00:05Hold the line!
00:07Charge!
00:24Charge!
00:26For you!
00:30Charge!
00:39Charge!
00:44Charge!
00:46Charge!
00:49Charge!
00:52Charge!
00:55My Lady Cassandra, there's a body.
01:13Octavia, the news from the Senate. The Consul has gone missing.
01:20Many believe he is already died.
01:23Impossible! He is the greatest general of Rome.
01:27I can't believe it!
01:31Gods of Olympias, we offer all for you to watch over the Consular. Please bring him safely to Rome.
01:39Warriors of Rome, follow me!
01:45Long live the Rome!
01:49Marcus, what happens on you? Were you actually a soldier of in that Roman Legion?
01:53My Lady Octavia, I don't know. My head is throbbing. I lose some memory.
01:58Octavia, when we found Marcus, his memory was gone. He hasn't fully healed.
02:03Whether he was a soldier or a common man, don't bother him.
02:14Marcus, you haven't fully recovered. Just do some simple work today.
02:19Yes, my Lady Cassandra.
02:28How dare you, a despicable creature.
02:34Set your eyes on the two young ladies.
02:36You better stay where you are. Know your place, fool.
02:39Watch yourself. Eyes down.
02:50Hey, punk. What's that look? Come on.
02:54Give him a weapon.
03:00Pick it up. Fight me.
03:04Galen once fought a black bear. Marcus is doomed.
03:19I promise Lady Cassandra, I won't fight.
03:23Can't even lift an axe. What a good-for-nothing.
03:27Why does Lady Cassandra even care about trash like him?
03:30Marcus, if you can't even lift an axe, drop your foolish dreams.
03:37Or else...
03:42This will be your fate!
03:47Galen, why aren't you off to train?
03:52Important guests arrive tomorrow, and you may be called to fight a match.
03:57As you command.
04:02Cassandra and I are staying here tonight.
04:05Please prepare hot water, and bring it to the resting room.
04:10Yes, Lady Octavia.
04:14Boy, you better behave yourselves. Let's go!
04:20Marcus!
04:21Marcus! Hurry up with the hot water!
04:24All right.
04:37You better have to take the push.
04:38I'm not going to die.
04:40I'm not going to die.
04:41I'm going to die.
04:44I'm not going to die.
04:54You better have to take this.
04:55I need to take this part in half a day.
05:06I'm not fully recovered yet.
05:08I need to take this guy down quickly.
05:55I need to take this guy down quickly.
06:13I need to take this guy down quickly.
06:25Who am I exactly?
06:27Why do I have so many strange memories?
06:32What's going on, Marcus?
06:34Why was it so noisy here just now?
06:36The bear escaped from its cage just now.
06:38I taught it a lesson.
06:40Hear that?
06:41He said he taught the bear a lesson?
06:42This bear is even bigger than the one Lord Galen fought.
06:44There's no way Marcus could beat it.
06:46Marcus, is your way of Vec being Iphter insulted to destroy the arena's things?
06:50If so, I'll report this to Lady Octavia and have you thrown out.
06:54What?
06:55You actually want to fight me?
06:56Then come on!
06:58He actually lifted!
07:00What's happening here?
07:01Why is it so messy?
07:03Galen, are you bullying Marcus?
07:04No, Octavia.
07:05Marcus is just venting because he thinks he's useless.
07:08That's not it.
07:09I just...
07:09Galen, you are not allowed to bully Marcus.
07:11He's still injured.
07:12Marcus, hurry up and get the hot water.
07:13Stop fooling around.
07:14Yes, my lady.
07:48Octavia, where have you been again?
07:57You, Marcus!
07:58Why didn't you knock?
08:01Huh?
08:02Lady Octavia never told me I had to knock before entering.
08:05How dare you keep staring?
08:07I'm sorry, my lady.
08:08I didn't mean to.
08:09You rogue.
08:10Go stand guard outside.
08:12Don't let anyone come near tonight.
08:13Yes, my lady.
08:23Cassandra, what's wrong with your face?
08:25Nothing.
08:26Just...
08:27The water is too hot.
08:30Fine.
08:31Have you seen Marcus?
08:32He's so strong.
08:59Dimitri, the Gladiator Arena is magnificent.
09:02I like it very much.
09:03As for the Cassandra sisters, I wish to get to know them better.
