Gladiator Commander (Third Update)

Naheh's lowered eyes instantly sharpened. "How did you know I would come back here?"

"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure either, even though your information says this is your hometown,"

Bai Xiaowen shrugged and said, "Based on the testimonies of others, I can roughly pinpoint three locations... your hometown Im Village; the Avaris Arena you trained to become a gladiator; and your master Sammet's mansion in Thebes. My intuition tells me this is the most likely location, so I came here in person."

"Of course, there are also people waiting for you at the other two suspicious locations," Bai Xiaowen concluded.

Naheh sighed and said softly, "I didn't want to cause trouble; I just wanted to live a quiet life in my hometown. But you've chosen your own path, so I'll send you on your way."

As he finished speaking, Naheh bent over, pushed off with his toes, and with a powerful burst of energy, stomped two deep footprints in the mud as he charged toward Bai Xiaowen!

At the same time, he drew two short weapons from his waist, combined them with a snap to form a long spear, and thrust it toward Bai Xiaowen's chest.

This attack was swift, efficient, and decisive, demonstrating Naheh's formidable personal strength. This man, born a slave, was absolutely no less capable than Hittites general!

Clang!

Pure Note metallic clang rang out as Li Shuyi swiftly caught up, striking the spear tip with both swords, forcefully deflecting it.

Bai Xiaowen gently pressed his left eye. His brief conversation with Naheh had not been in vain; he had obtained Naheh's intelligence information through his Insight.

[Naheh (Boss Tier Level 7)]

[Race: Human Species / Human Race]

[Class: Ascetic Gladiator Leader]

[Attributes: Strength 39, Agility 65, Constitution 32, Spirit 21]

[Skill 1: Gale Combo: Passive, Naheh's melee physical attacks grant him the Gale effect, increasing his attack speed by 10%. The Gale effect can stack up to 4 times.]

[Skill 2: Dazzling Assault: Naheh unleashes a dazzling offensive, increasing attack speed by 100% for the next three attacks. Enemies facing Naheh will be Blind for 3 seconds.]

[Skill 3: Weapon Mastery: Passive. Naheh possesses extensive gladiatorial experience and is proficient in using various weapons. Different bonuses are granted depending on the type of weapon used.]

[Skill 4: Potential Release: Naheh unleashes powerful potential, increasing strength and agility by 20% and movement speed by 50% for a short period of 30 seconds. After the effect ends, Naheh will be in a prolonged state of weakness.]

[Skill 5: Gladiator's Toughness LV2: Increases Life Value by 400 and grants 40% tenacity.]

Bai Xiaowen had always thought that Naheh was no ordinary person, but after obtaining detailed information about him, he realized that he had underestimated him. He never expected that a slave could reach the level of Advanced Boss, and a highly agile Boss Tier, with formidable combat skills.

Gale Combo and Dazzling Assault, two agility-based attack speed skills, can maximize Naheh's inherent agility advantage. Potential Release, equivalent to an ultimate move, provides a trump card for a desperate last stand.

It's worth mentioning the [Weapon Mastery] skill. Currently, Bai Xiaowen can only see the bonus effect of "Polearm Mastery," which increases attack power by 10%.

Li Shuyi and Naheh had already begun their battle, their weapons clashing.

Both were agile experts, but Li Shuyi was slightly weaker. However, Bai Xiaowen summoned his Rageclaw and attacked Naheh from behind, managing to prevent the disadvantage from widening.

Naheh fought faster and faster, but Li Shuyi's two passive abilities were no joke either, growing stronger as well. Towards the end, both of their weapons left Afterimage, dazzling the eye. With a 40% attack speed bonus, Naheh, fighting two opponents, surprisingly managed to attack more than defend.

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes, and Vengeful Spirit appeared, raising its hand to unleash its Venomous Resentment.

The Venomous Resentment skill can not only bully strength-type Boss Tier, but also agility-type bosses, as long as the opponent's Divine Might is a weakness.

A faint blue line connected them, Naheh shuddered. He roared, and the spear in his hand suddenly accelerated, emitting a dazzling light.

"Open the Void Ring, turn around!"

Bai Xiaowen gave an early warning, and Li Shuyi had already reacted. She simultaneously activated the Void Ring, entered a state of Intangibility, and turned her back to Naheh.

Naheh wielded the spear with both hands, moving with lightning speed, almost exceeding the limits, and with a swift thrust, the spear pierced Li Shuyi's back!

However, the spear only pierced the air.

"Witchcraft?"

Naheh took a deep breath. He reacted extremely quickly, abandoning Li Shuyi and rushing towards Bai Xiaowen, unleashing his second strike in the blink of an eye!

Swish swish swish swish!

Four Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier appeared almost simultaneously, blocking Bai Xiaowen's path!

The second spear Piercing a Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier, blasting him into countless Bone Shatter. Then came the third spear, which miraculously bypassed the gaps in the Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier's defenses, striking Bai Xiaowen in the shoulder.

Bai Xiaowen staggered back, clutching his bleeding shoulder. He was once again amazed by Naheh's strength; even with the cover of three Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier, Nahe had managed to hit him. Without the Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier's cover, Naheh could probably have easily hit a vital spot.

However, Naheh's brief burst of power was thus neutralized without any major incident.

Bai Xiaowen waved his hand, summoning Elite Tier such as Skeleton Champion, Bone Warlock, and Kitz, who were Targeted Airdrop in front of and to the flanks of Naheh. Li Shuyi and Rageclaw followed from behind, surrounding Naheh in the center.

In the distance, the Vengeful Spirit continued its relentless drain of mana...

Naheh let out a beast-like roar, his body suddenly swelling to a size larger, muscles bulging, veins popping. This was his last trump card, his ultimate move, "Potential Release"!

Then, Naheh was knocked unconscious.

He originally had 20 points of Divine Might, but after continuously casting skills, his remaining Divine Might was insufficient to support the Vengeful Spirit Venomous Resentment's mana drain. After his Divine Might dropped below 2 points, he fell into a dazed state.

Bai Xiaowen unleashed Rapid Fire, and the summoned creatures, along with Li Shuyi, ganged up on him.

Naheh had just awakened when he was hit by a combined Shield Bash from the Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier and the Suppression ultimate move from the support Rageclaw... A series of control chains crashed down on him, and even with the Advanced Boss skill's 40% resilience and 400 extra health, Naheh was severely injured and covered in Bloodbath.

With a loud pop, a shockwave struck, and the Rageclaw were knocked over. Naheh leaped up from the ground, roaring as he launched his final counterattack.

It must be said that Naheh, an agile warrior who mainly relies on basic attacks for damage, is not too afraid of mana drain. Relying on the attack speed bonus of Gale Combo, as well as the strength and agility bonuses from Potential Release, he managed to trade three of Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures before he died!

But that was all he could do. With a thud, Naheh's body fell to the ground.
