“Prepare to die, fox wench!” The rat leaped through the air with his ax up.
Stinkz
Rat

HP:100/100
NPC
What is up with the gladiators' names?
Sora backflipped, dodging the rat. She rose with her hammer up. "You want a piece of me? Come and get it!"
The rat charged while squeaking until Garan’s butt landed on the rat.
Stinkz defeated!
Sora's face cringed. Imagining getting crushed by the mammoth's large furry ass turned her stomach.
Uggggh!
Garan rose and turned toward Sora. "Oh! I thought I landed on you."
Sora widened her eyes. "You tried to crush me?"
Garan rubbed the back of his head. "A miscalculation, I suppose. I meant to crush you both. But the wretched rodent didn't move fast enough. My impatient bloodlust got the better of me."
Sora almost forgot the arena battle was meant to be a free for all. She knew Garan didn't care about her, but she never expected him to attack her by surprise. He must have been waiting for the right opportunity to attack her without getting crushed by the competition. Looks like Sora will sleep alone in her cell.
Sora pointed her hammer at Garan. "So you want to start our duel now?"
The mammoth shrugged. "If you live, I shall save you for last. I prefer stronger opponents who don't die so quickly. It ruins the entertainment."
"Are you calling me weak?"
Garan smirked. "Just be lucky I didn't squash you with my rear."
Sora gulped. That thought still haunted her.
Garan turned around and dashed off. Sora will be ready if the mammoth comes back for her.
Near the edge of the arena, Sora spotted a porcupine slamming his spiny back against a hog on the wall, crushing him.

Fon defeated!
After the hog vanished, the porcupine spotted Sora and smiled.
Dob
Porcupine
Brawler
Male
Level: 10
HP:100/100
NPC
The porcupine was short with long sharp quills on his head and back, appearing like a long-bladed brown hair. He wore short leather pants under his fluffy chubby stomach, and two metal gauntlets were on his upper arms.
Sora wasn’t sure if those gauntlets were one weapon from the center of the arena. But even if Dob was shorter than Sora, he should never underestimate a higher level opponent.
“Finally, I get to fight a female!” Dob shouted with excitement.
Sora laughed. “Where are your weapons?”
Dob bent forward, raising his quills upon his back. “I don’t need a weapon! I got my quills for blood tasting!”
He turned around and shot a dozen quill spikes toward Sora like darts.
Dob used Quill Spray!
Sora leaped from the porcupine’s attack, but one quill hit her leg. “Ouch!”
Sora
HP: 10
She pulled the quill out of her leg and tossed it to the ground. The pain didn’t shock her, only her remaining health points. Already her health points went down to five points. One more attack and her unknown death would come. Hopefully, she could heal herself after the battle.
Dob laughed. "Nobody can escape from my quills!"
"Can we just team up and fight the others?" Sora asked.
"Do you think I would be foolish enough to join your side when you can stab me in the back? Here is my answer!" The porcupine turned around and shot his quills again.
Dob used Quill Spray!
Sora sprinted from Dob's attack. There were too many quills to parry. Retreating was Sora's best option.
She approached a polar barbarian and took cover behind him. When the bear turned, the quills stuck his rear end, and he ran off screaming, leaving Sora exposed.
Dob ran toward Sora. "You can't escape from me!"
Oh great! He won't leave me alone!
Sora spotted a rhino brawler beating down a squirrel. That brute should get that pesky porcupine off her tail.
She stood behind the rhino and waved her arms up. "Hey! Over here!"
Dob reached her and smiled. "You can never escape from me!"
He turned his back to face Sora's position and blasted his quills.
Dob used Quill Spray!
Sora leaped from the rhino's back and watched the quill hit the rhino's back.
"Ooooouuu!" The rhino screamed and jumped onto his feet.
Colan
HP:95
He turned around and glared at the porcupine.
Dob shook his hands. "Wait! I meant to hit her!"
The rhino snorted and charged toward the porcupine. "Diiiiiiieee!"
Dob screamed and ran off as the angry rhino chased him.
Sora giggled.
"Hello, cutie pie!" a voice snickered from behind.
Sora looked back, spotting a tall skinny gray wolf standing before her.
Pedro
Wolf
Rogue
Male
Level: 20
HP:200/200
NPC
He had a goody face with ribs showing on his upper body, and his stomach was very hollow. Two thick fangs hung beneath his chubby muzzle, and he wore raggy pants and boots.
He looked down at Sora and smiled. “Want to play with me?”
From behind him, he pulled out two swords. “Because my swords do!”
Both of the wolf’s blades swung toward Sora, and she held up her hammer.
Pedro’s swords deflected off Sora’s hammer, and Sora swung her tail.
When the wolf fell to the ground, Sora slammed her hammer on him. While he was down, she pounded him again.
Pedro
HP:0
The wolf finally vanished, giving Sora a high experience percentage.
Pedro defeated!
Sora earned 20%
Sora sighed. Still below everyone’s level!
She was still below the gladiators’ levels, but at least her attack power went up. With the hammer, her attack power became 20.
When Sora looked around, she realized Maxor, Garan, and she was the only ones left in the arena. That meant will have to fight each other now.
