YM778.TV Chapter 279 Victory?
After five minutes, Sauros and Seris couldn\'t help but be troubled… Aion was acting like a zombie. He walked toward the swordsman, and he ignored the damage that he had suffered. Until he got close enough to be directly hit by the enemy… while he wasn\'t being pushed away as much as before, the wounds were opening due to those attacks. Still, at least he healed himself before walking toward the swordsman… Rinse and repeat.
"Sauros…" Seris said, in visible discomfort, while seeing blood dripping from Aion\'s armor. Things were starting to get way more dangerous than they had expected..
"He can do it…" Sauros said. "I don\'t know how, but he can do it. Look."
Sauros pointed at the spot on the ground, and she saw small blood pools on it… they were the spots that Aion had been pushed away. Once he changed his weapon, he was pushed away by fifty meters. Then forty-nine… then forty-eight… he was able to endure the attacks of the Swordsman now.
The reasons for that were simple, Aion was leveling up Iron Skin whenever he got hit badly and because he used the magic stones to refine it even faster, the hammer. So, his endurance was increasing by leaps and bounds.
"You have a lot of cards on your disposal, and I recognize some of them…" The swordsman said. "Who are you? You aren\'t supposed to have any of that… and that power to keep getting strong agaisnt adversity…"
"Do you recognize them?" Aion asked while smiling. "It seems that some of your allies and enemies showed that. I already suspected as much… just hang in there for a bit longer. Soon I will be able to endure your attacks."
Despite his claims, that seemed a bit farfetched considering how much blood Aion lost… he was also using all his mana to heal himself and nothing else. He had exhausted his cores a while ago, and he didn\'t have much left…
"It is more probable that you will die before you achieve that," The swordsman said.
"Probability doesn\'t interest me, and I will just do it, and nothing else matters," Aion said and then began to walk toward the swordsman.
The swordsman kept looking at Aion. Even if he managed to pull that off, Aion wouldn\'t be in a condition to fight afterward. For someone of his age, it was impressive that he could do that much, though.
"I won\'t be satisfied if things end like this. If you trained hard for a year, perhaps you could pull it off," The swordsman said. "In any case, show me your best attack. It will be more interesting if you show me what you can do instead of just walking like a zombie. I will block it, naturally, but that should give you a chance to show your true potential and if you can protect the relics."
"... Give me five minutes, and I will show you one attack that you won\'t ever forget," Aion said after biting his lips in annoyance.
"Don\'t feel too bad about it. This is a test to see if you have the strength and the guts to protect the relics," The swordsman said. "If you had attacked me with all your might from the beginning, I would have been forced to do the same. The others did the same thing, right? Still, I am different because I realized several things about you. Besides, this is your golden chance. Right above me, she is waiting."
Aion\'s ancestor… she was indeed on the next level… it was a bit sooner than Aion had expected, but that wasn\'t a bad surprise by any means. Aion could get some answers after kicking the head of that annoying convinced swordsman…
Aion reset the class but soon used the experience to make it reach the same level… what he wanted to change was the build. Aion put all his points into strength… the next attack probably will break his arms as well, but that will be a cheap price to break the teeth of the swordsman.
After using the status points, Aion used the improvement points to strengthen Fury and Furious attack… that combo should represent his current anger against the swordsman.
The swordsman, Sauros, and Seris noticed that Aion\'s aura was changing… They didn\'t know how that worked, but they could tell that Aion was truly increasing the potential of his next strike.
"Ready or not, here I come…" Aion said while showing a vicious look in his eyes
The swordsman nodded and raised his sword to receive the attack… in the end, before charging, Aion accumulated all the energy in his body on his weapon and also before using Force Release. Thanks to his low endurance, the bones in Aion\'s body began to crack, and blood began to fall from his nails… before that could mess with him, Aion charged and then used Fury and Furious Strike before jumping and swinging down the hammer with all his might…
The swordsman blocked the attack, and then a powerful shockwave sent Sauros and Seris away… they saw the ground and the walls around them cracking. Such had been the power of the attack… they couldn\'t even keep their eyes open.
Aion clicked his tongue when he noticed that the attack didn\'t snap in two the target\'s sword… in any case, and he was sent flying to the other side of the room and hit his back against the wall, creating a massive hole in it… now they were even. However, the Swordsman landed on his with only a bit of blood leaving his mouth… Perhaps Aion should have enhanced it with ice magic…
However, the enemy\'s weapon soon cracked.
"It seems that you obtained the strength to rival mine, but you aren\'t fast enough or durable enough," The swordsman said when his sword broke into pieces and then became shadows, but then he also saw Aion\'s arms completely busted. "Well, let\'s talk for a bit."
