I Became a Gladiator in the World of Gender Reversal

52 – Criminal-9

“Keuk!”

Their attacks are pouring in.

The large number of humans who confidently approached was, in itself, tremendous violence.

Advantages of range, distance control, flesh-and-bone strategy, and countless other knowledge become meaningless.

It should be drilled. However, the alley I entered was already full of bullies.

“Damn it…”

I glanced at the fallen person. The blood flowing from his face didn’t seem like simple smoke.

Simply to trick me, I would grab an innocent person and beat him until he really died.

However, right now it was urgent to take care of my body.

“Get out of the way!”

It was not easy to escape. I didn’t have such hopeful expectations.

It is different from the first raid. They said, ‘Could I lose to a man?’ I had the same thoughts.

However, these are different. They knew that I was a gladiator, and the sword in my hand was stimulating those women’s wariness.

They must know the geography of this place much better than I do, and it was not possible to escape just by running away recklessly.

At least, it should take time.

If the rear is exposed while surrounded, even that cannot be done properly.

“Catch it! If you miss it, you’ll really die!”

They, too, were desperate.

It is said that the homeless people on this street were massacred for missing me once. Of course, he would have thought of risking his life to pursue me.

I couldn’t escape that long. He was holding two swords, and it was impossible to pierce them head-on.

“He’s gone down a dead end!”

“It urges the lifeline…”

So, this was the best I could do.

Even coming this far, I got a wound, but it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t fight.

“Come on.”

“What, do you intend to fight seriously? With that toy sword?”

The sword I brought was also not a sword with proper lethal power. It is a gladiator’s sword.

Actually, that wasn’t the problem. I didn’t think that even in this situation, I wouldn’t be able to lay down one or two people, and if I picked up a weapon from a fallen person and used it, I could at least cut a knife.

The problem was that it didn’t end even after killing one person, but it wasn’t necessarily the killing power that was the problem.

“Do you really think you won’t die if you get hit by this?”

Before gladiators go into battle, they receive enough protective spells to be tempted to overdo it.

The head is a part where blows are allowed, and whether the black blade is standing or not is a lump of metal.

Just as a reverse-edged sword can split heads, this sword also had the killing power to kill people.

“Do not lose strength and surrender?”

“sh*t…”

Nonetheless, once the goal was achieved.

If the back is blocked like this, there is no need to fight around it.

All you have to do is fight two or three bullies at a time. Even this is a daunting task, but it is not impossible to take the time.

“What are you doing! Take it down!

At the command of the captain, several bullies rushed at me.

Seriously, if they were born on Earth, they could have made a living based on their looks. No matter how much you think about it, there is no harsh corner in this world.

However, right now I couldn’t afford to care about their circumstances.

I swung my sword.

“Kyaaa!!!”

“What, what, are you okay?”

The arm of the woman who rushed in first was unnaturally bent and staggering.

Gladiators in the Colosseum do not carry two-handed weapons.

The pitchfork of Agricola is a very unusual case. Weapons such as the Greatsword, Warhammer, and War Ax would have been weapons that could be easily seen in actual combat, but had never been seen inside the Colosseum.

Of course, the range of those weapons was important, but more important than that was the amount of impact.

If you take a heavy weapon down from above, even a decent shield won’t be able to repel it.

If that was all, we might have been able to balance it somehow. Like I did, by removing heavy and cumbersome things, or by minimizing armor.

However, there was a more important reason than that.

“This bastard!”

“aaa, my arm, my arm…”

Two-handed weapons destroy the body properly like this.

Although the effectiveness of healing magic and ointment is good, it means that it is effective in a situation where flesh is torn and blood is flowing.

Fixing bones was not an easy task even with the power of magic or alchemy. It wasn’t impossible, but it took a lot of time and money.

Even a bladeless sword can break a woman’s delicate arms or legs if she wields it with both hands.

Even for the success of the Colosseum or the diversification of strategies, if a shield or other secondary armament was brought to the place, it would be heard, but two-handed weapons would not be easily allowed.

