Antgram Paladins

an unjust destiny

"Woah .. so big"

Da vinci and Sheilla looked up to see the size of the gladiator arena, seeing that people were waiting in line to go watch the gladiators who were going to fight.

And this is the moment, the gladiatorial Tournament is about to begin.

They queue up to enter, but unexpectedly they meet their senior who split up before her.

"Well, this must be fate"

"What is destiny if we go out and go from the same house to the same place"

Da vinci replied to Chelsea's words in annoyance as Chelsea were a little surprised by it and looked towards Sheilla.

"Is he angry?"

"Well, inexplicably, her emotional journey is out of control"

"Once you are, you must be troubled"

Da vinci just stared wryly where he remembered his days together with Sheilla, but those were the days when Sheilla's emotions were unstable and he was always angry at Da vinci.

(There are times when I need to be patient)

Leaving Sheilla right next to Chelsea, this time Da vinci was right next to Williard and Juliy.

"Don't think about it, this already negates a man's destiny"

Juliy said while patting Da vinci on the shoulder, then they continued to walk and enter this gladiatorial building.

Different point of view at the same time.

At the moment Shopia is sitting on the floor or rather he is in prison, he does not remember ever doing anything wrong, if there is something then the betrayal of his friend last time is the cause of him imprisoned.

(Relax myself, there is no point in losing control at this time, first I was separated with Ellie and Zano, then Tony's condition, the man named Torano put me in the room fenced off by this iron guerrilla, why would he bother to do that? Even the novice players should be able to knock down these iron bars, but he kept putting me in, then on the outside it sounded very lively, I remember if this was a gladiator arena, maybe the tournament had already started)

The iron door opened where his voice rang out throughout this prison room, it sounded so resounding that Shopia was wary of it.

The man who opened the door walked where in the end he stood before the room where Shopia was locked up.

A man with a calm gaze, looking at Shopia where Shopia was not sure of the situation, the man put the key into the lock where he opened the iron bar.

"Come with me"

Just that remark, made Shopia could only go silent where she blinked a few times, but she had to obey her orders where she started to stand and get out of the room.

After Shopia's room stood quietly where she looked at the man who was locking the guerrilla back.

(Did I make her faint?)

"Maybe you think like that, but give up"

Said the man where he finished locking the iron barber back and walked out, Shopia just looked at the man with a wry smile.

He followed the man calmly without thinking of doing anything stupid anymore.

"Hey, my other two friends are okay, right?"

"If you're talking about your man's friend, then he's dead"

Shopia gasped in shock and stopped her legs, staring with a sad, angry, and shocked expression.

"Damn it!!!"

Then he turned her into a rage where he immediately ran towards the man, clenching his fists to intend to punch the man.

The man responded by holding Shopia's fist with one hand, then he pointed his foot slightly back and immediately kicked Shopia's leg.

Shopia was in the air for a short time when the man pulled Shopia's arm and threw Shopia forward, smashing into the rock wall and falling onto the floor.

"After coming to his senses, the man went berserk, and our captain hated the noise so much, it was his own fault"

When he tried to wake up, there was sadness on his face, shedding many tears where it fell to the ground.

"Why .... Does everything .. end like this?" (Why do I always end up like this, grandma dies, I become an adventurer, but instead get thrown into an obscure world like this, forced to play an obscure game, and thanks to that Daniel and Stella died, Hanyq Zano, the only friend left .. but---ah, never mind, I was tired of everything, I was almost crazy, I was ... want to die)

Surrender of all the dissatisfaction in life, screaming to die, wanting to leave everything, wanting to calm down, but.

Flashback of memory.

"Good day, my name is Ellie Tretline, I'm so happy to be joining your party!"

"I actually have two twin sisters, we are very poor you know? Even to eat me up begging in the middle of the road only for bread that passes the expiration date"

"Can we survive until this game is over?"

A memory of where she spent her time with her little friend, she recalled her, a light of hope had illuminated her mind where she could think in ratio.

And she realized, if the man hadn't brought up Ellie at all, she'd still not be alone.

"Russia ... Ellie!! That girl is okay, right?!"

Shopia stood facing the man with a face that wanted to be given some hope, if she got desperate, then she would not be able to come back again.

The man let out a tired sigh and walked past Shopia.

