“The Duel, won by Spike the Iron Fist!” The commentator announced Spike’s victory with great enthusiasm. The spectators who saw it also cheered excitedly, creating chaos in the arena of the battle.

Meanwhile, Spike looked down at his new iron arm. He felt a power that was truly extraordinary flooding his body now. The power he had never felt before.

What’s this? Is this arm man-made? My strength is truly beyond reason.

Spike drew closer to the monster he had just hit. He saw that the body as well as all the areas of the arena around the monster were completely destroyed, as if it had been hit by something very fast and strong.

“I have already won this fight. Quickly get me out of here!” Spike started screaming, thinking his task was over. However, he saw that the gate, which was the only way out for him to get out of the arena had not been lifted.

“Win? Ahahahahah! Sorry, Spike the Iron Fist, you haven’t won this fight yet. Now, let’s start the next fight!” replied the commentator who clearly heard the order from Spike.

The gate started to open. Spike thought that was the gate for him to get out, but it wasn’t. Something that appeared there would pounce on him.

“Let’s welcome, The Gorlocks!” 

It wasn’t just one Gorlock running in the arena now, but 3 Gorlocks who had the same size and strength as before. There were no other choices for Spike other than to fight them again right now.

“Are you crazy?! I’ve beaten it before. Do you want me to beat them again?” Spike protested in annoyance.

However, the Commentator wasn’t paying attention to Spike’s ramblings. He immediately started the duel between Spike and the monster again.

“Okay, then let’s just start this match right now, The Duel!”

Simultaneously, The Gorlocks ran after Spike’s body. The fighter dodged every attack from The Gorlocks. Jump, run, roll, he did it all.

Until finally Spike found a gap to hit one of them.

“Take this!” 

Spike’s arms heated up as he attempted a punch, and it turned out that the punch hit one of the Gorlocks really hard. The monster was sent backwards until it crashed into a wall in the arena. Spike smirked in satisfaction.

However, Spike had forgotten that two other Gorlocks were still nearby. His head was hit, and the man’s body was thrown away by the blows of the Gorlocks. Even Spike’s body was made like a baseball that was hit one after the other.

He looked at his enemies with a glare. Blood and bruises filled Spike’s face now. His mouth dyed black with teeth that had begun to fall out from the previous blow. 

I can’t die now…

The spectator cheered at seeing Spike who was having a hard time fighting the monsters. Spike was wrong. He thought the spectator was defending him, but no, they were happy to see him lose with so many wounds on his body.

[Prisoner #404 health was low. Extra health and critical damage have been granted ]

Suddenly, Spike’s injuries disappeared a little. He still felt the pain he had suffered, but he could stand straight to attack the Gorlocks again now.

The Gorlocks pounced on him. They weren’t stupid creatures. They knew that Spike couldn’t do much right now, so they showed off one of their ultimate techniques.

“Gorlock Smash!”

“Ohh… The Gorlocks released their ultimate move. Can Spike survive the attack?” exclaimed the commentator to the spectator.

The Gorlocks slammed their clubs down. The ground was shaking violently, and Spike stuck between the cracked ground. The man had no way of escaping after being trapped there. 

Spike looked up. The two remaining Gorlocks jumped at him. It was impossible for him to dodge the attack anymore. Their gigantic bodies were impossible for Spike to withstand even with his amazing iron arm.

[ Cybernetic Nano-Tech Arm Special Ability has been unlocked ]

[ Hardened Wall : every time the user takes the damage, the user can keep that damage to be returned back to his opponent. The amount of damage that can be stored and expended will increase each time ]

Blue light came out of Spike’s arm. There was no other choice because he also couldn’t do much right now. Spike immediately hit the two Gorlocks using his newly acquired ability.

“Take this, you bastard!!”

***

30 minutes had passed. Approximately 30 Gorlocks had been defeated by Spike. His body was numb, enduring the pain from every Gorlock’s attacks he had faced.

In front of the gate, there were still some Gorlocks who had come to fight with him again. It seemed their numbers were unlimited. Spike didn’t know how long he had to fight them.

His iron arm was already starting to reach its limit. It smoked and gave off some horrible sparks. If his iron arm was broken, then there was no hope for him to fight again.

He would probably die miserably in this arena.

“Come here! Let me destroy each and every one of you!”

There were 15 Gorlocks before him now. Spike’s energy was running out. His words just now might just be the last words before he really died.

“Okay, here we are. The Gorlocks have come. Can Spike The Iron Fist survive?”

***

Spike’s body was slumped on the ground, while the corpses of the Gorlocks were strewn around as well. His own body was covered in the blood of the monsters he had defeated.

“It’s amazing. Spike The Iron Fist managed to beat more than 40 Gorlocks with just his bare hands. Is this a sign of the birth of a new Champion in this place?”

Spike’s hearing and consciousness slowly faded away, but he could feel that someone was lifting his body right now. His hand was raised up, followed by the spectator’s cheers that were ringing so loud in his ears.

Just for a moment, Spike smiled with relief. He didn’t believe that he could make it this far. 

But suddenly, something stabbed his body from behind. A sharp object that felt cold when it finally managed to stab him deeper.

“Unfortunately, Spike Bretman, your life will end here. You have violated the rules of today’s duel. No one is allowed to live in this arena…”

Spike’s breath hitched. He didn’t know who stabbed him, he didn’t know why they stabbed him, he didn’t know where he was, and he didn’t know why he was in this place.

[ 20,000 credit has been accumulated into the Prisoner #404 account ]

[ Prisoner #404’s heart rate was low. Commencing Lazarus Protocol ]

Even at the end of his life, Spike died with a lot of questions on his head…
