PP# Minus facing a gauntlet of challengers in an arena! (Patreon)

Chosing to carve the path for a life of adventuring, Minus had to get good with fighting and how to effectively combine his strenght and size with all sorts of weapons. When he abandoned the lands of the minotaurs seeking for a master, he ended up being taken as the squire of a famous mercenary and adventurer, Hagata Greenvalley.

After a brief period of adventures alongside her, Hagata suddenly gave her blessings to Minus, considering him a fully prepared adventurer. Even if she said that, Minus didn't feel prepared enough and insisted in following her but Hagata got annoyed because having that shirtless minotaur with her was distracting her from her job.

Since his master never taught him how to manage his finances, Minus quickly got short in cash and had to resort to quick jobs just to have something to eat (which for a minotaur, is quite expensive). Lucky for him, he ended up on Colisaria, a city famous for its pit fights and dangerous championships - and even better: when the organizers looked at him, they instantly gave him a spot. Maybe that city was short on minotaurs?

Unlucky for Minus, he didn't know the language of the championship he joined... but when he looked at the unnarmed fighters he figured it must be a wrestling match.

Canna, a catfolk was his first challenger. A ninja from lands beyond the ocean, she was nimble and quick. Minus had some trouble immobilizing, but once he did it he thought to himself: "wait, what's the next step after grappling your opponent"?

Then he reminded a night when Hagata taught him a bit of wrestling. First, you should take your armor and clothes to make grappling easy. Then after grabbing your opponent, that was the time when he should really grapple his opponent - and for that, he had to use his manhood.

Hagata trained him in wrestling every night! He was confident in his abilities to grapple opponents since that was the only thing he won against Hagata everytime!

The catfolk was quickly defeated, with Canna shaking in the ground with her eyes rolling to the back of her head with an ahegao smile... clear signs of a victory like his master taught him!

Ankra was his next challenger. She was a goblin barbarian from the Whiteclaw clan, fearsome warriors who gave a lot of headache to the dwarves of Guirlanda - hard to believe goblins could be that strong, but they surely were the exception to the rule.

Although Ankra looked strong, she quickly folded to his grappling technique. Minus was surprised how good he ended up being on wrestling if he was able to defeat an opponent so strong so quickly!

His final opponent was a wandering drow witch from the land of Azure, Symmala. She actually defeated all other opponents before Minus, so that meant she was pretty good on wrestling!

And what a fierce opponent! Somehow her legs locked around his waist so tight he couldn't pull out from her. "Where a witch learned to be so good at wrestling?" He wondered.

But after they faced each other Minus realized something strange on all that competition...

When he was congratulated by the organizers, they also were nude and not using any proper armor. As for his prize, they conducted him to the private suite in the coliseum with everything paid.

The suite had king's bed, a private onsen and a bunch of statues of sexy angels doing obscene poses. Where were the fighters? The weapons? Why there was the smell of roses in the air?

He was so tired. Better just take the bath since they had the effort to prepare for him.

When he was already inside the onsen, the three girls he defeated appeared, joining him nonchalantly ignoring the embarassed minotaur.

"Don't worry, big guy!" Canna, the catolk tranquilized. "That's just the 'taking a bath with your brothers of arms after a battle' thing. That's perfectly natural, nya!"

Minus let a sigh of relief escape without noticing the girls approaching his chest. The goblin was the first to talk.

"Ankra shall claim the spoils of this battle! The minotaur earned Ankra's respect. He shall bear the future warriors of my clan!"

"Geeh, let him rest you savage goblin" Symalla grabbed his left arm. "I bet I can help him relax with my special massage technique ♥"

"Hey, why you two are skipping the line! That's not what we agreed! Nya!"

Even after the competition, it wasn't over.

And Minus won the Patreon project of this month!

The idea was a "gauntlet of champions from different cultures/backgrounds". I used the chance to add some OCs I had in the fridge without a drawing (Ankra being a goblin from last year and Symalla the drow who appeared in some drawings from last year as well). The only character I created from the ground up here was the catgirl Canna (discount Nekomata. I'm not even denying lmao).

So we have a cat ninja, a goblin barbarian and a drow witch for our minotaur to match! I loved working on these - and not gonna lie, I had an idea for another scene with all three girls combined, but that'll have to be for another time since the scope of this project is already big enough.

I'm not planning to drop the idea anytime soon thought. It's in my list, I just have to go through my current WIPs for this month XD

Hope you all enjoy and thanks for all the support! :D
