"This is not my first rodeo" - Erron said to himself when Heisneberg announced the start of the game.

Erron was not a Shaoilin monk, a Ninja or an OutWorld or Earthrealm warrior with great talent for hand-to-hand combat, however, it was not the first time that someone had challenged him even combat without firearms. From OutWorlders to Tarkatans through Edenians and Konstructos, all of them had challenged him even a duel with traditional weapons, since they considered firearms as "barbaric and for weak beings" Maybe they were for the weak, but they had nothing barbaric in their design . Anyway, he accepted the duels and always won, sometimes it ended with the death of the loser. The only times that he rejected a duel was against the Shokan and the Centaurs because you were larger beings and a great experience in hand-to-hand combat was required and he certainly did not have it, and that despite having lived more than 150 years, he lacked that "spark".

The room was well lit, the corpses in different places with varying degrees of decomposition. Among them were 3 corpses of soldiers with their green uniforms who died carrying automatic rifles, those weapons were broken and without the possibility of using them.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, after 3 months of the last game of" Mortal Showtime ", a new challenger enters the arena- Heisenberg exclaimed with great emotion to his audience-" Give Erron Black a round of applause ! "

The Lycans only growled when they saw the human in that room. The other Lords instead were divided in their opinion, Angie applauded happily and Moreu looked at the challenger with emotion. While the Dimtrescu women talked to each other ...

"He is called like the man on the train mama." - Cassandra said excitedly to her mother.

"Yes, I already noticed my dear, maybe he is a fan of the legend." - Lady Dimitrescu said now looking at the man with more interest in the back of the room.

"Who knows? Maybe he is that same prince charming. "-Daniela said with emotion to her mother.

"Ahh, my dear daughter, that 'prince charming' was an outlaw who ended up hanging long ago." Lady Dimitrescu said to her other daughter. - "Let's see if he shares the same luck as the original."

"From the cold mountains of the Valley, here come the Lycans !" - Heisenberg exclaimed, causing, somehow, 3 lycan to come down from the roof to confront Erron.

The 3 beasts surrounded Erron, growling at him and showing their teeth, these beasts were unarmed, they only had spoils of clothes.

The first beast pounced on Erron with the intention of attacking his jugular. However, Erron dodged it by throwing himself to the ground, grabbing a broken chair leg, and using it as a weapon against one of the Lycan.

[X-RAY, A sharp piece of wood enters through the Lycan's left eye, the piece of wood destroys the front of the brain in the Frontal Lobe.]

He got up and stuck the wooden leg in one of the beast's eyes, there were 2 left.

Angie was the only one to applaud from the crowd at the top.

The other 2 beasts attacked Erron, the first attempt to hit him on his shoulder, however, Erron's arm blocked the blow, Erron hit him on the belly of the beast, this beast reacted to the blow conveniently for Erron, He kicked him hard on the ankle causing the beast to fall.

[X-Ray, The Lycan's head falls hard to the ground, fracturing its nose. A boot hits the back of the Lycan's skull causing small cracks in the skull, a second hit of the boot creates more cracks and expands the existing ones, the third hit ends up destroying the skull causing significant injuries to the brain, and finally the fourth and final blow shatters the Lycan's brain.]

The second beast had fallen, only one remained which rushed towards Erron only for Erron to dodge it again, Erron approached to pick up another piece of wood, he had taken a stake. As he grabbed the stake, the Lycan pounced on him. The Lycan fell on Erron as he held the stake tight.

[X-Ray, A piece of pointed wood pierces the flesh or muscle of the chest, as well as destroying several ribs on its way to the deformed heart, destroying it.]

The beast had died on top of Erron, Erron moved the already dead beast aside and stood up only to be greeted with a Heisenberg smile.

"Not bad Black, I'm impressed." - Heisenberg said. - "So you can see it, I sponsor you, take it!"

Heisnberg drew Erron's saber, the Tarkatan saber, from his raincoat. Heisenberg threw it at one of Lycan's corpses to cushion the fall. Erron took the sword and tucked it into the sheath on his back.

"Next round, courtesy of Dimitrescu's castle, the Moroaicăs!" - Heisenberg told the audience.

From an iron gate, a group of humanoids appeared, approximately 9 exactly, who had different and varied weapons such as swords and sickles. They advanced erratically, identical to the undead of the NetherRealm.

The monsters proceeded to attack with their rusty weapons, Erron could clash weapons, it was clear that these beasts did not have enough strength to break his saber. He struck down the first beast by driving his saber into the head, destroying his brain.

[X ray. The bone Tarakatan saber with a tungsten coating pierces the weakened skull of the Moraica, the brain destroyed in a single blow.]

He repeated the same thing for 8 more times, attacking and recoiling, attacking and recoiling over and over again with ease and efficiency.