09:07Young Master Corvus.
09:09After tonight, this arena will be yours, and those two as well.
09:13Good.
09:14Go now, and make it happen.
09:31Barker.
09:32Barker, take your men to the animal cages on the east side.
09:35Break the cage doors while the beasts are asleep.
09:37I'll lead my people to Seet Fara to the main building.
09:41Understood.
09:43It's just a fallen family, held up by only a few women.
09:47Young Master Corvy is far too cautious.
09:50A couple of guys could easily handle this.
09:52They've given me a sign.
09:53I will not die today.
09:55What business is that?
09:56Care to tell me?
09:57Who are you?
09:58Where are the others?
10:00Show yourselves.
10:05Prisoners have no right to ask questions.
10:08Just you alone?
10:09How dare you be so arrogant?
10:11Damn it!
10:12Kill him!
10:25Keep it down.
10:26Don't let him make a sound.
10:28We've got bigger fish to fry.
10:29Don't worry, boss.
10:30We're pros at this.
10:34Why just stand there?
10:36Too scared to run?
10:43Looking for me?
11:19Who the hell are you?
11:22Whoever you are, move together and take him down.
11:39This man must die.
11:50Did it hit him?
11:54This...
11:54This is impossible.
11:56This person's skills seem to be those of the missing.
11:59The Consul.
12:04Now,
12:05care to tell me what you're really planning?
12:08Stay back.
12:11Take one more step forward.
12:15And I'll set everything ablaze.
12:18The entire arena will burn to the ground.
12:23Oil jars.
12:25You dare set fire to this place.
12:28This goes against Roman's law.
12:32Law.
12:33Roman's law won't mean much soon.
12:36The Julius family is just another pawn to be sacrificed.
12:41Hold him off.
12:42I'll go get back up.
12:44Boss?
12:45What am I supposed to do alone?
12:47This guy is absolutely terrifying.
12:49Our plan is doomed to fail.
12:51Now we have to rely on Bacchus' side to destroy the Julius arena.
12:57Stay back!
12:58Don't take another step!
13:05Well...
13:34Open the gate!
13:35Let me in!
13:41What happened?
13:42Where are your men?
13:44I ran into one of the Julius gladiators.
13:46He's absolutely terrifying.
13:48Just one man?
13:50Are you a fool?
13:51Don't ruin young Master Corvei's plan.
13:54His moves are far from ordinary.
13:56He's just like one of the former Consuls.
13:58That's impossible.
14:06Oh.
14:08What plan are you all hatching?
14:10I'd love to hear it.
14:15Dammit!
14:15You dare block the gate all alone?
14:17Who do you think you are?
14:19You can try.
14:20All of you, charge!
14:22Kill this arrogant fool!
14:42Damn it, Dimitri.
14:43What kind of monster have we provoked?
14:46Now there's only one way left.
15:06These beasts are Lady Cassandra's prized property.
15:10I can't use a blade.
15:13Ew!
15:32I can't use a blade.
15:39attitudes
15:39and
15:39dealing withched
15:46What? I can't believe it.
15:53Hurry. While he's busy with the beasts, we got this at once.
16:09Young Master Chorus, we failed.
16:14Failed? What happened to the rest of you?
16:19All of our men were taken down by a single gladiator.
16:25Just set fire and break the beast cages.
16:28How do you fail such a simple task? What good are you?
16:33That gladiator is too strong. We have no chance. His fighting style is just like...
16:40Just like what?
16:41It's just like the consul. I served in the army before and saw the consul fight.
16:47They're identical.
16:52What? That's impossible.
16:54The consul died on the battlefield long ago.
16:56He can't be alive!
16:58My lord, rumors say he didn't die. He went missing.
17:02It's possible. He's right here in the Julius Arena.
17:06What? What do we do now?
17:09If it's really him, we're doomed.
17:12Young Master Coralus, I've seen the consul before.
17:17I can confirm if it's truly him.
17:20Fine. We'll go there tomorrow.
17:23We'll find out if that man is the Roman consular.
17:37Lady Cassandra ordered me to guard her chamber door.
17:40The noise must have already woken her up.
17:44She's probably looking for me right now.
18:01Who exactly am I?
18:06Marcus, did you take all of them down alone?
18:09Marcus!
18:11Who exactly are you?
18:14I really can't remember who I am.
