Chapter 114 Maximus Decimus Meridius

After a short break, the commentator of the coliseum began, "Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round and witness the most intense and ferocious battle of the century! This is not for the faint of heart, this is for the true warriors who dare to enter the Coliseum! The combatants are ready, the crowd is hungry for blood, and the tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife!"

The commentator inhaled deeply and continued shouting, "In this corner, we have the mighty adventurer, known for his unmatched strength and cunning tactics, the one and only...Maximus Decimus Meridius!" He paused for a second for his words to sink in then continued, "And in the opposite corner, we have the equally fearsome challenger, a fighter who has conquered every opponent that dared to stand in his way... Octavius the Destroyer! Who will emerge victorious? Who will be left standing in the end? Only time will tell as these two titans clash in a battle of epic proportions!"

After the bell rang, Maximus charged forward with a fierce battle cry, his sword raised high, ready to strike with all his might! Octavius, however, is not intimidated and responds with a thunderous roar of his own, his eyes ablaze with fury!

The sound of clashing steel echoes throughout the arena as the two combatants engage in a deadly dance of death! The crowd is on the edge of their seats, cheering and shouting with every strike and parry!

Maximus delivers a powerful blow, but Octavius is quick to counter with a swift kick to the stomach! Maximus stumbles back, but recovers just in time to deflect Octavius's next attack with his shield!

The commentator bursts with emotion, "This is a fight for the ages, a true battle of wills and skill! The fighters are giving it their all, leaving nothing to chance as they battle for supremacy! But wait...what's this? Octavius seems to be losing his footing...he's stumbled! And Maximus takes advantage of the moment, delivering a crushing blow that sends Octavius to the ground! What a fight! What a battle! And just like that Maximus is the winner!"

The crowd erupts in cheers and applause as Maximus stands victorious over his fallen foe as the commentator continues to talk, "What a fight, what a spectacle, what a display of raw, unbridled power! This is what the Coliseum was made for, this is why we come to witness the greatest fights in history!"

The atmosphere was electric as the crowd cheered and shouted, eagerly awaiting the start of the final match. It will be a few hours before the fight between Suzuka and Maximus.

Suzuka knew that she had to maintain her focus and not let her guard down. Her eyes fixed on the prize - the chance to face the legendary Grand Minotaur in the final battle of the tournament and get his prize.

Suzuka was sitting calmly in the waiting room when the same man approached her. "Well? Did you consider my offer? It still stands."

Suzuka had an intimidating aura around her when she said, "As I said before, I don't throw my fights! I came here to win, to fight the minotaur and get his treasure. So you better go before I used you as a warmup before my fight!" 

The man wasn't happy to hear that and walked away while cursing, "Phe! Stupid bitch. No matter, even if you win against Maximus, you will lose to Grand. And I will be the one that laughs the last! Hahaha!" 

The long wait came to an end and the commentator's blasting voice announced the fight. 

Suzuka stepped onto the arena, despite her small stature, she had the body of a monster, her muscles bulging and rippling as she increased her muscle mass, becoming physically stronger with every passing moment, ready to face her opponent. She felt the adrenaline pumping through her veins, her heart racing with excitement at the prospect of facing Maximus.

As the two fighters entered the arena, the air was thick with tension. Suzuka, a muscular woman with a fierce look in her eye, strode confidently towards her opponent. Maximus, on the other hand, was a battle-hardened warrior, his body well-toned and muscular, his eyes cold and calculating as he studied his opponent. 

He had been trained in sword and fist fights for years and had fought many battles, each one leaving him with scars that served as a testament to his skill and experience, stood waiting for her in the center of the ring. The crowd was on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the start of the fight.

Suzuka began to stretch her limbs, her muscles bulging as she prepared herself for the battle ahead. Maximus, meanwhile, tightened the straps on his armor and readied his shield and sword. The two combatants circled each other, their eyes locked in a fierce stare-down as they prepared to engage in battle. Maximus drew his sword, the metal gleaming in the sunlight, as he prepared to strike.

With a glance at her opponent, Suzuka knew she couldn't afford to hold back. She decided to use half her strength right from the start, not wanting to attract attention to her body's rapidly changing mid-fight. She took a deep breath, focusing all her energy on the task at hand.

The moment the referee signaled the start of the match, Suzuka charged forward, her muscles rippling with each movement. She moved with incredible speed and agility, dodging and weaving around her opponent's attacks with ease. The crowd roared with excitement as Suzuka delivered a powerful punch, Maximus raised his shield to block the attack but the force send him tumbling to the ground.

As Maximus hit the ground, he sprang back to his feet with a snarl, his eyes blazing with fury. He charged at Suzuka, his sword raised high. Suzuka deftly sidestepped his first attack and landed a swift kick to his stomach, knocking him back several paces.

Maximus recovered quickly and lunged forward with another series of fierce sword strikes. Suzuka parried each one with ease, her eyes fixed on her opponent's every move. She waited for the right moment to strike, watching as Maximus overcommitted to an attack.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Suzuka darted forward and landed a powerful punch, striking Maximus squarely in the chest. Maximus staggered back, his sword slipping from his grip as he fell to the ground.

The crowd erupted into cheers as Suzuka stood over her fallen opponent, she raised her fists in triumph, basking in the adulation of the crowd.

But Maximus wasn't done yet. With a last bit of his strength, he sprang to his feet and charged at Suzuka, his eyes wild with rage. Suzuka braced herself for the attack, her muscles tense and ready.

The two fighters collided with a thunderous impact, their bodies locked in a fierce struggle. Suzuka's muscles bulged with effort as she pushed back against Maximus but he was no match for her enhanced strength.

For several long moments, they battled fiercely, neither one gaining the upper hand. But then, with a sudden burst of strength, Suzuka overpowered Maximus, with a precise hit to the lower mid-section she send him tumbling to the ground once again.

The commentator's voice boomed through the arena, electrifying the crowd with his enthusiastic announcement of Suzuka's victory. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! Helen defeated Maximus with a spectacular display of strength and agility!" The crowd goes wild as she stands tall, muscles glistening with sweat and victory.

Maximus lies on the ground, defeated, but the crowd doesn't care, all eyes are on Suzuka. The commentator continues, "What a performance! Helen has truly shown us what it means to be a fighter.

The commentator's voice filled the arena as the crowd settled down for the brief intermission. Excitement and tension filled the air, as everyone waited with bated breath for the upcoming showdown between Suzuka and the Grand Minotaur.

As the doors opened, a cold wind swept through the arena, causing the torches to flicker. A hush fell over the crowd as they waited for the combatants to emerge. Suddenly, the doors on opposite sides of the arena burst open with a deafening crash, and Suzuka and the Grand Minotaur stepped out. 

 The Minotaur was a monstrous figure, towering over Suzuka with his massive frame and a snarl that made her blood run cold. His razor-sharp horns glistened in the sunlight, and his black eyes seemed to glow with malevolent energy.