"Just be calm, senior Torano said not to touch her, leave it aside, hurry up, we don't accept the kettle"

Shopia was silent where her heart was relieved, she still had a colleague, for that reason she could remain standing firmly, she wiped her tears and directly followed the man walking.

They continued to walk where they reached a room filled with weapons, swords, daggers, axes, spears, shields, armor and even archery here.

"Pick a weapon you like"

"Huh?"

"Don't make me repeat it"

"Good"

The man stared flatly where Shopia went around in wonder, choosing the weapon he wanted to use, he wore more of a sword because it was suitable for him, he said, however, he attended the academy of Xirius where he was taught to use the sword.

So he gazed at the sword passage in bewilderment, picking up one of his with teary eyes.

(How many years do I have to save up to buy this sword?)

"You've chosen him?"

"L-yes, I've chosen her, and this too"

He took the sword and took out a dagger where he put the dagger into the sheath that was on his thigh.

The man opened a gate made of iron in front of him where it was seen a small tunnel, then sunlight.

Pushing Shopia out and locking him in the iron gate.

"Live as you can, if you die, your little friend will die too"

"uh? What does --- Hah mean?"

Shopia was in the arena, standing where thousands of spectators were looking at her while cheering, Shopia was still confused by this situation.

"Ghwooowwrr"

A monster roars violently where Shopia responds in shock and reaches a monster far ahead of her.

A monster named Elefantas, a sekeor elephant monster that has a humanoid body, his core he is a gaja who walks on two legs.

His body was furnished by an armor suit where his nose was so long that it even reached his stomach, clasping tightly to a large axe in his left hand.

An iron necklace was tied around his neck where there was a very strong chain where the chain was centered in the middle of the arena.

It was to prevent the elephantas from going berserk and in the end he jumped into the audience, with the presence of the chain necklace on his neck, he could only move in this arena.

And Shopia looked at it with a shocked expression.

(wait, wait, wait, wait .. isn't that Elefantas?! What does this mean?!!)

On the other side of the crowd, Sheilla, Da vinci, Chelsea, Juliy and Williard have just arrived.

"Damn, it's almost about to start, let's hurry!"

In a hurry, Juliy searched for five empty seats, they even brought snacks here.

That's why they are late where they go to buy snacks first, that's to be able to enjoy the show.

"Well ladies and gentlemen, the show you're waiting for is about to begin, the fight of life and death, the fight worthy of a gladiator, let's welcome one of the opposing sides, the gladiator today!! A little girl who grasps a sword with ease!!"

All the eyes of the audience were fixed towards Shopia where Shopia's face was flushed red because of that, it was the first time for her to be seen by thousands of such people.

"Then on the other hand, an elephant, with an elephant head and a humanoid body, but he was a knight who kept tightly grasping his weapons, the party he was fighting, and yet he was a warrior, he valiantly accepted the challenge from the opposing side, a monster that was 248 cm tall!! All righty!! Who will win between them, it depends on them"

Elephantus raised his axe upwards then, set his leg muscles where his footing even became disintegrated.

"Match ... It's starting!!!"

"Ghorowrrrr!!"

Elephantus threw his axe at Shopia, where Shopia responded in panic and avoided the side where he lowered his head.

The axe hit the wall and destroyed it.

"His fight has already started~~"

Sheilla sat comfortably in the seat and immediately enjoyed the match, but after a while, she widened her eyes and immediately stood up in panic.

"That's..."

".... why?"

Da vinci stared in wonder where Sheilla hunga was silent here, the other side in the arena, Shopia pulled the sword from her scabbard and immediately threw the sheath to the ground.

Then he began to run while drawing his sword forward.

(I don't know what's going on, but what's for sure is that I have to fight this monster!)

Elephantus was silent and strengthened his right arm muscles where all his veins came out, here was a chain in his arm, pulling the chain strong where the axe stuck in the wall was instantly moved and was firmly drawn towards them.

Realizing something was coming from behind him, he stopped his legs to try to check the state of the back, but it was too late where the axe directly passed him quickly where it made a very strong wind.

Shopia's hair fluttered where she widened her eyes at this moment, staring towards her front where the elefantos had already dashed towards her.

Grasping tightly onto his axe and instantly slashed at Shopia from the sideways direction.

Responding in panic, Shopia stopped running, lowered her body and almost kneeled on the floor where the elephantos axe passed right above her.

If he did not prostrate, he would definitely be split into two halves.

(Sial ... This monster, is so powerful!)
