In the dark alleyways, every streets there are people with dead fish like eyes who was malnourished and suffering from depression without a desire to live.
Even some taking an addictive medication that loses their minds.
However some people was once a powerful figure in the past but their life just went upside down.
Smokes from the city factories, a polluted place that was not good for the environment.
Deep within the alleys.
There's an particular building that was stands out the most from the other.
Nexus saw on the top of the door there's a writting sign called "Death arena". They went inside and a slim guy with a sword on his back.
He then assisted them on the inside and said "Do you know what kind of place this is?" nexus already knew all of it, but the mercenary do know a thing or two.
"A little" nexus said.
"Since that's the case… The death arena, wasn't just a life and death battle. It's survival means freedom for the fighter. A death row inmates and slaves for them, the arena means everything." He stopped in the depths of the building.
Placed his hand on the wall, A light followed his hand and the wall moved. Inside was a plain metal made of meteorite stone.
Upon entering the sealed space.
Suddenly it went down in a moderate speed, after sometime they started hearing a loud and cheerful noise beneath them.
"Go!! Kill him!!"
"Fight!! I bet my entire life savings on you!!"
"Kill him or I will kill youuu!!"
A two fighter battling to death, and spectators crowded the entire arena.
They went straight to the main, where the slaves and the prisoners were kept.
Inside the main building, a large number of cages were placed each of them was a slaves and deep within the building a theres a sealed room where they kept the inmates.
You won't even a hear a thing from their mouth.
The dead fish eyes, a person who lost his will to live.
Humans or beast races. But the one thing that's stands out the most on some of them was the desire to live.
Nexus saw something from the various races in the corner of the main building.
"he's the perfect guy to the death land of the middle sector"
In the corner it's the same race of the middle sector, a bone vulture in humanoid form.
He has his wings and a bone like that of a skeleton. "He gives off an quite of an aura huh" He whispered, and approached him in the corner.
The other beasts that was far away from the bone vulture said.
"That human… does he not want to live anymore?"
"He just delivering himself to be the food of that madman"
However when they saw nexus approaching while the aura of bone vulture was emitting.
"Hey, do you want to get out of here?" Nexus asked him.
In an instant he extended his arms outside the cage trying to reach nexus but he failed.
"Just mind your busines!!" He yelled at him.
Nexus turned his back on him "Is that what you relly want…" He uttered "Who wants to gain a their freedom" His voice echoed all the way to the depths of the main building.
In that moment all of them wanted to have a taste of a freedom no matter the costs.
"Please wait a moment… Get me out of here and I will give my life for you" The bone vulture said in a desperate voice.
"Why should I?" Nexus looked back and glanced unfazed "There's a bunch of guys here and I won't gain much from you."
"If you let me out of here and let me fight on the arena… I will prove myself for you"
"Fine" he agreed.
The other guys also was jealous and would like to see the outside world. They swear an oath of loyalty to nexus.
"Since that's the case, I will take you all out"
With a 5 thousands of followers, the forbidden land will be filled of powerful powerhouses.
Nexus called the guy from before and would like to purchase not just the bone vulture but also all that swears their life to him.
"But, that would be a enormous amount of 1,500,000 mid spirit stones" The guy was unsure if he can buy all of them.
"I don't know if you know but… maybe a few of them will do—" He stopped mid sentence as he saw nexus pulled a out inside his storage ring.
A radiant, almost like a miniature star inside and extremely condensed powerful aura.
The looks on their face went 360 degree, eyes went wide open and surprised.
"Please wait for a second" He said and disappeared.
After a dozen of seconds the guy was with a guy who seems to be a high ranking in this place.
He looks like he came in hurry as soon as possible "Uhmm, forgive my subordinates for not recognizing the VVIP guests, I'm the one who runs the underworld, death arena. Corpius, The gold miner"
"May I see the peak stones you have their?"
"Sure" Nexus replied.
With one look from him, he was sure that's a peak stones. Then the payment of 15,000 peak stones for all of the slaves.
Successfully completed.
The slaves seal from the previous owner was been removed, Corpius asked nexus "Place your hand over their head before releasing them out" Nexus replied "There's no need for trouble just let them all out at once".
"No, No, No you can't do that or else you won't know if they will stab behind your back—Even I can't possibly stopped this madmans"
"I will take accountability for them" Nexus smiles.
Corpius waved his hand and the cages that was like prisons for them and the slaves seals that was choking their heads…
Has been all removed.
Right now, they're all a large armies.
Their interests have unites and the thoughts they had was to either leave this place or…
Take out their new master.
