Chapter 187: Hand-to-hand

"You are really shameless enough, a warrior who has been in the Holy Order for many years actually attacked a teenager, and it was in the form of a sneak attack. Even if you don't have a face, at least take care of our family's face!" Vivien said angrily, pointing at Pike.

"Haha, eldest lady, you're laughing. My Pike has always done this way, and I never change because my goals are different, which is already known in the imperial capital. But the Duke is still willing to accept me, which shows that he will not take this as a disgrace. Hearing Vivien's accusation, Pike said indifferently.

"Vivien, take care to protect yourself for a moment. Ares glanced at the dent that Pike had just left on his gauntlet, drew his broadsword from his back, and told Vivien.

"What do you want to do, Ares? You don't want to fight him, you can't beat him, this guy is very annoying, but he is really strong. Seeing this, Vivien gently tugged on Ares' arm and persuaded her.

"Hehe, the kid has a big temper. In that case just now, although you have the protection of the eldest lady's magic shield, you can block my blow at your age, and you can be regarded as a genius. And I like to play against geniuses the most, because they always surprise me and make the fight not so boring. Pike said as he stared at Ares and moved his hands excitedly.

"Ares, don't fight him, you go quickly, I'll find a way to hold him back. Vivien whispered.

"Keep a safe distance for a while, he's very strong, and I may not care about you when I fight. As if he hadn't heard Vivien's words, Ares gently patted Vivien's hand holding his arm, and told himself.

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Vivien snorted softly, blushing and withdrawing her hand. But he still listened to Ares and stepped back a little distance.

At this time, Ares had no other thoughts in his mind, just thinking about how to deal with the enemy in front of him. After all the things that had happened before, Ares did react a little aggressively when faced with the attack. After Vivien retreated, she attacked Pike with her greatsword in hand.

"I warn you, Pike, that Ares is my friend, if you dare to hurt him. When I get back, I will go to my father and sue you. Seeing the two fighting, Vivien couldn't help but shout at Pike.

"Miss Vivien, why are you talking stupidly again, why did your father send me, don't you understand it at all?" Pike chuckled in response to Vivien's attack.

"You... Vivien was a little speechless by Pike's words, but from the moment she saw Pike, she knew her father's intentions, so she tried to convince Ares to escape. But for some reason, Ares was so enchanted that he couldn't listen to her at all.

"Uh... Just as Vivien was struggling with what to do, a muffled snort from Pike was heard. She quickly looked over and saw that Pike was holding his neck and stepping aside, looking at Ares in astonishment, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"It's kind of interesting, so I underestimated you. You are actually a genius of this level, although I was distracted just now, but you can seize the opportunity, it is really good. It's a pity that the attack is a bit light, otherwise the battle might have ended. Pike licked the blood on his hands and said to Ares with an excited expression.

Ares frowned slightly, but without answering Pike's words, he flicked his sword and began to attack again.

"Well done, Ares!" Vivien called out in surprise.

"Pike, do you see, Ares is no ordinary genius. When I show him to my father, Ares will be my future husband. You can think clearly about my father's attitude towards you if you accidentally hurt this future super genius of the family. Vivien saw that her words had an effect, and she wanted to divide Pike's heart through words, and her mind was so hot that she didn't even know what she was saying.

Although the folk customs of the Tancente Empire are relatively unrestrained in this Shining Gold Continent. But Vivien's blunt words are still a bit shocking. But her words did work, and Pike was distracted once more.

This time, however, Ares did not achieve anything. Because he was also stunned by Vivien's words.

The two who were hit at the same time, after a pause, stopped attacking, each retreated, and turned to look at Vivien.

"Ahh

"Now that the distractions are gone, I can finally have a good time, and you must not let me down. Seeing Vivien run away, Pike licked his lips and said to Ares. It sounded like an uncle next door inviting you to play a game, but the bloodthirsty glint in his eyes betrayed his true intentions.

Ares glanced worriedly in the direction Vivien had left, retracting his gaze, still not responding to Pike's words. He just raised his sword and made a defensive stance, staring at Pike in a tight stance.

"Hey, good, good. This time, I'm going to attack. Seeing this, Pike smirked and struck with a fist.

It was the first time Ares had fought someone with gloves as a weapon, although Uncle Sanos had fought him empty-handed. But compared to this moment, it is completely different, even if Uncle Sanos is empty-handed, his moves are still wide open and closed, and the feeling is no different from holding a big sword. But Pike is different, his fists are very tricky, his attacks are much faster than even those of an assassin with a dagger, and he is more agile.

Just after a short contact, Ares understood that he must not let him get close to this kind of attack, otherwise he would most likely be defeated in an instant. So in the face of Pike's attack, Ares did not choose to hard-connect, but directly used tricks to fight with Pike.

"Not bad, not bad. I'm so surprised that you have such a high level of fighting talent. I didn't expect such an accident to occur in a mission that I thought would be boring, and I was so excited. I can't remember how many years, I haven't played with a genius of your level. As a sign of respect, I'm going to come up with something interesting to show you what the real Holy Order is. With your talent, you must have won a lot of garbage known as the Holy Order before. After fighting against Ares for a while, Pike realized his tactical intentions, and he didn't bother with it, just stopped, looked at Ares, and said appreciatively.
