99 victories

Putting aside the matters with the Sword God, as now there wasn't anything that I could do. If my knowledge was true, there were 9 months until Tang San entered to Slaughter City, meaning that to follow my plan I needed to finish my 100 victory before that. As I showed my progress against Hu Liena and when I destroyed the room's wall, I really didn't have any reason to go slow, so I decided to finish the sooner the better.

After resting for 1 week stabilizing my comprehension and getting used at the new wisdom gained by the Skull Bone, it really was a big headache all week along, I went to the Hell Slaughter Arena to sign for a match. I was blocked at at my half-step in Sword Heart and the best way to advance will be by combat, in this environment seemed specially made for me, I don't really need live and death battle, continuing increasing my Killing and Death Intent will be enough.

Arriving at the Arena I went to the desk to sign. Seeing me coming, the black-masked woman at the desk stood up and bowed to me "It's a pleasure to see Mr. Slaughter Sword again in the Hell Slaughter Arena"

"Slaughter Sword?" I asked confused, they usual referred to me as Blanch or my ID number and it was strange for black-masked to bow.

"For your record of 9 victories at the Arena and your strength, it's the nickname that was decided for you. Of course, If you don't like it, we will try our most in changing it" She explained.

"I don't mind. Now, for what I am here. I want to participate in the next match" I demanded.

"Of course. With you, there will only 1 person left so the match will start shortly" She said.

"Can I request something?" I asked.

"What would it be?" She tilted her head.

"I want to finish this quickly, I want to be signed for all the matches, without any stop, every time that there's a match I want to be there, I don't want for other to have the opportunity to run away from me" I grinned.

"I don't know if it's possible. In the case of your death, it will have to change matches time and turns" She said with doubt.

"You already know that there aren't that many matches, rarely finding before one match the next one already prepared. At worst it will be a little change that won't have any real impact" I argued.

"I'll need to ask to around, when a decision is made, we will communicate you" she said.

I flashed a smile "Thank you" and left the desk.

After 3 hours I was told that my next match will be tomorrow at 10, they also communicated me that my request was accepted, causing my a grin that scared the messenger who had difficulty to even leave due to his trebling legs.

This request was very important to maximize my speed. In Slaughter City, there's a very little number of people that try to achieve the 100 victory, most being happy to only staying and enjoying all the pleasure and depravity of the Inner City. This caused that most of the participants at the Arena, only participate when they don't have any other option. Each victory in the Arena, it will permit stay in the Inner City for 1 year, the people usually expending this year before being forced to participated again.

Theoretically, if there hadn't been limit of victories in the Arena, always being able to participate, with my request, after a year of continuous winning, I would have cleaned all the Inner City, leaving only a pitiful number of people who had more victories than needed to stay.

As I fought, surely my infamy would grow, to the point that people would try to evade me. The rules of the City prevent people running away from the Arena, but some enough intelligent people will try to evade fighting me. How can it be done? It was easy, it was as simple as taking advantage when I already was signed in a match to prepare the next match without me being able to participate as I couldn't have signed before finishing my match. In a extreme, with only the sacrifice of 9 people, all the other people could sign for a match, creating a year without any combat at the Arena instead for rookies. Of course, this was a very improbable and extreme situation, but surely there would be some cases that slowed my victories.

Thanks to my request, this problem is resolved. Any person that his year is finishing would need to die under my sword without any possible escape other than die before, thus maximizing my speed, even if people try to spend most of his time before participating a constant flow of competitors will be created.

Of course, this request didn't go without risk. As it was accepted, I would be forced to participated in any match, without any rest. If people are enough intelligent they would sign all at the same time, creating a never ending matches against me, trying to tired me out. There will be a lot of sacrifices, sure, but they may be some possibility for me to die. I didn't really think that this would be much of a problem, humans only see for their own interest, they wouldn't sacrifice themselves for others.

The next day was my match, I easily swept my rivals, not needing even a minute to finish the match as the strongest was a spirit ancestor.

It continue as normal, but little by little, the people started realizing that I was participating in all matches, at my 17 victory for the first time I had 2 matches at the same time. It was funny seeing the grin faces ,of the people that thought they were so intelligent, disappearing replaced by despair faces. There's not need to explain that all of them died.

With 20 victories I was voted, yeah there's ranking by votes, the most feared person in the Arena, capable of attacks close to spirit skills, the number 1 person you didn't want to face at the Arena. The people who were trying to obtain 100 victories stopped participating, as the have time to live in the City to spare, they decided that it wasn't worth and that they will wait until I finish my 100 victories or in the case of the people who had more than 50 victories, that there were 2 people, they decided waiting until my 50 victory. Even with my request, the little rules of the Arena were kept, people with more than 50 victories being impossible to face each against the other. So for the people forced to participate in the Arena before I complete my 100 victories, their only option to not face against me, would be when I had won 50 victories, facing against one of the other two with more than 50 victories.

Of course, that was if that two wanted, a lot improbable, as I may let it fall, that something like that would make me very mad. Even if it was impossible to face against each other in the Arena, they didn't have this protection in the City. Of course I only do it to see the face of despair of the people and ridicule that two not daring to face me.

It was funny walking around the City looking how the people opened space for me with terror in their faces. I felt myself as Moises with people being water, opening at my path. It didn't pass a lot of time until I was bored about it.

In my way for the 100 victories I had only one problem. A group of strong people, formed by 5 spirit douluos, decided that it was enough, the called themselves Sword Breakers, and decided killing me. They forced other people to participate in the Arena, I also thought of that option forcing people to participate, letting them choose a kick death or a painful one, but if there's no need I prefer to not do it, I liked seeing how people faces gained despair, knowing that little by little they hour to die approached without stop, rather than "Hey, I'm gonna kill you", it's a difference with manners.

They forced this people to sign in group. The signed a total of 16 continued matches, thinking that they would face a tired me.

1 day of unstopping fighting and 144 dead bodies later I obtained my 41 victory. The truth was that they didn't ave any opportunity of victory. One of the most important facts about breaking throug the Sword Heart Domain was being able to use the World's Will, this really lowered the consumption of mental and physic energy when using intent and domain, of course there weren't anyone strong enough to make me try my Sword Heart, that would have really exhausted me.

And even if I tired with any match, I could always incapacite all my rivals and using the time to rest, there's the rule that it can't pass 20 minutes without any death, with 9 people to kill, it was close to 3 hours of resting if I wanted, not that I needed.

The funniest thing was that the called 5 Sword Breakers were so scared that decided not to sign for themselves, that after making known to everyone that wanted to listen, and some that we're forced, of their plan. They really thought for a minute that I would let them live after that, they really underestimating me, what I am thinking of they were, and a complete idiots.

After my 16 matches I hunted them down. It was incredible easy to find them, when everyone that face you spat all their information in fright of you, this is called respect! Thanks to different people I found them all together in a room. At least, they were enough intelligent for that room not being any of them. I used my not complete Sword Heart killing them instantly, the practice made the master.

After that little problem, the next matches starting happening little by little, against people who was forced by Slaughter City rules, little by little winning my matches, most of them against weak people. It took me 5 months to win 99 matches, today being my last. With my 16 months spent, If I win this match I will be ranked the 13th fastest in the story of Slaughter City.
