Even though Aries held a sword, that didn't mean he was a real warrior like outsiders. He could only swing his blade and rely on magic that boosted his physical power.
There were no skills or techniques —that was a problem for him. But for Aries, that enhancement magic had already helped him a lot in this fight.
He charged at Ethan, and Ethan quickly raised his sword to block the incoming slash. The two blades clashed, and the impact released a wave of powerful energy.
Ethan managed to hold his ground without being pushed back, which drew everyone's attention to him.
Aries tried to kick Ethan away, but Ethan reacted fast —he caught Aries's leg and threw him backward with raw strength.
Instead of Ethan being pushed away, Aries was the one who got tossed through the air. The old man was shocked, speechless.
Not just him —most of the villagers gasped when they saw Aries hurled far away. Ethan narrowed his eyes, keeping his focus on Aries still flying through the air.
