Chapter 403 Cosmic Dust
They suspected that Aaron was not a martial artist, but merely a charlatan.
To say that Aaron didn't lie would be a lie.
However, it would be far from true to say that Aaron was not a martial artist.
Aaron indeed disliked using force to solve problems, because directly engaging in combat always carried risks.
He prefers to proceed cautiously, but he is not averse to using force.
If Aaron's true form were here, even facing a top-tier warrior and being restricted from using martial arts and other abilities, Aaron did not believe he would lose.
Although the body's abilities have indeed declined significantly, Aaron is still capable of defeating Gaelwyn and Horn.
At this moment, they arrived at an open space in front of the lord's residence.
Aaron, holding his cane, stood calmly in place with an extremely elegant posture.
Meanwhile, Gaelwyn and Horn stood opposite Aaron with serious expressions.
Gael said, "Listen, sir, swords have no eyes. Once the fight starts, I can't guarantee you won't get hurt."
Aaron laughed and said, "I don't necessarily have to fight. To be honest, there's no point in us fighting. You should save your strength to deal with the enemy."
"Hmph!" Horn sneered. "Are you afraid? I will show absolutely no mercy. If you are no match for me, it just means you're a charlatan. Even if I kill you, Lord Lopez will never blame me!"
Perhaps Aaron didn't take it seriously, and simply asked calmly:
"So, how do you two plan to fight? What rules do you need? Who goes first, or will you both come at me together?"
Seemingly upon hearing Aaron's plan to fight two against one, the expressions of the two opposite him were clearly somewhat worried.
They stared at Aaron with suspicious expressions, wondering whether he was bluffing or truly possessed such abilities.
"Then beat us until we submit!" Gael said.
Hmm—Aaron doesn't like this vague standard at all.
However, since they made such a request, Aaron didn't mind giving them a little lesson.
"I'll go first!"
Gaelu turned to Horn and said this, then put on his helmet, drew his sword, and got into position to fight Aaron.
Aaron had had in-depth exchanges with Pegasus Burn, and he gained some partial understanding of the training of modern knights.
Generally speaking, apart from those knights who earned their knighthood through military merit or by using connections, this is the general rule.
Most other orthodox knights graduated from knightly schools.
In order to systematically train knights on a large scale, knight schools would set up many unnecessary courses.
Just like in battle, you have to assume a fighting stance, but in a real fight, even a moment's hesitation can determine victory or defeat, life or death.
Therefore, Belles said that a warrior with awareness and talent will inevitably change the habits he developed in the academy as soon as possible.
However, this rider before him didn't seem to have reached the same level as Pegasus, and even advised Aaron:

"Aren't you going to prepare a response, sir!"
Unfortunately, Aaron's mask couldn't display any expression; otherwise, they would have seen Aaron's serene smile.
"I'm always ready, but you can attack at any time."
Aaron remained standing, leaning on his cane, unmoving.
Without another word, Gaelw drew his sword and charged toward Aaron.
Seeing this, Aaron turned the cane so that the handle was facing outwards and raised it.
A powerful, heavy slash fell from above at an angle.
Aaron immediately raised his cane to block.
"when!"
A sharp sound rang out, and Aaron blocked the attack.
Although this wooden cane is very light, it has been specially enchanted by Aaron.
Even though Gail's iron sword looked exceptionally sharp, it couldn't cut through it.
Aaron's puppet body may not have any other skills, but it is incredibly strong.
Therefore, a straightforward attack could not threaten Aaron at all.
If Aaron could use the killing perspective of "Crimson Lust" at this moment, he would have already launched a counterattack.
The battle will likely end in an instant.
Clearly, the other party was just testing Aaron.
But in a real battle, there is no opportunity for people to test each other.
If a move doesn't have enough killing intent, the opponent will immediately launch a counterattack.
The tide of battle will be turned in an instant.
That's too childish—
As Aaron used his cane to deflect the opponent's longsword, he simultaneously thrust outwards with his left hand.
The doll's arms are also the length of a normal person's, so it cannot reach the other person.
It seems that Gailu thought the same way, which is why he did not try to dodge or avoid it.
However, his carelessness will come at a price.
Flames erupted from his palm.
The flames engulfed the armored body and quickly spread inwards through the iron armor.
Gail screamed in pain and retreated.
This is the price Aaron paid for his cold-hearted and careless attitude towards his opponent!
Aaron's divine armor was meticulously designed; even though the puppet couldn't use other methods, it wasn't something just anyone could handle.
Oh, right, Gervais just said, "We'll beat them until they submit."
But he hadn't convinced him yet, so Aaron couldn't stop.
Aaron never makes a move lightly, but when he does, he goes all out to ensure he doesn't lose his advantage.
He strode forward and launched a pursuit of Gerw, who was still tormented by the burning sensation.
He swung his cane, aiming for the opponent's chest, and thrust it forward.
Just then, Horn, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly rushed forward and blocked Aaron's attack.
At the same time, a pursuit was launched.
Oh? So it's still two against one in the end?
The idea of "lack of martial ethics" does not hold true in Aaron's mind. Every battle has only one purpose: to achieve victory.
Aaron was quite impressed with Horn's ability to launch a surprise attack decisively.
At least, he's better than Guerreu.
His moves were quite flashy; a white blade of energy sliced through the ground and attacked Aaron directly.
Aaron, however, remained quite calm, swinging his cane and slashing at the air blade.
This cane is enchanted with "cosmic dust," a term that doesn't possess significant destructive power.
However, it can destroy the structure of loose matter and energy.
Aaron wasn't sure if Henry had noticed the power of this term, but Aaron had thought of its usage many years ago.
After the Enchantment trait is applied, straightforward, non-ranged attacks will be much less effective against Aaron.
Aaron easily defused the situation; he could imagine the look of terror on Horn's face beneath the mask.
However, Horn was clearly more instinctive in combat than Gaelwyn.
He barely paused before suddenly thrusting his weapon at Aaron.
A bright spot of light bloomed at the tip of the sword.
Then a beam of light shot straight toward Aaron at incredible speed.
As a result, Aaron had no time to dodge or block.
Is it true that in martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be broken?
However, Aaron was still unharmed.
The beam of light struck Aaron's abdomen, but Aaron's clothes were exceptionally protective!
Just then, Horn seemed to realize just how powerful Aaron really was.
He immediately exclaimed, "I'm impressed! He is too!"
Hmm, that's quite efficient.
Aaron hung his cane on his wrist and swung it gently.
The cane then spun in a spiral in front of Aaron.
He strolled on until he passed the two men and saw Horn trying to help Guelw to his feet.
Burns are no fun, especially since Gail's skin and flesh are probably stuck to his armor.
Aaron showed no sympathy, but simply said softly:
"Then let's not waste time, keep up, the final battle is about to begin!"
