Chapter 45 Regained Honor (1/2)
Hausen city was finally free of monsters. At least, in a bit…
The skeletons on the southern, eastern, and northern parts of the city were already under control. Which left us with the western area. We were in the midst of battle to retake that part.
Aaron and I had hunted over 1000 skeletons up to now, so the accumulated aggro was really high.
I had never hunted monsters continuously without breaks before this, so this could be regarded as unknown territory for me.
[Aaron, the skeletons are swarming on us like ants finding sugar.]
[Normally, doing continuously hunting like this is dangerous and should never be done. However, it’s not much of a trouble with you around.]
Aaron’s holy sword was infused with Holy Attribute; I could tell from how he easily hacked through 5 skeletons who were coming at him. Un, I don’t think that my presence here was needed if at all….it’s that kind of fight.
He was truly on fire.
Since we defeated Lich Lord, it’s been a non-stop 15 hour hunting without any breaks or sleep. No, judging with how it’s already twilight here, I guess it’s been 18 hours? We were hunting skeletons to the point that we were no longer aware about the passage of time. If I went to sleep now, I’m pretty sure I’ll have a dream about skeletons. Other than that, I’m also slightly worried that the Gluttony skill will flare up again.
[Fate, it will be over once we defeated these skeletons. Can you still go on?]

[Of course]
I switched my sword into bow, and rained down a hail of arrows. Of course, all of them were petrification magic arrows.
I feel like I’m progressing fast in terms of handling the magic bow from this fight. It’s clear that the foundation that Aaron had taught me was the cause of this improvement..
In addition to that, there was someone acting as a role model fighting in front of me. I wondered myself if watching him fight could be counted as practice. Let’s try imitating how Aaron did it.
While twisting, jumping, and stirring my body around, I kept releasing arrows into the air. Since I’m using Greed, all I need is to aim a little, and the arrows will correct itself and pierce the target skeleton’s head.

Wow, this is really useful. I realized something whilst hearing the inorganic voice.
How to fight while avoiding enemy’s attack simultaneously. Up to now my brain had been processing attacking and evading attack separately, but apparently it’s possible to do it at the same time. You do start to understand new things while fighting alongside Aaron.
Since this will be the last time, I’ll burn Aaron’s fighting style into my mind. How he launched an attack without wasted movements. To what extent he was aware of the surrounding enemies while fighting.

Whilst continue to fight my own way, I tried to imitate Aaron’s style bit by bit.
After separating with Aaron, I’ll have to continue developing my fighting style on my own. The way Greed is now, he’s unable to show me any battle technique. And with Myne’s personality, I doubt that she’ll ever teach me how to be a proper warrior.
So most likely than not, Aaron is my first and last teacher.
[I’ve taken care of all the skeleton archers. Once we’re done with the skeleton knights, it will be over.]
[Indeed… to assist me for such a long time…you have my gratitude. Thank you.]
Aaron gave me a side glance and smirk, all the while activating 《Grand Cross》with his holy sword.
[Now, this is the end.]
The holy light emerged from the engraving on the ground, engulfing the remaining skeleton knights. The magical power was more than sufficient to purify the undeads. When the light finally subsided, the city became serene and soundless place. The only sources of light were the stars in the sky.
[To think it’s night time already. I’m sorry for delaying your departure.]

[No, I’ve been learning a lot from this outing. Thank you very much!]
[Hahaha, I actually had no intention to teach you this much. But it must be destiny. I have nothing left to teach you.]
[Eeeee, isn’t this too fast?!]
To my surprise, Aaron actually gave me a reminder.
[When it comes to swordsmanship, no matter how many shapes it has taken, it’ll be of no use. Unless you can sublimate yourself in it, understand it. Fate took in the foundation I taught you more than I can imagine, I’ve showed you enough.]
[I still have much to learn…. At least I know how to fight properly.]
I never thought that swordsmanship was actually something like that. Somehow, I felt like I just achieved a sudden breakthrough.
He put his hand on my head, and said with a gentle look.
[No, it’s enough. Your weapon can switch its form freely. Thus, learning only swordsmanship will make you unbalanced. I want to avoid that. That’s why you should wield it as you want it. One day, I believe that you’ll definitely find your very own fighting style that suits you the most.]

Right…..that’s very true. At the moment, Greed has unlocked three form: sword, bow, and scythe. More forms will eventually unlocked in the future. That’s why sticking to only 1 weapon discipline will be a wrong move.
My very own style that I have to pursue,
[Do you mean that I have to integrate all these weapons into one style?]
[That’s it. I cannot teach you that of course. After all, I’m just a simple swordsman so all I know is swordsmanship.]
Aaron took off his hand from my hand after saying so.
Having met and fought alongside him, I came to understand that the path in front of me was a far one. Well, that’s because Greed was such an exceptional weapon, but let’s not tell him that. Because he’ll just get on my nerves.
『Did you call?』
[….I didn’t!]
