Chapter 266  Chrome City (Part II)

"My lord, I'm sure this place would interest you." Continuing our walk, Eliz led us to a colosseum.

This is a misconception most people have. I was not interested in seeing people fight just for the sake of it. Watching people fight got boring when people were predictable and most of them were weak.

I didn't know the average power level of this world, but considering this is the realm where the gods reside, something interesting is bound to happen. There is also a need to check the power level of the people in this town.

"Ms. Belmug! What can I do for you?" On our way in, an employee of the Colosseum seems to recognize Eliz.

"My guest and I would like the best viewing experience for the upcoming fight."

"Which fight are you referring to, Ms. Belmug? We have beast against beast, warrior against beast, and warrior against warrior." The Colosseum employee asked.

"Citylord, which fight do you prefer to watch?" Eliz looked at me, giving me a choice. The employee was rather shocked by Eliz's words.

"Give us the warrior against the warrior." I told them my choice.

"Citylord! I'm sorry for not recognizing you earlier!" I stared at the employee and gave him a weird stare.

"It would be strange for you to recognize me since I took the position of citylord a few hours ago." The employee blushed at my words, embarrassed.

Everyone around me chuckled at his reaction. I wasn't trying to ruin the employee's reputation or anything, but at least it lightened the mood.

In the end, the employee gave us a VIP seat. The VIP seat was many times more comfortable than the regular seat. Being surrounded by people you don't know would be tiring.

"Master, should I get us some snacks?" Kelsy, who was with us, spoke. As her duty, she felt like she needed to do something.

"No need." In just a snap, I could conjure food. It's a shame I can't change the taste of the food. Otherwise, I would use this more often.

My curse was helpful through unconventional means. If I added more calories to the food, then it would work.

"That's certainly useful. Is there anything different about these snacks?" Eliz was curious about my ability, but I didn't discuss much of it.

"Not much." I didn't dare tell her that her weight would increase more if she ate these snacks.

Popcorn, chocolate, sweet candy, and fruit soda. I could make more, but that would waste too much space.

"I haven't seen some of these snacks. Could you tell me about these?" Eliz grabbed the gummy sweets and popcorn and asked.

"Have a taste. You won't regret it." Stalling for time, I had these two try them out. Kelsy initially hesitated, but I told her not to worry about it.

Once they took a bite of the snacks, they were surprised by the taste. Moments later, the battle would soon begin. The two competitors were introduced, and bets were made. The first was someone named Melgur, and the other was Geoffrey.

"Ms. Belmug, do you know the competitors?"

"I have heard of Melgur. He's the current champion. As for Geoffrey, he might be a new competitor."

With the two contestants introduced, all we needed to do was wait. It didn't take long before the two went on stage.

Looking at the two, both gave off the vibe of veterans in terms of fighting alone. Yet one of them would overwhelm the other.

This is what I dislike about watching a fight. When you develop an instinct for how powerful one could be, you can tell the results before the fight starts.

Of course, there were exceptions to this rule, but only at times like those would a fight genuinely shine.

"Citylord. What do you think of Melgur?" Eliz asked.

Melgur is a giant that wields an oversized axe. He was topless, but he wore a helmet on his head. I didn't understand his style, but if he got a championship, I wouldn't judge him for his style.

"He's decent." By decent, I meant he was decent in my previous world. Since this is where the gods reside, I had expected more.

"Decent? Does that mean you're confident in beating him?" Eliz was surprised by my remark. She had never seen true power if she thought Melgur was someone great.

"Of course. I can easily crush him, if I must say." Eliz smiled at my words and looked at the fight.

"Instead, you should watch out for the man named Geoffrey." Those were the only words I would offer as the battle had begun.

The two fighters were talking, and Melgur taunted Geoffrey, giving him the first move. I wanted to slap my forehead while watching this. Melgur's reputation would be ruined after this.

Geoffrey didn't express any feelings toward Melgur's taunt, and he did just that. Most of the audience was stunned by Geoffrey's speed.

His weapon of choice was a twin dagger. He had long arms and legs, but because of his slight build, it wouldn't be surprising if someone underestimated him.

Geoffrey had already reached a stabbing distance from the champion and lunged at his target's heart.

Even when caught off guard, Melgur managed to put his guard up instantly. Despite doing so, Geoffrey's force was at a different level.

The axe and his wristguard shattered, and his heart was ripped out, leaving him dead on the ground. It was gruesome yet compelling. I love this man's style of doing things.

This upset the crowd, as Melgur was the fan favorite. I bet many people had bet on Melgur but had lost a lot due to this fight.

"Citylord. It seems like you're right." Eliz gave a bitter smile after seeing Melgur lose.

Eliz may also have made a bet, and I wouldn't blame her for picking the one with the higher odds.

"Kelsy, Ms. Belmug. I am going to have a conversation with the winner."
