Chapter 63 A Fight To Death (1)

Both of the fighters headed toward the center of the arena, Horis didn't choose any weapon, but Aion still was equipped with his two hand axes. It seemed that the enemy had more than enough confidence that his fists would do the trick.

While seeing the enemy up close and in front of him like that, Aion could see that his black armor covered his whole body. Only his head was unprotected… moreover, it looked like the armor could adapt to his body perfectly since Aion couldn't see any marks on the joints.

"A magic armor…" Aion thought.

He had no idea who gave that to the enemy, but it certainly was someone who was fully aware of the weakness of that asshole. It was hard to tell if Aion could pull that off with ordinary weapons, but he would have to aim for the head from the very beginning… that was his plan to kill the enemy as soon as possible, anyway.

None of those two heard the referee starting the fight, but they raised their guard, and when he felt like it, Horis charged and tried to kick Aion with all his might. Aion jumped just high enough to dodge the kick and then attack the enemy at the same time, but then he saw Horis' arms approaching… In the end, Aion hit those with his ax and then kicked them to jump backward.

The sound of metal echoing through the arena made everyone flinch, and then the sound of Aion clicking his tongue… He hit the armor with all his might, but he didn't leave a single scratch on it…

"Speed, power, durability… He had everything," Aion thought. "However, his line of attack is easy to read… I don't have to worry about them for the time being."

The increase in speed that Aion obtained made him a lot faster than most soldiers that asshole had fought… At least when it comes to regular humans. However, Aion couldn't relax yet.

From the audience's perspective, Horis was like a bull crazy bull that they could barely see moving. Meanwhile, Aion could easily dodge them… His speed and reaction couldn't be compared to before. Some people thought that he went easy against his father, but that would be insanity…

Regardless, from someone like Horis, who defeated all of his enemies until now with a single punch, missing so many hits so often made him red due to the rage.

Meanwhile, Aion couldn't help but smile… until the enemy suddenly became faster and his charges more powerful. It reached a point where the blast of his movement pushed Aion a few centimeters away… still, thanks to that, Horis ended up colliding agaisnt the walls. He was completely unhurt, but the wall of that part fell, and some of the audience felt like they were going to have a heart attack.

"Is that what father was talking about?" Aion furrowed his eyebrows.

Aion's rage consumed stamina at the cost of a bonus that would be equal to the level of the skill and would increase his strength, speed, and endurance… However, there were no signs of exhaustion on Horis' body… he either had an immense stamina pool, or his Rage didn't consume his stamina.

"If I make Rage reach level one hundred percent with the improvement points in Efficiency, will it be like him and won't cost anything?" Aion thought.

That seemed like a good idea to try… fighting above his best without consuming extra stamina would be great… but that also means that his system can grant him the same effect of a mutation that Horis obtained. Not on the same level, but the effects would be similar… Regardless, when Aion Resets his class, everything returned to zero, and Aion couldn't let his parameters fall that much during that fight.

Horis' speed increased again, and Aion was almost hit, but he let the enemy do that since he swung his axes at the enemy's head. Much to his surprise, the black armor moved to protect the enemy's face… what was the difference between letting that kind of armor be used and not letting magic weapons be used… that was stupidity.

The game of cat and mouse lasted for a while, thanks to Rage and his ability to read the line of attacks of the enemy, Aion dodged all the charges, and while he could become faster by becoming angrier, Horis got sick of that and then stomped on the ground, making several cracks appear around. He stomped again and made rocks jump… on the next moment. He began to kick them at Aion.

Aion zigzagged around and dodged most of the projectiles since he couldn't let his weapon being damaged by them. However, eventually, a big one came, and he lowered his stance to dodge it… he couldn't move to the side in time. Horis used that chance to charge even faster and then punched him. That being said, Aion struck the enemy's fist with his axes, but he still was pushed away and slipped on the sand until his back hit the walls forty meters behind him.

Half a second later, that wall was kicked by Horis with all his might and made it fall around him. Somehow, Aion escaped the attack, but some blood was falling from his mouth due to the impact on his back.

The enemy saw Aion moving to his left side for some reason, but that didn't stop Horis from charging like a mad dog again. Once again, Aion dodged to the side when the enemy approached, and Horis collided agaisnt another wall. However, when he turned around, Aion's axes were approaching his face.

Aion noticed that the armor began to move to protect Horis' face, but only when he saw the weapons, and despite that, the armor hadn't been fast enough to block one of the axes… a slightly deep cut was opened on it…
