YM778.TV Chapter 68 Reward
Aion didn\'t flinch even in face of death. In fact, he charged toward it with all his might while holding his axes and pointing them at Horis\' head. The last thing he remembers was them hitting the enemy\'s head, nothing more.

Aion checked his parameters and learned why he survived… the damage he suffered in the last attack made the skill HP plus level up five times. People make their own luck, so Aion decided to think that he won because he was more resourceful and not stupid like a door.
In any case, Aion was feeling quite hungry and sluggish, so he wondered how much time had passed since the fight. He could recover his health at one point per hour, but he was healed while he was unconscious, so it was hard to say…
Regardless, Aion achieved his goal. Now he just had to consider his next steps, so he used that peaceful time for that. A couple of hours later, Artemisia woke up and began to cry while hugging her son. That hurt a little bit, but Aion felt that he deserved that much punishment for making her worry. Still, more punishment was waiting for him after one hell of a lecture, and then he had his ears pulled a little bit.
"How do you feel, my stupid son?" Artemisia asked. "Does somewhere hurt? You have been sleeping for five days, so I will ask someone to make some food for you."
"That would be good… more than anything, my ears hurt, and my eardrums as well," Aion replied. "Sorry for worrying you, mom. What happened while I was on the dreams land?"
"Nothing much… your father and brothers came a few times to check on you, that was all," Artemisia said. "It seems that you won and Horis died… but you looked like… it was hard to describe using words. All in all, you returned here like you were a massive pile of wounds over each other."
"I am glad that my handsome face is back to normal then," Aion said.
"Don\'t move from here. Your father told me to call you as soon as you wake up," Artemisia said. "It looks like he has some serious thing to say."
Aion nodded… while wondering what it was about. Would the king change his mind now? Would he be stupid enough to get on the wrong side of someone who defeated that fucking monster? While Aion wasn\'t strong enough to be a problem for several armies like Horis, he sure could take more than a few dozen men, even more, if he used magic.
Regardless, after a while, Lexus appeared with his mother, and he had something like bed hair. It was hard to say, but it looked like Aion woke up in the middle of the night. That was why the mansion was so quiet. Despite that, it looked like Lexus was genuinely relieved… even though his son had just killed one of his bosses. Come to think of it, Lexus probably will be promoted, so things weren\'t so bad for him.
"It seems that you are fine… your healing speed astonished us," Lexus said after a long sigh. "It doesn\'t look like you want to waste time talking about this, so I will cut to the chase. You obtained your goal, and you can take your mother to that territory I mentioned years ago. However, there won\'t be a reward ceremony. While your fight changed the minds of many people about you, a lot of them still now hate and fear you."
"That was fine. If I had the chance, I also would skip something as boring as an awarding ceremony," Aion said. "Regardless, how will things play out for the Kresnik family after I killed that guy?"
"You don\'t have to worry about that; while even he had a family and loyal followers, nothing major would happen," Lexus replied. "For a while, many people have tried to find a way to make Horis retire… while he was strong, in recent years, his strength only brought the challenge. The recent invasion of Caellis was caused because he wanted to fight Horis. His loss is a pity, but most people knew that he lost in a fair fight… even though you two pulled some weird weapons in the middle of it."
"Is that so… that is fine then," Aion said and then began to relax to sleep again. "It would bother me a little if my actions were to cause problems to those uninvolved."
"I see… thank you for your consideration," Lexus said. "Regardless, you should rest for a while and start your trip only when you are fully recovered. It will be impossible to hide the results of the tournament and now those that wanted to defeat Horis will probably come after you."
