Apocalypse After

Old Contact News

Late night.

After the agreement of both sides, they finally decided on a life and death fight in the underground arena directly. In just a few hours' delay, very many people gathered there.

By the time he passed the stairs leading to the basement, Alexander was a little looking forward to it. When he went inside, he saw a very large room. There was an arena in the middle, on the edge, looked like a spectator chair rising from the ground up. Like a mini coliseum.

Alexander follows Gery to find a good viewing spot. However, before that they went in the same direction. Because the entrance fee was withdrawn before they passed the tunnel, it means that now they are gathered not to pay for tickets.

Everyone who was watching clearly placed their bets!

Merely, Alexander was not at all concerned with that bet. Instead, he was instead amazed by the architecture of the underground arena. I felt like I had found a new continent.

‘It turns out there's someone with a hobby of digging like me? Could it be that our ancestors had similarly united themselves with the miracle root of the killer ants or the termite army?’

After thinking that, Alexander became even more interested. However, just then Gery's voice woke the young man from his daydream.

“Who will you bet on?” ask Gery.

“Hm?”

Alexander raised his eyebrows. At first he didn't care much about it. But seeing that everyone was watching the fun, the young man finally decided to mingle. He made a small bet and chose Samuel.

“You chose that young man?” gery asked doubtfully.

“Looks like he's pretty good,” says Alexander flat.

“Why didn't you choose Kim? He is a little old, but he has a lot of experience. He had already obtained 8 potions. The young man should have only obtained 4-5 potions. Not to mention he also had no experience in battles like this.

Kim himself has won several fights. You could say, you will lose money today.”

Listening to the explanation of ‘professional’ from Gery, Alexander continued to nod. He's in no hurry. Only after the man was silent did the young man reply casually.

“I just tried. After all, I only bet a little and do not rely on this to make money.”

“Tsk!” Gery clucked dissatisfied. “You don't understand the pleasure of betting, V.”

“I like to bet ..” reply Alexander relaxed. “But in other respects.”

Looking at Alexander who seemed to be saying an unfunny joke, Gery shrugged his shoulders. He did not care at all whether what the young man said was true. Instead, the focus was clearly on the life and death battles that existed in the arena.

In the arena, Samuel and Kim were standing opposite. Their expressions looked very fierce. The provocation of many onlookers who insulted Kim's age or Samuel's childish dreams made the two even hotter.

With a referee who was at the edge of the arena giving a cue, they both drew their respective swords.

Looking at the weapon they were using, Alexander shook his head. Although they had little hope for Samuel, their weapons could already determine who would be the winner.

Kim carried a sword made from level 1 monster material. Even so, the appearance of the sword was still smooth and looked excellent.

Samuel's sword alone could also be considered a level 1 item, but his appearance was already extremely worn out and seemed to be able to shatter at any moment.

If previously the odds of winning Samuel about 20%. With such a weapon, the chances of winning the man were roughly only 5%.

At the sight of that, the spectators who were betting on Samuel's luck instantly held their heads in disappointed expressions. Many of them think they can win enough money. But became angry and began to curse because he felt less fortunate.

In the end, they could only shout and blame Samuel when it had nothing to do with the young man.

That's human. They are quite selfish, want to win by themselves, do not want to be blamed, even like to throw mistakes to others.

Meanwhile, Alexander watched the fight while propping up his chin. Unlike Gery who was stinging from immediately earning money, the young man chose to observe the fight carefully.

Only, Alexander felt quite disappointed. Unlike the fierce battle he had in mind, what he saw was only a battle between ‘ordinary people’.

Although they were apprentice hunters, their strength was not at all considered to be strong. Moreover, their way of fighting seemed to be quite frivolous. On one hand, Kim attacked crazily and tried to suppress the opponent with a messy sword swing. On the other hand, Samuel continued to defend without even trying to retaliate against the attack.

At least .. That's what Alexander thought before.

When he felt that everything was going to end, Alexander saw Samuel start to fight. Not to mention, he used basic sword skills to fight well. It was completely different from an opponent who fought recklessly.

Alexander was immediately interested. At first he thought that Samuel was acting just like him when he was in Shelter 13. However, his suspicions disappeared when he saw the man's concentration.

