Chapter 180: 177. The king's goal (3): Battle for life
Zur had made it downstairs and then seeing all the guards running away from the prison he jumped into the water and shot like a jet towards the city.
He was very confused and worried for Jude and soon he got to the road between the city and the prison... then he saw Jude being knocked out by the king's warrior, Sarin.
"Shit." Zur mumbled as he couldn't save Jude now when the woman was there.
'Why did the king have to send her of all people?' Zur gritted his teeth as he looked at the pretty Naga who ordered the guards to take Jude away.
He swam away and got to his hole I'm the city to get a disguise. He managed to get into the coliseum and found a seat, then he saw Jude lying there.
"Do we act?" Lilian who was beside him said and he shook his head.
"There's nothing we can do for him now. At least we spent two days having fun." Zur said with a tired breath and Lilian looked sad.

Jude kept seeing more stat growth notifications in front of him and his vision was still blurry.
He looked around to see the coliseum bustling with people of the Naga race, all vouching for him to be killed.
He looked forward to see more than 20 guards coming at him with their tridents. One of them walked forward, and Jude backed away.
The guard stopped as he saw this and raised a brow. He cleared his throat before speaking.
"You might not be familiar with atlantian culture. Now, you must prove your life's experience of battles here, before you die." The guard finished talking and Jude only had a cautious look on his face.
"May the trial, begin!" The king's voice echoed all around the coliseum and the people let out roars of excitement.
Everywhere suddenly quieted down as Jude closed his eyes. He let out all sounds and focused on himself.
'I can't die here. Even if I have to use that I will. For the future, no... For a future, I can't die here.' Jude opened his eyes and then his skin began to turn to scales, coming up to his face.
His claws extended even more than they do when he turns into a vampire, his pupil became a slit and then he let out a fierce growl before he charged towards the guards there.
'My spirit energy has been restored. I wonder how long I was out for,' he thought as he slowed down and he then furrowed his brows as he stayed calm.
The guards all charged at him with their tridents pointed at him. He continued and charged at the guards, retracting the claws on his finger nails.
"My Lord are you seeing this," the beautiful white haired Naga Sarin said as she bent to whisper in the king's ears.
"Sir, he... He's part atlantian." She swallowed, her tone anxious.
"He's part atlantian?" The king mumbled as he furrowed his brows.
The guards who were fighting Jude were getting absolutely demolished as his increase in strength, speed, perception and awareness we're much more higher than what he could accomplish.
The guards were extremely skilled. The way they moved with their weapons, it was as if they were dancing.
And Jude didn't want to dance with them. He saw right through their moves and attacked them at their important spots like the head, neck, chest, throat, and groin.
It wasn't long, the cheers in the coliseum died down as they looked at the scene. All the guards who engaged in battle with Jude were on the floor dead, with precise scratches to the throat.
Jude jumped up high, turning into a bat and he flew towards the crowd, wanting to fly over and out of the coliseum.
"Is he a demon?" The king furrowed his brows and then he pointed to Sarin who was beside him and signalled here to go down to the arena.
Sarin tapped a ring on her finger and golden liquid substance began to wrap around her body.
The liquid went all around her to form a tight fitted armour that pronounced her curves well and she leapt all the way from the King's side towards the arena below.
All of a sudden it was as if the air broke as a loud soumd of glass breaking resounded and she entered into the arena. It was actually a barrier of the arena that prevents the competitors from escaping.
The part which broke fixed itself and went back to being invisible.
Jude, as a bat, crashed against the barrier and he hit it again and again. Jude fell down from the sky and he fell on the arena before turning back to normal.
"A barrier?" He mumbled as he looked up and then Sarin brought out a small short metal rod which expanded into a spear, and then the top split into three pointed tips. The weapon was ringing with a vibrating metal sound.
She got into a stance and then Jude stood up as he saw Sarin with the golden armour in front of him.
Sarin suddenly blasted towards him from her position and he was absolutely shocked as his eyes widened at the speed at which her Trident got to the front of his face.
*BANG!!*
It was too fast, he couldn't dodge.
Jude was sent flying to the barrier and he crashed against it even more harder than before.
He looked up to the king who just sat on his throne with his face hidden behind a veil.
"Tsk."
'Here goes all of my spirit energy.' Jude thought before dashing to Sarin at almost the same speed as her.
His entire body became wrapped in a thick blue aura of spirit energy and he felt his body being overflowed with power.
His speeds suddenly skyrocketed and he instantly reaches Sarin.
He grabs her head before smashing her into the ground, breaking the hard ground of Atlantis which wasn't possible before.
He held both of her arms and then the energy in him seeps into her body, causing her to struggle while groaning.
Her groans soon become screams as the energy comes to corrupt hers and then a huge wave of spirit energy from both of their bodies blasted outwards in the surrounding, the barrier of the arena cracks as the explosion reaches it.
Jude backed away as he staggered and stood up with much struggle.
[Spirit energy: 1/410]
'Its dangerously low now.' Jude said feeling a bit tired and then he smiled as his theory worked.
The king, seeing what happened, stood up from his throne and grabbed his Trident.