"Wow, that was fast." - Heisenberg said with disappointment in his sentences. - "Normally those who fought with those creatures received one more cuts. Anyway, take your last reward! "

Heisenberg threw one of the pistols at Erron. Again, he threw the weapon at one of the corpses, cushioning his fall. Erron picked up the gun, checked if it was loaded and saw that it was not, however, he had spare ammunition in his holsters, he reloaded the 6 rounds in the pistol and kept it in his thigh holster.

"Are you finished?" - Heisenberg asked just to raise a hand to remove all the bullets from the cartridges, the bullets flew gracefully towards Heisenberg and he sent them towards the table. - "You know, I don't want the fun to end so soon."

Eron just watched in anger and annoyance as his bullets flew out of his hulls, however, his "special bullets" were not affected.

"And speaking of fun, flying from Dimitrescu castle…! The Samcas !" - exclaimed Hesienberg for 3 flying creatures to make their appearance.

The creatures flew over Erron like vultures to a corpse. Erron had no place to take refuge from the creatures' aerial view. All he did was take steps dodging the nasty creatures. However, when one of these got too close Erron took his pistol and shot it through its throat.

[X-Ray. A bullet goes through the throat cutting the already useless blood veins without functionality. The bullet manages to hit the brain, destroying it.]

The other 2 creatures wanted to attack him at the same time, with their nasty claws and long tongues, Erron dodged the attacks, took his sword and managed to decapitate one of the distracted beasts.

[X-Ray. The Tarkatan saber cuts the meat and bone from the Samca's neck, the cut is clean and easy because the meat was very weak.]

The last Moraica rushes with great speed from above towards Erron, but the gunman was faster because with a single direct shot to the head of him causing the winged beast to fall.

"Fantastic, the third round was better than the previous one." - Heisenberg said as he watched the disaster in the combat room. - "But I think that from here on, things become difficult, Black."

Heisneberg took the gun away from Erron with the wave of one of his hands. Erron was furious, his weapon had been removed for the second time.

"Do not worry, you give it back after the fourth round, do not be angry." - hesinberg said as he placed the gun on a banister.

"! THERE WILL BE NO MORE ROUNDS, THIS SCUM WILL DIE !" - A creature similar to the Lycan shouted with a beastly voice.

This creature jumped from the ceiling and landed on the ground, thanks to the fire of torches and the light of the moon, its characteristics could be better seen, among them was that it had a long machete that shone in the moonlight, some pieces of modern armor, they were a riot vest, he had a gray military-type helmet and clothes not as damaged as those that the Lycan had. This was a Neo-Lycan, similar to Ivan.

"One of the reborn of the Stan family, more precisely Ivan's older brother, Nikolas !." - Heisenberg said. - "Do you remember, Erron?"

Erron looked at the beast as he looked at him as he held his shiny machete, his gaze, despite lacking recognizable human facial expressions, was more than clear that what he felt was anger, an intense rage for the mercenary.

"YOU KILLED MY YOUNGER BROTHER, OUTSIDER." - Shouted Nikolas with her look of fury.

"I have murdered brothers, parents and sons, be more specific, partner" -Erron said with a mockery at the end, in his strategy was to make the beast lose control, it was clear that the beast acted passionately rather than logically.

"I WILL AVENGE HIS DEATH !" - The beast shouted angrily as he pounced with a face of anger.

When he got close enough to the mercenary, Nikolai attacked with the machete only for Erron to clash weapons with the beast. The Tarkatan saber collided with the machete, the two glances colliding, Erron's blue eyes with the lifeless black eyes of the beast.

"TODAY YOU WILL DIE, MY BROTHERS AND I WILL GIVE US A FEAST WITH YOUR FLESH." - The beast screamed in its attempt to demoralize Erron. Those threats fell on deaf ears.

"Curious, your brother said the same before my boot crushed his skull." - Erron said as his saber collided with him.

"DON'T FUCK WITH ME !" - Said the beast as he moved away to attack again with the machete.

Erron dodged him and was able to score a puncture in one of his legs, knocking Nikolai down, only for Erron to kick him in the face, disfiguring his face. The beast screamed in pain.

"Wow, you really are his brother, so that ugly son of a bitch screams in pain, like a bitch." - Erron said with a laugh when he saw the beast kneeling.

"FUCK OFF !" - Said the beast, screaming in pain. Those were his last words.

Erron only leaned in for the last blow.

[X RAY. The Tarkatan saber pierces the lower part of the throat, passing through the body from top to bottom, reaching a malformed heart.]

Erron pulled the saber from the beast's dead body, took the saber, and cleaned it with a piece of cloth from the fallen beast.

