The Aolyn slowly approached its opponent. It sniffed and moved around slowly. it could feel that the opponent in front of it was dangerous.

Chanotte just walked towards his opponent with his great sword. There's no a single doubt in his action.

-grrrrr-

He already in the Aolyn's range of attack now. It's breath could be heard clearly now. Their eyes were observing each other movement. When he took one step further, the Aolyn suddenly stood up and took its stance to attack.

Chanotte continued to get closer to his opponent. one step, two step, and when he wanted to take the third step...

-whuuum-

The Aolyn brought down its big claws. The air pressure could be felt from afar. Chanotte evaded the attack with one step to the back, but another attack came rightly after the previous one.

A big deadly tusk came with an incredibly speed.

-traang-

Chanotte blocked it with his great sword. He pushed back a little but his guard stood still. There was a reason why he didn't switch to offense. After the attack, the Aolyn connected it with a deadly tail's whip by spinning its body. It didn't give Chanotte time to counter it.

-zriiing-

Chanotte's great sword blocked the attack again. Now, he had time to counter. The moment his opponent still tried to adjust its position, he dashed foward and closed the distance between them.

-fuuh- He gripped his great sword's handle with both of his hands and swung it without any hesitation.

-zraaash- The Aolyn took a clean hit. When Chanotte wanted to take another chance to attack, he realized that his opponent already lifted both of its claws and ready to strike him down.

-whuuum- another deadly attack that successfully evaded by him.

"i thought my attack got him....it has resistance to sharp and pierce attack?"

Yana observed the fight and found something interesting.

"this Aolyn is not fighting like a beast.. it's more like a fighter"

"a fighter? what do you mean sir Yana?"

"just looked, it attack with a combo, chained attack. You get it? another attack come after another"

"ah, i get it. True, i hardly ever see a beast fighting like that"

"does a creature that is touched by demon's shards having an intelligent?"

"I've never meet one, but based on the rumors there are several creatures like that"

"that would make a sense then"

-whup- Another tail's whip launched by the Aolyn. This far, Chanotte couldn't go to offensive. For a beast with a big body, it moved really fast.

".....it doesn't do the same pattern..i can't believe it. This creature has more battle experience than any regular soldiers in the capital.."

Even when he used his skill, the Aolyn's attack still felt quite heavy when he blocked it. If it's a regular soldier, they already got some serious damage just from one attack of the Aolyn.

"it can't be helped.... let's try something else"

He moved back quite far to give a distance between them. The Aolyn didn't chased him, only observed him.

Chanotte threw his great sword on the ground. He did some stretching and took a breath.

"what's that man thinking...is he mad savior?"

"just watched him Ragha, that's not the eyes of the mad man, it's quite the opposite in fact"

[IMPERIAL FORTRESS]

His body covered in a bright golden aura. This skill gave effect to his physical defense. This was the highest tier skill of [FORTRESS], it made someone's body as hard as steel for two minutes.

"here i go"

-dhaar- He dashes with an incredible speed. Just in a blink of eye, he already got so close with his opponent.

-whuuum-

-dziig-

A direct hit with its claw to the right side of his body. But he kept pushing forward, the damage was not taken at all.

The Aolyn felt confused for a moment, but it continued to attack its opponent with another claw's attack.

-dziig-

Another clean strike to its opponent's body. It was really sure this was gonna stop him for sure. Yet, he kept coming and already in front of its head.

"-fuuh- the shredder of silent..."

[OMINOUS WAVES]

-whiiing-

From his palm, a black wave aura spread through the entire of Aolyn's body. After a few seconds, Chanotte pulled his hand and took a few steps to the back.

"....seems it's work"

-bruugh-

The ground was termbling by the impact of Aolyn's weight. It's lying and not moving on the ground.

"....he even can defeat Aolyn just like that. Sir Yana, did we really win against this man?" Shanti questioned their winning

"ahaha, of course Shanti. The one who has more information will always win"

Chanotte walked and approached them. He picked his great sword and ready to continue their way to Bar'laghine.

"should we go now?"

"Shanti, Ragha, should we go now?"

"no problem sir Yana"

".....just let me ask him a question, savior"

"sure"

"what's it?"

"...do you use all your power to defeat that beast?"

"I don't think so. maybe around 40% of my power. Why do you ask?"

"....so you've killed my father with more power than this , right?"

"yes, i believed so"

"i see, so you're really mean it"

"? i don't get it"

"-kkgghh- it's nothing. Let's continue our way"

"hey Yana, is all of the Half-beast complicated like this one?"

Yana looked at Shanti. She only responded with clueless face.

"ahaha, i think so"

After made sure they got enough rest, they continued their way to the Bar'laghine.