Of course, the weapon I am holding is not a greatsword. However, my strength is a bit stronger than that of ordinary women.

People who recklessly enter in this way can be thoroughly punished.

“Quaaa!”

“What, what are you doing! See you bastard with a broken arm for the first time! Keep running! If one goes down, the other one shouldn’t be looking for a chance!”

However, they didn’t stop.

Having adjusted my stance again, I am ready to fight again.

It may be too late.

Jerry was running so fast that he was out of breath, but somewhere in her heart, ominous imaginations bloomed.

I should have been more careful. I should have acknowledged him more.

It was so comfortable. He asked to be treated as an ordinary gladiator, and in a way, she faithfully obeyed.

Jealous like an ordinary gladiator, jealous like an ordinary gladiator.

As if he wasn’t a man, he spilled his words without much interest.

It was a mistake. It shouldn’t be like that.

I shouldn’t have hated him. Putting him in danger because of her little misjudgment was something he shouldn’t have done.

It can’t go on like this. You have to run faster.

Approaching the alley near the armor store, she could tell that a commotion was taking place inside.

“Thank God, it is…”

She, who let her words flow without her strength, had to think why these words leaked out of her own mouth.

The expectation that one of her would be able to save him by being put in was an excessive delusion.

Evando is a prosecutor. I don’t know exactly, but he must have taken at least a sword and left.

And those who wanted to kidnap him wouldn’t have tried to attack him with only one or two people.

Rather, it might have been better if the streets were quiet. It means that he escaped the crisis somehow by running away, or he was kidnapped and taken away and the situation was over.

Now, even if she gets into it, there is nothing she can do.

It is different from Dana. If it were her, she would have displayed her swordsmanship without hesitation even in the face of numerous enemies, but her ordinary gladiator, Jerry, had her limits.

Five at most. Considering that their physical condition is not normal, three people.

If your luck is awfully bad, you might end up lying with him without being able to defeat even two people. May die

“…Well, that’s not bad.”

Still, this moment was special.

Even if you can’t do anything and fight for him, dying on the street.

It was not an ordinary situation. Although it was a more common situation than a fellow male gladiator coming in, it was a very special situation.

Like the heroine of a tragic love story, a woman fighting with her life to protect a man was a somehow romantic situation.

He is not her lover, but just an ordinary co-worker, but nonetheless.

“…Let’s go.”

Fighting for her life in a situation worth dying for was something special.

In the first place, he was in danger because of Jerry. If the situation ends like this, even if Jerry is alive, she will become the worst woman who is less than normal and “Endangers a man with a cheap mouth”.

In order to prevent that situation, now she had to run.

“Wait!!!”

As we shouted and ran, we could see that bullies were gathered somewhere in the alley.

“What is that b*tch again?”

“Gee, reinforcements have arrived! People from the Colosseum have arrived! We have to run away!”

“It’s so daunting to fight a single male gladiator, but if a proper gladiator joins in…”

Fortunately, that shook the bully’s spirits quite a lot.

“Don’t be shaken! If you run away, you will all die! The wall will be closed, and you will live in hiding like a rat and die!”

At least the captain stayed awake and encouraged his men, but some bullies had already run away.

“Look, one person! If the news of us is known, there’s no way they’d send a single gladiator with nothing like that!”

It was an uneasy situation, but Jerry was relieved.

I can still hear the sound of swords clashing within me. He is fighting

Then, even if you die here, at least you can die after seeing Evan’s face.

“…I don’t think I liked it that much.”

Still, it is necessary to atone. In the end, rather than remaining as a gladiator who deceived Evan and put him in danger, it was a more normal person to die as a gladiator who made some mistakes but did his best to make up for them.

“I was the first to come. But, do you really think I’m coming alone?”

“Kuh… What are you doing! I mean, quickly subdue that man and run away!”

“The resistance… Is too strong!”

With that last word, Jerry jumped into the crowd of bullies.

To keep her remaining, ordinary relationship to her.