"Well, well, Erron Black, who would say that behind the mask and the hat there was a bastard murderer?" - Heisenberg said as he looked at Erron cleaning his weapon. Heisenberg had seen several players in this game, all the players were outsiders, soldiers most of the time, as they were the ones who were closest to the type of player in their game. However, all those past players showed fear and incompetence, most did not reach beyond the second round. The players who went the furthest died in the fifth round, at the end of the room were the half-eaten corpses of those who made it to the fifth round.

The audience looked with emotion at the outsider, Angie applauded for each death that the outsider committed as well as supporting him by shouting her name to motivate him. Moreu looked excitedly at the stranger using his pistol with great precision and grace, like the gunman in the movie he saw.

The Dimitrescus sisters watched very well as the stranger fought, Cassandra was delighted to see how Erron used his saber and killed Nikolai, but not before making fun of the unfortunate beast's family. Daniela, on the other hand, watched in amazement as Erron moved so finely when making any movement, if Daniela had a flower she would have thrown it at the man-thing.

Lady Dimitrescu saw how Erron had eliminated all of his enemies without having lost a single drop of blood or received any damage, she wondered how she would taste his blood right now, due to so much physical movement,

His blood should be moving through his veins with such energy, she wanted to taste his blood, just out of curiosity. Mother Miranda watched the show, no one could see her directly, as everyone was focused on the show, however, she showed a smile under her golden mask.

"Maybe this Outsider can be useful." - She told herself, her advances with the Cadou had improved more in 10 years than 50 years of stagnant research, the Neo-Lycan were an example of this.

"Very good Erron, you are already in the final part, are you ready?" - Heisenberg said, maliciously thinking that the fifth round would be the round that would end Erron. - "Here, you will need it."

As if there were a ghost in the room, Erron's pistol floated through the air, opening the chamber to remove the used casings, new bullets were inserted, and the pistol floated towards Erron. Erron took it and put it in his sleeve.

"Very good, Erron, so far you have given us the best show in months." - Heisenberg said congratulating Erron.

"But I'm afraid this maybe your last round, do you see those 3 corpses at the other end of the room? They were soldiers of the BSAA, I don't know if you know that company but I assure you that they only hire the best wardogs, Do you think you can overcome them? "- Karl asked pointing towards the corpses.

"You can bet your hammer that it does." - Erron said very confident in Heisenberg's words, this "Mortal Showtime" was nothing compared to the Mortal Kombat of OutWorld, where the most lethal champions of the kingdoms with superhuman abilities face each other, this seemed more like training fights or something like that. - "Let's finish this circus, then."

"You're the most confident bastard I've ever met !" - Heisenberg said with genuine emotion.

"ENOUGH TALKS, FIFTH AND LAST ROUND." - Heisenberg said excitedly, pulling a lever opened a large metal door.

Beastly growls were heard from the room where the last opponent was contained, from the dark room another Lycan appeared on all fours, but this one was more than special, the beast was as ugly as his other brothers,

but what distinguished him was that he was quadruped, with very large and very open jaws. That beast looked better under the moonlight.

The audience cheered with excitement as they watched the last round.

"YOU CAN ERRON, I BELIEVE IN YOU !." - The doll said with emotion.

"Me too, man-thing, I believe in you, although it wouldn't hurt if you bleed a little for us." -Cassandra said looking at Erron. - "Especially for me." - She said seductively to Erron.

"Another blood-sucking woman? It must be my lucky day." - Erron said in an annoyed way when he saw the young woman. But he saw that the woman was not alone, he saw another woman with red hair who when she saw that the man was looking at her, she smiled at him, greeting hers with her hand.

But among them was the big woman from a few minutes ago, their eyes colliding, Black's blues against the woman's golds. She was looking at him with a smile drawn on her face, with those blood-red lips and pale skin like the other 2 women. - "Hell no, there are 3 bloodsuckers."

Erron returned his gaze to the beast on all fours, the beast was waiting for Heisnberg to give the signal.

"Finally, the Vârcolac !" - Heinsenberg exclaimed. "Give us one last show Black !"

The beast advanced on all fours towards Erron, its mouth expanded and revealed to Erron its large teeth as sharp as knives, Erron managed to dodge the beast. The behavior of the beast reminded him of bullfighting bulls, it charged in only one direction but to perform zigzag movements it staggered.

The beast failed to catch Erron, once again the beast repeated the move and charged against Erron. As if he were a bullfighter, Erron not only dodged the beast, when the beast passed him, he thrust the Tarkatan saber directly onto his right shoulder.

[X RAY. The Tarkatan saber pierced the Vârcolac's hard skin, slicing through flesh and striking the bone in his arm.]

