YM778.TV Chapter 60 Brawl
Lexus never underestimated his son, but he still thought that he had gone too far… Aion was smart enough to know that he couldn\'t pull his punches, and yet… he felt a bit of a sense of guilt. If magic in the tournament could be used, Lexus knew that Aion would have a much easier time fighting him, and defeating Horis wouldn\'t be a crazy idea but something possible. Still, there wasn\'t much point in thinking about that…
Regardless, when the dust curtain began to dissipate, everyone noticed that Aion\'s shadow still standing in the middle of that. When everyone could see him clearly, they noticed that half of his armor had been destroyed and his sword had been broken. Only the hilt still was intact. As for his body, he had wounds everywhere. He was bleeding from his nose, mouth, and ears… his condition was critical, but he refused to fall.
In that situation, many people realized that Aion was just a kid. He was nowhere as muscular as his father due to his age… he was just a ten year old kid fighting for the freedom of his mother. So, those who had a slight amount of conscience began to feel bad for the prejudice they showed until now.
Aion looked at the remains of his sword and clicked his tongue in annoyance. Despite that, he didn\'t throw it away. He began to hold it in a reverse grip because he knew that the fight wasn\'t over. To use that much through a random sword, it was clear that Lexus\' weapon wasn\'t in a much better state… when Lexus tried to get up while using his sword as support, it fell apart, leaving only the hilt behind.
In any other situation, Lexus would surrender. Without his sword, there wasn\'t much that he could do, but in the end, he had to keep going. He had to show as much spirit as his youngest son, at the very least.
While staggering, Aion began to move toward his father. He was exhausted and wounded, while his father was only exhausted… it would be difficult, but he could pull that off. Lexus began to approach as well, and when they got in range, they began to punch each other.
Aion thought that he would have the upper hand in that aspected, but the weight of his father granted him some extra attack power. Without any other choice, he began to block his punches with the hilt of his sword. The damaged bones of his arms began to throb, and then Lexus flinched. Aion used that chance and then attacked his father with a liver blow. The armor that Lexus was using nullified some of the damage, but his body still bent forward.
Lexus noticed that he left his face wide open for an attack, so he used his arms to protect his head, but instead of attacking the guard, Aion used the liver blow again and again. When Lexus fell, he didn\'t have any other choice but to headbutt his own son, and while that stopped his punches, it also made both of their foreheads throb, so they stopped attacking for a while.
When they recovered, they prepared to attack, but much to Lexus\' surprise, Aion used a headbutt as well, and thanks to his posture, his headbutt made his father get dizzy while Aion endured the pain. Despite that, Lexus could tell that Aion would attack his liver again, and he moved his arms to protect that area… However, he was hit by the sword\'s hilt in the middle of his torso, on his solar plexus.
Lexus\' body was paralyzed, and he felt the pain and exhaustion passing through his entire body. For a full second, he was unable to do anything until Aion punched with all his might his father\'s left temple. Aion thought that he would need a few more punches there to make his father pass out, but his second punch only hit the air. His father had passed out, and his eyes were white…
The referee came to check Lexus and confirmed that he was unconscious. Despite everything they saw, the audience still looked surprised. Few people know how much a body blow hurts when one is exhausted. Besides, by hitting his father\'s solar plexus with the hilt of the sword, the damage had been a lot more concentrated than expected…
Regardless, Aion was determined to be the winner, and once again, the healers went to check and heal Lexus and left Aion alone. Still, he could heal himself soon enough. He just had to find a place where no one could see him.
In any case, while he was heading to the waiting room, Aion passed by Horis, who watched the whole fight. He didn\'t look impressed or worried, but Aion couldn\'t care less about it. Aion kept his pride by winning against his father. Now he could throw it away to kill Horis…
Along the way home, Aion healed his wounds since most of the capital was empty, but he decided to be careful and only did it when he was crossing some dark alleys. Also, along the way, he thought about what he would say to his mother… most of his wounds had been closed, but his armor was a mess…
