Chapter 57 (2/2)

The was nothing to be upset about, except for the occasional nagging from our overseers which reminded us of our position as slaves Still, us Elves knew that ould be able to enjoy a calm and peaceful life in Necropolis

However we are a prideful race and there is a saying, give an inch, and they’ll take a mile

Although our overseer insects didn’t intervene often, ere still required to do hard labor and follow instructions To us evolved and noble Elves, the occasional nagging fro to frustrate many of us and ould mock them in secret

It all began with such a simple action

“You can’t leave your workplace”

It was not easy for a single insect to supervise dozens of elves, but they had no choice but to do so because of the difference in numbers It wasn’t possible to always catch the Elves ould wander from their posts, but when the overseers did call theo back to work

That was until the one day where one of the Elves felt that he didn’t want to work anyh and noble Elf like himself obey the commands of a lowly insect

“I’m an Elf, I don’t need to follow the words of a mere insect!”

“You Elves are slaves and I’m your overseer, know your place!”

If that Elf had simply heeded his command and returned to work, our peaceful days would have continued, but he did not

“What, I was being kind and now you’re overbearing? Do you want me to show you the power of a slave then?”

It was an Elf that had originally been talented inof the World’s Root, he had becoance he had believed himself to be much more powerful than a simple insect

“You’d best stop right there Elf, your ic is weak…”

“Fireball!”

The largest fireball I had ever seen was fired out from the Elf’s hand In truthas he had been treating us quite well

‘Please don’t die!’

Against all expectations the fireball didn’t harhtest

“You’re a slave and I your overseer, you will have to pay for your crime”

Shaak

The overseer si

Gaaaah!

The rebellious Elf had just lost an ar out on the earth

“You there, help treat his injury”

The overseer pointed at one of us who knew healingaround in shock, as the Elf ran forward to heal him

Pirin and I had witnessed it first hand, standing less than 10 round Later rumours of the incident spread and the truth isted as they claimed that the Elf died of his injuries, or that the overseer cut off his head in one merciless strike

“I think thisdeal”

“I thinks so too”

Pirin and I orried about the current situation We had been living very coe Thethe idea of rebellion

“Pirin if our people rebel wouldn’t we be ostracized once again?”

“Maybe the insects will sion will come and burn us alive”

“What should we do?”

“I have no idea!”

“Pirin do you think there is any way to put a stop to all this?”

She thought carefully for soestion

“What do you think about becoladiator?”

“A gladiator, why?”

I couldn’t help but ask for a confir she had misspoken

“If you win the gladiator rant you one wish!+”

“Truly?”

“Yes! If you win then you can ask him to peacefully resolve the current situation!”

“But would it even be possible…?”

Trust h priestess and I know that you’re decent with a sword

Pirin and I agreed and began for a plan

Although it wouldn’t be easy to succeed as a gladiator, it was the only way forward By now the rebellious factions a us had been stirred up, and the consequences could be terrible