18:28My lord, I am Galen, a senior gladiator.
18:32Welcome to the Julius Arena.
18:43Lord Consul.
18:49What?
18:51The consul?
18:53Could it be?
18:56The consul.
18:58Is it possible?
19:00Is it possible?
19:06Could I be the Roman consul?
19:12Could I be the Roman consular?
19:31Galen!
19:32Why would you hurt him?
19:35Galen has never offended you in any way!
19:41Young Master Coralus, he's not the consul.
19:45It seems I misjudged yesterday.
19:48But this Galen must have been the one blocking our plan.
19:51So I took it upon myself to cripple him.
19:53What do you think?
19:57Well done, Goliath.
19:58Lowly commoner!
20:00How dare you come so close and spook my horse!
20:04As the heir of the Claudius family, I'm merely punishing a nobody who dared to disrespect me.
20:18What?
20:19Do you dare raise a hand against me?
20:21Everyone stay calm.
20:23He's a noble.
20:23Someone we can't afford to cross.
20:29Lowly commoner, you're in my way.
20:32Move aside.
20:33A land built on freedom and equality.
20:36Not even nobles have the right to abuse or punish commoners at will.
20:44Who are you?
20:56I didn't hear you.
20:58Speak again.
21:01Are you deaf?
21:03Very well.
21:05You insolent commoner.
21:07Rome stands for freedom and equality.
21:09No noble has the right to abuse or harm its people without cause.
21:14If you think you're above the Senate's law, I will press charges.
21:19Go on, I dare you.
21:21Are you threatening me?
21:29Marcus, you fool!
21:31Get on your knees and beg Lord Korus for forgiveness!
21:34Right now!
21:35Lord Korus is the firstborn of House Claudius, you backwater fool!
21:39If you want to live, get on your knees and beg his forgiveness!
21:41Idiot!
21:42Do you want to end up like Galem?
21:45My lord!
21:46Let me tear this stretch apart!
21:50Not yet.
21:52My lord?
21:53Damn it!
21:54Who is this peasant?
21:55How does he know the Elder Council punishes nobles who wantly abuse citizens?
21:59Good.
22:00I see you.
22:02Let's see if you're still this bold when you're standing in the arena.
22:12Were they here to issue a challenge?
22:14Damn them all!
22:15Galen is the strongest senior gladiator in this arena.
22:18That bastard crippled him on purpose.
22:20Now they think they can walk all over us.
22:22No!
22:23The young ladies are in danger!
22:25We have to check on them now!
22:27Someone help me up!
22:33A hollow fool like that only picks on common citizens.
22:36The Julius family stands on equal fording of the Claudius family, both old Roman bloodlines.
22:40What danger could Lady Cassandra and Lady Octavia possibly be in?
22:49Hurry up!
22:50I heard that the playboy from the Claudius family came with people today to challenge us!
22:54A thrilling spectacle awaits!
22:55The Julius family is in for serious trouble this time!
23:02Sister, that playboy from the Claudius family.
23:05He's been making such a big show of it.
23:07Announcing he's coming to challenge our arena.
23:09What do you think he's up to?
23:10Rome's great houses have never stopped fighting each other.
23:12It's only been the consul's authority to maintain the peace.
23:15Now that the consul is in God knows where, Corus couldn't wait to jump at the opening.
23:19There's something behind this.
23:22My, my, ladies.
23:24It's been a while.
23:25And you're both even more beautiful than I remember.
23:28Where exactly are you looking for?
23:30You're disgusting!
23:31Corus!
23:32The Julius family's arena's open to all, but if you continue to conduct yourself this way,
23:36you are not welcome here.
23:37Just leave.
23:39Word is, the Julius family has been having some financial difficulties lately.
23:44Consider this my gift.
23:46Bring it forward.
23:47Yes, my lord.
23:55That much gold?
23:57What in Rome is he planning?
23:59No, he wants a wage about.
24:01The stakes are too high.
24:02We refuse.
24:03Corus, take your money and find another arena to play in.
24:05Rome's laws have no provision limiting the size of a wager.
24:09Everything I'm doing is entirely legal.
24:11Unless, of course, you'd like to shut the arena down right now.
24:15Cassandra, if we close the arena, our finances will completely collapse, and the Julius reputation
24:22will never recover.
24:24Then what do we do?
24:26We have to accept.
