[ A / N: The 3rd volume will be starting from here, the facts and scenes I will be using will differ greatly from the reality, so please don’t correct if you do find things happening differently from how it really is. Alright now, let’s start. ]

The wild roars of the crowd from all around shook the entire collosium, standing at the centre of it Jayden looked around and saw hundreds of thousands of people shouting loudly.
There were high platforms too where the important people would sit but it was impossible for Jayden to see the people sitting there for some reason, there were several doors all around and two doors which were the biggest.
There were metal rings placed around his wrists and ankles and strange patterns were inscribed on them, just at a single glance it was obvious that they weren’t just normal shackles.
Soon the sound of sliding came from all around and most of the doors opened at the same time, except for the bigger ones then several people with different builds and conditions were pushed into the arena, before the doors closed.
Jayden was wondering if he would have to fight against these humans, though he doubted it, after all the audience would not be so excited if that had been the case.
‘ Anna, where am I? What is this place? Just exactly what happened after I drank that wine? ‘ Jayden asked in his mind, he could feel the presence of several strong beings around who were definitely much stronger than him.
” It’s not the time to talk about all that, you need to survive this while hiding your real strength, I’m not sure which one but there are definitely some of the Greek gods present in this Collisium right now, after all, you have travelled quite far from your home in space and time. ” /She answered while releasing a tired sigh.
Jayden head was still buzzing and all the noise was just making it even worse, but he was shocked to find that he was in the presence of Greek gods, most of whom were famous for being the worst jerks.
He tried to teleport or use some of his other skills but just as he had expected these shackles were preventing him from doing anything, though they weren’t restricting his physical abilities and Jayden felt that he could even use the Demonic Devouring Arts, but he decided not to test it yet.
*ROOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR*
Just then a loud roar rang out, and the people present in the arena seemed to cower in fear, as they all moved towards the centre there were around thirty men including Jayden, they were all holding onto weapons which were all in bad shape and could not be used to even hunt a rabbit.
Some of the men kept praying to God asking for mercy from them while some had already given up and just kept crying, and some of them were holding onto their weapons tightly trying to stay sane.
” I am Nikos Thalasson, now we shall start today’s battle in the presence of our Gods and hope they enjoy this spectacle. ” Nikos shouted, he was standing on a high platform and after speaking he waved his hand.
Instantly one of the two large gates began to open and then the roars got much louder and the sound of heavy footsteps came from inside, along with an intimidating presence.
Soon everyone standing in the arena except for Jayden fell onto their knees when they saw what type of creature they would have to fight against, all of them had lost the will to live almost immediately.
” This is the Nemean Lion, let’s see if any of you can survive against this creature, the battle will last for one hour of daylight. ” Nikos shouted, as the Nemean Lion came into the light.
Its body was gigantic and its golden fur looked as if no weapons would be effective against it, it seemed to possess immense strength and just its presence brought blood lust into the arena, this creature was incredibly strong.
” Be careful, the speciality of this beast is its strength and defence, you shouldn’t try to fight and just survive somehow until the battle ends.
Also, I’m sure that if you transform into your dragon form you will be able to break these shackles but the powerful beings present here are too much for the current you to handle, so you need to wait a little. ” Anna spoke.
Jayden nodded he looked at the men who were all kneeling on the ground, They were all going to die without an exception at least they would die instantly if they got hit by that giant lion, though it was still a pitiful death.
‘ The Greek gods are just as shitty as I had heard, but how did I even end up here haa whoever are the gods involved in this, I’m going to turn their life into hell even if I end up disrupting the space time completely. ‘
Jayden thought and after Nikos shouted, they freed the Nemean Lion who roared wildly while looking at the people in the arena.
The bodies of all of them had already frozen by fear so they were all just waiting to get killed by the lion while crying in the centre, they were all just mortals there was no way they could last for even a few seconds in front of such a creature.
While Nikos had a worried expression on his face, he stared at the depressed people and thought:
‘ We have arranged this battle to please the god, we believed that when these mortals are placed in front of such a danger they would desperately try to stay alive, and seeing their struggle would definitely be of great fun for everyone.
But in my excitement, I had forgotten one important thing, they might have struggled a little if it was some other weaker creature but in front of something like that where their death is guaranteed, of course, they would be frozen by fear.
Sigh, if it is not as interesting then it would be me who would have to fight that beast. ‘
The beast could sense fear in all the people and it knew that they had nowhere to escape so it walked closer to them slowly, its golden fur shining in the bright light.
‘ This lion is definitely even stronger than Bardot Remington whom I had fought, most of the attacks would be ineffective against this creature, but I’m sure I can kill it if I do try.
But I’ll have to listen to Anna this time, I don’t want to pull too much attention from those bastards towards me. ‘ he thought as the giant lion was slowly approaching, and soon it arrived in front of them.
It looked so majestic when it stood tall in front of them seeing its body size it looked like that even after eating all of them this beast would still be left hungry, but it appeared that the Nemean Lion was definitely going to grow in the future a lot bigger and stronger.
