"What do you think you're trying to do?"
Corey's opponent who previously had an expression of disdain and mockery, now had an expression that was filled with anger.
Meanwhile Corey hearing the words of his opponent turned towards him and with his head tilted slightly, he asked with raised brows and a questioning expression:
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean by 'What do you mean' you piece of shit?
Are you toying with me?
Are you looking down on me?"
Corey's opponent asked with a voice louder than usual due to his rage increasing.
Meanwhile Corey's confused expression disappeared the moment his opponent spoke, and with an indifferent expression, Corey spoke:
"If you're just going to keep on asking me questions without replying mine, then just keepquiet and let's wait for your teammates.
I don't have time to play with kids."
"Oooouuuuu!!!"
Hearing the words spoken by Corey, the crowd in the Amphitheatre made an 'Oouuu' sound, causing the anger in Corey's opponent to increase exponentially.
"You bastard."
With gritted teeth, his opponent spoke, then brought out a green wooden spear from out of nowhere.
He took a step forward and just as he was about to attack, the announcer spoke in a cold and threatening tone:
"You better stop where you are and not take another step forward or the match up would become Five on One without you."
Corey's opponent looked at the announcer with a look that was still filled with rage and just as he was about to speak, the announcer spoke once more:
"The audience want a 5 vs 1 and we will give them a five on 1 fight, not a four on one fight.
Take another step and I kill you myself.
We can just bring in five people instead of the four we're bringing in for this fight.
You're just a red star resident, know your place."
As soon as the announcer spoke with a deep, cold tone, Corey saw his opponent release a dissatisfied grunt, but he took a step back while giving Corey extremely deadly stares.
Corey looked back at him indifferently and a few seconds later, he sat down on the floor and waited for his remaining four opponents to appear.
Three minutes later, four people appeared and the announcer introduced them all.
Corey with a calm expression, looked at the four people who appeared and he noticed that the four had expressions that contained slight anger.
"Is this the newbie runt that thinks he can gain some fame on his first official match?"One of them asked and just as Corey's original opponent was about to reply, the announcer loud voice reverberated throughout the Amphitheatre.
"THE FIVE CONTESTANTS ARE HERE…
SO ARE YOU GUYS READY FOR THE BATTLE?!!"
"YAAAHHHH!!!"
"THEN LET THE MATCH… BEGIN."
"WHOOOOO!!!"
The crowd erupted in cheers and just as the crowd were cheering, Corey's original opponent spoke with a threatening tone.
"I'll make you eat your words."
"Sure…"
Corey spoke indifferently and a second after he spoke,
Woosh
"What-?"
The eyes of Corey's opponent constricted to the limits when he saw the insane speed of Corey's run.
All it too was three seconds for Corey to close the 30m gap between him and his original opponent.
One second was wasted by his opponent due to shock.
Another second was used by his opponent to come out of his shocked state.
The third second was used by his opponent to lift his spear.
The fourth and last second was the last second Corey's opponent, which he never bothered to ask of his name, spent in this life.
Slash
Slash
Slashing with both axes in just one second, the spear holding arm and the head of the man before him, flew up in the air and for a second, the entire Amphitheatre went silent before it erupted into a full blown cacophony of sounds.
"OH MY GOD!!!
DID YOU FUCKING SEE THAT PEOPLE!!!
WHAT IN THE NINE BLAZES OF HELL WAS THAT SPEED PEOPLE!!!
Oh... Holy shit wait, he just killed two more red star residents people.
Am I seeing things people?
They couldn't even react!!"
Just like the announcer mentioned, after killing his original opponent, Corey, not wanting to take any chances, entered his focused state which just made it overkill.
Without any surprises, Corey cut off the head of two other contestants which were close to each other.One was a male, the other, a female.
After killing the two contestants, he spun around and without hesitation, he flung his dual axes at the direction of the last two contestants at a speed which even Corey would probably not be able to dodge unless he was in his focused state.
Thud
Thud
With a thud, the two corpses of the last two contestants fell with an axe stuck in their heads.
Silence
Once again, the Amphitheatre went silent and a second later, a much louder cacophony of sounds erupted around the entire Amphitheatre.
"Wow… Just wow… I'm definitely speechless right here.
I honestly enjoyed that so much and I definitely don't know what to say, except…
DID YOU FUCKING ENJOY THAT PEOPLLEEE?!!!!!"
"YAAAHHHH!!!"
"I SAID… DID… YOU… FUCKING… ENJOY… THAT… PEOPLEEEE!!!!!"
"YAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
"SO LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR THE SILENT KNEE BREAKEEERRR!!!!!"
"SILENT KNEE BREAKER!"
"SILENT KNEE BREAKER!"
"SILENT KNEE BREAKER!"
"SILENT KNEE BREAKER!"
The audience cheered and Corey looked around the Amphitheatre with slightly furrowed brows.
He looked at the mic in the announcer's hand and a second later, he walked towards the announcer calmly.
"What is it?"
The announcer seeing Corey just a few meters below him, asked as he looked at Corey who was beneath him due to him been in the air.
Corey looked up at him calmly, then replied:
"I want the mic."
The announcer raised a brow hearing Corey's request, and with a slight shrug, he dropped the mic towards Corey.
Thud
With the mic in his right hand, Corey looked at the announcer first and he saw a slight smile on his lips.
He then looked at the audience and he saw smiles on the faces of most of the audience.
He remembered clearly, the smile of ridicule and disdain the Pope of the Temple of Flames gave him while he was lying on the ground powerlessly.
He closed his eyes for a few seconds and before he opened his eyes, he released a soft sigh, then spoke:
"I don't like the name you gave me, Mr. Announcer."
Corey paused as he looked at the announcer up in the air calmly, and without waiting for the Announcer to reply, Corey continued:
"Call me Smile Reaper. The person that would reap the smiles off the faces of my enemies."
And so, the legend of the Smile Reaper which would spread throughout the entire Universe began.
