The Supreme Level Up System

Chapter 50 Two Spears

"What about the others?" Aion asked.

"Tomorrow, I will fight Georges," Lexus said.

Aion had no idea who was going to win between Georges and Elio, but his father's victory was expected. It was impossible to imagine Georges defeating his father, and Aion could see him in the corner of the room, looking pretty nervous.

"Putting that aside, if you want to fight me, there is someone troublesome on your path," Lexus was looking at Vangel, preparing for his fight.

If that guy keeps winning, Aion was supposed to fight him in two days. Still, the guys who survived until the fourth day were the 64 strongest guys in the realm, so he might lose tomorrow. Unfortunately, it didn't look like that would be the case, considering that after a while, he won another match in a single hit. Aion didn't want to believe that such a thing would happen to him, but the idea alone made him feel like hiding his face in a hole.

When Aion got home, his mother sighed in relief. His armor and clothes had been damaged a bit, but he was fine. Aion didn't want to talk about the fight, but his mother insisted, and he gave her the details.

'I am glad that but don't try too hard, okay?" Artemisia asked.

"Got it," Aion said. "They managed to dirt my clothes this time, but they won't pull that off ever again."

Artemisia began to mess with Aion's head since it seemed that her warnings never stayed inside his head for long or he treated them seriously. In any case, Aion fell asleep pretty soon. That battle didn't last for long, but the damage he suffered sure wore him out…

Aion knew that his next opponent would be one of the sixty-four strongest men of the kingdom, but he had planned to end things as soon as possible. He will have to be at his peak to defeat that annoying and reckless prince. Maybe Aion was being a bit too harsh, thinking of him as someone annoying, but it couldn't be helped since it looked like he couldn't understand his own position in the kingdom.

When Aion checked the board that showed the matches of that day, Aion frowned a little since he didn't realize that his opponent, this time was a woman. He didn't recall that name being called a single time on the previous day, so he didn't know what she looked like. Regardless, it didn't take long for the fight between Georges and Lexus to be announced.

In any case, that was another good chance for Aion to see how strong his father was and what he could do to defeat him. Once again, Lexus chose a longsword, so Aion decided to formulate his attack plan with that in mind. In any case, Georges chose a spear to keep his father away. He will have a hard time if he lets him close in, though…

Much to Aion's surprise, Georges didn't seem that nervous. In fact, he looked pretty relaxed… His attacks will be sharp and precise. Although he was going to suffer thanks to that, Aion could see that his father was in a good mood. Regardless, both of them assumed their battle stances and then waited for the referee to give the sign of the start of the battle.

"Let's see… If I were Georges…" Aion thought.

Before Aion could finish his sentence, he saw his brother doing exactly what he had envisioned a few moments ago. Georges activated the Inner Force and charged forward. The first strike was repelled by Lexus' sword, but he still was pushed backward while holding it with both hands. In the next moment, a torrent of strikes aimed at Lexus' torso approached. Since Georges focused on speed instead of power, Lexus didn't feel much weight behind them, but blocking and dodging them was a hassle.

Lexus took a few steps backward while he focused on dodging. He couldn't trust that much on the durability of a weapon that wasn't his, after all. In any case, most people couldn't see the thrusts, so they didn't notice when Lexus' armor began to get hit.

"He can't last long with that, so he should cause some damage, or he will lose the same way as Henri…" Aion thought.

That being said, Lexus wasn't just going to wait for that. He also activated Inner Force, and then he began to repel of the thrusts with ease…. eventually, Georges was the one who was pushed backward, and when Lexus hit his spear too strongly, and the strike made him flinch, Lexus increased his speed and then passed nearby Georges in an instant and hit his back with the hilt of the sword. Georges fell unconscious on the ground, and Lexus was declared the winner. The audience liked the show that father and son put in front of them.

"I suppose he will feel satisfied knowing that he made father use Inner Force…" Aion thought.

"Phew, it is tough to get old…" Lexus said while clearing the sweat from his brow. "I won't use that as an excuse if I lose, so don't worry. Despite getting old, I am still at my peak."

"Good to know," Aion said.

Instead of thinking about that, Aion was already focusing on his next opponent. The fight will happen in a couple of seconds, and since he didn't know much about her, he had to at least sharpen his senses… to rely on instinct and reflexes instead of strategy.

In any case, it didn't take long for Aion to find his opponent. She soon approached and Aion felt that she had seen her somewhere… He only recognized her when he grabbed two spears… She was one of the girls that Aion defeated years ago in the guild when he was trying to make money.
