Chapter 552 Ruthless Attack
Chapter 552 Ruthless Attack
"Urggyyaa!!" yelled Angus as he used all his strength to pull up his body, climbing to the next stone level.
After struggling for a few minutes, Angus could finally climb the next stone slabs and roll around the ground to avoid falling back down. As soon as he succeeded in climbing up, Angus lay on the floor while catching up his breath.
Despite his high endurance and regeneration, he feels dead tired from this small climbing. Now, he just wants to fall asleep and completely rest his body and mind. During this time, he didn't notice that he no longer felt any pressure around his body.
He also didn't notice the surrounding area was completely covered with thick mist. Angus is too tired to see all this change. After another few minutes to calm down and catch his breath, Angus suddenly heard a soft whisper inside the mist.
*Whisper* *Whisper* He wakes up from his spot and notices the change in the surroundings. Using his detection skill, he knows he is entering a unique area. All he could see was a vast empty stony area covered by mist.
"This place… a domain?!!" said Angus as he felt something.
"Get out! Get out!" a repeated whispering sound was heard from the surrounding.
Knowing this is an unknown domain and the eerie feeling, Angus immediately takes out his Twin sword artifact, ready to defend himself.
"Get out!!" a sharp whispering sound was heard behind him.
Just as Angus looked back, his instinct sharply warned him. In a split moment, he swung his swords in another direction without looking. *Clang* Angus threw a few meters away with a trembling hand.
"*Cough* *Cough* N-No way. This technique!!" muttered Angus while coughing blood.
At this moment, he feels an attack from his side. Once again, Angus parried the attack while getting thrown a few meters away. Same as before, his hands got numb and trembling from the attack force while received a severe internal injury.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see the attacker's figure as he went into the thick mist after launching his attack. Angus didn't think anything and decided to take this fight seriously. Taking a deep breath, he closes his eyes and focuses on his surroundings.
After a moment, he feels something not far from him. He opens his eyes to find a humanoid figure twice bigger than his size staring at him with dreadful red eyes. Angus couldn't clearly see his figure as the surrounding mist covered the other body.
Without saying anything, the figure charged at Angus and brandished a sword at him. Surprised at his opponent's speed, Angus decides to parry the attack. *Clang* Not wanting to give Angus a breath, the red-eyed figure launched another attack.
*Clang* *Clang* *Clang* Each time, Angus barely parries the strong attack while his defense posture slowly gets broken. After another few attacks, Angus' hands no longer obeyed him and he kneeled on the ground with a severe internal wound.
If he didn't have a ridiculous healing rate, he might die the first time he receives the attack. Still, Angus wasn't afraid and kept his calm despite his loss. During the few clashes, he knows the other party didn't intend to kill him and he could somewhat guess what was happening.
"You are too early." said Angus' opponent with a hoarse voice while kicking him away.
As Angus gets kicked in a kneeling position, he finds himself falling to the previous stone slabs. *Bam* *Cough* *Cough* Groaned Angus in pain while coughing blood. His internal wound got more serious from the impact. He feels like all his internal organs burst in various places.
"Angus!!" called Jayna in worry.
Unfortunately, Jayna couldn't approach him despite all her struggle.
"*Cough* *Cough* Don't worry, I am okay. I just.. *cough* need a little rest." said Angus.
Still, Jayna couldn't calm down as she noticed Angus' horrible situation. His body is covered in blood while his body is shambles like a broken mutilated doll. Knowing Jayna is still worried, Angus slowly crawls toward her to ease her worry.
"Stop, what are you doing?!" asked Jayna in panic.
*cough* *cough* Angus didn't reply but slowly crawled to Jayna with determined eyes. The couple completely forgets that a certain Ancestor Vampire is nearby them and is watching the couple's lovely drama.
Still, Darren also didn't plan to help Angus. Despite the horrible injury, he knows Angus has supernatural healing capability that rivals pureblood vampires. Moreover, he needs to use spells to heal Angus' current wound, making him the monument pressure target.