24:28Send Galen into the ring.
24:31Corvus, the Julius family accepts your challenge.
24:34Give us a moment to make the arrangements.
24:38No need to go to the trouble.
24:40They'll be here shortly.
24:42Galen, can you hold on?
24:43Don't worry about me!
24:44Just get to Lady Cassandra!
24:46Go!
24:49What?
24:52Galen, you're...
24:55A challenge?
24:57Three chests of gold and jewels?
24:59This Claudian playboy came all this way,
25:02just to hand over his money?
25:14You fool!
25:15You really think the young master of House Claudus is afraid of you?
25:19Watch your charge!
25:20Stop making trouble!
25:21And go!
25:22Now!
25:24Marcus, get back!
25:26This is no place for you to trouble with!
25:29Marcus.
25:30That's a familiar name.
25:32Where have I heard it before?
25:34Lady Octavia, I...
25:35There's no time to explain!
25:37Get to the back!
25:38Are you ignoring me now?
25:42Corvus!
25:43You despicable snake!
25:45You deliberately ambushed my finest gladiator
25:48and then placed a fortune on the challenge?
25:50If the consul ever hears of this treachery,
25:52he will strip you of your title
25:54and cast you into slavery!
25:56The consul?
25:58He's dead!
25:59Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
26:00Let me share a little secret with you, Lady Cassandra.
26:03The Senate is already preparing the next election,
26:06and the next consul will be Lord Lucius of House Cato.
26:09Impossible!
26:10The consul is Rome's greatest commander!
26:12The undefeated warrior, how could he possibly be dead?
26:16You vile, scheming rats!
26:18When the consul returns, every last one of you is finished!
26:21By all means, let him come.
26:23I'm right here.
26:24Go ahead.
26:24Send him to punish me now.
26:28Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
26:30Scars! Scars! Scars!
26:33Hear that crowd out there?
26:35They're crazy for blood.
26:36So tell me, Lady Cassandra, shall we begin?
26:45If they win the challenge, there's no way we can cover that sum.
26:48Under Roman arena betting rules,
26:50we'd have no choice but to forfeit this arena to him.
26:54Cassandra, absolutely not!
26:55This arena is the treasure of generations of the Julius family.
26:58We cannot just hand it over.
27:00But if we refuse the challenge,
27:01the Julius family's reputation will be shattered.
27:05We are Romans.
27:07We can die brave and free.
27:09But we will never live as cowards.
27:12How admirable, Miss Cassandra.
27:14How about this?
27:19As long as both young ladies agree to marry me,
27:22I'll withdraw the challenge.
27:23You keep your family's honor.
27:25You keep this arena.
27:26What do you say?
27:27Don't even dream of it!
27:29People like you are not worthy of marrying our sisters at all.
27:32Miss Cassandra, let me fight.
27:34I will defend the Julius family's honor with my life.
27:37My lady!
27:39Send me into the arena!
27:44They did this to me on purpose.
27:46How about I give it a try?
27:48I can hold my own in a fight.
27:51Big guy, stay put.
27:53We don't have time to deal with you right now.
27:57Marcus, I know what you mean.
27:59But you've never had proper gladiator training.
28:02And you're still carrying an injury.
28:05The thought is enough.
28:08Chorus, I, Cassandra Julius,
28:11formally accept your challenge on behalf of the Julius family.
28:15Both sides may now send their champions into the arena.
28:18Maiden, go.
28:22Goliath, go.
28:24Yes, young Master Corvus.
28:32It's him?
28:35The legendary gold-class gladiator,
28:38Goliath the Raging Wolf.
28:54So it was him.
28:56Goliath the Raging Wolf.
28:58Of course, only a gold-ranked gladiator like him
29:01could drop me in a single ambush strike.
29:03Isn't he with the Cato family?
29:05What is he doing at Corvus' side?
29:07Dudes, don't worry.
29:09Before I die, I'll drain every ounce of strength out of him.
29:13Finishing the job,
29:15I'm leaving that to you.
29:17Is he really that dangerous?
29:19Looks pretty ordinary to me.
29:20Do you have any idea of what you're saying?
29:22Did you see the tattoo on his back?
29:23He once killed a giant wolf in the arena with his bare hand!
29:26Maiden is putting his life on the line to buy us a chance.
29:28to bleed Goliath the Raging Wolf dry
29:30and you dare look down on him?
