[401-600] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 598: Execution: Eztein's battle

“Hey, it’s time to go now.”

Eztein raised his head and saw a guard standing in front of his jail.

The guard opened his jail before saying, “Follow me.”

He currently had nothing with him except for a rugged short. Everything he had with him was confiscated. His body was full of wounds as they tortured him in the past week.

Eztein stood up and didn’t say anything. He just followed the guard silently while looking at his surrounding. He already knew that they were going to execute him.

Those people knew him yet they insisted that he was the culprit. Just by that action, he already realized that the higher-ups of this dukedom were in cahoots with the real culprit.

That’s why he persevered. He could break through the jail if he tried but he just endure it because he didn’t know what his boss was planning. He could also break the jail but he knew that the people who were secretly watching him would appear to stop him at all costs.

He didn’t even know how many enemies were there in the entire dukedom. He had to be careful when dealing with his enemies since his boss was cautious this time.

But well, he also realized that he had to do it this time.

Soon, Eztein arrived at the center of the colosseum.

‘So this is the colosseum that they are talking about… It’s bigger than I expected.’

He said inwardly as he looked at his surroundings. He could see thousands of people watching him as they “boo” at the same time. These civilians believed that he was the culprit behind the murder incidents. They were all filled with hostility against him.

Clang!

Eztein turned his head as a metallic sound echoed behind him.

The guards simply locked the door behind him.

He shook his head and decided to focus his attention on what will going to happen. He didn’t know his boss’ plan but it seems that something big will happen today and he was looking forward to it.

As for now, this show inside the colosseum was his.

Ohm!

Layers of barriers locked down the entire field. It was to protect the audience and to prevent the prisoners from escaping.

Outside the barrier, a man stood up and said, “Today! we are going to witness the struggle of a man that killed hundreds of innocent people of Halbun!”

His voice echoed throughout the entire colosseum.

“We’re to give other prisoners a chance! A chance to gain their freedom! Whoever managed to kill this man will be freed!”

‘Oh, so that’s how they are going to incite the other prisoners to kill me…’ Eztein raised his eyebrows.

“Now, for the first challenger! This man was a notorious criminal ten years ago but he was captured by our great captain of royal guards! His name is Frander!”

A tall man entered on the other side of the ring. Compared to Eztein who had nothing, this man was wearing a full set of equipment. He had a murderous aura leaking out of his body as he stared at Eztein as if he was his prey.

Eztein narrowed his eyes. He knew that he was at a disadvantage as he didn’t have any equipment with him. He could only trust his power level and combat skills that he trained through fighting the forces of the Council.

‘Boss said that my strength should be at the top of S-rank. I already completely solidified my mana pool and I already felt the shackles. Boss said that it was a sign that I can go to the next level.’
