Chapter 199: Surrender
[2nd Circle - Frostbolt]. *Bam* Before the Frostbolt hits Jayna's body, a bluish barrier envelopes Jayna and withstands the Frostbolt. Then, the mana barrier cracked into pieces. Still, the force makes Jayna thrown back a few meters away.
Ice Maiden uses this opportunity to shoot more Frostbolt towards Jayna. However, Jayna also counterattacks using her own Firebolts. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*
The Firebolt couldn't completely diminish the Frostbolt, but it could slow down its momentum and trajectory, giving Jayna a chance to dodge them and stabilize herself.
*Crack* *Crack* *Crack* a cracking sound is heard from the surrounding Ice Maiden [Frost Armor].
Currently, Ice Maiden wears enchanting bluish armor made of ice and swings her frozen staff all around. Each of her swings is gathering more ice elemental on her staff. Not only that, all the surrounding area's temperatures begin to drop at a fast rate.
"Surrender!! You already have no way to win." said Ice Maiden coldly.
"Hmph.. In your dream!!" said Jayna.
"What a pity." said Ice Maiden while waving her bluish staff towards Jayna's direction.
Then, suddenly a chilling gust of wind immediately envelops the whole arena along with the swing of Ice Maiden staff.
Combined with all the mist nearby, the entire area surrounding Jayna instantly freeze into ice along with her despite her burning fire armor. *Whoss* Not even Jayna's mana barrier managed to activate and prevent such a devastating attack.
"Huff.. Huff…" as Ice Maiden having a rough breath after using such a large scale move.
*Crack* *Crack* At this moment, a crimson red color envelops Jayna and cracks the ice that freezes her [Sacred Fire]. *Blaar* The ice that envelopes Jayna completely melted and shattered along with the surrounding area. Even the stone platform below her starts to melt.
Opening her eyes, Jayna's eyes change into crimson sharp bird eyes then she brandishes her sword towards Ice Maiden [Sword Art - Fiery Wave]. A blazing hot wave comes towards Ice Maiden.
Ice Maiden immediately reacts towards such a devastating attack. She gathered all her remaining mana on her staff and slammed it on the ground [Ancient Power - Absolute Zero]. *BOMM*
The surrounding area beside Ice Maiden is completely burned and melted. Only the area behind Ice Maiden and herself remained intact. Still, her current situation also is not good. She already exhausted all her mana just to defend herself from Jayna's last attack.
Looking at the surrounding melted area, "Such a strong attack!!"? muttered Ice Maiden while looking at Jayna, who is in a rough breath.
"Ha..You even.. Haa... defend against my last resort. Alright, Huft..? I surrender." said Jayna dejectedly while in a rough breath.
Hearing this, Ice Maiden couldn't believe herself. According to her investigation, Jayna should be a very proud girl and will never surrender easily.
"Why??" asked Ice Maiden in confusion.
"I already used all my mana and stamina. I could even barely stay conscious. Besides, any more than this, my protective boyfriend will definitely kill you." said Jayna while looking at the outer arena where Angus stands with an expressionless face.
Although Angus is expressionless, everyone could feel a thick killing intent coming from Angus. Noticing Jayna's glaring, Angus decides to take a deep breath and calm his mind. Lately, he notices that he has become more out of control regarding Jayna's matter.
After getting the blessing from the Forgotten King, his obsession towards Jayna has become stronger to the point he could hardly control it. He didn't know it would be good or bad for him, but he also realized that he cares and loves Jayna deeply.
So, seeing Jayna getting hurt is like stepping on Angus's tail, especially if the one that hurt is an unknown person like Ice Maiden.
If it is not because of the arena barrier, Angus already comes towards Ice Maiden and beats the crap out of the masked girl for freezing his girlfriend.
As Jayna surrenders, the arena barrier also comes down, and the referee announces Ice Maiden win along with the cheers from the audience. Angus immediately appears beside Jayna using [Beast Walk] and supports her.
He knows that Jayna gives her all in her last attack. It is already a miracle she could stay conscious after doing it.
