I Became a Gladiator in the World of Gender Reversal

26 – Rookie Gladiator-12

The battle continued. My physical strength was declining, and I hadn’t been able to approach Mari yet.

However, it seemed that I would gradually realize the solution.

“Evan can’t even get close to it! But, defeat hasn’t been decided yet! No fatal damage from Mari yet!”

The sound of the moderator’s relay echoed. He was right.

Even if I go in a bit recklessly, Marie eventually has no means of countering the charge other than hoisting her pitchfork up or down to hang my leg.

Other than that, all she can do is poke my chest into the center of her pitchfork.

However, objectively, the shock the attack inflicted on me was not that great. It was just difficult to break through or dodge it and run forward.

“Haaa!”

I resumed the charge I had tried several times. As always, Marie extended the pitchfork and blocked my attack.

“Now!”

Although moving forward is difficult, it is not difficult to take other actions.

The medium-sized shield held in my left hand could have been held by hand, but it could also be secured with a string tied to the wrist.

I tried several times to charge after blocking with a shield, but it didn’t work very well. Even though Mari seemed to be pushed away, the distance between her and me didn’t narrow in the end.

But now, after a fierce battle, that string was a little loose.

Objectively, it was a risk. The root of the problem was that it was loosely fixed because it would be cumbersome. You’ll need to keep this strap tight for your next fight.

However, I was able to use this now.

“Suck!”

After slightly twisting my wrist to let the armor slide down my arm, I grabbed the fork by the neck with my freed left hand.

“Uh, huh?”

Marie looked at me with her puzzled face. After all, even if it’s her, she can’t help but be embarrassed by this attack…

“aaa! Write…”

It stung. There were small thorns embedded in the wooden part of the pitchfork she was using.

Come to think of it, there are probably not one or two people who think like me. It was a lack of experience.

Fortunately, the distance between her and her was wide enough, so there was no counterattack from her right away.

“Kuh…”

However, blood flowed from my left hand. It was thrilling, but there was no need to use the palm right away.

After making her gesticulate as if she were about to charge again, causing her to backtrack, she hurriedly grounded her sword and tied her shield back to her hand.

I got a small injury, but I have to think that I am back to the beginning.

Still, the direction itself was not wrong. Had she been more lightly armed, she might have been able to push at her speed, but it would be reckless for her to fight her at her speed versus her speed.

We have to attack that pitchfork somehow. If not, I should make her move first instead of running away, even by exposing my weakness.

“Go!”

Letting out her roar again, I lunged at her.

As she rushed forward with her shield, Marie tried to defend herself, which she had tried again and again.

“Huh!”

And then, with the shield removed, I held out my sword. The sword was entangled in that day.

Actually, it is reckless. Because the pulling power of the pitchfork she held would be stronger than the pulling power of my sword.

However, there was only one thing I believed in. That my strength is stronger than hers.

“Kuk!”

To some extent, it was possible to fight like a fight. It was not supported by a struggle.

However, within seconds my sword bounced off. It was a daunting task beyond my imagination.

My sword, bent in a clumsy position, could only be supported by the force applied to my wrist.

As soon as the sword caught, he threw the sword around his waist and pulled it with both hands on his weight, unable to withstand Marie’s pitchfork.

“It’s the last time!”

Her pitchfork moved without missing an opportunity. I trusted my shield and ran as fast as I could.

It was no small chance for her that I dropped her weapon. However, she didn’t rush to grab her sword.

At a close distance, I wouldn’t have been certain that I could fight with my strength and win.

Armor not only blocks blades, but also blocks the destructive power of fists.

No, if it was a sword or a spear, you could stab it to give a shock. Hitting the armor with your fist is an act that does more harm than good.

Although it is said that there is a scythe, we cannot be certain that it will be effective in an urgent situation where we are fighting each other for the sword.

Even if I swing it, it will end up giving me a shock unless I aim for the gap in the armor accurately.

There is no reason for her to take such a risk as she is already having fun with her range advantage.

However, if I take the time to backtrack here, I will end up holding the sword so comfortably.

