26's view
The chains that kept the goliath locked up fall to the ground creating a deafening sound, the crowd goes silent as they watch the goliath slowly standing up. The moment the four-meter tall giant stands up he lets out a fierce cry of rage and rushes towards me with both his hands above his head. It seems like I have enraged it by killing its kind.
The goliath smashes both his hands down but I am faster and able to circle behind him and slash his back once and then kick him as hard as I can. If a normal person did this it would have no effect, but with my way to high strength and adding the factor that I used the momentum of its own charge against it, he flies back and falls on the ground.
"42"
"1"
Shit, this thing seems to have innate armor. I won't get anywhere with this amount of damage. My kick did not even get trough his armor.
"Azil, got any tips?"
He looks at me with an eerie smile and says: "Of course, but in return you will have to follow my order once without complaints."
I grit my teeth and sigh: "Deal."
His smile becomes bigger before laughing : "Aim for the neck. Even if you cannot trigger a critical hit the normal way, hitting vitals still works. If you do it you might even get a skill out of it. I will give you a free piece of advice, don't use your skills too often. If you rely on them too much you will become weak, only use blood sacrifice and aim for the neck, that is the fastest way to actually become stronger."
"You are being unusually helpful", I state.
"Well, you have grown up a lot in this battle. No idea why, but I like it."
"Yes, I have noticed too, every time I battle it feels like I get a better grip on everything. It is like someone turned on the light in a dark room. I will be totally honest I am pretty ashamed of how I act when I am out of battle, would be very nice if my mind would stay clear even after this battle."
During our conversation, the Goliath managed to pull himself up again and slowly walks towards me. It seems like he noticed he is no match for me when it comes to speed.
The commentator start shouting: "Even with 26's insane damage he is going to have a tough time beating this opponent!"
After that exclamation, the crowd starts cheering again as they will be able to see me struggle, really...what a bunch of sick bastards.
I swing my sword sideways as fast as I can in order to clean my blade from the blood that taints it.
"Blood sacrifice, 50%"

"Health"
Health:214/215(430/50%)
"Attack"
Attack:123-132(12-15 weapon + 29 scaling x2 class passive x1.5 Blood Sacrifice)
I rush toward the goliath and the swing his right arm toward me, I roll under it and jump in the air to slash at his neck once.
"216"
The Goliath jump back and I can see the fear and surprise in his eyes. And the Goliath is not the only one that is surprised, the whole arena falls silent.
The silence gets broken by a fierce roar and the goliath green skin starts turning red.
"+100"
"+100"
"+100"
The commentator who has overcome his surprise start shouting: "There it is! The Goliath Blood Boil, as long as this ability stays active he will keep regenerating health at a rapid pace!"
Seeing this, I can't help laughing like madmen before roaring: "Thanks for that, I needed a durable practice partner."
After saying that I rush towards him and aim for his throat.
"85"
Shit, I missed, the Goliath tries to punch me again but I jump in the air and swing my sword again, this time slitting his throat.
"224"
"+100"
The commentator is perplexed and mutters: "Am I seeing things, is number 26 really using this fierce opponent that normally needs a group of 5 level 60 vampire soldiers to take down as a plaything! And what is with that insane damage while using such a crappy weapon! What is going on here?"
spectator view(not an actual spectator, I just mean this part is written in no one's perspective.)
In the V.I.P area of the colosseum, there is a young girl sitting on a sort of throne. She has golden hair, crimson eyes and is wearing a princess attire. You could say she looks just like a pretty doll. As she is watching the bloodshed below she shows a cute smile and says with a childish voice: "Never did I expect that my cute little experiment would turn out to be such a great success."
She waves her hand and immediately a maid rushes to her side and bows down and kisses her hand.
The little girl pets the maids head before ordering: "After this fight give him a little reward and enter him into the project."
The maid that looks like she is having the time of her life replies: "Of course milady, and with the reward which should we give him?"
"Give him a standard sword and maybe the chief of the guards from that human village whom we recently raided.", the little girl nonchalantly says.
"My Queen, is giving him sword a smart idea?", the maid asks.
"Slap"
The maid now has a red mark on her cheek and looks scared before lowering her head and begging: "I am sorry, my Queen, this lowly maid should not have questioned you."
The little girl playfully strokes the face of the maid before whispering: "Seems like you need a bit of training."
The face of the maid turns red and she even almost starts drooling: "Yes please, my Queen."
During this whole conversation, all eyes have been on 26 as he has been playing around with the Goliath in the arena. He kept slashing at the Goliath's neck and when he almost died 26 backed off and gave him time to regenerate his health.
After five minutes the Goliath skin turns green again and 26 finishes him off quickly by three well-aimed slashes at his throat, chopping off his head.