Being supported by Angus, "Angus.. I.." said Jayna.
"Hush… You are doing a good job. That's a splendid match." said Angus while putting his finger on Jayna's lips.
"Anyway, let's get back first. You need to have a rest." added Angus.
After paying the compensation to the arena staff, they both decide to go back to the camp. Both of them get out of the arena while refusing the healing service from the battle arena.
The battle arena also offers a healing service with price. However, this service is costly. In some cases, its price is almost the same as the compensation for losing the match.
This is also why Jayna didn't want to use the healing service when she got hurt in the previous match.
Jayna also didn't receive any significant damage in this match, and her good to go from the battlefield arena. Furthermore, the final match will only start tomorrow. So, they didn't have any business in the battlefield arena.
Going out of the arena, Angus and Jayna found that their uncle Jade and the others were already waiting for them outside.
"Lady Jayna, how is your body?" asked the clan head Jade.
"It's okay. I just feel tired." replied Jayna.
"Then, let's go back already." said the clan head Jade.
Soon, they arrive at the Sur Village camp without any trouble. Then, Angus drags Jayna to his own tent and makes her lay comfortably in the bed in his embrace. After the incident in the inner area, Angus feels reluctant to separate from Jayna, even during their sleeping time.
As for Jayna, she is also happy that her boyfriend is taking a step in their relationship. During their relationship, Jayna notices that Angus is quite a passive person and likes to tease her but never takes a step.
Furthermore, Angus could control his emotions really well and make Jayna hardly understand his thoughts. If It is not because of her [Arctic Heart] skill, she may not know that Angus is genuinely caring and loves her.
However, all of this is in the past. Now, Angus becomes much more proactive ever since they arrive in this dimension. Some part of it because of the dangerous situation they got in that made them become closer and intimate.
Being in the embrace of each other, Angus and Jayna soon rest and sleep for a few hours comfortably. Then, Angus wakes up and leaves Jayna, who is still sleeping reluctantly.
Although he doesn't want to leave his loving girlfriend, Angus has an appointment with his uncle to continue the medication. During these past days, his instinct is telling him something bad will happen soon.
So, Angus decides to prepare for everything and increase his uncle's strength, even if it is a little bit.
Caressing Jayna's cheek, "Wait here, I will be back soon." said Angus while kissing her forehead.
Then, Angus goes towards the clan head Jade's tent. Arriving at the clan head Jade, Angus found that there were few people inside Jade's tent. Seeing it was Angus, the guard outside let him enter the tent without stopping him.
The moment Angus enters, "Are you sure about this?" asked Jade towards Abet, who was in front of him.
Abet didn't reply and looked towards Angus, then looked back towards the clan head Jade.
Seeing this, "It's okay. He should know about this matter." said Clan Head Jade.
Then, Abet begins to narrate his story once more in more detail. Apparently, Abet, the Sur village's guard leader, decided to observe the other four villages. He feels that the other four villages are too quiet than they should be.
Furthermore, they even give up a few huge transactions and give them to Sur Village. Even a fool will notice there is something wrong with this. So, Abet decides to spy on the other village's camp for the last few days.
At first, Abet didn't find anything unusual. However, soon using his keen sense, he notices that few high-grade people are missing from their camp. They didn't even come back for the last few days.
Normally, the other village's camp will be in chaos since a high-grade combatant is very precious towards the village. On the contrary, Abet found that the other village is completely fine, like not seeing that few of their high-grade combatants are missing.
Seeing the reaction of the other villages, Abet became suspicious about this. Even if the high-grade combatant decided to go home early, it is still too much of a coincidence for them to do it simultaneously.
Feeling that the other four villages are starting to work together, Abet and his men decide to do more through observation.
They didn't find any lead for a few days until they found that each of these villages purchased many slaves at once and sent them out to the Ancestral Ruin rather than towards their camp.
Abet sends his trustworthy and skilled men to spy where they are sent to. After a day of spying, the spy found that they were actually sent to the desert near the Sur Village return path.