So what she chose was to hold her pitchfork a bit short and strike it right where her sword landed.

“I was expecting it!”

However, from the time she readjusted her hand to hold her weapon, I had her shield over her head.

As soon as she managed to grab the sword, her pitchfork plunged into her head.

It’s a precious time. It narrowed the distance to a distance that had never been reached before.

There was no time to withstand the shock. I used the acceleration I was running at as it was, and rushed into Marie’s body.

“It’s quite…”

“I have to do this much!”

She pulled on her pitchfork. However, considering the pitchfork already driven into the ground and her position, the attack had to be linear.

I ran to the line of sight and avoided that attack, and finally I was able to put Marie’s body within the gap between the swords.

“Take it!”

This time, I couldn’t avoid it.

Her leg was not cut off with a single sword strike. It wasn’t her sword that cut her, but the magic at the tip of her blade that cut her, and even if she put more power into it, the wound wouldn’t deepen indefinitely.

However, it definitely went in. The sword that cut off his left leg created a steady wound.

Moreover, a huge shock went into it beyond the wounds the sword had inflicted. Allowing her to attack, she stumbled, dropping her pitchfork and dropping her to her knees.

His posture was disturbed. He swung her sword again, striking her in the stomach.

“Kyaaah!”

Her clothes that were covering her body were cut off. Her body was exposed, but it was not an easy fight to the point of being distracted by it.

You have to take her down now. Still, she was struggling to block my attack by moving the handle of the pitchfork. The will to fight did not weaken.

An opportunity like this will never come again. If I allowed her to hit even once and she increased the distance again, she could never catch up this time.

It’s breathtaking. My stamina, which I rushed through several times while wearing heavy armor, would barely remain once or twice even if I did well.

The left leg, which had been hit once, was stabbed again, and the moment I was about to deliver the last blow, I felt a huge pain in my side.

“Kwaaah!”

Before he could react, a scream erupted from his mouth.

It was a scythe. At the last moment, Marie displayed her fighting spirit and threw the scythe she had tied around her waist into my side.

It wasn’t even stabbed by hand. She threw her scythe like a boomerang through a small gap in her armor and stabbed it.

No matter how much I promised to live as a gladiator, my essence was a modern man.

Modern people who have never been hit with a knife in their entire life, and are horrified by the fact that their fingers are cut on paper, looking for ointment and bandages.

In an unexpected situation, the sharp feeling of muscle splitting was an unbearable pain.

No, maybe I could have endured it. May have had to endure.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, Marie hurriedly distanced herself from her, grabbing her pitchfork.

It was fortunate that the next attack did not follow. No, maybe she could have fought back when approached.

Even if that wasn’t the case, I didn’t miss the sword even though I was in pain. She must have suffered many wounds too, and her scythe was stuck in my body and just fell off.

It would have taken too much time to retrieve her pitchfork and attack me with it.

“Whoa, ha…”

Fortunately, the blood I shed soaked through the leg guards. Daisy will not be criticized for spilling blood.

However, you have to get used to it. One day you will have to take off your armor, because at that time your body will be covered in blood everywhere.

If I was going to fall out without enduring this much pain, I never thought I would become a gladiator in the first place.

“It stings quite a bit, but this hurt a bit, newbie?”

“You’re not kidding either, I didn’t know you would throw it there and hit it.”

In a way, it was a desperate situation.

Time passed, and the more sweaty the clothes were, the heavier the armor was. You won’t be able to show strong movements like the first time you fought.

However, it was not without income. My side still hurts, but it’s not an unbearable wound.

The scythe cut through my body quite deeply. Perhaps, it was not because of the blade of the scythe, but because of the magic on the scythe.

Even if not enough force is applied, it has the power to cut the body.

“Then, come and see!”

However, despite the tired and scarred state of my body, I was able to regain my composure.

Mari, who proudly held the pitchfork with both hands, had numerous wounds already on her body.

Blood was slowly oozing from the wound on his stomach, but more importantly, the wound on his left leg.

She can no longer move freely.