However, the saber got stuck in the beast, the beast roared in pain, but it did not stop, it continued to attack, but with a new tactic: it began to jump like a hare. Erron managed to dodge the beast's jumps. He took his revolver and began to fire, even though the beast was in motion, Erron could hit every one of his shots. The first two shots were aimed at the legs of the beast, but did not have the expected effect.

The beast jumped on Erron again, Erron managed to step aside, but the beast managed to land next to him. The Vârcolac hit Erron's right arm with its claws, the arm that had pieces of armor managed to protect part of the arm from the Vârcolac's claw, however, the claw did find a weak point causing a cut in the Erron's arm.

The Dimitrescu sisters looked excited as the man-thing had been wounded, his blood covering his right arm. The wound did not seem serious, but it was clear that it bothered him. If only they allowed them to participate in the show.

Unlike her daughters, who had a less developed sense of smell, Lady Dimitrescu had captured an unusual scent. The place where they were was full of nauseating smells like the rotten blood of corpses, Heisenberg's blood, Moreu's stagnant water scent, rotten wood and dust, all those scents passed through their nostrils, However, when Erron received the first wound on his arm releasing his blood, Lady Dimitrescu detected a new scent, it was fresh man's blood.

Unlike the blood of virgin women that is sweet, ideal for your wine, the blood of men is more bitter, although the level of bitterness varies between ages, the blood of a middle-aged man was palatable while that of an old man was very seldom good-tasting, because the blood is well preserved, although most of the time it is stale. However, the aroma of Erron's blood was different, if he smelled very good, the blood was seen with that bright red color.

Erron felt the pain in his arm, he could still move it, but it hurt.

"You fucking son of a bitch!" He proceeded to fire several more shots at the beast that hit the body to no effect, except the last one that hit him in the chest, had created a hole in the beast's flesh. Erron only had one normal magnum bullet left in his revolver, but he still had several "specialty bullets" in his back pocket.

The Vârcolac grunted in pain at the last shot to the chest, but it wasn't enough to defeat him, the beast proceeded to attack him head-on like a bull. In a moment of swiftness, Erron pulled a bullet out of his back pocket, though such action caused other bullets to fall off.

Erron took the bullet and saw what type he was. He had a green tip. Courtesy of Reptile's friends.

As the beast turned to strike again, Erron reloaded the weapon, removing the casings and placing the bullet in the chamber. Unlike conventional bullets, these "special bullets" were designed to be fired directly into the body at the shortest possible range: point-blank.

The beast took its last leap on Erron's body, it did not dodge the attack this time, it only fell back a few steps back, then the beast stood on two legs to take a claw against its head, however, Erron approached the beast so close that, looking from another visiting point, it seemed that the beast was embracing him. Erron put his pistol into the hole in the Vârcolac's chest, and then…. He pulled the trigger.

[X ray. A projectile in the shape of a small green vial is fired, it explodes when it collides with the heart, the green viscous content of the bullet vial begins to melt the malformed heart of the Vârcolac.]

The acid bullet was a success, the beast began to scream in agonizing pain, lying on the ground he began to have spasms, through his hole in his chest began to drain several pieces of meat and organs melted by the acid, his dark blood intermingled with the green acid giving a little more than unpleasant combination, the beast gave one last cry before finally falling at Erron's feet.

The reactions of the public changed, the fighter was supposed to have died, even Angie, who was showing her "support", stopped doing it. However, Heisenberg's opinion was immediate.

As all the Lords looked on in amazement, Mother Miranda approached the woman with the black veil, whispering something in her ear, imperceptible and ignored by those present, including Erron.

"AMAZING!" Heisenberg exclaimed. - "Erron black, you are the first challenger to win the 5 rounds, what do you think?"

"I think you will keep your word and set me free." - Erron said as he looked directly into Heisenberg's eyes.

"Of course." - Heisneberg said and then turned to the other Lords. - "I, Lord Karl Heinberg, have forgiven Erron Black for the crime of cutting off my hand."

"Now you're happy." - Heisenberg said.

"Very good, now with nothing more to say, give me back my things and leave me have peace." - Erron said to Heisenberg

Heisenberg just laughed.

"We agreed that I would forgive the crime, however, you are now my property, cowboy." - Heisenberg said. - "You will play more rounds until the end of your days for our entertainment." -Heisnberg said with double intention, because he had other plans with the outsider, that he could not say because behind him was the "bitch Miranda."

But before Erron could answer, he felt a prick in his left arm, checked and saw that it was some kind of miniature red dart, looked towards the railing where the Lords were and saw a small canon protrude from the doll's mouth. .

"GOOD NIGHT COWBOY, DREAM WITH ME !" -Said the doll as the canon returned to enter his mouth.

Erron's eyes began to feel heavy, and his muscles failed him, then he felt a great drowsiness and for the third time that day, he fell unconscious to the ground, watching as the Lords began to argue before losing consciousness.