Congratulations, you have learned the passive skill Execution.
Execution ( standard skill - passive):

Level up:congratulations on reaching lv 44
The crowd is extremely shocked, when they heard someone was going to fight a Goliath on his own, they all thought he would get decimated. Not one of them could have dreamed that the Goliath would be toyed with and then decapitated.
"Clap, Clap, Clap"
The silence that rules the arena is broken by the sound of applause originating from the V.I.P zone. There's a little girl walking towards the edge of the balcony to show her appearance to everyone. The second she appears all visitors kneel down and shout: "Long live our Queen!"
The little girl smiles, obviously enjoying all the attention. At this point of time, every is kneeling except one person, 26. Seeing him still standing five guards run towards him trying to attack him, seemingly forgetting the strength he just showed.
26's view
"Azil, Nic, they are rushing toward me, what should I do?"
"Those weakling are trying to suppress you, kill them and show your dominance.", Azil barks.
Nic interjects: "I don't think that is smart, you should just let them arrest you."
As the guards come closer they each draw a sword and swing it towards me, I dodge them and Azil says: "Just kill them, if that so called queen wanted you to bow down she would have given the order. I mean look at that brat she is just looking at what is going on like it is a show."
"Inspect."

Health 570/570 (stacks: 10-20-30)
I use my blood rush skill to dash towards a lone lv 51 guards, slamming my sword in his abdomen. He lets out a cry of pain and throws up some blood.
"127"
It seems like the armor he is wearing is able to absorb 30 damage. The Health I lost is easily replenished by my life steal. I swing my sword again and chop at his neck. He blocks my hit but I quickly strike again at his sword arm.
"94"
I am not able to chop his arm off but the guard drops his sword, I raise my sword and strike at his neck while activating Blade Wave - Falling Star. Fear flashes in the eyes of the guard and I can hear the cry of another guard: " Diedrick NO! YOU BEAST."
"289"
My blade comes into contact with his neck and blood spews out. There is no armor at his neck, so there is not even damage reduction. Because of that and the double damage bonus of hitting a vital, the damage dealt vastly overshadows his remaining health and his corps falls down. I pick up his sword and throw mine away.
"Inspect."
Standart Military sword: attack 30 - 35
Durability:45/50
A fine sword used by the guards and soldiers of the vampire race, the design of the blade is and old one and was created by the First Progenitor and has never been changed in the entire history of the race.
Scaling: strength: D (+27) dexterity: D (+19)
Level requirement : 35
Seeing the damage and scaling of the sword Azil starts laughing like madmen: "Finally, a decent sword, go wild boy. Show them what true strength looks like, make them fear you!"
"Attack"
Attack:228-243(30-35 weapon +46 scaling x2 class pasive x1.5 blood sacrifice.)
The four remaining guards are all raging with hate after seeing their friend get decimated in front of their now bloodshot eyes. They all rush towards me and their swords start to glow. I wonder what is going on, but I am not going to let them do like they please. I run towards another lv 51 guard and clash with him. Or sword are pushing against each other but he stands no chance, my strength is way to high for him. He falls down and I try to finish him, but the lv 52 lunges at me and I are forced to dodge his attack by sidestepping. Right after I dodge another lv 51 guard comes and shoves his sword in my waist dealing 61 damage. Normally such a hit is not a problem, but with my health reduced by Blood Sacrifice, it is more than a fourth of my maximum health.
Oh god, it hurt so much. I raise my sword and swing at his neck.
"460"
"+61"
The damage is big enough to instantly kill him with the existence of the execution skill. His head is sent flying and lands right before the captain of the guards. My health also gets completely refilled.
He stares at the chopped off head, kneels down and closes its eyes before muttering something. He then stands up and slowly walks towards me, keeping his rage under control. He stabs at me but I parry the strike and follow up with a strike from above. He jumps back to evade it and makes his sword glow blue and then slashes at me from the left. A glint of madness flashes in my eyes and I let the sword pierce my hand.
"79"
I can see the joy in his eyes of being able to hit me. A wicked smile appears on my face and I slash at his neck.
"483"
Another head is sent flying and I pull the sword out of my hand since my health has been refilled by my life steal the wound closes immediately.
There are only two guards remaining. The lv 52 guard runs towards me and tries to hit me, while the lv 51 guard is paralyzed in fear and drops his sword. I run towards the lv 52 guard and dodge his strike and plunge my sword is his abdomen.
"198"
Before he has the chance to react to my hit I twist my sword around and pull it out before slashing towards his neck. But my luck runs out and I miss, hitting his shoulder instead.
"200"
He gets thrown back and spits out some blood before falling down. I walk up to him and raise my sword.
"78"
I throw up some blood and look down to see a sword piercing my back. I swing down killing the guard at my feet.
"122"
"+24"
A large red wound appears on his chest and his eyes lose the light in them, but not before he can mutter: "Abomination"
I turn around and pull the sword out of my back. The guard cowers in fear and even wets his pants, I raise my sword and strike down.
"Stop this, he poses no threat!", Nic shouted.
I stop and say with a sad voice: "I'm sorry Nic, Azil his advice has been helping me more than yours." and chop off his head.
"470"
"+54"
I clean my blade with the clothes of the dead guard and look up towards the girl that is called a Queen.
