Chapter 1059: Count Orleans: You are the challenger
“Hmph…”
Aiwass laughed softly when he heard this: "You really don't know him?"
His pupils were a different color than Louis's—Louis's were closer to the dark red of venous blood, while Aiwass's were closer to the bright red of arterial blood.
"I don't know your name...but I know your face."
The Count said word by word: "People from the Vendôme family - why are you looking for trouble with me?
"They killed my relatives, slaughtered my slaves, destroyed my property... and even killed my young son.
"—Can I assume that this is the Duke of Vendôme's declaration of war against the entire Moonchild tribe?"
Without a doubt.
That's a question that can make anyone choke and retreat.
The tribe of Moon Children...this isn't just in Iris.
Today, the Moon Children have already blossomed everywhere. According to the idea that the Moon Children will only corrupt the rich and powerful, the cohesion when they unite around the core interests of race will be terrifying and crazy.
Not to mention, the Moon's Sons have far too many high-ranking Transcendents... A single country only has a few dozen or even a hundred Level 4 Transcendents, making them an extremely valuable "Level 5 talent pool." But as long as a Moon's Son lives long enough, he or she can basically reach Level 4. And this longevity comes at no cost to the Moon's Sons.
If the confrontation is carried out on a national basis, the Sons of the Moon who now have no homeland would probably have no choice but to flee; but no human family can withstand the crazy revenge of all the Sons of the Moon.
This is the truest example of “beat the young ones and the old ones will come.”
Hearing this, Yasen suddenly looked at Aiwass.
Aiwass felt the gaze and looked back at Yasen.
This time, Aiwas unexpectedly did not feel any hesitation, timidity, confusion or uneasiness in Yasen's eyes.
Instead, I felt determination, urging, and... a hint of anticipation.
It's not about trying to stop a fight or backing down.
Instead, it is silently saying - although I have no say in this matter, I will support all your choices.
Although Yasen didn't go to school much, he didn't receive much education and didn't have much culture.
But when it comes to the big issues, he's surprisingly reliable—not only principled, but also intelligent. After all, he's also a level in the Path of Balance. It's not high, and he hasn't read much, so he always seems like a fool around with Aiwass and Sherlock... But the fact that he can devise so many elaborate thefts without getting caught shows that he still has some brains.
He didn't know how strong Aiwass was, because Aiwass had never fought seriously in front of him; he also didn't know how terrifying the Son of the Moon was, and what the position of the Vendôme family would be.
But he knew that if he made this choice, he would not be wrong.
All he had to do was stand next to Aiwass—that level of intelligence was enough.
Aiwass raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked back at the Count of Orleans.
He responded with a brief but firm one-word response: "Of course."
After Aiwass said this, he continued to move forward.
——Within the influence of the Empty Box, elegance and beauty will be strong criteria for judgment.
This is also the reason why Count Orleans dared to appear alone in front of such a powerful Sherlock and wanted to fight three people at once.
Because fighting three at the same time is cool!
Under normal circumstances, bringing some subordinates and helpers with you will definitely be beneficial in battle.
Even if they can't deal effective damage, the control and threat they provide will still have an impact on the opponent. As a last resort, they can also use their blood to cast blood spells, turning them into their own batteries and blood packs. This is also why the Moon Children become stronger when they gather together - weaker Moon Children can be used as consumables to instantly enhance the strength of stronger Moon Children.
After all, as long as they get blood afterwards, the Moon Child can be resurrected. Even sacrificing one's own life is not unacceptable.
——But the Count of Orleans knew that it was impossible to fight like this here.
Because that would reduce the "momentum"!
And within the influence range of the Box of Nothingness, momentum takes priority even over energy level!
Although Count Orleans had no system and it was impossible for him to clearly know the specific effects and rules of the Void Box... but after using and testing it alone for such a long time, even if he was a pig, he should be able to understand some of the rules and techniques.
Gaston was easily pierced and killed by Aiwass's magic bullet because he didn't know this rule—to prevent the secret from being leaked, the Count of Orleans even kept it secret from his wife and children. The Empty Chest was a secret that belonged to him alone; everyone else knew only a small part.
It is for this reason that when Gaston became timid and fled, under the stage rules of the Empty Box, he became a "cowardly defeated soldier."
So they were killed instantly. Just like on stage, heroes and fleeing soldiers didn't need any combat interaction, just a couple of moves would make them considered elite, and a casual blow to kill them instantly was the normal rhythm.
So the Count of Orleans was not the least bit timid, but said calmly: "So that's how it is.
"Then you three come together."
"oh?"
Aiwass suddenly laughed: "So bold——"
Instead of summoning the codex, he simply drew a card.
The card shattered in his hand, and the cold winter wind howled.
[Equipment Card: Death of Desolation (Death God)]
[Effect: Summon "Death of Withering Silence" (supernatural weapon - scythe, extremely light, sharp, cold, possesses the supernatural module "Death of Withering Silence")]
[Effect: Use and swing the sickle again, launching nine invisible flying blades. The flying blades automatically lock onto all targets that have been damaged by the wielder.]
[Alien Characteristics: Reverse Blade (It only has a blade on the side facing you)]
[Extraordinary Module - Withered Death: Whenever its damage causes bleeding or limb loss, the attack will instead reduce the opponent's maximum health. This effect is also considered the same as the "Aging Curse" effect of the same name; any creature killed or limbs severed by its damage will be transformed into shattered ice sculptures.]
A simple and ancient black scythe appeared in Aiwas's hand.
The only difference from ordinary things is that... its sickle blade is not made of shiny metal, but transparent ice.
Aiwass swung his knife and said gently, "Do you know what this is?"
At that moment, Count Orleans opened his eyes wide.
——Of course he knew what it was.
That is the companion sickle of the Winter Devil.
The natural enemy of the Moon Child!
But... why is it held in the hands of a Moon Child who also fears it?
——If it was the Moon Child of an iris, I’m afraid I really wouldn’t recognize it.
The Count of Orleans's erudition and vast knowledge now became the source of his restraint of self-confidence.
Seeing him suddenly fall silent, Aiwass chuckled, "It seems we know each other. Then I won't have to waste my breath on it."
"If you don't have much ability, it's best not to speak out of turn. It will only further expose your incompetence and weakness."
"...Don't speak nonsense here, youngster."
The Count of Orleans's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This is my territory - you are the challenger!"
Hearing this, Aiwass suddenly laughed.
"I thought it would take several minutes."
Aiwass relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief: "Looks like we don't have to wait for her.
"Are you going to do it, or should I?"
