After I won the match, I was once again brought back to my cell and was given some food to eat. Of course, given all my injuries, I happily consumed the food that was given to me in order to quickly recover for the next match. Though because of a certain skill that I acquired during the match, recovering from my injuries had become a lot easier compared from before. And as you may have already known, the skill in question was the one called Recuperate.

[Recuperate (Rank D)]

[Rare]

[Passive]

[Allow a slight healing of health and injuries at all times.]

Based on the description alone, it was easy to tell that the skill was somewhat similar to my other skill Recovery. Though in this skill's case, it was completely focused on the health and injury department which was probably why it had the effect of constant healing. To make it better, the skill's description seemed to indicate that the skill had the same effect on fatal and heavy injuries.

Honestly, even if the description said that the skill has only a slight healing effect, being able to heal any injuries at all times was still a very powerful effect. And if you include the fact that I had Devour and Recovery which both had a similar effect on top of that, of course I would be able to heal my injuries faster. Though, I had a feeling that I was only able to acquire this skill because of how I used Devour on the match. Which by all means made the acquisition of this skill a dangerous task.

Well, it's no surprise that the skill is rare. I concluded.

Anyway, because of the combination of my three skills, I had almost completely recovered by the time I woke up. Of course, I said almost because there were still some lingering effects from the injuries that I had sustained. But even then, if I didn't have the skill Recuperate, then I wouldn't be able to recover this much with just a single night of rest. And given the fact that I would be fighting once again the next day, being heavily burdened by the effects of my injuries would surely put me at a disadvantage.

Man, I am so thankful that I acquired this skill. I thought while sighing in relief.

For now, though, I was currently waiting for the Banobos to come and fetch me for the next match. But for some reason, the Banobos had still not come. In fact, I wasn't even hearing the usual hustle bustle noise from outside. It was really confusing, and for some reason, I couldn't help but feel that there was something different this time.

Because of the ominous aura surrounding the entire area, I couldn't help but wish for the better. Please don't tell me that another dangerous event is about to unfold.

Because of all the fighting that we, the captured monsters had done, the entire prison-like area was now covered in silence. Well, maybe it would be more accurate to say that a lot of captured monsters had already passed. As a result, there were now only three bound and imprisoned monsters residing in this place. The first one was, of course, me, and then there was the Savaga and the Hackclaw respectively. Though knowing the fact that there were only three of us left, I couldn't help but wonder...

Who's gonna fight who? Or maybe we will be having a three-way battle? Was what I had been wondering about.

It was then the Banobos finally arrived. But for some reason, there was something different about the aura they were excluding. To be more specific, the festive aura that they always excluded whenever they came to fetch us was gone. In its place, a seemingly tensed aura was hanging in the air. Though for me, I knew all too well what this tensed aura meant. Actually, I had experienced it myself in the past when I was still a human. And what I was talking about was the aura of someone that was about to head out into battle. In short, it was the mixture of uncertainty, fear, and resolve to die.