Serious expression, sweating profusely, breathing up and down from nervousness, and seemingly grinding your teeth for fear of making a mistake.

If it was all fake, Alexander had to admit that the man's acting was much better than his.

A loud voice echoed in the fighting arena. Alexander awoke from his daydream. At the sight of the sword in Samuel's hand breaking, he could only sigh deeply.

“MATI!”

Kim looked happy. He went straight ahead and slashed at Samuel who was daydreaming with all his might.

At the moment when the sword was about to stab his chest, a stunned-looking Samuel suddenly leaped forward. The sword failed to hit his chest, but it still hit the right part of his stomach. However, this did not stop the man.

Withstanding the pain of being stabbed, Samuel came forward and slashed Kim's neck with his broken sword. Due to a partial fracture, he could only advance forward to injure Kim.

A slash!

The sword slashed the middle-aged man's throat. At that moment, Kim fell to the ground while holding his neck with an expression of disbelief. He looked at Samuel who was tightly gripping the right part of his stomach with an expression full of hatred, but also helplessness.

The incident happened so quickly, leaving many spectators stunned. At first, many people were shouting excitedly for immediately earning their money. Although it was a small victory, but it could be used for a few days of drinking. However, it turned out that the end was different than they expected.

As many people were stunned, Samuel raised the broken sword in his right hand while roaring.

At that moment, the spectators were shouting excitedly.

“OOOHHH!!”

Hearing the cheers of the men, Samuel was very satisfied. Although his stomach was stabbed, the man could still walk out of the arena with a relieved expression on his face.

Right then, Alexander turned his head towards Gery who was stunned in place. Looking at the empty expression of the middle-aged man, he said in a joking tone.

“It looks like the popular science you described is not entirely true, Gery.”

“Ugh!” Gery looked sorry. Mocked by Alexander, he retorted with a dull expression. “Call me Grey Jackal!”

“Good, good ... Mr Grey Jackal great.” Alexander shrugged his shoulders.

“What are you doing here? Didn't you win a lot? Take your money and buy me a free guide tonight!”

If spoken by someone else, Alexander would think it was blackmail. However, in fact the famous Grey Jackal is in no way short of little money. Although most of the money was spent on wine and women, but he would definitely not squeeze out such small money. After all, Gery still has prestige.

Seeing Gery who had already treated him as a friend, of course Alexander would not be stingy over such a small fortune. If he could, the young man hoped to use this time to deepen their friendship so that the business could run more smoothly.

“Of course I'll keep you drinking until morning. After all, who would have thought that I would win?” alexander said with a faint smile behind his mask.

“That's what you said. Don't regret it!” gery said with a grin on his old face.

“Then I'll take the money first.”

After saying that, Alexander took the money. The bet is not much, but it becomes more valuable as it becomes tripled. Many people seem sorry for not putting too much. But it can be understood. After all, who would have thought such a newcomer could defeat Kim.

Alexander himself was not so interested in their fight. He wanted to see a more intense fight. However, the young man felt that Samuel was indeed quite attractive.

After getting the money, Alexander leaves with Gery.

On the way to the bar, the man suddenly spoke to Alexander.

“This defeat of mine really makes me remember the mistake of one year ago. In a spring like this, there are also rookies that come with a pretty good impression. If not mistaken ... his name is Claude?” gery was a bit doubtful.

Hearing the name, Alexander's pupils shrunk. He was actually shocked, but did not change his expression. Instead, the young man asked back, “Claude? Is he also a hunter apprentice like Samuel?”

“No.” Gery shook his head. “He was different from Samuel because the man was a level 1 hunter and had three friends. Absolutely not a loner.”

“Oh? How can a level 1 hunter impress you?” reply Alexander relax.

“Claude is young and has a lot of potential. Of course, after looking with my own eyes, the man was indeed quite attractive. Not only did he reject the invitation of Blood Cross, he also rejected the invitation of several large groups.

Young man who wants to ride with his own two hands .. I think it's quite interesting.”

Alexander nodded lightly. Not only to respond to Gery, but also to make sure that he is not wrong at all.

The Claude this guy was talking about was his own friend!