Unlike Angus and Jayna, whose bodies adapted to the pressure by climbing from below, Darren's body still has not gotten used to the massive pressure. The moment he receives the pressure, he will be like a fly that gets clapped by two giant hands.
Although he will not die from it, he will still get seriously injured, which he doesn't want to experience. After a while, Angus finally arrives at Jayna's spot and rests his head on Jayna's lap.
The couple didn't say anything while Jayna kept crying in a mess. As soon as Angus gets near her, she does something she has never done before. She uses her phoenix fire to help heal Angus' wound.
As a phoenix, Fire Phoenix can heal others, but it is not her specialty like her other sisters. Fire Phoenix's main power is combat and destruction. The most she could do was burn impurities or poison.
Therefore, Jayna never tries to heal others for fear of burning them to death rather than healing them. Still, her worry makes her bolder, and she tries to heal Angus.
As for Angus, he didn't mind it since he trusted Jayna. He also knows he needs a day or more before fully recovering from his current injury. As an expert combatant, he knows the danger of internal wounds.
Angus may only have taken his personal training seriously once they entered Endless Battlefield. However, he still focuses on strengthening his internal organs since his childhood.
Combined with his high endurance, his internal organ is almost as sturdy as his muscle or skin. Yet, he is still bleeding to death from humanoid red-eyed figures.
After [Analyze] it while crawling towards Jayna, he finds the red-eyed figures manipulating his mana to become so destructive and wild like chi. Hence, Angus wasn't surprised if all his attacks could penetrate all his defense and high endurance.
For Angus, it is like getting hit by a missile or rocket at point-blank range. No matter his technique and skill, his defense will crumble under such a ruthless attack.
"Angus… *Sob* *Sob* What happened?!" asked Jayna as she noticed she could hardly heal Angus.
"Huff.. I meet a strange humanoid figure twice my body size but more agile, nimble, and stronger than me. The worst thing is his perfect mana control, which somehow turns wild and destructive like a chi."
"Even if I manage to parry his attack, I will never be able to defend against this destructive mana completely. It is a ruthless technique, especially towards those with lower mana density, " Angus said with a smile.
"Why are you smiling and feeling proud?" asked Jayna in confusion.
"That's because it is one of my best techniques. Even I couldn't completely defend against it. Haha.. *cough* *cough*" laughed Angus before coughing another blood.
"Dumbass!! Don't laugh first! It will worsen your injury. Also, how did this person know about your best technique?" rebuked Jayna at her boyfriend's antic.
"I am not sure either. But, if I am not wrong, that person should be some kind of manifestation from me. Otherwise, he will kill me instead of injuring me like this." said Angus.
'His aura reminds me of my past. Did I look like that in the past? Damn, no wonder everyone fears me.' thought Angus inwardly.
"Fine. You are not going back there, right?" asked Jayna with worry.
"Nope. He said I was too early before kicking me out. What a prick?! Can't he just send me off without beating me down." grumbled Angus.
Jayna didn't comment on his remark and only giggled at her love. *Flash* At this moment, the couple notices a flash of light from the side.
They find Mira and Anna on the flying pillow. In Mira's hand, a square box suddenly prints a small piece of paper. The couple could see their photo in the paper with the beautiful sunset in the background.
"Nice. Collection." muttered Mira after examining the photo before hiding it away.
"Woahh… That's beautiful. Angus and Big sis look like they are going to mate anytime." commented Anna.
"Anna!!" yelled Jayna while in blush.
Although they never hid their relationship, they never showed anything to the public about their affection. Now, they get caught red-handed by Mira, Anna, and Darren. She feels deathly embarrassed. Seeing the embarrassed Jayna, Angus decides to tease her more.
"Jayna, I am too tired. I am sleeping for a moment." said Angus before moving his head to the side of her private part area.
Noticing Angus' gesture, Jayna couldn't help but feel conscious about her inner area and getting more blushed like a baked tomato.
"Ehh… Why is Big sis turning red? Did Big sis get sick like Anna before?" asked Anna innocently while approaching the couple.
