“It’s the round you have all been waiting for!!! The fight between the undefeated champion, and the mysterious hunter who challenged him!!!” – Announcer
I wonder how strong he is…
If it turns out he actually is one of the E-rank exam contestants, then we might have to go up against him.
“The man who is best known as ‘the undefeated champion’. A man who has fought in the colosseum for years, with no other reason than just for his own entertainment…” – Announcer
He fights for his own entertainment…?
I guess not all fighters are do it out of necessity or because they’re forced to then.
“His first battle was when he was still a young man, only 18 years old. That was over ten years ago now… He has fought lots of strong people. People who would otherwise be known as the best… But this gladiator’s very existence takes that title away from them. He bested every beast that has been thrown at him, human or not. Do you want to know what is the most impressive thing about all of this? He did all of this without ever getting hurt. Not even once. ten years of constant fighting, yet no one has managed to land a single strike on him that has left a wound. It’s the unstoppable, the unbreakable, the undefeated champion of the colosseum!!!!!!” – Announcer
A man walks in into the colosseum.
That’s him!
That’s the 'undefeated champion’.
The way the announced talked about him makes me curious about him too…
Is he really as strong as he makes him out to be?
The man continues walking in until he reaches the middle.
Just like all the other contestants we’ve seen so far, he’s not wearing any armor, nor does he have any weapons.
“And now the challenger… As we all know, hunters are the ones at top of the food chain. Their strength is unparalleled and is incomparable to us mere humans. Even the weakest of hunters can rival the peak of humanity. This is due to their control over Divinity. With Divinity under their control, they are no longer limited by their own physical body. Their strength comes from the universe itself! A natural disaster would be an unavoidable event whom none could ever think to overcome. This is not the case for hunters… For they are the natural disasters! With the world itself on their side, they can overcome any obstacle. This is the kind of person today’s challenger is. It’s the mysterious challenger, the F-rank hunter from the Atlas Guild!!!” – Announcer
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
This announcer sure knows how to hype things up…
The hunter enters the colosseum from the other entrance.
He’s big…
It’s hard to tell from here, but he looks like he’s almost three meters tall!
He’s not lacking in muscles either…
It’s like every single muscle in his body has been honed to perfection.
He’s built like a monster!
It might just be my imagination, but it feels like with every step he takes, the ground itself shakes…
But what’s weird is that…
Muscles aren’t all that relevant when it comes to hunters.
Sure, they make you physically stronger, and a person with well-trained muscles would dominate a regular person in a fight.
But…
There is a limit to how much strength they can give you.
I’m still just an F-rank hunter myself, but I’m already way past the regular human limit.
Muscles just cannot compare to Divinity.
So obviously he must be competent at BDM.
But…
Getting muscles like that takes an insane amount of hard work.
I can’t even imagine how much time he must have spent to get to where he is…
It’s not something you can just build in a few months.
Training while using BDM makes it so that your muscles themselves aren’t pushed to their limits, but rather it’s your concentration, and how well you’re able to manipulate the Divinity.
Meaning, to build muscles you, must train without the use of BDM.
Getting to the point where you have muscles like that, it would take years of constant hard work.
But that’s not the end of the story…
The upkeep would be insane too; stopping his training for even a short while would set him back ages.
How does he have the time to train BDM as well?!!
I don’t get it…
The way I see it now, there are two possibilities.
One option is that he is actually pretty weak for a hunter because he’s not good at BDM.
He could have gotten lucky with his F-rank exam, and that’s how he passed.
The other option is that his appearances is due to some sort of specialty.
Maybe a transformation type specialty?
Any F-ranker who can use SDM is incredibly impressive.
Basically, I can’t see him being anything other than either extremely weak, or extremely strong.
This will be an interesting fight…
“And now, let the final battle, the battle between the undefeated champion and the F-rank hunter begin!!!!!” – Announcer
“Good luck.” – Champion
“I need no such thing.” – Hunter
“Heh. Like every other person I’ve fought, I’ll quickly turn that confidence into despair.” – Champion
The champion rushes towards the monstrous hunter.
The hunter just stands there in a neutral stance; he’s not getting ready to counterattack, and he’s not putting up his guard either.
What is he doing?
When the champion gets close, he launches a powerful strike with a visible smirk on his face.
That punch…
I can tell that it’s dangerous…!
His fist is drilled into the poor hunter’s stomach, sending him flying into the wall behind him.
A large hole shaped just like him is left behind in the stone wall.
He’s strong…
He could be a hunter if he wanted to.
No doubt about that!
I wonder why he keeps fighting in a place like this…
“AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE CHAMPION HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!” – Announcer
I guess it was the first option then…
“Wait… Am I seeing things, or is…” – Announcer
“That’s it?” – Hunter
“HE’S BACK ON HIS FEET AGAIN, THE FIGHT ISN’T OVER!!!!!” – Announcer