29:31Think you're better?
29:33Then you go fight him!
29:34Fine.
29:35Let me go.
29:48You're not taking a weapon?
29:51I don't need one to kill you.
29:53You're underestimating me!
29:55I don't need one to kill you.
30:22Is this all the Julia family has?
30:24The rest of you, come down here.
30:26Stop wasting my time.
30:29Make your move, or I finish him right now.
30:39Madden, he was defeated that easily?
30:42Could it be that a century of Julia's family legacy ends at my hands today?
30:48My dear ladies, surely you wouldn't want to lose your century-old family arena.
30:55Just say yes to marrying me, and all your problems are solved.
31:13My lady, allow me. I'll make them pay for this.
31:17You bastard! You want to die too?
31:24Is this guy out of his mind? I know, right?
31:27He just keeps provoking Lord Corus again. He must really want to die.
31:31Think Goliath's gonna twist his head clean off?
31:34Are you out of your mind, big guy?
31:37We found you half dead out in the wilderness.
31:39You couldn't even remember your own name.
31:42It's been a few days, and now you want to fight?
31:46No, Marcus, I will not allow it.
31:48You are not setting foot on that arena floor.
31:55You little punk.
31:56What, you think the rest of us are already dead?
31:58As long as we still breathe, no one gets to trample the honor of House Julius.
32:04That's right.
32:04We will protect Lady Cassandra and Lady Octavia with our lives.
32:07This is not your fight, Rufi.
32:09Know your place.
32:12Exactly.
32:13There are so many of us.
32:15Together we might just be able to take down that ugly monster.
32:20That was Goliath acting on his own impulse.
32:23As his master, I never gave my approval.
32:27Goliath, after you defeat the Julius Gladiator, taunt them.
32:31Bait them.
32:32Don't kill him right away.
32:34Gout every last one of them into coming at you together.
32:37Uh, why?
32:38Because then they'll fool themselves into thinking they still have a chance.
32:41And that gives me excuse to coax them for raising the stakes.
32:45Ha ha ha, Lord Corius, your scheme is absolutely brilliant.
32:49Even the goddess Athena herself would applaud for you.
32:52I could agree to let all of you fight at once, but that depends.
33:04If you lose again, I won't just take the Julius family's arena.
33:08I'll take you both as my brides.
33:15I've been generous enough to offer you a chance.
33:18Whether you seize it depends on whether you ladies possess the nerve.
33:23Corvus, you're the worst disgrace Roman nobility has ever seen!
33:28Don't. Not now.
33:31Very well.
33:33We accept your terms.
33:36Cassandra!
33:38Octavia, Octavia, we have no other choice.
33:41This is the only path left that gives us even a hope.
33:45To save what our family has built over a hundred years.
33:48We cannot give up.
33:51Oh, and one more condition.
33:53That big one back there, he fights too.
33:58What?
34:00No, absolutely not!
34:02Marcus won't change result!
34:03You're just sending him to death!
34:05I am part of this arena, am I?
34:08You saved my life.
34:10I will not run from this.
34:17All right.
34:18But you're badly injured, you can't slow the others down.
34:22You go last.
34:23If Cole and the others, a dozen fighters, still can't bring down the Raging Wolf,
34:28then the outcome is already sealed.
34:31When that moment comes, I'll have no choice but to concede.
34:34And Marcus will never need to set foot in that arena at all.
34:57Well, well.
34:59Didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to show up.
35:14So fast.
35:29Weak.
35:31You.
35:33Miserable curse.
35:35Just so pathetically weak.
35:37Raging Wolf.
35:39Raging Wolf.
35:40Raging Wolf.
35:42It's over.
35:44We've lost.
35:47Cassandra.
35:54Cassandra.
35:55Octavia, from this moment on, you both belong to me.
35:59Now let me...
36:05Lord Corvus, my lord, are you all right?
36:08You're dead.
36:09Even if this reaches the Elder Council, you are finished.
36:11A mere commoner dares to attack me?
36:14I'll tear you to pieces.
36:16I don't care who you are.
36:18Disrespect Lady Cassandra one more time.
36:22I'll make you regret having these hands.
36:29Cassandra?
36:30You think she could protect you?
36:31The match is over.
36:32I won.
36:33This arena now belongs to House Claudius.
