Chapter 810: Legend
In the end, Habitus did not manage to dodge Bach’s attack . His three fingers could no longer hold the shield tightly, and Bach’s brutal force sent it flying away . The thing that angered Habitus was that Bach had no intention to stop attacking him . Instead, he took a step closer and slashed his head with his sword . Habitus was helpless . For now, he had to temporarily give up the idea of dropping his weapon and surrendering . He used the sword in his left hand to block the attack, and at the same time, distanced himself from Bach .
However, just when he thought he had finally earned a chance to surrender, Bach made a shameless move, utterly stunning Habitus . He saw Bach throwing his small round shield aside before charging at him violently with the sword in his hand .
Habitus was now wholly overtaken by fear . He had to continue to fight because he was worried that the audience would want to execute him if he surrendered . At the same time, he lowered his voice and said to Bach, “Time to stop . I have already lost the battle . You can now take advantage of me to increase your reputation . All the reputation that I have accumulated so far now belongs to you . ”
“Not enough,” Bach said .
“Damn, what else do you want from me? Do you want me to pay you? I’ve been a gladiator for so many years, and I have saved a lot of money . I can pay you if let you let me surrender . ”
“No, no, I have no interest in your money . I just want to end your life,” Bach replied with sincerity .
“Are you f*cking sick in the head?!” Habitus could not help but yelled at last, “Don’t forget that we are gladiators from the same gladiator school . What are you going to tell Mark Reuss if you kill me?”

“Why should I care about what a retarded middle-aged Roman thinks?” Bach asked .
Habitus had almost run out of options to stay alive . So he could only lower his posture again and say, “Listen, we did not target you yesterday . You should know that . I just wanted to stop and prevent you from interfering in our business . As for the first time we met, Gaby asked me to beat you up to discipline you . You can see that there is actually no unsolvable enmity between us . ”
“It makes sense . ” Bach nodded .
Habitus was about to turn his sorrow into joy, but the very next moment, he could feel a cold-hard slash on his neck . Bach made sure that he slashed him fast enough . When he nodded just now, Habitus put down his guard for a brief moment . That was all it took for his throat to be slit . The latter knelt on the ground and desperately pressed his bloody neck . His eyes were filled with horror and confusion .
“There is nothing complicated about it . I’m just unhappy with you,” Bach grinned . “Since we are from the same school, I don’t want to see you wandering in front of me again . ”
“…”
Habitus seemed to try to coax out a reply, but he could now no longer speak .
Just as Bach and Habitus fought fiercely, Zhang Heng had already defeated three opponents . His performance was similar to what the audience had expected . As always, he was invincible, and he achieved flawless victory in every battle . No matter who the opponent was, they could not make more than ten moves against Zhang Heng .
In fact, Zhang Heng spent most of his time waiting for his next opponent to appear . However, when he saw his fourth opponent, the audience was left in a huge shock . For the first time, some of them started to worry for him .
That was because his next opponent was an archer gladiator .
There was no limitation to the type of gladiators in this performance . Hence, some overpowered gladiator professions were also mixed in this final battle . And archer gladiators was one of them . The archer gladiator’s circumstance was quite unique here . If their opponents were gladiators that wore heavy armor, they would surely lose the battle . However, if they faced light-armored gladiators, they would turn into the merciless death that reaped their souls .

Unfortunately, Zhang Heng was the kind of gladiator that wore light armor . And the worst part was he did not even have a shield with him . Other than that, he had also left his helmet in the lounge . In other words, he did not have a single piece of defensive equipment on him .
After analyzing his opponent, the archer gladiator opposite him had his hopes relit . And he was extremely excited about it . He knew that the gladiator that stood in front of him was the main attraction of the entire performance . If he could kill Zhang Heng here, he would undoubtedly become famous . Even if he failed to win this show’s championship, he would still become famous throughout the entire Rome .
Even if he could not become a legend, it was not too shabby to become a legend’s terminator . So when the judge signaled them to start the battle, he instantly drew an arrow and put it on the bowstring .
But his opponent Zhang Heng, like the previous few battles, made no special preparations . All he did was charge at his opponent . The archer gladiator could not believe what he was seeing . Why was there such a stupid person in this world now?
Even though there was a high chance that he would claim the victory, the archer gladiator still decided to be patient and did not fire the arrow until Zhang Heng got closer . When Zhang
Heng was ten steps away from him . The archer gladiator knew that there was no way that he would miss the target . So, he fired the arrow at Zhang Heng .
At the same time, Zhang Heng began to make his move as well . Since he possessed Lv2 archery skills himself, he could roughly judge where the arrow would land from the way his opponent fired . Ultimately, he still relied on his Lv4 swordsmanship . Zhang Heng did not even stop moving . All he did was swing his swords randomly .
And the next moment, his swords slashed the flying arrow with pinpoint accuracy .
The audience heard a loud bang, and they saw Zhang Heng’s sword deflecting the oncoming arrow .
On the other hand, the archer gladiator was left in complete bewilderment . He was wondering how that happened . He did not take his last opportunity to shoot another arrow . All he did was stood there with an empty mind . It looked like he had given up on fighting back . This was probably the deadliest mistake made by a gladiator since the start of this final battle . There was not a single audience who blamed him for giving up fighting back . That was because all the audience who saw this scene were left in shock without exception .
It was not until Zhang Heng rushed in front of the archer gladiator and placed his Persian sword in front of the latter’s neck . He then realized that he had been eliminated . As compared to his defeat, the scene where Zhang Heng deflected his arrow had a bigger impact on him . It even destroyed his confidence and common sense .
And this scene further fortified the beliefs of Sartonilos and the others . The oriental man in front of them must be the incarnation of some god . Otherwise, there was no way to explain his outrageous strength . While thinking about it, Sartonilos and the others, who had lost the will to fight, deteriorated even further . They had now almost lost to the ordinary opponents in front of them .
