Konrad tossed his vibrosword point-down into the sand, watching his opponent die in agony, before looking at the cheering crowd with cold disdain. The cheers and title meant nothing to him. He felt empty now, dread creeping it at the thought of the maddening wait until his next fight. He looked up to the announcer's box and bellowed a single word, somehow cutting through the crowd.
"Another!"

Konudo laughed when he heard Konrad calling for another one; that crazy fucker would make him rich.
Look's like the dragon is still hungry, ladies and gentlemen. He asks for more to quench his thirst for blood, and so shall he have.
The crowd seemed like apes in heat right now. They were getting much more than what they had paid for.
Then, let us open the Gate!
The Changrian waved and drums started playing as the large portcullis was raised. Two enormous reeks rushed out of their confinements; in nature, these magnificent beasts are considered herbivores, but not these individuals, there were bred for this very presentation. From birth, they were fed on meat, This turned their leathery skin a dark red and made the reeks much more aggressive. Reeks could not thrive on meat, so they were given just enough plant matter to keep them healthy.
The bovine-like beast circled Konrad, they had been left to hunger for the last week, so their eyes were focused on their prize.

You do not send prey against a predator, he thought. Then again, he had not been born this way either, but made. This did not give him any sympathy for the beasts.
Konrad picked up his first opponent's vibroaxe with two hands and hurled it at the nearest reek, before pulling his vibrosword from the red sands.

Konrad Kassal DEX: 25
The Reeks' response to his axe throwing is almost immediate; as soon as he jolts the weapon, the two animals charge at him. The one coming face to face to him is struck by the vibroaxe right on his left front shoulder, the gash is pretty deep, it may not have killed it but it'll slow him down.
Konrad Kassal DEX: 22
The second is coming from behind him, but Kassal's augmented senses allow his to roll out of the way of the bull's charge and grab his sword in the process.

Playing matador now, Konrad returns to his feet, readying his sword for a thrust as he attempts to bait one of the beasts into charging. He reaches out, attempting to scramble the beast's already simple minds.
(Mind 1)

Konrad Kassal Mind: 3
Kassal is very tired from his earlier display, he doesn't manage to reach even the surface of the Reek's mind.

Instead he positions himself with his back to a wall so only one can physically charge him at a time, bracing himself with the vibrosword to plunge it into a beast's skull at just the right moment.

Konrad Kassal STR: 20
Konrad manages to stab the charging reek in the eye, right before jumping sideways out of the beats way. It hits it's head on the wall, leaving a deep crease behind, it seems disoriented. In the meanwhile, the other one limps towards the Dragon, he may be hurt but he won't give up easily on his pray.

He charges forward at a sprint, attempting to slide under the beast and slice it open at the belly, hopefully avoiding being squished into meat paste in the process.

That is the type of situation that calculations must be made quickly and with precision; Konrad had rushed a little in his, as he sprinted he noticed the angle of the incoming beast was not favorable, he'd probably get trampled in the process. Right before the limping brute get's to him, Kassal spins out of the way.

He spins the its weak side, attempting to use the reek's slowed momentum and turning radius to his advantage.

Konrad Kassal STR: 23
The vibroblade digs deep into the beast's dark red flesh, cutting through nerves and tendons; the Reek moans in pain and falls to the ground, that one isn't going anywhere. Konrad feels the ground trembling, and hears the sound of the incoming train of muscle behind him...

As the reek had previously thwarted his attempts to attack from below, he went high this time, attempting to leap over the beast's charge and dig his blade into its spine. He was going to Legolas this shit.

Konrad Kassal DEX: 14
Apparently that was not a very good idea, he had spent most of his fuel on the last fight; his legs did not answer very well to his acrobat attempts. Konrad manages to jump, but not high enough to go over the Reek's head, the beast's central horn catches the Dragon flat on the chest.
Konrad Kassal CON: 9
Konrad could only feel his breath leaving him as he was thrown against the iron wall. It takes him a while to get his shit back together, in the meanwhile the Reek is coming arm again.

His ribs hurt and he struggled for breath, looking up to see the creature bear down on him again. Yet, he was not afraid. His life had meant nothing, why should his potential death? He ran straight at the beast with a primal roar of defiance that matched its own, raising his sword again in hopes of dealing a fatal blow.
