of the Nora Chamber of Commerce employees, who were intently watching the projection, suddenly changed their expressions and their voices became filled with panic:

"Young Miss, watch out!!"

Chapter 133 Me, the Mouse, I'm the Most Jealous!

Behind Yashiro, the Rock Bear that she had already killed suddenly exploded.

Countless fist-sized black shadows shot out from the corpse of the Rock Bear and struck Yashiro's back.

Yashilo turned around and unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks, sending several of the shadowy figures flying. However, he still couldn't completely defend against the sneak attack and was hit by the shadowy figure several times, staggering back dozens of meters.

At this moment, the explosion of the Rock Bear's corpse finally ended, and people were able to see clearly what had been shot out from the Rock Bear's body.

Rats, all of them are rats.

Sometime during the night, the Rock Bear's body was hollowed out from the inside by these rats. Now, each rat is covered in rich earth elemental energy, and its fur is incredibly tough.

How could a rat suddenly wander into a perfectly good gladiator performance?

Is this also part of the performance?

Those who were unaware of the situation were confused, while those who knew became tense... The reveler, Gray Rat, who had been hiding in the shadows, had finally made his move.

However, the gray rat itself has not yet appeared. Currently, the only ones attacking Yashiro in the arena are the hundreds of rats that ate the Rock Bear.

These rats are certainly not as strong individually as the Rock Bears, but their sheer number makes them a greater threat when they launch a coordinated group attack.

In addition, these rats had just eaten the Rock Bear, and their physical strength was greatly enhanced by the earth elemental power, making them more resistant to attacks. Even if they were kicked away by Yashiro, they would not feel any pain, and could roll on the ground and return to the rat swarm to participate in the battle.

Fortunately, Yashiro's soft armor was strong enough that it showed no signs of damage even after being hit by the cannonball-like rats multiple times. Instead, the rats' teeth would break when they were bitten.

But this can't go on forever... Yashilo's strength is being depleted, and her breathing is now noticeably heavier than before.

Yashiro knew he couldn't fight a prolonged battle with a group of summoned creatures, so he used his ultimate move again.
