As experienced as Lusius was, he instantly retracted his head backwards, but in doing so, he felt the edge of Daniel's wooden sword grind against his carotid This brought hi conclusion that, had the sword Daniel was holding been a real one, he would have already been laying over a pool of his own blood

Around them, the few dozens of slaves looked on in shock They had spent the past feeeks training with this endary to them, but to anyone who had heard of his naladiators, who had won close to a hundred fights, and had refused freedom many times before?

His swordsladiators either tremble in fear, or in respect Even in his retire too old to compete, he had decided to employ his talents in the field he had beenslaves into warriors that would entertain the very core of the empire

Daniel, as athletic and valiant as he looked, was just athe streets of Roerly protect, nor a rising star whonize

Lusius' pride and honor did not allow him to believe Daniel had bested him in one swift move Instead, under the conviction that he hadn't been careful, the forround and cleared his ed, siroup of robbers

The observing slaves felt a shi+ver run down their spines Only once had they witnessed this level of seriousness from one of their trainers, and that hen two or more would spar with one another On those occasions, while the weapons would still beback, as their purpose was to teach the slaves the true path of the gladiator
