Capítulo 6: Chapter 6 : First kill
A few drops of blood fell from Arthur's stomach, but despite the pain he suffered, he quickly ran towards Rick, and then with a small jump he kicked him hard in the back, the force of the kick caused Rick to push a few meters and then he fell to the ground on his face and the metal knife slipped from his hand.
Arthur ran fast and carried the bloody knife.
"You crazy bastard, haven't you heard the laws, it's not allowed to.... "Rick stood cursing the person who hit him he thought it was just a random person from the other slaves, but when he saw Arthur standing in front of him, the words stopped in his throat and he couldn't find anything he could say, he looked towards Arthur's hand to find him holding the knife he had, his heart began to tell him that things wouldn't go as he planned.
"Arthur we are friends, please calm down and don't do anything you might regret, what I did a little while ago was just a hasty mistake" Rick started making excuses, he was planning to make Arthur lower his guard, when he saw that Arthur stopped in his place and didn't take any action against him, his courage increased and he continued talking as he slowly approached him.
"I beg you to forgive me, I realize my mistake, and if you were in my place, you might do what I did because of fear."
'Yeah, stay that way, you idiot, when he took the knife out of your hand, this time I'll make sure to shove it down your fucking throat,' Rick continued mocking Arthur deep inside himself, he was getting closer to the boy in front of him just to take advantage of him in his time of need and this time it's time.
Slash !
Drop !
Drop !
Drops of blood splattered everywhere, and a stunned look was drawn on Rick's face, he did not believe what was happening, he put his hands on his neck and tried to prevent bleeding, but the blood continued to flow.
" How " this word was the only thing he was able to say before he fell to the ground, a few seconds ago when he approached Arthur, he calmly stretched out his hand and tried to stabilize the hand with which Arthur was holding the knife, but Arthur suddenly slit his neck quickly and with a precise blow.
Arthur stood looking at the person he had once called my friend, his blood filled the ground as his eyes began to lose their luster, Arthur's gaze was empty no one could distinguish what he was thinking, but his mind was full of mixed thoughts, regret, heartbreak, hatred, the thrill of revenge.
'I really killed someone, I didn't think that this day would come so soon' Arthur looked at his trembling hands and said to himself:
'Whoever thought my first murder would be this miserable. My feelings are very conflicted, II feel remorse and conscience for doing this, I'm not wrong, he tried to kill me, he almost succeeded in killing me if not for the light that cured me.'
Arthur wiped the knife from the blood and put it inside his robe, then went to the side of the room and stood with the slaves who succeeded, Arthur looked at the people around him, Among them were the two amphibians he saw in the morning, amphibians are very strong creatures and a natural amphibian is born 10 times stronger than any ordinary human, so the question of their success is something taken for granted.
But the one whose success was surprising for Arthur was the one-eyed old man , it was his weathered appearance and his feeble steps are an indication of his approach to death, so how could he kill another person at such insane speed as he did.
The other two people were a 3-meter-tall giant human and the other person is a longarm human, his face was full of bruises he exchanged punches with another person to death.
"Well done for staying alive. doing this deserves a small reward. go on, I'll give you a day off and tomorrow we'll play the game we agreed on."The Celestial Dragon spoke and a big smile filled his face, the bloody sight he saw was very satisfying, He loved seeing people suffer and the blood was flying, but the show he liked the most were the two people who exchanged punches until one of them died and the show by Arthur and Rick.
…
After Arthur washed and changed his clothes, he bandaged the wounds on his stomach, Arthur touched the wound with his finger and felt a strange feeling, the wound was large, but when the pain is stimulated, a slight heat is released that soothes the wound.
'This strange light cures my surgery and relieves the pain a little bit, I don't know what it is but it really helps me a lot, if that light hadn't been on at the time I was stabbed I'd be dead by now.'
An expression of sadness appeared on Arthur's face, the question of him killing someone else still bothers him, at this moment he remembers the words of the old man he met on his first day here.
"Don't trust anyone, don't turn your back on anyone."
"And I thought he was exaggerating things. the prisoners here, most of them have lost their minds from a lot of torture and hard labor. they could do anything, so I have to get stronger."
Drop !
Arthur stroked the wound in his stomach so that the pain would make him forget the anxiety that was beginning to take hold of him, when they cleared his mind and his gaze became clearer, he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, A crazy look appeared in his eyes that makes you realize that he has lost a part of himself in this place, Arthur, part of whom remained clinging to his personality in his native world, disappeared and a new Arthur appeared, darkness began to take over his heart.
…
Inside a small, luxurious-looking room Arthur leaned over a large bed covered with white cotton sheets, The bed was so comfortable that Arthur fell into a deep sleep as soon as he put his head on the pillow, he slept like a baby that night.
Since he was brought here, he's been sleeping on the floor with a worn blanket. The cold of the prison made him always wake up in the middle of the night shivering from the cold, sleeping was a difficult thing in prison but he eventually falls asleep from sheer fatigue.
The next morning, Arthur woke up feeling very comfortable, his injury was almost completely healed, and this shows that his healing ability is very high compared to anyone else.
Arthur met up with the other slaves before being directed by the guards to have a hearty breakfast.
'A sumptuous meal, a comfortable bed, plus a night of rest, what is this person planning?' No matter how Arthur thinks about it, he can't find any logical reason for that person to do this, He can simply drive them to play immediately after they finish the fight, so why will he wait a whole day And makes slaves have a day of luxury،
Actually Arthur did not know that the Celestial Dragons that he brought here, has his own ideas, and everything he does is part of his plan, not all residents of Mary Geoise are stupid.
After they finished eating breakfast, the guards led them through a long corridor, The tension begins to overcome Arthur, he does not know what is waiting for him at the place where they are taking him. Everyone present was as nervous as him, except for the old man, he was walking with moderate steps and is in a good mood. He didn't care if he died here, he's just an old man about to end his life, dying dead or bedridden makes no difference to him.
After walking for several minutes, they arrived in front of a huge gate, what is behind this gate could be fatal for them.
Squeak!
The gate opened, making an annoying sound, but no one paid attention to the sound and all their attention was directed to what was inside the room.
In front of them there were several giant walls, the height of which exceeded 6 meters or more, none of the slaves understood what their purpose was, Arthur stood up and there's some daze on his face, He was expecting this to be a melee fight or something similar, but the high stone walls in front of them turned out that it's not that simple.
Tsshhhh !
"Well, slave group, I think you guys had a good night, And now I think it's time to pay for the comfortable bed and the meal you ate, So I'm announcing the beginning of the great maze game " an annoying sound came through some speakers hanging in the room.
