------------------------------------------
Arthur ignored Edward. He knew the more he talked with Edward, the angrier he got. He just had to stay away from Edward in the future.
Edward smiled a little towards his reaction. He did not waste more time and started changing. He decided to use light armor with the spear in this competition. Yeah, it might be unsuitable against all those heavy armors, but Edward would depend on his agility and dodging ability to fight in this messy situation.
Soon, the melee fight began, with over forty knights and few squires who wanted to make a name for themselves.
The speaker introduced the contestants but concentrated on the main players in this fight. Those with titles shined the most. The speaker introduced Arthur as the sword of the morning and Barristan as Barristan the bold. When it came to Edward, the speaker spoke enthusiastically. Edward was the one who was paying him, after all. He introduced him as the mighty stag and the golden spear.
Edward smiled after seeing all this. It would be a real challenge for him as he had to face all those people while protecting his back. He moved with his elastic steel spear in his hand towards the round area. All the other participants followed him, ready for the big fight.
Edward looked at his brother Robert, Arthur Dayne, Barristan, Edward's deputy Clinn, and the other two.
"Let's defeat the others first before we had our fight. I want to have a one-on-one fight with all of you with the other's interference."
"Aye, we will have our fight after smashing those shit's head." Said Robert while nodding his head. He only participated in this competition to defeat his brother and did not care about the rest.
"A good idea." Agreed, Ser Barristan, as he had not witnessed Edward's strength since they save the king.
"Good." Said, Arthur. No one wanted to kick Edward's ass more than him at the moment, and he would not allow anyone to interfere.
"It had been some time since we had a good fight, my lord." Said Clinn while smiling. It had been a while indeed since he had fought with any of his eight commanders.
The other two agreed, and the rest shifted their heads toward the other contestants.
Edward ignored the rest and took some steps to fight the first opponent. He used his spear magnifically. It was as if the spear angled to make full curves while Edward was dodging left and right.
Edward was literally jumping from a place to another. With his light armor and marvelous spear arts, he was defeating an opponent after the other.
Edward kept track of the rest. When he saw Robert smashing his opponents with his hammer and Arthur hacking them with his sword, he looked back to regain his focus. He went to find another opponent.
As there were many, Edward would thrust his spear while dodging a sword attack. He would attack the weakness of those knights. Edward would attack the legs, the wrists, and the head. He was not an idiot to go for their fortified heavy armors. He would hear an agonizing scream every time he attacked with his spear.
It did not take long before only seven remained. Arthur Dayne, Barristan Selmy, Robert Baratheon, Edward Baratheon, Jon Clinn, Jeffry Frog, and Benjamin Mineclaw.
But Benjamin had a cut on the side of his leg and had to quit. He did not want to risk any more injury. That was what Edward always told them.
After Benjamin left the field, the rest divided themselves as everyone chose his opponent. Edward would fight Robert. Barristan would fight Clinn while Arthur would fight Jeffry.
Edward knew that Jon and Jeffry wanted to fight the famous two, so he did not mind and decided to fight Robert first. Everyone started fighting at once while Edward looked at Robert.
"Here's your chance, Robert. Let's see what you got." Said Edward with a smile. Robert's level at the moment should be neer his peak from the show when he defeated Rhaegar. That was why Edward was excited to fight him.
"This time is my win." Said Robert as he started to attack Edward with his hammer.
But in front of the long spear and Edward's movements, Robert could not even touch him but instead had to stay on the defending side. Edward wanted to finish this fight as fast as possible as he had to save some energy for the next battles, but he had to take it seriously. Robert was now the great warrior that could end the Targaryen Dynasty.
While Edward was dodging Robert's attack and attacking him with his spear, Robert launched a mad attack that made Edward slip. Robert wanted to take the chance and attack Edward at once, but Edward managed to dodge his hammer while using his spear's rod to attack Robert's wrist.
After giving Robert his chance, Edward increased his power output and attack speed. He decided to attack Robert with everything he got. He could not take it easy anymore. Robert could only defend himself and depend on his armor to take some of the attacks.
After a few minutes, Edward decided to end it by attacking Robert's leg, and he managed to cut his right leg's side. Edward did not wait for Robert to balance himself and attacked the back of Robert's hand that he used to hold the hammer, making the hammer fell down.
Seeing Edward's spear pointing to his head, Robert grumbled. He was feeling hopeless at the moment. After all the training that he had, he still could not beat Edward. What was the point in all his training then?
'Why am I still losing? I trained day and night for this moment, but I still lost. This is shit, man. I need to fuck some whore.' Thought Robert as he was looking at his brother's spear.
"You did well. You are much better than before." Said Edward as he shifted his eyes towards the other's fight. That was all he would say. He was not confronting Robert or something. He was only giving his honest opinion. Robert nearly got him there, so Edward had to at least say that to him. Edward was not going to fight him again soon anyway.
Robert looked at his brother's back as he felt different emotions at the moment. He was angry at himself for losing and disappointed at the same time. He could only shake his head and go.