36:36And those two sisters have bet themselves right into my hands.
36:39You lowly commoner.
36:40I have ten thousand ways to make you suffer.
36:46I haven't fought yet.
36:47What makes you think you've won?
36:51Good.
36:52You said it yourself.
36:54I was afraid you will be a coward and not to fight.
36:58Goliath!
36:59Kill this person!
37:00Make him dumb!
37:02This arrogant little wretch actually dares to challenge me?
37:05Yes, young Master Corius.
37:07I'll make sure he suffers the most brutal death this world has ever seen!
37:12Marcus, are your injuries healed?
37:15Just now, you sent Corvus flying with a single slap!
37:18Don't tell me.
37:19He actually moved that 2,000 pound weapon rack by himself?
37:22My injuries haven't fully healed, that's true.
37:24But dealing with trash like him, that's hardly a challenge.
37:27Then, what weapon are you most skilled with?
37:30If there's nothing in the ready room, I'll have one brought to you immediately.
37:32No need to take a detour for a weapon.
37:34I'll go down from right here.
37:36Directly from here?
38:02Marcus, he's actually that strong?
38:07Cassandra?
38:08Do you think he can win?
38:10Miss Cassandra, maybe...
38:12Maybe Marcus really can defeat the Raging Wolf.
38:15Goliath!
38:16Before any of this, Marcus moved the entire weapon rack on his own.
38:19The entire weapon rack?
38:20That olive wood frame you used during training?
38:22Including all the blades?
38:23That must weigh well over 2,000 pounds.
38:25What nonsense are you talking about?
38:27No one can lift something that heavy.
38:29Goliath is a golden-ranked gladiator, renowned across all of Rome.
38:33There aren't even 30 men at his rank in this entire city.
38:36What makes you think some nobody can defeat the Raging Wolf Goliath?
38:41Marcus, you cannot lose.
38:43You just can't.
38:44Marcus, come on!
38:45If you beat that ugly monster, I'll...
38:48I'll give you a special reward!
38:57Marcus.
38:59You have to be careful.
39:01That man's speed, his strength, it's just...
39:03It's absolutely terrifying.
39:04Got it.
39:16It's a long walk from the VIP stands to the arena floor.
39:20How did he get here so fast?
39:22Huh.
39:23Can't say I've ever seen a challenger in such eager to die.
39:27What a treat.
39:29Ignorance!
39:30Want to take a guess?
39:32How many punches do you think it'll take me to put you down?
39:35You sure like to talk.
39:40Now you've really done it!
39:49No!
39:55No!
40:03How could it be possible?
40:21Why?
40:22Why are you such strong?
40:30Just now you were stomping my friend's head.
40:33Looked like you enjoyed it.
40:36No!
40:37No, no!
40:38That's not...
40:38I was only following Lord Corius' orders!
40:41It's a misunderstanding!
40:43Please, forgive me!
40:44I'm begging you!
41:02That...
41:03That's...
41:04A war god!
41:05He must be blessed by Ares himself!
41:07No!
41:08It's Apollo!
41:09The god of the sun watches over him!
41:11Oh, gods of Olympus!
41:13Is this warrior the chosen champion you have gifted to Rome?
41:15He carries the blessing of every god!
41:17He must be a son of the gods!
41:19Son of the gods!
41:21Son of the gods!
41:23Ah, Cassandra!
41:25Marcus did it!
41:27He saved the Julius family!
41:29He's our savior!
41:30Yes, he truly did it.
41:33Marcus.
41:34He is our hero.
41:36Impossible!
41:37This is impossible!
41:39Goliath is a gold-ranked gladiator, renowned across all of Rome!
41:44How could he lose to a nobody?
41:47This gold was given by Lord Lucius.
41:50Not only have I failed to take the Julius family, I've lost every last coin.
41:55How in the gods' names do I face him now?
41:58No!
41:59You have not won!
42:01I demand another wager!
42:03Right now!
42:04Another wager?
42:05Corvus, let me make this clear.
42:07You have lost every single coin to your name.
42:09On what possible grounds do you think you can challenge us again?
42:12On the grounds of that man's insolence.
42:15A wretched commoner, who dared strike the heir of the noble Claudius family in public!
42:20Refuse my terms, and I will take this straight to the Senate.
42:24And when I do, that miserable peasant will be condemned to death.
