Chapter 67 A Fight To Death (5)

Aion didn't feel the weight of the armor, but he couldn't feel it strengthening himself either. It was a magic item that was focused on durability even when it was in sword form, so perhaps that was to be expected… Regardless, Aion didn't have time to think about that since the enemy charged at him while using the fire blast punches again.

This time, Aion charged in a straight line, only protecting his head with his hand axes. The other parts that were hit were protected by the black armor. Horis bit his lips in annoyance. Aion thought that he would obtain more power, but nothing happened. It seemed that his body finally reached the limit…

Horis couldn't get any more power up, but that didn't prevent him from improving his abilities. Instead of firing those powerful fire blasts, he made his hands practically burn to enhance his direct attacks and waited for Aion's approach… that would be troublesome, but Aion expected nothing less from that asshole.

The enemy tried to punch Aion, and then swung his hand axes to attack as well. When they came in contact, a small explosion happened, and while Aion wounded the enemy's fists a bit, the explosion also pushed him backward for several meters. The armor did its job to protect him, so he was fine.

Horis charged faster than Aion and began to punch him. Aion blocked the attacks with his hand axes and was pushed backward for several meters with each hit. While his weapons were harder the ordinary ones, they still could break, so he couldn't do that forever…

Despite that, the one who got impatient first was Horis. With both of his fists on fire, he tried to smash Aion from the sides. The first hit didn't work, but Horis kept attacking again and again. Aion decided to take advantage of his stupidity and then jumped to attack the enemy's throat again. However, Horis stopped attacking and grabbed him by the neck.

The armor got in the way and prevented Horis from strangling Aion, even when the enemy was using both hands. However, he insisted… it almost felt like he thought that he could break his own armor like that.

Aion couldn't let that happen and tried to attack. However, his arms were shorter than Horis', so he couldn't hit the enemy's head or neck. When Aion heard the sound of something cracking near his neck, he immediately began to attack the enemy's elbows. With each hit, a small wound was slowly getting bigger in size… blood started to gush from the wound, and while his aura closed the wounds, Aion's attacks opened it again.

Despite the pain, Horis kept going… he decided to bet that his arms would last longer than his armor… at that point in time, Aion could no longer see the point of saving his energy, so he used Inner Force to the max level and began to attack even faster, his strikes pierced even deeper than before… Horis flinched and then realized that he was going to lose the bet.

In the end, Horis stopped the straggling and then smashed Aion's body against the ground. That stopped his attacks, and he did that several more times… Between the short of time between those attacks, Aion found an opening and then attacked one of the elbows of the enemy with all his might. The weapon pierced deeper than before and cut the artery of the elbow.

Rage took over Horis' body as he smashed Aion's body against the ground, creating a ten meters wide crater. Several parts of the armor cracked, and then Horis threw Aion to the side… The power of the attack had been so massive that Aion collided agaisnt the walls of the arena and passed through it. Aion's body only stopped when he was no longer inside the arena and after he rolled on the ground for dozens of times.

That got Aion seriously. He saw the world spinning when he tried to get up. The armor began to fall apart, and Aion knew that he could no longer he hit when he spat a lot of blood…

Horis approached through the hole that Aion made while holding his damaged artery. He also needed to be healed as soon as possible because his Aura couldn't close that wound. Still, he was too stupid to be reasonable at this point… in that state, he could only think of killing Aion.

In the end, before the enemy could attack, Aion changed jobs and then became a healer and used his small amount of mana and power with a level one class to heal himself, even if a little bit. Horis realized that Aion had done something crazy and that he couldn't let him continue… So he strengthened his Aura to the limits, to the point that even his blood began to burn, enveloping his body on a red and dark Aura.

"I guess this is it… my golden chance to kill him, but it won't come cheap…" Aion furrowed his eyebrows.

The enemy was going to attack with all his might, so he would leave himself wide open for a short window of time. If Aion uses that chance to attack without caring about defense as well, he will have the chance to inflict a shit ton of damage, and as long as he hits his target, he will defeat him. However, the chances of him going down as well were… pretty high.

​ "Let's finish this, shithead," Aion said.

Horis' aura exploded once more before charging at Aion… his presence had become so powerful that he left a path of burned ground on the land he had crossed before hitting Aion. Despite that, he kept pushing Aion for dozens of meters until they collided agaisnt a fifty meters tall hill and then created an explosion that destroyed it… completely.
