Chapter 382: Demons and Achievements
In Mantiri Prison, Barrett leaned against the wall, sat on the hard rock ground, and wrapped his silent 'roommate' with his right arm with the number printed on it.
"I'm good at killing, and I like it better," he said softly to his roommate. "I killed thousands of aliens and beasts, and the number of humans who died at my hands was not small. But why would I Are you suddenly bored because you are fighting to the death in the arena?"
"Be clear in advance, I'm not the kind of sympathetic person." The barbarian straightened his roommate's head against his shoulder, "If someone said to the adventurer in the Bay of Pigs, 'Hey, this guy Barrett is very soft-hearted. ', then he will be suspected of being insane by everyone."
"You must want to ask why, don't you?" The roommate nodded helplessly under Barrit's fiddle, "Then I'll tell you, because there are hundreds of people who died indirectly at my hands. Of course, that's not to say I killed them outright, I wasn't that..., bloodthirsty. I mean, those people died under my leadership, and there were a lot of lads who weren't even adults, I was fed into that dangerous forest."
"So, you see, I don't like to pity others. But why do I feel an indescribable depression in my heart? Even the guys I killed in the arena didn't even have a human being, they were all A dwarf is the only nasty species such as war saurians or orcs, and the only thing that has a better relationship with humans is a dwarf, but that guy's demeanor is quite crazy, and God knows what evil things he has done."
"Besides, the arena is like this. Either you die or I die. So, I have the right to kill them, and in future gladiatorial fights, I will continue to kill with the same right, right?" Barrett turned his head sideways. roommate asked.
"Yes, that's it, because you're a gladiator!" A hoarse voice came from the other side of the wall. "By the way, why do you always like to chat with that skeleton lately? It's not a good sign, my friend. "The soul merchant said, "Tell you, the last prisoner in your cage also had the same hobby as you, and later he..."
"What happened next?" Barrett asked curiously.
"Later, he was caught in the throat by a bone in the soup and suffocated to death." The soul merchant replied solemnly, "His soul was transferred to another cage, waiting to be slowly corrupted."
"...Thank you for the warning, I will be more careful when I drink soup." Barrett said angrily.
"Hey, there are only two living people in this compartment now, you and me, would you rather talk to a skeleton than chat with me?" The soul merchant was a little dissatisfied, "This is so sad. ,my friend!"
"When I'm bored, or I need answers, I choose you, the know-it-all," Barrett said, "and when I just want to talk, this taciturn roommate is me. better choice."
"Oh? So, you already have the answer in your mind?"
"I don't need an answer," Barrett replied. "I'm just being locked up for too long and I'm mentally exhausted, that's all."
"I'm afraid it's not just that, my friend." The soul merchant knocked on the wall twice, hoping that Barrett would listen to him carefully, "It seems to me that after listening to my previous story, you are worried that you will Contaminated with the blood of innocent people in the arena, you will gradually lose yourself and become corrupted like the tyrant in ancient times. Moreover, the young man Martin turned into a ghost will definitely bring you It was a big touch.”
"Sigh..." The soul merchant sighed, but his tone was full of pride in seeing through the problem, "The reason why I told you that story is that you should be careful about the endless tricks of the devil, not to let you compete in the competition. It's timid in the field. Well, how come the proverb says, 'The less you know, the better your sleep'."
"Hmph, I definitely won't be soft-handed in a duel." Barrett said in a deep voice.
"However, your heart will be burdened by this, isn't it?" The soul merchant said triumphantly, "Although you like killing, you find that this kind of killing in the arena is not something you can control. He and you There's a big difference between hunting in the forest, or fighting with others."
"If one day, your opponent is an innocent human being trapped here like you, he fails to kneel on the ground and asks for your forgiveness, but you can only help him in the end, because you have to do it. Immediately after , you'll kill the second, the third, the fourth, and then you'll get used to it, like the tyrant 'Elliott'. You're worried deep down that this will actually happen."
"...Will it happen?" Barrett asked, frowning.
"Of course, my friend!" said the Soul Merchant in an extremely exaggerated tone, "Where do you think this is? This is Barto Hell, this is Mantiri! People are deprived of all dignity and hope~www.mtlnovel .com~ Having to compete with each other for survival is a no-brainer. Let’s face it, my friend, it’s good to be alive.”
"This is not a good answer." Barbarian was even more depressed, "I didn't ask you to tell me these annoying things, and that's why I prefer to talk to this skeleton."
"But I solved the doubt in your mind, didn't I? It can't do that." The Soul Merchant said with a smile.
"It didn't make me feel better after unpacking!"
"That's because you're not strong enough, my friend." The soul merchant's tone suddenly turned dull, "Although your body is as strong as an ogre, your heart and mind are like a goblin. Although fighting and fighting will make you The nerves get tough, but it doesn't make you strong inside. You've faced too few choices, not the boring ones like what to eat tonight, but the ones that make your heart Torn apart and painful..."
Barrett was silent. He recalled his past and found that he had experienced life and death, but he did not have the difficult choice that many soul merchants say.
"Have a good rest, my friend, the second battle should arrive soon." After the soul merchant said this, his voice gradually disappeared.
With a sigh, Barrett lay on the dirty straw mat and called out the [Mission Log] by the way.
In the [Achievement] column, under [Blood-Blooded Body], there is a new achievement at this time. This achievement popped up suddenly when Barrett finished his first duel, and it was called [Arena Master]
"Even you want me to keep fighting on that piece of yellow sand?" he said softly.