42:30Lady Cassandra, do not trouble yourself.
42:35Accept his terms.
42:38Under Roman law, a commoner who strikes a nobleman cannot be forgiven.
42:42The punishment is absolute.
42:43But now, there is only one path left.
42:47Corvus, you threatened Marcus' life to coerce me, didn't you?
42:52So what?
42:52You want another challenge?
42:54You can have one.
42:55But you have nothing left to bargain with.
42:56If you insist on this, I will wager every coin I won from you.
43:00This arena that has been the Julius family's legacy for generations, and our marriage contracts, Octavia's and mine.
43:06I am betting all of it, against every asset the Claudius family holds on your name.
43:10A commoner striking a nobleman is a capital offense.
43:13So all I need to do is strip Corvus of his nobility and reduce him to a commoner himself.
43:18You already pulled your family back from the brink of ruin, and yet you would throw everything, your fortune, your
43:22arena, even yourself, onto the table for a worthless commoner.
43:25That's my last word.
43:26Do you have the nerve to bet?
43:27That's right.
43:28We're being gracious enough to give you this chance.
43:30If you can't even summon the courage to take it, then no one in all of Rome will ever respect
43:34you again.
43:34Damn you, these insufferable women, they've left me no choice at all.
43:37If I want to preserve the honor of the Claudius family, I have no option but to accept it.
43:42But if I lose, I lose everything.
43:44I will become a commoner.
43:46Fine! I accept!
43:49You commoner, you brought this on yourself.
43:52I'll watch you get torn to pieces.
43:55Don't waste my time.
43:56Show me what you've got.
44:00Besides, I've still got a win.
44:02A special reward from Lady Octavia.
44:09When Marcus entered the arena, you did promise him.
44:11If he won, he'd receive a special reward.
44:13Octavia, what have you prepared?
44:15If I tell you now, it won't be a surprise anymore.
44:17He saved us both.
44:18I intend to offer something of my own as well.
44:21I made a promise to myself.
44:22If Marcus could save my sister, our family, our fate,
44:25I would give myself to him.
44:27And he actually did it.
44:30Go.
44:31Push the cage into the arena.
44:33Yes, young master Corophus.
44:35How fortunate.
44:36Beyond Goliath, I had Lord Lucius procure something far more entertaining.
44:39A northern great bear.
44:40In all of Rome, there are no more than three warriors alive who could hope to face such a feast.
44:45Marcus, I want to see that pathetic, tear-streaked face of yours down on your knees begging.
44:54Marcus, I owe you an apology for how we treated you before.
44:58You are the greatest warrior I have ever seen.
45:00Please, keep winning.
45:02The fate of the Julius family and both of the young ladies rests entirely in your hands.
45:06Every one of you fought with an unbreakable spirit.
45:09You are worth to be called warriors of Rome.
45:11Go rest.
45:12I'll hold this ground.
45:14Yes, Lord, Marcus.
45:24Yes, Lord, Marcus.
45:35A roar like that, only one beast in this world makes such a sound.
45:42Gods above.
45:43Not only do we get to see the supreme warrior face a gold-tier gladiator, but there might actually be
45:47a death hunt today.
45:48The son of the gods is destined to claim gold-tier.
45:51No, he'll become a legend of Rome.
45:53But facing a beast alone.
45:54That's sheer madness, isn't it?
45:56A cart that museth.
45:58Whatever's in there is no ordinary wolf.
46:00Search every arena in Rome, and you'd barely find a single man who's ever taken down a great beast alone.
46:20Just as I suspected.
46:22A northern giant bear.
46:24To face a beast of this monster in a death hunt, you'd need at least ten elite gladiators working together.
46:29And even then, killing a bear that size would cost more than half their lives.
46:34This isn't fair.
46:35Cassandra, open the gate.
46:37Let Marcus out right now.
46:38There's no time left.
46:39Escape.
46:40I starved that beast for an entire month, just for today.
46:44Not only Marcus.
46:45If you put its own cubs before it right now, it would tear them apart without hesitation.
46:50Marcus.
46:51And let's not forget, this is a death hunt.
46:53Once it begins, only one side walks out alive.
46:56That is the rule of every last one of Rome's 300 arenas.
46:59I won't just take back everything I've lost.
47:01I'll claim the Julius family's grand arena, and both of you pretty little prizes along with it.
