With the defeat of the troll, the audience went crazy to a point where they even forgot about watching the other fights. All their focus was on Bloodbath and his fascinating fighting style.

…

“Grandpa, grandpa, look. Look how cool this guy is. He's trending on all social media platforms.” a young girl said as she showed her grandpa a video of Bloodbath using her Star Watch. Her grandpa sat on his wheelchair with his eyes closed but with the pestering of her granddaughter, he opened her eyes to see what she was so enthusiastic about.

“Okay, okay, let grandpa see what's gotten you so excited.” said the old man as he watched the three minute video.

The video was already edited to only show Bloodbath's fight scenes. The grandpa at first was uninterested but the more he watched, the more engrossed he became.

“Such reaction speed… such battle IQ… is he skilled in both axes and short swords… such decisiveness…” commented the old man.

“Who is this person?” asked the grandpa after he finished watching the video.

“He calls himself Bloodbath and it's his first time appearing in underground fights. Apart from this, there's no other information about him.” answered his granddaughter.

“Such an interesting man. Come, let's continue watching, maybe he'll show us more interesting stuff.”

…

“Ey yo bro, did you see that trending dude on Instragram and Fritter?”

“Bro, that guy's cold! If he hadn't already called himself Bloodbath, I would've called him Giant Slayer since he's taken out big guys!”

“Me too. I wonder what expression Leo would make if we showed him this video, he's a battle freak after all.”

“Bro, that's a fucking good idea! Let's show it to him, remember to turn on the recording function on your Star Watch hehe.”

…

“AAAHHH!!!”

“Cindy, what's wrong?!” said a person as he came crashing into the screaming girl's room.

“OMG! Jason, check this guy out. He's so ruthless and cool, look!” said the girl named Cindy as she showed Jason Bloodbath's video.

“He's alright.”

“He's amazing! I think I'm in love! I wonder what he looks like under that mask. Does he have a girlfriend? Does he love me? What kind of person is he?”

“I think you're getting a little carried away. If you want a boyfriend, shouldn't I be your first option, plus, I can do better than him.”

“Hahaha, you're just jealous. And Jason, I know you love me and I love you too.”

…

In just a few minutes after his appearance, Bloodbath became an Intanet sensation and was trending everywhere. Everyone was glued to their holographic screens as they watched Bloodbath kill his opponents. What they loved most about him was him bathing in blood after killing his opponents which was exciting and thrilling to watch.

…

Although he was currently a hot topic on the Intanet, Bloodbath didn't know about that and even if he did, he wouldn't be surprised because his performance was just so eye-catching. What he was focussing on right now was the participants who had stopped fighting and were all looking at him warily.

Usually, the participants didn't kill each other but instead severely wounded one another but this Bloodbath wasn't going according to the script and was actually butchering them without a moment's hesitation.

Bloodbath could see it in their eyes that many were considering forfeiting the match and coming to fight tomorrow but Bloodbath didn't want that. He hadn't had enough of bathing in the blood of his opponents which was exhilarating to him so the show had to go on.

The participants slowly retreated from him in a cautious and careful manner and once they turned around, dashed towards the barrier to escape but unfortunately it was already too late.

With crimson red eyes that were filled with excitement and bloodlust, Bloodbath did something the participants as well as some spectators had never seen before.

[Killing Aura!]

A crimson energy in a form of gas burst out from his body like an explosion and almost instantly engulfed the battle stage he was in. The crimson energy was thick and heavy but also spread really fast. Because the barrier was spherical, when the crimson fog energy engulfed the arena, the barrier contained this energy within it which caused it to look like a red marble from an outside view. What was happening inside the barrier couldn't be seen by the audience.

Fortunately, the crimson fog energy only lasted for about a minute before it was absorbed back into Bloodbath's body but he still left some to permeate the air. Within the barrier, a strong stench of blood filled the air and all the participants remained motionless without moving a muscle.

Bloodbath walked towards the centre of the stage. This was another cool scene captured on camera, while everyone remained frozen, only he was moving around the stage as if it was his playground. When he reached the centre of the stage, he raised his hands above his head and spoke while letting go of his two short swords.

[LET THERE BE… CARNAGE!!!] he said.

As soon as he said that, his two short swords landed on the floor with a clanking sound and it was also at that moment the participants regained their locomotion. Surprisingly, they didn't move towards the barrier but towards each other. Their pupils were crimson red without a hint of intelligence inside them, like they'd gone berserk. Blood vessels inside the eyes coloured the sclera completely blood red like their entire being was being fueled by fury.

Injured participants weren't taken out of the arena but remained inside even though some had fainted due to severe injuries and even they weren't spared from the red fog's effects. They opened their eyes which were completely coloured in blood red. All the participants then began fighting again but this time, they were more ruthless with their attacks, not caring a bit about their lives and were only driven by the urge to kill… and kill they did.

The participants killed each other in the most gruesome ways possible! Pulling out one's intestines, stabbing continuously, decapitation, mutilation, etc. Blood painted the floor red as corpses lay there.

[HAHAHA! KILL! KILL! KILLLL!!!] laughed Bloodbath evilly as he lay face up on the bloodied floor and did sweeping motions with arms and legs, exactly the same as when children play in the snow to make snow angels. In this scenario, he was trying to make a blood angel.

This time, the audience didn't go crazy in excitement but remained silent. This was their first time seeing such a blood cuddling scene. Hundreds of corpses were littered on the floor and the number was still growing because not all participants had died. Some were complete, some incomplete. The sound of laughter resounded in their ears, the laughter of genuine joy and happiness like a child having fun. The audience had the same question in their minds.

[What's Bloodbath's real identity?!]
