All through the complete journey, Dale by no means even received a glimpse of the solar, what an unnecessarily ominous place…

“Quantity 13, prepared for his eighth consecutive struggle.”
“Ship him to the armory to get outfitted and put together for the upcoming presentation, make him considerably presentable as properly, do not mess this up, excessive scores are invaluable.”
His voice was chilly and considerably mechanical, nearly as if his replies have been all automated.
He did not even take into consideration them, they only flowed to his lips routinely.
What number of occasions had he stated these phrases earlier than?
“Sure sir… Hm?”
Simply when the guards have been about to pull Dale out of the room, he remained nonetheless, trying on the scribe with a pointy look.
“What are you doing? Transfer!” The guard stated deeply as he tried to drag the chain, solely to appreciate that he couldn’t
It was as if the chains have been tied to a tree impulsively.
“…”
The opposite guard, the one Dale spoke with earlier than, stated nothing, merely taking a look at him with a pointy gaze, his expression hidden beneath his garments and helmet.
Nevertheless, he nonetheless raised his hand to his weapon on his hips, it was unknown if he was appearing his half or actually contemplating retaliating if Dale have been to maneuver.
“I am going to settle for a Loss of life Match, the Eagle Problem.”
Dale lower straight to the core of the matter, taking no time to voice out his true intentions.

“…”
Whereas the guard on his proper appeared ‘drastically’ shocked by this piece of stories, the outdated man didn’t.
“…”
Nevertheless, for the primary time since they entered the room, he stopped writing, elevating his head to have a look at Dale earlier than giving him a easy inspection from head to toe.

“After all, when you lose after profitable the Eagle Problem, then your profitable streak will reset and you will have to do it over again, which isn’t any totally different from demise.”
“That’s… In case your opponent spares you, no warrior would spare somebody who gained 8 fights consecutively, it is a fantastic honor to fall such a robust man.”
“Now… Is that this really your want?” He requested with a lifeless expression as he appeared straight into Dale’s eyes
“It’s however my very own.”
“… Very properly, the dealing with of the match shall change.” He stated as he drew a line on his piece of parchment, stamping it earlier than writing one thing else on it
The outdated man then opened a drawer beneath his desk, pulling out a small rusty bell…
There, Dale noticed a easy set of metallic armor, it wasn’t plate armor that wanted squires to assist set it up, however it was nonetheless considerably cumbersome.
Nothing akin to his Wyverian Ignition, although that may be positioned throughout the identical class as Plate Armor, it was simply that Dale may use the System to completely equip and take away the armor, in any other case he would want a Squire to assist him transfer round.
The metallic armor consisted of a pair of metallic greaves and chainmail pants that lined all of his legs.

The chest piece was the centerpiece of all of it, it had a pleasant design consisting of a number of plates superpositioned above one another, it was cell and considerably mild, however possibly too skinny, a lot so Dale believed he may pierce it along with his finger.
The chest piece additionally had a big emblem painted on its again, it was in a really visibly fluorescent purple coloration, and it shone every time mild was forged onto it, much like site visitors cones within the night time.
Hopefully, this paint wasn’t poisonous…
There was additionally a helmet, it was, by far, essentially the most embellished piece, having plumes protruding of it gloriously… Dale discovered it ridiculous.
A number of items of material and cushioning garments would go beneath all of it, giving Dale the urge to vomit from the scent popping out of them and the seen battle it could be to place all of it on.
‘I might in all probability go higher with just some superficial iron armor than this… However there’s in all probability not a lot that is higher than this anyway.’
For his weapon, Dale was drastically shocked, it did not really appear like a chunk of crap.
It was a spear with an uncommon forked tip within the form of a triangle, hole within the center.
It additionally had a conical metallic tip on the opposite finish, good for poking issues.
The shaft itself was fabricated from wooden however strengthened with metallic rings all through its size.
And naturally, it additionally had some type of material hanging in it, being unusually lengthy, it could seemingly show to be a nuisance slightly than merely a beauty addition.
“Is that this wonderful for you or would you want a pat on the again too?” The impolite man stated with a snort as he checked out Dale
“It’s going to do.”
Dale didn’t waste any time with the impolite man, he had higher issues to do.
“Not a humorous one are ya, properly, because you’re executed, get a transfer on and clear the area! This place is already sizzling and smelly as it’s, I do not want shit-stained slaves making it worse.”
“These youngsters will carry the remainder of your gadgets to you, simply put all of it on and go do what you gotta do.” He stated as he pointed at a gaggle of scribes on the facet
Youngsters round 14 years of age, their expressions have been chilly and stoic, it appeared they have been all too conversant in this shithole of a spot and its grasp.
“Now, I want to arrange the opposite one’s tools, don’t fret, I am going to be certain all the pieces is “truthful”.” He stated with a chuckle as he left for the doorway
“…”
Dale actually wished to punch him within the face, however ultimately, he moved to the facet, placing on his tools with the assistance of the children earlier than leaving with the guards to the Enviornment.
It was time to finish this and get promoted to the ranks of an precise Gladiator, to expertise the true price of this Reminiscence shard.
In any case, for one thing price nearly 1.5 Million Favor, it needed to include some type of secret to make such a daft worth price it.
Although Dale additionally knew that typically, not all issues have been price pursuing, there wasn’t all the time mild on the finish of the tunnel…
Typically they have been simply there to fuck you over, similar to that impolite man…
Dale wasn’t petrified of his possibilities, he was extraordinarily assured, and that was why he solely requested for a spear earlier than, which was all the pieces he wanted.
His power could have fallen, however he may handle just a few thugs.
Not losing any further time, he would enter this Enviornment as a slave and go away as a free man.