47:06Ha ha ha ha ha!
47:07Oh, and best of all, that worthless commoner Marcus.
47:10I get to watch that northern giant bear tear him apart and tear him apart.
47:15Right before my very eyes.
47:16What a glorious sight that will be.
47:28Did you see that?
47:30The man was so terrified his legs gave out, he couldn't even run.
47:33Just watch it.
47:34That miserable wretch will be torn to pieces by the northern bear soon.
47:38Both of you, burn this into your memory.
47:41This is what happens to those who dare cross Chorus Cloudus.
47:45You guys!
47:46If anything happens to Marcus, I'll throw you off this ledge with my own hands!
47:51Ah!
47:52Ah!
47:54Damn you, you, you violent...
48:00Enough.
48:15God's above!
48:16What in the name of Rome is he doing?
48:18Why would he turn his back on the northern bear?
48:20Move!
48:20Move already!
48:21I can't watch.
48:22Oh, gods of Olympus, please, watch over this great warrior of Rome.
48:27Look!
48:27The northern bear!
48:28It's charging straight at him!
48:36All that size?
48:37And you afraid?
48:38Or a waste of a body?
48:44Look!
48:45Marcus!
48:46He stood there scanning for so long.
48:48Was he choosing a weapon?
48:49Then why did he only pick such a short dagger?
48:52There were spears, great swords.
48:54Yet he only took a dagger.
48:55And what's more...
48:58So what if he's strong?
48:59A blade that short is like a mosquito bite to a great northern bear.
49:04This humble gladiator, utterly beyond redemption in his arrogance.
49:08Who does he think he is?
49:10Marcus's expression never changed.
49:12Not once.
49:12If anything, there was contempt in his eyes.
49:15Could he truly, truly be confident he can kill a fully grown great northern bear?
49:24No!
49:28No!
49:33No!
49:37No!
49:38No!
49:43this how is that even possible is he even human cassandra he did it marcus is literally a god
49:50even across all of rome there are barely a handful who could do what he just did
49:53yes he actually did it but marcus a warrior this powerful this unstoppable there is no
50:00way you were a nobody who are you really
50:22still want to fight back
50:38so
50:42so
51:01e
51:03Son of the god Marcus! Son of the god Marcus!
51:12My lord Marcus, you are a true god of war. From this day forward, I-Cold is at your service.
51:24We swear to follow lord Marcus. We are yours unto death.
51:35Stand up. Every one of you is a warrior of Rome.
51:43Impossible. This can't be happening. He's not human, he's a monster.
51:50I lost. I've been utterly defeated.
52:02Marcus, who are you really?
52:09Cassandra! Marcus is incredible! He actually did it! I knew he could, I just knew it!
52:17I did promise. A special reward if he won.
52:23Alright. Let's go down. It's time to properly thank our hero.
52:39Marcus, Cassandra. Just you wait. I will not let this go.
52:53Marcus, it must be hard for you. Have some water.
52:59Your wounds still haven't fully healed, and you just fought through two brutal matches. Do you need more time to
53:05rest?
53:08I'm fine, sir. Nothing. Thank you for your concern, Lady Cassandra.
53:13Marcus, here. Clean clothes for you. And... and the special reward I promised you.
53:26So this is... the special reward?
53:29Alright, little Octavia. Enough. Marcus needs his rest. Let's go.
53:39Lord Consul, who am I really?
53:43Useless. Absolutely useless. I handed you every resource imaginable to take the Julius family's arena, and you couldn't even take
53:50down a nobody?
53:51Lord Lucius, I was wrong. But that Marcus, he's not an ordinary man. He defeated Goliath and killed the northern
53:56giant bear with his bare hands. He's something else entirely.
53:58Not ordinary. No matter how capable he is, could he possibly compare to Marcus Scipia? That so-called god of
54:04war of Rome, I ambushed him myself and left his body for the wolf.
54:07I've been organizing a national gladiatorial tournament as a grand spectacle. My champion, Titan, will take the crown. And when
54:12he does, all of Rome will understand exactly what I'm capable of. The Senate will have no choice but to
54:17bow.
54:17As for that, Marcus, go tell the Julius family to enter him in the tournament. I want to see for
54:22myself whether he can stand up to Titan's fists.
54:25Yes. Thank you, Lord Lucius. I will see to it at once.
54:28Yes.
