2022-12-05 21:42:171 day has passed. Leading up to his fight with Vahn, Spike was given no time to get out of the cell he was in. All day he trains to be able to increase his stamina as well as strength he has.
In the previous battle, he only got 3000 Credit Points along with one strange item called the Amulet of Hardness. As it's almost time for the fight, Spike checks what the Amulet's function really is.
[ Amulet of Hardness ]
[ Rarity Type: Common ]
[ Power: Give users a slight amount of strength. Can be accumulated with other Gears ]
As Spike read the lines before his eyes, he found this gear completely useless. He didn't know how much strength he would get from the gear.
Instead of getting nothing, Spike also chose to wear it now heading into the arena.
[ Prisoners #404 will be commencing Spartan Protocol. Please wait ]
The robotic voice resounded in the cell of his room. The voice that had signaled his fight with Vahn would come back soon.
Spike looked back at his iron arms, he wished that the fight he would have for today would be a fight that would end quickly. Whether it was on Spike's side or Vahn's.
He didn't want to see someone suffer in that arena later.
“Spike, how do you feel waiting for your first prisoner duel now?”
Spike who was facing the gate heard a voice from behind him. The voice was none other than the voice coming from Hudson. The man was welcoming him into his first duel fight now.
Looking at the back, Hudson was still on the screen without revealing his form. Just rows of sound waves going up and down.
“Did you do this to all the prisoners? Ask them how they are before the fight starts?” he asked. Leading up to his fight, he managed his emotions to stay calm. Because previously, Spike would always be angry and on fire when interacting with Hudson.
"No, you should be grateful. I'm only doing this for you. You are a special prisoner.”
“Why do you care about me? Aren't I just some kind of experimental product that you saw develop into the trash or a useful product right?" asked Spike again.
“Hmmm...” Hudson's hum was long. He seemed confused to answer the response from Spike just now.
“You are indeed a prisoner of mine, but you are different from the others. If you don't believe me, just look where you are now. You should be dead, but you can still be here interacting with me. Isn't that a privilege?"
Spike looked down and looked at his iron arms again this time.
"Is this iron hand, is one of your generosity?" he asked straightforward
Hudson was just silent. He didn't answer anything.
“Why are you silent? You were so talkative and had so much bullshit earlier!”
The gate was opened, and the sound of sirens and also the opening song from this arena resounded clearly. Spike, who looked back, was greeted by a light breeze and thick dust that began to enter his cell.
“That's enough time for me to welcome. Now, get out there. Kill your enemies…”
One thing that Spike doesn't understand, Hudson seems to dodge when he's asked about his iron arm.
Spike still doesn't understand what made Hudson like that. It's as if Hudson doesn't know what really happened to Spike's iron arm either.
There's no turning back anymore for Spike. He must do it now.
The vast expanse of the field makes the wind blow very hard. He closed his eyes because he didn't want to get die ridiculously while there.
The iron-armed prisoner had yet to sense the existence of Vahn he was up against. He had no idea what was going on in the field but Vahn seemed to be able to hide his presence.
[ Spike the Iron Fist versus Vahn the Night is on the arena right now. Spartan Protocol will be started soon ]
The dust from the arena stopped moving. Silent and makes Spike's field of view wider.
Right in front of him, he saw a spiky-haired figure wearing sunglasses crossing his arms now. He smiled faintly, exuding an air of straightforward self-confidence about him.
“Hi... Welcome to the arena...” Vahn said greeting the current Spike.
“Ummm... Hi?” Spike found it quite odd. Vahn who was supposed to be his opponent instead greeted Spike warmly right now.
“I believe that this is your first fight against a fellow prisoner. But I will guarantee that everything will go smoothly…”
“You have a high level of self-confidence. I can appreciate that...”
"Ahahahaha of course. Confidence is what has kept me going until now!”
[ Spartan Protocol begins now! ]
The system says that the fight in this arena started.
Spike swiftly immediately got into a stance so he could be protected from the attacks Vahn was about to throw at him.
“Wow... you look like a seasoned fighter. For a split second, I was scared to fight you just now.” Vahn said intimidating.
"You should be afraid of me. Go forth!”
From his pouch, Vahn took out and opened a butterfly knife. And for some reason, Spike felt really weird right now.
He, who had previously seen fights between the top ranks with super abilities, was now only served by low-grade weapons used by village thugs.
“That… that's all you got to fight me?” asked Spike a little disdainfully.
“Yes… I think this alone is enough against you”
Feeling that the probability of winning was extremely high, Spike immediately ran over and prepared to hit Vahn with his iron arm.
"You underestimate me too much. I'm sure you saw my fights with those Gorlock monsters before and thought that was all I was capable of. Let me tell you, you have misjudged me!”
Spike was just about to try to smack the head off of Vahn now. With the surrounding heat and the temperature of the iron arm being quite high, it was impossible to dodge for a short period of time.
“No Spikes. I didn't underestimate you at all."
Everything suddenly went dark. No, Spike's sight is gone now. Spike who had noticed Vahn was right in front of him earlier started to become hesitant. He didn't believe that Vahn might have been on the other side by now.
"No! I'm blind! What have you done to me!”
“Spike... The reason I'm smiling isn't that I underestimated you. But because of that, I'm sure this battle will be a very exciting battle!”

