Chapter 86 Four Vs One
[Next Day.]
Aaron stood some yards from the soldiers training ground, with hands folded behind him... Aurora, who arrived last night after the whole thing with the god, stood beside him.
"Why are you outside, Mum? It's still 7am." Aaron asked in a calm tone.
Aurora turned to her Son with a smile on her face. "I'm not too old to be in bed... And I missed training."
"So you want to train with the soldiers?" Aaron asked, his gaze fixed on the soldiers training some yards away from their location.
"Yeah... Can I?"
Aurora asked, acting like a child who's asking her father for something she knew he'll refuse.
"Ok, But these guys aren't strong enough to train you."
"Train? Who's training?"
The two looked over their shoulders, seeing Lilly walking towards them, she was in a silver armor, with a long sword in hand.
"It seems someone is prepared." Aaron smiled.
Lilly stopped in front of the two, moving her gaze from Aaron to Aurora.
"Mum said she wants to train with the soldiers." Aaron revealed.
"Really?"
Lilly looked at Aurora in surprised, them turned her head to Aaron, a smirk on her face.
"I like the idea... I'll be joining the training, and we'll be training with Aaron."
Aaron: "Pardon?"
Aurora: "..."
"Why the face? Are you scared we'll defeat you?" Lilly asked, her smirk widening.
"Training with Aaron? I want to join!"
"Me too!"
The three turned their heads to Emily and Protean, who quickly walked towards the three.
'Did they planned this?'
Aaron thought, moving his gaze on the four people in front of him.
"What do you say, Aaron?" Aurora asked.
'Are you kidding me?! She joined the plan!'
Seeing all eyes on him, he sighed helplessly.
"Ok, but I hope you all remember the contest is starting at 10?"
"Yes."
"We know."
They all nodded with smiles on their faces.

The soldiers all stopped training seeing the royal family walking inside the field, all in Armor.
The soldiers were so stunned that they were all speechless.
Egon and John, who were directing the soldiers both looked at one another in confusion, then quickly walked up to Aaron.
"My King, what are you doing here this early?" Egon asked in mild confusion.
"Commander Egon, Can't you see what we're all wearing? We're here to train, nothing else." Lilly said with a smile.
"Train?"
"Yes."
Aaron smiled at Egon and John. He and his family walked past the two, and stood at the center of the field, staring at one another.
"Am I the only one confused?" Egon asked in mild confusion.
"No, I'm also confused... But... The way they're all standing..."
John's eyes widened in shock. "Are they all fighting the King?!"
"It seems so." Egon said in mild disbelieve.
"Where is Lilly? I have been looking all over the place?"
Vince walked towards the training ground, seeing the scene in front of him, he was dumbfounded.
"What's happening?" He asked in mild confusion.
"The Royal family are here to train." A soldier answered him.
In matter of minutes, the news had reached everyone in the Castle. All the maids, workers, and even guards rushed to the training ground, to see the fight.
"Oh, wow! This will be interesting."
Vince said with a smile.

