章節 140: Battle of the Coliseum (final part)

Hugo's body lay a few meters further away than the last time Jake had checked his condition, his body still frozen in the posture of a person crawling with pain. His head had rolled in the sand nearly a dozen meters after being chopped off, and looked pretty nasty.

Sarah and Thomas had been executed in a flash without being able to do anything. Thomas' face was unrecognizable, all his facial bones reduced to fine gravel. His face had hollowed out to form a deep crater of bone and flesh, his crushed eyes resembling a raspberry confit. Roughly the head of someone who'd put his head into the end of a cannon just before ignition...

Contemplating the Myrmidian General's enormous hands, Jake concluded that a fist from the Myrmidian General would definitely achieve the same result. In comparison, Sarah had had a dignified death.

A reader pointed out an inconsistency to me yesterday. I had miscalculated when Jake used his Aether points to maximize his Intelligence and Perception. Indeed, he would have needed 50*16+32*50=2400 pts to do that and not 240. I forgot a zero.

To restore the coherence, I decided that the bracelet of the Player that he had absorbed gave him not 250pts but about 2500 pts. That may sound like a lot, but it actually makes a lot more sense when you think about it and when you look at the background of this kind of Player.

Sorry again for the blunder. ^^"
