BXBX NOVEL Chapter 25 Blood Ring Arena
A circled stage comprised only of goblins on the spectators seat.
At the center of the circled stage is a boxed iron cage the size of a one bedroom apartment.
"Announcer Job skill activation, sound voice".
After activating his skill, the Goblin stood up from his seat and began making hand gestures as he started addressing the Goblin crowd.
"my fellow goblin spectators. I welcome you to the blood ring battle match"
A loud cheer rose up from the spectators seats.
"a place where powerful foes clash together, and the winner gets to decide the fate of the other"
"only the strong shall survive and the weak\'s blood shall be the legacy to renounce the winner\'s victory".
The announcer waited for while for the cheering to die down before continuing.
"Our contestants for today\'s match in the blood ring, is the blood ring current reigning champion and an Orc that was captured during the battle with the savage orcs".
"introducing on the left, is the savage Orc with an height of three average goblins joined together"
They began booing the orc who had entered the stage with a tattered body.
Orcs, are monsters with a pinkish color and the nose of a pig.
"on the right, we have the reigning champion Goblin whose body count is less than times two of his opponent"
At this point, the Goblins cheered even louder for the champion doned in Grey armor.
"contestants, select your choice of weapon on the weapon stand before entering the blood ring"
The two warriors standing opposite to each other, moved simultaneously to the weapon stand located beside them.
Machetes, bows and arrows, long sword, short sword, great sword, dagger, club, shield, Spear.
All having a distinctive feature of looking rusty and worn out.
The Goblin champion picks up a shield and a short sword, while the Orc picked a club.
"if both contestants are done with picking their weapons, move over to the blood ring arena and go in through the door".
They both followed the instructions of the announcer and entered the iron cage.
"you rotten goblins, you think you can face me one on one and come out victorious?"
"If it was not for your overwhelming numbers and the presence of your king, your kind would not even be able to stand a chance against us".
"says the Orc that has been captured by a goblin".
The Orc was angry that a lowly Goblin could speak to him in such a mockery way.
His eyes filled with blood lust and his clup ready to tear away at flesh.
He raised his club as he verbally threatens the Goblin.
"I will make sure to behead you for your mockery"
"bring it on you savage".
The two warriors moved at the same time with their weapons taking the lead.
The Orc swings his club at the Goblin champion who blocked it with his shield and counterattacked with his short sword.
The Goblin champion aims the short sword at the orc\'s thigh.
"skill, iron body".
Iron body is a racial skill available only to the Orc race.
It turns their skin from head down to the toe into metal that allows them to defend against physical attacks.
Upon making contact with the orc\'s iron body, the short sword bounced off of its body.
The orc took advantage of the opportunity and body slammed the Goblin champion.
The Goblin champion\'s reaction was immediate as he used the shield to tank the orc\'s iron body.
"dear Goblin viewers, this is starting to get more intense as each contestants are pulling each other back"
"I am sure everyone here, me included. Expected the orc with his overwhelming weight to have the advantage against the reigning champion whose weight is lesser than the Orc"
"however, that does not seem to be the case here. Our reigning champion is standing his own grounds and showing the savage Orc that the Goblins are not to be trifled with".
"we might be smaller in size does not mean we are weaker than the savages. We will show them the fierceness of the honorable Goblin race".
The Orc was more furious than ever.
What the annnoucer said was nothing but the truth, and that pisses him off even more.
For centuries, Orcs and Goblins have been at war with one another.
Killing and pillaging each other was the daily norms for them.
Going by their long feudal history, the Orcs have always held the advantage over the Goblins.
In numbers and physical fitness, they overpowered the Goblins by far.
It would take three to four goblins to kill a single orc with no weapons.
That was the massive difference between the Orcs and the Goblins until the arrival of the variant.
Amongst the Goblins was a goblin who was born and raised just like the other goblins were.
Grew up running and surviving from the Orcs was how the Goblins had all lived.
But then, he came and overthrew every norms believed about how goblins were supposed to be.
Strength that surpassed the Orcs, speed that has never been seen before, skill that has yet to be unknown, charisma that boosted the ability of any Goblin under him, birthing large number of goblins with a single round with another goblina.
He had it all, and with it, he placed the Goblins at the very top of the food chain.
The mighty Orcs who were once the superior over the Goblins were now reduced to running from them.
He assembled all the goblins together under one banner, and used its might to threaten the Orcs to extinction.
The leader of the Orcs had no other choice but to give out an order for the tribe to evacuate their domain and go into hiding.
Although defeated, the Orcs never gave up on wanting to regain their lost glory and honor.
They grouped up in smaller numbers and relied on ambush to slowly wear down the Goblins.
That is the fate that had befallen the Orcs that once ruled over the Goblins.
All because of a single entity....
For the Orcs, that incident was an irreversible thorn on their pride.
To think that Goblins, the lowest of monsters would get to rule over the Orcs.
The more they think about it, the more their desire to crush the Goblins raged on.
This orc was no different.
Resentment, anger, hate.
Are the emotions boiling inside of him whenever he comes across a goblin.
That emotions was also what led to him being captured by the Goblins and now being humiliated in the ring.
His deepest desire, is for the total extinction of the Goblin race.
A wish that can only come true if the king of the Goblin dies.