Aaron moved his gaze on the four. "Are you sure about this?"
He asked, looking at the weapons in their hands, Aurora was with her sword. Lilly held her daggers tightly. Protean with armed with a long sword. While Emily was with her daggers.
'Is this a training? Or a death battle? Shouldn't we all be using wooden weapons? Why are they using their blades?'
"I hope we aren't breaking any rules using our weapons?" Emily asked with a smile.
'Breaking rules?! You're murdering the rules and acting Ignorant!!' He yelled inwardly, but smiled at them.
"No. No... You aren't breaking any rules."
He said: 'What can a man do? If I said No, it'll look like I'm scared.'
"Good." Aurora nodded with a smile.
'What?!! Mum! You should be the caring one!!'
"Ok, Are you ready, Baby brother?!" Lilly asked, getting ready to move.
'You called me baby brother, but you're treating me as an elder brother!! Well... I'll have to take this serious.'
Before everyone's eyes, Aaron grew in height, standing 6'2 feet tall.
Everyone's jaw dropped wide opened, seeing the young man standing in front of them.
"I hope you guys aren't scared."
He stretched forth his hand to the side, and pulled out his sword from his spatial space.
"We can do this."
Protean creaked his neck, and shot towards Aaron, appearing In front of him in seconds... He swung his sword sideways at Aaron's Neck.
BAM!
Protean's sword collided with Aaron's sword sheath.
"Is that all?"
Aaron struck out his left hand, his palm accurately collided with Protean's chest.
BANG!!
The three females moved to the side, as Protean flew past them, falling heavily on the ground.
"I'm so excited!"
Lilly shot towards Aaron, Aurora and Emily following behind her.
'Are they doing this because they knew they can't die?!'
Aaron stared at the three charging towards him with a smile.
Whoosh!
Lilly swung her daggers at his legs, which he dodged by leaping back... The moment he landed, Emily appeared in front of him and thrust her daggers to his chest.
He dodged with a sidestep, before he could grab her wrist, she vanished into smoke.
Aaron calmly moved his gaze around, the white smoke obstructing his view.
Whoosh!!
Aurora appeared behind him and swung her sword towards his neck... Aaron bend forward, and send a kick without turning around.... It accurately collided on her chest, throwing her out from the smoke.
Emily and Lilly appeared from both sides, and slashed with their daggers, both aiming at his legs, and abdomen.
He leaped into the air, while the two stopped their attack, standing on his initial spot, and looked up at him.
Their eyes widened, seeing Aaron landing towards them.
BAM!
He landed in between them, Before the two could think, two kicks collided on their faces, they both spurted out blood and flew out from the Smoke.
Aaron moved his gaze around, his sword still in its sheath.
Whoosh!
He turned around, but saw no one.
"....."
Whoosh!!
He looked over his shoulder with a raised eyebrow.
Whoosh!!!
'Only Protean can move with such speed.' He thought, moving his gaze around the place.
Whoosh!
Whzzzzh!
He quickly turned around seeing five long claws heading towards him.
CLANK!!!
He blocked the claws with his sword's sheath, but what shocked him was two more hands with claws heading towards him from the smoke.
BAM!!!
It collided on his chest, Aaron flew backward. Landing on his feet, he looked down at his chest with a small smile on his face.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Nice."
BOOM!!!
A powerful Demonic energy burst out from him, clearing the surrounding smoke... What he saw next made him speechless.
"Protean?" He muttered in mild surprised.
"How do you like me, Master?"
The monster standing in front of him has the body of alpha Undead, but lower body of a snake... Four hands, belonging to four different creatures, whose cores he had absorbed; A skeleton, Ogre, Wraith, and Dark elf... And has the head of the Griffin King.
Not only that, he was standing 10 feet tall.
Aaron blinked in shock.
"I unlocked this skill last night." Protean said with a smile.
'Last night? Wait. Does that mean anytime I increase in strength, Protean gained a skill?'
He nodded with a smile. "Let's see how powerful you're with this form."
Before he could move, the three females landed in front of Protean.
"We attack together." Aurora said.
While the three nodded, and all shot towards Aaron.
The soldiers watched in a daze... Their king's strength had already shocked them enough, and now... Protean got even more powerful with his new look.
'Wow, when will I get as strong aa Aaron?' Vince thought, staring at Aaron, who defended against the four's attacks, and also countering.
BAM!!
Protean's claws connected on Aaron's chest. He moved backward, a smirk on his face.
"How Nice! I think it's time I get serious." Aaron grinned.
"Huh? All this while, was the king playing?" Egon asked in mild horror.
"Let's see." John answered.
They all watched as Aaron held the handle on his sword with his right hand. His right hand holding the sheath.
Seeing his action Emily exclaimed.
"Get Ready! He's going for the final blow!!"
"I'll see about that!"
Protean shot forward with incredible speed.
"Let's assist him!"

The three launched forward, following behind him.
Aaron grinned, and finally moved. He shot forward, destroying the ground behind him.
WHOOSH!!!!!!!!
Protean's and everyone's eyes widened in Horror, as Aaron appeared behind them, sheathing back his sword.
"I thought you guys will be able to block my attack?"
He asked, standing upright.
The four spurted out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed on the ground. Protean turning back to the dark elf appearance.
The soldiers looked at one another in shock, confusion, and Awe... None of them saw Aaron's move, but they knew one thing.
"No one can defend against that attack."
