Chapter 34 Aiden Vs Oliver
Chapter 34 Aiden Vs Oliver
?
"Are you serious master?" asked the shapeshifter, not understanding why his master was saying such a thing.
"Yes, come fast," shouted Oliver, knowing that he couldn't waste too much time-fighting Aiden in here as the special formation which was currently restricting them would soon disappear.
If the merchants and inhabitants of the city were to see Oliver and Aiden fight, they would surely have loads of questions and the king would probably take the side of Aiden, knowing their relationship which was quite close.
The shapeshifter not losing any time quickly went right beside his master.
"Did you try to change into him?" asked Oliver.
"Yeah, but it doesn't work as it normally does, I can't use his power."
Normally, the shapeshifter when transforming appearance into another person was able to get his stats but it wasn't the case with Aiden for unknown reasons.
"What, are you sure?" asked Oliver, not believing what he had just heard.
"Yes master, should I change into you so that I can help you?"
"Yes quickly, with the two of us, we should be able to defeat him."
Aiden was watching them have a little conversation, noticing that they were even looking at him. Using this opportunity, he dashed close to the shapeshifter who was now looking exactly like Oliver and the real Oliver.
The way for Aiden to discern them was that one of them had a lot of equipment, an armor that seemed to cost quite a lot, a sword, and other things like that.
The other one was almost naked, only having normal clothes on him.
As Aiden dashed forward, the shapeshifter stepped forward wanting to take on the hit since he basically couldn't die from normal attacks.
Seeing the shapeshifter taking on the attack, Oliver went behind him preparing an attack for Aiden.
Aiden slashed the shapeshifter without much problem because it wasn't really resistant as he had seen earlier
As Oliver predicted, Aiden had successfully slashed the shapeshifter but wasn't prepared to receive another attack.
Oliver with his sword starting his attack as he put his sword over his head, ready to slash down at Aiden.
Seeing Oliver charge his attack, Aiden started trying to go back to dodge it, but he wasn't fast enough.
*Slash*
Blood could be seen coming out of the abdomen of Aiden who had slightly hit by the sword of Oliver.
However, instantly after getting hurt, Aiden decided to activate the skill he had obtained in the first trial [Regeneration], and in only five seconds the blood had stopped coming out. It was like he had never been hurt before.
Noticing that his attack didn't do much damage frustrated Oliver who had given his all into the attack.
"Why are you not hurt anymore? What sort of magic did you use?"
"Who knows?" responded Aiden, not talking much as he concentrated on his fight once again.
He didn't reveal the skill he had because he didn't have any reason to do so, it was better to keep it hidden.
After saying that Aiden dashed once again toward Oliver who didn't have the shapeshifter to protect him this time as he was currently reassembling his body on the ground as fast as possible.
*Slash*
Aiden did a quick movement with his dagger aiming directly for the neck of his victim, not wanting to prolong the fight too much as he would get tired quickly fighting two opponents at the same time.
Seeing the attack coming his way, Oliver brought his sword close to his neck as fast as he could but he wasn't fast enough and only deflected the attack into one of his eyes, losing sight from one eye.
Having lost the use of one of his eyes completely complicated the task of defeating Aiden even more.
At first, he had thought that he might have a good chance with the shapeshifter's help but seeing how Aiden had dealt with him at the start of the fight, it was clear that he wouldn't have much impact.
Now without his complete sight, it was far easier for Aiden to find the blindspots of his opponent.
Not relenting in his attacks, he continued attacking him on his right since he had lost vision on that side making it difficult for Oliver to defend against Aiden.
Oliver was starting to bleed from everywhere on his body, realizing that he was going to lose. He tried to get Aiden to stop attacking by talking.
"St-stop, I have information for you..." said Oliver out of breath, close to losing consciousness.
"What type of information?" asked Aiden, slowing down in his attacks, only holding his dagger at the neck of Oliver.
"I-I can tell you everything you want, I know everything about that empire," said Oliver in a hurried manner as he was scared that he was going die any second now.
"How? How do you know so much about the Upsilon Empire," asked Aiden, wanting to confirm what the shapeshifter had said earlier.
"I'm a spy sent from over there, I was born and raised here ever since young age. However, don't get fooled, my loyalty still lies with the Upsilon Empire."
This totally confirmed what Aiden was thinking, there really was a spy in the most important members of the Empire.
'Who knows how much he told the other side about my arrival there?'
'He probably told them that I had a special mission, but they don't have any idea of what it is.' thought Aiden quickly thinking about what the enemy camp could know about him.
Wanting to know more about what he had told them, Aiden asked one question.
"Do they know about my mission?"
"No, of course not, it's actually the reason I am here fighting you. I wanted to get information to alert them, but as you can see it didn't work."
The answer from Oliver relieved Aiden since he was stressed about the enemy knowing of his arrival.
"Actually, that's my only question. Then, I guess this is goodbye," said Aiden as he slashed the neck of Oliver.
[You have killed a general from the Upsilon Empire.]
