Austin's eyes were brightly burning with his fighting spirit as he shouted, "I'll fight on!"Barette helplessly let out a sigh, while Nashville and the other inmates stared at Austin in awe.Everyone had to fight to survive in The Grave Prison, where the weak were the prey of the strong.The inmates were all in awe of Austin's attitude toward his deathmatches after living a prolonged period of just surviving day by day.From their perspective, Austin seemed as if he was gleaming with hope.…The passage from day to night was unobservable from within The Grave Prison.With the prison surrounded by towering walls, the concept of time gradually became something the inmates had forgotten about.However, Austin counted every single second he was staying in the prison ever since he asked Brian for the time.He had no extra time to waste rotting inside the prison.To finish ten matches within ten days was the optimal rhythm that he had planned.Any longer, and his entire existence
Austin looked up at Brian with astonishment.He wondered why Brian would help him make it out of The Grave Prison.Brian smiled as he could tell what Austin was thinking about. "Don't be surprised. I just owe Aldus one, now we're even."Austin pursed his lips, still confused about the sudden interaction. He had always been curious about the relationship between Aldus and Brian.He could only wonder why Brian had complete knowledge about how Aldus fought, as well as why Brian had decided to help him cheat in the deathmatch."Thank you," Austin decided to think about such questions another day as he headed toward the 7th district.He took a look at the gift from Brian as he walked.He immediately frowned when he realized that Brian had given him a mirror.Austin was utterly confused as he stared at the mirror in his hand.It was something that was not allowed within the prison because it could easily be used as a lethal weapon."Is Brian telling me to kill Anaconda with this?"
As Austin snapped back to his senses, he realized that Anaconda was already rushing toward him as fast as lightning.He also noticed that Anaconda was sticking out his tongue as he made the hissing sounds.For an instant, Austin had the illusion that he was being targeted by a python.The next moment, Anaconda had already made his way toward Austin. He raised his right arm and aimed to stab Austin in the throat.The strike was visibly intended to kill its target in one move.Austin's eyes widened as he immediately raised his right hand to block the fatal blow from Anaconda.Anaconda's eyes were brimming with light. Both of his arms seemed to have taken the form of vipers as they launched attacks repeatedly at their target.Austin's expression sank as he tried his best to block all of his opponent's attacks.The fight had just begun, and he was already at a disadvantage.All of the inmates were reveling in the excitement of the fierce fighting happening in the ring.They were
Anaconda laughed at Austin. "Are you implying that I'm stupid enough to look up at the lights to blind myself?"Austin smiled as he realized why Brian had given him a small mirror.He took a few deep breaths as he slowly took on a fighting stance while enduring the severe pain from his broken ribs.Anaconda seemed to be already bored of the fight as he let out a sigh before sticking out his tongue once more. "How pointless. I thought you would have been a challenge when I heard that you defeated Barette. I guess I overestimated both of you."At the same time, Austin used up all of his strength to rush toward Anaconda.Anaconda was taken by surprise as he never expected Austin to make such a proactive move."Now die!" He raised his arms as he rushed toward Austin to launch another barrage of attacks.Even though Austin was already guarding himself, two powerful strikes from Anaconda had still managed to make him stagger.The slight pause in his movements had caused him to lose a
The randomized attacks were much easier to avoid.Austin stepped up and started to punch and kick at Anaconda while dodging his flailing arms.Anaconda started to cough out blood after being pummeled by Austin for a few seconds.Austin ended his attacks with a solid kick that sent his blinded opponent out of the ring and onto the floor.He then shouted, "Surrender now… Or I'll kill you myself!"Anaconda gritted his teeth with anger. He knew that he would surely be killed if he did not surrender while he was still blinded.He had no choice but to beg for mercy even though he was furious after being tricked. "I… I surrender!"Austin smiled as he shattered the mirror in his hand before shoving all of the pieces back into his pocket without leaving any traces on the floor.He then turned around and left the ring.The entire prison fell dead silent as the inmates were still shocked by Austin's comeback against Anaconda.The instant comeback had completely exceeded all of the spect
Austin's original plan was to have his deathmatch with Fallen Angel be the sixth fight.He wanted to have an extra day of rest after finishing two deathmatches to recover his strength.But things didn't go as planned.Moreover, he was not an indecisive man by any means.Given Austin's current state, going ahead with another deathmatch tomorrow as scheduled would prove fatal.The wisest choice now would be to 'fight' Fallen Angel tomorrow and utilize the extra day to rest up."I'm on it," replied Barette as he left in a hurry.Nashville and the other inmates helped bring Austin to his bed.Austin's face was horrifyingly pale after he had cleaned up the blood on the corner of his mouth.His chest heaved up and down heavily, and with every breath, he felt as if countless needles were pricking his chest.It was extremely difficult for him to just breathe.Austin took off his shirt so that he would be more comfortable.Nashville's voice started to tremble. "Austin, your chest…"
On the ring, Fallen Angel donned a black leather skin-tight suit that emphasized her figure.All of the inmates spectating the match were easily seduced by her looks, but Austin felt nothing but admiration for her.He was in awe of the fact that a woman had managed to become the alpha wolf of her own district within The Grave Prison.He could only wonder just how powerful she could be.Soon it would become obvious to Austin just how much of an influence Fallen Angel had for the fifth district.With just the raise of her hand, the fully bustling prison fell silent in the blink of an eye.Austin was left speechless.He had never seen such a scene in any of the other districts, but he also reckoned that the first district would have something similar.Fallen Angel's red lips eventually moved as she stared at Austin with intrigue. "Austin… I heard from Barette that you're desperate to get out of the Grave Prison because of your woman. Is she waiting for you back home for your weddi
Austin's cell was completely silent.Nashville and the other inmates sat quietly at the side. They only whispered to one another if they wanted to say something.They were all afraid of disturbing Austin's rest.After just ten days, Nashville and the other inmates held nothing but respect and fear for Austin.It was only natural that the strong would be respected in the prison.Moreover, the fact that Austin was not afraid to risk his life in order to protect everything he cherished in life was impressive.Plenty of people had changed after they entered The Grave Prison.Like stray animals, they had gotten used to life within the prison after enough time had passed. They had abandoned all hope of going back to their normal life, and would only live the rest of their days struggling to stay alive. But Austin was completely different.And it was precisely why Nashville and the other inmates were so impressed by his resolve.In a place like the Grave Prison, giving up was the e
