I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 676 Forced Battle

'Yup, this is a trap. I will fucking beat that red queen!!' cursed Angus inwardly.

"So, how is it? Did you want to back down now? It's okay. We still have not officially made a contract and the deal." said the elf, standing near the stone platform.

Angus frowned a little bit after hearing these words.

"Why did you seem to want to fight me so badly? You seem to be gloating me into fighting you. I don't think I've ever had any business with any elf before." said Angus.

"Hmm… Don't know. Probably I was just angry from that child's remarks before." said the elf with the same smile.

"Hey!! Anna didn't do anything. That puny asslicking stuck-up grass is the one that looks at Big Sis!!" retorted Anna.

Ignoring Anna's words, "Well, how about this? I will tell you everything if you win against me." said the elf.

"Hmm… How about we change the bet? I definitely never bet on Jayna. She is my love and everything. I don't think whatever you have has the same worth as her. It's pretty much a loss for me, especially since you are preparing everything for this fight." said Angus.

"Certainly. A person's value is priceless compared to worldly stuff. So, how about everything I have, even myself. Besides, isn't betting your most precious one on the line more exciting?" said the elf.

'This elf is really crazy. And here I thought only those in seventh grade are the ones with crazy ideas.' thought Angus inwardly.

"Angus burst that asslicker grass… Mmmpphhfft" cheered Anna from the side before getting stopped by Jayna.

Ignoring the excited Anna, "I still refuse to take Jayna as a bet…" said Angus.

"Angus…" called Jayna from the side.

Angus turns his head to Jayna before once again releasing a deep sigh.

"It's okay. I trust you." said Jayna.

"Tch… You are truly bullying me today. Alright, let's end this now." said Angus frustrated.

*BOOOM* An enormous mana covers the entire area. Suddenly, everyone could feel the world turn colder and stop momentarily. This change even surprises Mira and Darren a little bit. Even the excited Anna stops being cheerful and looks at Angus' figure solemnly.

As for the elf, he is also surprised at this strange phenomenon but also smiling excitedly.

"Before we start, please pour your mana into this globe. It will allow me to adjust…" said the elf.

"Just shut up and start already." said Angus coldly while already at the center of the stone platform.

'Fast!! Well, it seems I will just adjust my strength according to the power that he shows.' thought the elf inwardly.

The elf jumped and landed gracefully, not far from Angus' spot. When the elf landed on the stone platform, Angus took out his twin sword artifact and slashed at the elf [Beast Walk] [Twin Sword Art - X-Slash].

*CLANG* *BOOOM* A large metal clashing sound and releases a massive shockwave. In the middle of the clash, Angus and the elf clash with two swords in their hands.

Angus wasn't surprised at the elf's power and continued his flurry attack [Twin Sword Art - Chain Star]. 2x 4x 8x 16x 32x 64x 128x… Each Angus attack becomes twice stronger and faster. Not only Angus' attack is very domineering, the elf feels like he is waking up a furious dragon.

For a moment, Angus' aura overlaps with the fearsome dragon he saw in the past. Still, it didn't mean he was also losing against Angus. Like boundless water, the elf can parry every single Angus attack.

Each of his attacks seems like meeting soft rubber that absorbs and disperses all of the attacks. Moreover, every attack after 16 times increase has enough force to destroy the capital city. Still, the elf is somehow capable of parrying it without any problem.

It is as if his Chain Star skill didn't increase his attack but was an ordinary attack. As Angus felt his limit approaching, he stopped [Chain Star] and retreated before the elf could react [Beast Walk].

Taking a battle stance, Angus charges the Twin sword artifact with a lot of fire mana. The sword turns color into a bright orange like molten metal as the entire area becomes hotter at a fast rate.

On the other hand, the elf also prepares himself for Angus' next attack since he is already too late to stop it now. If he approaches and attacks Angus carelessly, Angus will just counter it with his charging attack.

At that time, he will have a weak position and momentum. Still, he is shocked at Angus' movement skills. Beast Walk not only gives Angus a sudden burst of acceleration but can also make him move in all directions and even retreat instantly.

This skill is too powerful to the point of magical since the user could just attack and retreat whenever they want. Unless the opponent could follow up with such a sudden acceleration speed, the user is practically invincible in a direct confrontation.

However, Angus' speed is also not ordinary. With his current agility, his speed is almost comparable to a warrior sixth-grade combatant and Beast Walk multiplied his acceleration by many times.

As the area gets hotter, Angus suddenly disappears from his spot and bright white light covers the arena. *BOOOOM* A moment after the bright light, a thunderous sound was heard, along with a massive shockwave.

At this moment, Daren reacts quickly and makes a barrier in front of everyone while staring solemnly at the stone platform arena. The whole stone platform is cracked and destroyed while the middle part of it turns into molten lava.

Angus stood at the edge of the arena solemnly, looking at the center of the arena. A bright orange vein enveloped his two arms from the twin sword artifact.

Despite this change and the burning pain from the two arms, Angus didn't take his eye off the elf who survived his attack.

Currently, the elf is covered in runic battle armor along with his shining bright barrier. His two swords also dimly shine on her hand. His entire body is hovering just right above the molten lava pool and has not affected the temperature. He also glared back at Angus.

"A complete artifact set, huh? Let's see if you can handle this." said Angus as he swung his sword.

Instantly, the elf moves to the side in fast movement. In his initial spot, the ground is cut and has a molten gutted area. The molten part spans until a few hundred meters away. Even the nearby vegetation had already burnt and dried up from the heatwave.

Angus's casual slash's lethality is almost similar to Jayna's sacred fire. Yet, the elf wasn't bothered by such a hot temperature and kept hovering in the air without touching the lava.

As the elf wanted to charge and attack Angus, dozens of magic circles appeared. [3rd Circle - Fire Blast] [3rd Circle - Fire Missile] [3rd Circle - Thunderball].

*BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM* Each magic circle releases third-grade spells with a variety spells of Fire Blast, Fire Missile, and Thunderball.

Many people thought magic could only cast spells in close proximity. However, it is actually possible to cast magic from a distance. Still, it is harder since calculation and casting speed will significantly affect it.

In fact, it is also impossible for Angus to do this spell bombardment in a short time. Angus uses one of the special techniques from Archmage Bern's legacy. Transmuting elemental mana into others is not the only technique he gets from Archmage Bern's ring.

He has a bunch of mind-blowing and deadly techniques for magicians. Unfortunately, all of these techniques or spells are like transmuting elementals. They are incomplete and a lot of research needs to be done to perfect them.

Some even look very impractical. Like the current casting technique he used. It took a few years to finally perfect one of these techniques.

The technique is actually the legendary [Multicast] technique that makes the user simultaneously cast specific spells but lengthen the casting time.

When he uses [Multicast], he can cast specific spells simultaneously. At first, the spell type and number were limited, only two or three within five meters.

However, with the help of the second threshold of [Analyze] and practicing inside the manual battle system space, Angus improved [Multicast] to casting dozens of specific third-grade spells launched within thirty meters around him instantly.

In other words, as long as he has enough mana. He could cast any spells within thirty meters around him. This also shows how broken [Analyze] Ancient Power. It could literally turn a harmless technique into something ridiculous like this one.

The spell bombardment ends and reveals the elf is still unscathed like before. It may look like the elf didn't get hit by the spells, but Angus knows it is not as simple as that.

As the elf gets bombarded by the spells, he swings his sword around. He slashes any incoming attack, be it the big explosive Fire Blast, the fast-speed Fire Missile, or the shocking Thunder Ball.

"This is going to be troublesome." muttered Angus solemnly.
