Chapter 39: Most Valued Ability
Once she had announced the first case, one of the gladiators stepped forward.
He was in the B class.
Just like the others, he had on a mask to cover his face. "The last time we executed the plan on escaping the arena, the gladiators had not even made it past the demon city when they were caught by the magistri. That special ability of his is just incredible. Unless we can somehow overcome it, we are all prisoners here."
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit dragged in spirit.
It was obvious that the morale of the gladiators had just been badly affected.
The truth was that these gladiators had already found a way out of this place.
However, finding a way out of the arena was not the same as finding a way out of the jaws of demons.
After all, this arena was right in the center of a Demon city.
This was a city of flesh-eaters. Any human that was so much as mistakenly seen on the street would be gobbled up as a snack.
Now, it was not that the gladiators were not strong. Especially those that were in the higher classes. However, was it possible for the strength of a few gladiators to conquer over ten thousand demons?
There was also the problem of the magistri's abilities. From what had just been said, the magistri had a terrifying ability that covered all of the arena. The moment a farm animal attempts to escape, the person is hunted and flared up like a barbecue for the others to learn from his mistake.
Lenny had to give some credit to these gladiators. When E7007 asked if he wanted to be free, he did not know that the plan had gone so far down the line.
Generations upon generations of humans had already laid down sacrifices and a path for their future generations to take.
Human beings have always been as tenacious as cockroaches.
This was a fact that was displaying itself even in the post-apocalypse.
It was not hard for Lenny to figure out that the demons that acted as guards in the arena mainly were just there for show. Unless, of course, it is absolutely necessary.
The real trap that prevented the humans from leaving was the magistri's power and the city of hungry demons outside.
Lenny looked around. He had tried to activate surveyor on the heads of many of these gladiators, but from the D class upwards, his surveyor could not read their strength.
This meant that they were several times stronger than he was.
If these guys could not get out, then how was he supposed to do it?
What's more, he even had a duty from Lucifer Morningstar himself to hunt all demons.
Lenny was starting to feel the pressure of this task on his shoulders.
It was so much that his body shook a little, and Pocket, who was standing beside him, looked at him with a frown.
Even though Lenny was shaking, it was not out of fear. Rather, it was in the sheer excitement of what was to come.
"So many sinners to slaughter," he muttered lowly.
"Unless we come up with a solution for the Magistri," the B-class gladiator turned to the crowd," we won't be able to leave this place."
Some people murmured lowly. But no one spoke up.
The lady hosting the event lifted the staff in her hands and hammered it on the ground.
*DOOM!*
The entire cavern suddenly went silent.
She looked around and said, "This problem is not just a person's problem. It is for all of us. If anyone has a solution that could be of benefit, step forward and speak."
She waited a while, but there was still no one.
Her eyes scanned the environment, but it was still the same.
Just then she stepped forward a bit and asked, "And what about the lower classes?"
Those of the lower class included D and below.
While everyone remained silent, E7007 suddenly raised his hand.
Instantly, the attention of the entire hall was pulled towards him.
It was obvious from the look in her eyes that even the lady who had requested a suggestion from the lower class had not expected anything from them.
Lenny could also tell that she was willing to ignore E7007, but since she had given him the opportunity, she had no choice but to permit it.
"E class! You may talk."
E7007 took several steps from the crowd, and then he faced the altar and bowed to the mysterious man sitting on it. And then he bowed to the woman hosting the event.
"A few days ago! I and my fellow crew mates found a freshling in the D class with a particularly impressive ability."
Having said this far, he paused and looked into her eyes for a signal, but he did not find one. He gave a dry cough and continued.
In this place, E7007 could not dare to use his abilities.
There was no place in the world without hierarchy. Even though these people looked amicable, even their positions in this cave showed hierarchy.
It would be disastrous for him if he displayed his ability here and offended the wrong person.
After all, many of the people in this room could bully all Cerberuses from the arena.
E7007 suddenly pointed at Lenny. "We brought him here for you all to see. He has incredible abilities. I and some others have confirmed this."
The woman hosting the event frowned. "How dare you!? You brought a freshling to this gathering? Have you forgotten the oath?"
E7007 could sense her anger. And she was right. Lenny was supposed to undergo a testing period before he was brought here.
However, the call for freedom pushed E7007's desire.
"You will be punished for this!" she added.
"Or praised!" E7007 retorted sharply.
This surprised the woman. E7007 was an ant in her presence. A literal wave of her hand could make him splash on the wall like a water balloon.
However, E7007 cared little at this point. He already knew that he had been wronged. It was better to just get it over with.
The lady was literally about to raise a hand and discipline E7007. But his next words made her freeze.
"E999 has the ability to negate abilities!"
*SIlence*
