Systemless in a Parallel World

Zayn expected it to be noisy in the arena of the Colosseum, but it was even louder than he had expected. His ears ached as he heard the crowd\'s cheers and applause. The crowd was made up of more than ten thousand spectators, which Zayn quickly estimated as he made his way to the center of the arena.

The Colosseum\'s arena was made out of sand and there were no obstacles to hide behind. This turned attacks with a large area of effect extremely dangerous.

While the crowd was cheering, hoping to be entertained and to earn a small fortune from his demise, Zayn\'s focus was split up between the sandy ground and the large gate that slowly opened. An iron cage was slowly moved into the arena, which was when the crowd\'s excitement reached its climax.

The iron cage\'s lock was not yet opened and the battle had not yet started but the crowd was in a fervor, screaming hysterically and jumping on their seats.

According to the regulation of the Colosseum, the battle would start the moment the beast\'s entire body would emerge from the iron cage. That was important to know for the bets.

Zayn was supposed to remain standing in the center of the arena until the battle started but he circled around while slowly unsheathing the Dragontale Twin Sabers.

Exclamations rang through the Colosseum when the beautiful azure-blue blades were unsheathed. It was obvious that Zayn\'s weapons were far from ordianry. No ordinary Normie would be able to get their hands on weapons such as the pair Zayn wielded, not if they didn\'t hail from a wealthy family, or earned a small fortune from adventuring.

Zayn was recorded as G-rank Adventurer but that seemed to be only a formality. The cheers of the crowd died down and they swallowed their saliva, tensed up as they began to worry about their bets. The professionals expected a similar outcome but the ordinary Gamblers who didn\'t think much when betting their entire savings noticed that they might have done a mistake.

Zayn took a deep breath as he finished observing at the ground. The arena\'s sand was not slippery and it looked like they cleaned the arena after every battle.

That was enough to understand that he could keep his entire attention on the fight ahead of him. The surrounding area was void of additional dangers that would have required his attention.

All of a sudden, the crowd turned quiet as the lock of the iron cage opened. The gate was pushed open and a large paw covered in red fur stepped out of the cage.

A cat-like monster close to 1.5 meters in height stepped out of the iron cage with slow and steady strides. The Blazing Sabertooth Tiger was different from ordinary feline beasts. It had proportionally longer front legs and a much more muscular build. Its upper canine teeth were long, flat, and dagger-like. The moment they dug into their prey, they would reap its life.

That was what it felt like when looking at the scarlet-red, bronze-furred Blazing Sabertooth Tiger. The monster\'s eyes gleamed with fierce intelligence and it bared its fang toward Zayn whom the monster identified as its opponent in an instant.

As the Blazing Sabertooth tiger moved, its muscles rippled beneath its skin. It charged forward with a growl that echoed through the entire arena of the Colosseum.

Under normal circumstances, the majestic and terrific sight of the predator that was at the top of the food chain was enough to intimidate its prey. However, Zayn did not let this affect him.

Instead, he observed the movements of the monster with cold eyes and circulated a tremendous amount of soul particles through his body to enhance it to the limits before he adjusted his stance according to the actions of his opponent.

The Blazing Sabertooth Tiger had earned the respect and fear of everyone around it.

It was prideful, yet too hungry to bother about anything else but killing its opponent as quickly as possible.

It would only be given a share of food after doing its job. That was something the Blazing Sabertooth Tiger had realized over the course of years.

Thus, the Blazing Sabertooth Tiger spit out a large flame from its mouth the moment it was close enough to burn Zayn into a cinder.

Zayn\'s large ocean-blue eyes stared straight at the searing hot flames without moving an inch. In a short instance, his eyes flicked to look at the Blazing Sabertooth Tiger. What Zayn saw in the eyes was boredom, the desire for freedom, and much more.

At least, that was what Zayn imagined seeing in the monster\'s eyes. He closed his own eyes for a moment before he made a decision.

\'If I want to be put up against the Chimera as soon as possible, I have to give them a glance at my true power.\'

With that in mind, Zayn began to move. However, the flames had already reached the center of the Colosseum\'s arena. The searing hot flames completely enveloped the center of the arena.

Cheers filled with excitement and joy rang out from all over Colosseum as thousands of spectators bet on Zayn\'s death in the first three seconds.

However, many Spectators were also eerily quiet. They stared intently at the arena, trying to see what was actually happening.

"Soulblade!" Several men and women blurted out in surprise and the arena turned silent once again.

​ Only the crackling of the flames and the sound of something cutting through the air rang through the Colosseum as Zayn cut through the flames with his right Dragontale Twin Saber before he rushed out of the center of the arena.

His speed was extremely high, his acceleration allowing him to reach the Blazing Sabertooth Tiger with two large strides.

The monster that had been imprisoned for a decade didn\'t think of Normies as opponents anymore. They were prey that could be obliterated easily.

The Blazing Sabertooth Tiger had certainly lost its touch and ferociousness, just like Zayn had expected, and he made use of it very well.

He used the moment where everyone believed that the battle was over, including the Blazing Sabertooth Tiger before he began to act.

Coated in a golden mantle of manifested soul particles, his Dragontale Twin Saber cut through the flames and he emerged in front of the beast in the blink of an eye, piercing the left Dragontale Twin Saber through the underside of the Blazing Sabertooth Tiger\'s head. Zayn exerted all his energy and drove the saber deeper inside, piercing its skull from below.

As if that was not enough, Zayn flicked his right hand around, twisting the Dragontale Twin Saber in his right to slice off the monster\'s head.

Zayn\'s actions were so simple and nonchalant that the battle looked like a joke to him. However, in reality, Zayn had just used more than half of his soul particles to enhance his physical strength as much as possible and to cut through the flames at the perfect moment with the Soulblade materialized and his weapons reinforced.

That was extremely strenuous and a single mistake would have cost his life.

However, Zayn didn\'t make a mistake. He ended the Blazing Sabertooth Tiger\'s life and raised the monster\'s head high in the air to show everyone that he had beheaded a ferocious beast!

He just wanted to show that he was not desperately challenging the Colosseum but that he was powerful as well.

Not all Normies were weak.

Your bets were all for naught, your money is now mine!

Zayn would take it all!