Spike was terrified that Vahn would suddenly attack him in a vital spot. He was certain that his current state was one of the abilities that belonged to Vahn. [ All Skills were active. Strike of Heracles and Hardened Walls were available to use ] Spike remembers it, he got the Hardened Walls skill when fighting the Gorlocks. Under these circumstances, a skill like that would definitely be very useful for him to use. “Hardened Walls!” Spike shouted activating his skill. “What skills are those? I thought you only had one skill?” Vahn's response heard the scream from Spike just now. "A gambler never shows his trump card!" Even though Spike still couldn't see anything right now, he was confident that he would be able to survive if he activated the skill. Vahn not knowing what the skill was, just immediately tried to attack Spike in his blind spot. “The Butterfly Knife is not a weak weapon. You will feel the pain right now!” From behind, Vahn tried to stab Spike towards his solar p

The siren sounded loud and the intensity of the beat was so fast that Spike was quite scared and panicking now.

That man was pounding on the gate hoping someone would get him out of this arena soon."Hey! Quickly get us out of here!”“It's useless...” Vahn replied while still in his bad state.“Everyone must be trying to save themselves right now. The heartless robot guards are no exception.”Spike slammed into the metal gate that was protected by several layers of metal and iron. It was useless, his arm still wasn't strong enough to cut through it all right now. "I told you, it's useless. We can only wait here until everything is over…”Giving up on the situation, Spike leaned against the gate hopeless for now.His gaze was directed upwards, making him realize something.“Wait, is it normal for no one to watch when a lower-ranked prisoner

Reply the two children answered by nodding and so nervous. They were holding the teddy bears in their hands right now tightly. Behind it is a trigger that can be pressed for something“From now on, if anything happens don't come back to me. I'm not going to look for you. Go!"The man with a tall body and wearing a fedora hat left the presence of the two twins now. Mixed in with the crowd that was around the bustling place right now.“Vahn… this is a very important task. We can't mess it up!” Said the boy to his twin brother. Both of them could not hide their nervousness and fearful expressions.“Vahn! You must believe in yourself! You can definitely do it!” The twin brother of the boy held his shoulder hard while screaming. He had to steel his brother's mind now.

"That's the only memory I have so far. I realized that I might have done something bad in the past. However, my greatest regret is not being able to save my older brother on my own...“ Vahn said finishing his story.“Wow... that's pretty blue. Do you hope to meet him in the future?""I don't know, I don't even know what to say to him the next time I see him. I'm sure the figure he saw when he saw me now is completely different from before."Spike stood up, he was quite amused by the story Vahn had given him. Because of that, it's enough to release the fatigue of doing nothing in this arena.As he looked back at Vahn, he realized that the man's body had almost recovered to its previous state of health."Hey, wait. Isn't your body recovered now? All the bones inside your organs are nowhere to be seen! The flesh and skin have covered them!"“Yeah... I can feel it too. As it turns out, my skill really works."Suddenly, the gate that was behind Spike opened now. But the siren still didn't

Hiding behind a large box, Spike saw a man who strangely had bull-like horns on his head face to face with the robot guards.Behind that man, there were two people who also had strange physical appearances. One has a tail with fire on the end and the other has scaly skin like a reptile."Who are they?" Spike asked in a whisper to Silver as well as to Vahn.“Barro, Rhond and also Visco. They are members of the gang The Chain. They are always seen together in every situation. But what's weird now is, where are the other members of The Chain?” said Silver confused.“Maybe they're splitting up to find a place to get out. I don't know them, but what I know is that Barro has strong ambitions to become the leader of The Chain."Barro, the head of the bull, clenched his hand towards the guard as if challenging him to a duel immediately.“Let us through! Or I will use your iron as my new weapon!” Barro said.[Prisoners #342 has been violating the rules. Lethal system allowed ]“You only mentio

With bloodstained guns around him right now.Finally, Spike could breathe a sigh of relief.“What the hell! You never said that the robot has the power to neutralize power?” he asked."Better for you to know firsthand than for us to tell you. The point is, you probably realize how dangerous those robots are by now. Do you still want to fight him with your current strength?”Spike was silent, he realize he was not able to fight it."Then let's hurry up.

Meanwhile, the Gears that Rexes had bought before had suddenly turned rusty and impossible to use again“Bastard! What exactly happened just now!” Spike shouted in surprise and disbelief.Silver stood up, whereas Vahn drew closer to the two of them. as if they already understood what they saw.“One gets consumed by one's own greed, and that's what happened to Rexes. What an idiot” Silver said.“This is the first time I've seen someone become like that. Turns out the myth is true...” Vahn responded.Spike cleaned the blood splatter from his face, walking closer to the body of Rexes.“He doesn't look like a human now, more like the Monsters in the Dungeon.
