I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 825 Sword Sparring

Chapter 825 Sword Sparring

Knowing such a place, Angus couldn't help but be intrigued at the secret of this Losvertisch. On the other hand, he also didn't want to pry too much on it.

Despite his huge curiosity, he still adhered to Master Benjamin's advice. If it is heavily sealed, it means the thing inside is too dangerous for the outer world. Otherwise, the seal will be broken a long time ago.

With many sub-dimension appearances, it proves the seal is strong and has never been broken for who knows how long. With such a powerful seal, Angus knows the thing inside is equally powerful.

As for the rumor about the seal getting weakened from the Guardian, he assumed it should be a seal to prevent Gram and monsters from coming out, not the genuine seal of Losvertisch.

If the actual seal is getting weaker, these many sub-dimensions are the first ones that will get affected. At that time, the whole Everwhite may also be affected and will no longer be an independent dimension like it is now.

Another few days passed by without any incident. During these past few days, Angus and Jayna have had rest and rarely leave the camp area. Both of them are too exhausted in body and mind.

Although their special constitution prevents them from getting tired physically, their mental fatigue and stress still accumulated over time in these last few days.

Fortunately, little Anna somehow becomes a sensible child, leaving them alone to recover. She plays with her new pet Bitty and the giant white salamander Cupid all day. On this day, Jayna grips her new sword and stands on the frozen lake while closing her eyes.

The moment Jayna grips the sword artifact, she can connect with the sword and feels like her own limb. The sword Angus forged is not just a sentient weapon but a genuine indestructible artifact.

Through a series of checks and inspections, they assumed it was because of a remnant of a phoenix soul inside the feather. The natural Winter Solstice also becomes another factor to accelerate the process of becoming an artifact.

As for Angus' chi infusion, it makes the sword deadlier. If ordinary people get near it, they will think it is a cursed sword or something sinister from its aura. However, this is a good thing since it means this sword becomes a weapon to kill.

Angus believes a good weapon is a weapon that could kill. With this belief, Angus designed and created every part of the sword to maximize its potential to kill. Despite having this sinister aura, Jayna didn't feel disturbed at all.

Furthermore, Jayna could even feel a strange bond from it. She knows this special bond means the sentient part of the sword itself.

With the stronger bond, she could utilize the sword's power better. Unfortunately, she could only slowly deepen this bond over time by continuously using it.

After a few moments of silence while gripping her new sword, Jayna sharply opens her fiery phoenix eyes.

"Rampage... Suntear."?muttered Jayna.

*Cling* Suddenly, the sword artifact shone brightly and covered the whole area. *CRACK* *CRACK* *WHOOSHH* Instantly, a hot steam and airwave erupted from the Jayna.

After a few minutes, the frozen lake had already become a massive water pool, bubbling and continuously releasing hot steam.

Fortunately, this area is still near the basin and suppresses the scale of evaporation. Otherwise, the whole Everwhite frozen lake may turn into water or disappear in just a few minutes.

On the other hand, Jayna is hovering above the steamy water with the support of her fiery wings. The artifact in her hand was already covered in intense phoenix fire.

"Fiuuhh… It's really hard to control." said Jayna.

"Well, at least it could handle your fire now. You could focus on practicing your skill." remarked Angus from the side.

Angus ignores the heat and steam in the surroundings without getting a single burn.

"Ahh… Yeah. About that… I think I need your help." said Jayna.

"Sword spar?" asked Angus.

"Yes." nodded Jayna.

"Alright… Hmm… Did you mind if I used your sword skill?" asked Angus with a smirk.

"Urgh… Show off. But, fine. It should help me." said Jayna.

Hearing this, Angus also takes out his twin sword artifact before gesturing to Jayna to attack him. *Swish* *Clang* A loud sword clash could be heard in the area. Angus parries Jayna's rush attack easily. Yet, his position in the air forces him to back away.

Unlike Jayna, who has wings to propel herself in the air, Angus could only use air movement skills, flying spells, and mana manipulation to stay in the air. He definitely couldn't match with the phoenix in terms of air combat maneuvering.

Angus controls his body in the air, using the force of momentum to land on the hard ice ground in the distance. Seeing this, Jayna just pursues him while attacking with her sword.

Their initial plan is to have a sword spar, which should not rely on other external abilities like flying or terrain advantage.

*TING* *TING* *TING* *TING* After the young couple lands on the frozen ground, Jayna controls the heat in her sword and attacks Angus with pure sword skill. Unfortunately, their experience and skills are vastly different.

Despite Jayna's relentless attack, Angus could parry every one of them easily. He didn't even need to take a single step from his initial spot. *BOOOM* Noticing she needs to make a breakthrough, she instantly uses [Fiery Burst] to propel herself in front of Angus.

[Phoenix Dance 1st step - Feather Blossom] Covered with a fiery red feather, Jayna makes a dozen fluid sword strikes along with the fiery feather.

Noticing the incoming attack, Angus had a bigger smirk before moving around following Jayna's attack. Magically, every fiery feather and Jayna's sword couldn't touch even a single hair of Angus despite being so close.

Angus could always move his body flexibly and dodge everything with high precision. While dodging and jumping in the air, he twirls his twin swords and gets into a lower-drawing sword stance.

All this movement looks perfect and fluid as if it was already choreographed. At this moment, Jayna's beastly instinct feels danger from Angus.

"Careful!!" warned Angus playfully.

*BOOOM* *SWISH* *SPLIT* [Sword Art - Red Tear] A flash of red light passed to Jayna's side up towards the horizon in a split second. Fortunately, Jayna uses [Fiery Burst] and her wing to propel to the side to dodge the attack. Otherwise, she will get hurt by this monstrous fast attack.

This also shows how powerful Angus's sword skill is. She could also use Red Tear, but not on such a scale. Angus' Red Tear seems able to go on as far as she can see. Moreover, the speed and sharpness are entirely different from hers.

"Focus!!" called Angus.

Using another twin sword, Angus attacks Jayna and wakes her up from her thoughts. *CLANG* Jayna manages to parry Angus' attack but still gets pushed back and breaks her stance.

Angus attacks Jayna through fluid, sharp yet fluid movements without giving her any time to catch her breath. *CLANG* *CLANG* *CLANG* Jayna could only passively parry Angus's relentless attack.

Angus's attack is very hard to defend, and she continuously breaks her stance. Sometimes, it will be a fast light strike. Others, it will be a forceful attack. Each swing contains a profound sword technique combined with an unpredictable feint attack.

Still, none of these attacks truly hurt Jayna besides breaking her stance. Jayna knows if Angus wants, he could easily defeat her or even kill her during this time. She notices Angus is trying to instill in her some sword technique and experience through this.

Jayna's fiery eyes slowly noticed something in Angus' movement as they clashed for a while.

'This… It's Feather Blossom dance?!!' thought Jayna inwardly.

In this split second, her proudful phoenix pride suddenly got blown. She could feel an unreasonable rage in her heart.

"YOU!!" called Jayna in anger.

Before Jayna could think, her body was subconsciously moving and attacking more aggressively. Her aura and demeanor have completely changed from a second ago. The fire in her sword is also burning stronger as if trying to turn Angus into ash.

*BOOOOM* The sword touches the frozen lake and destroys the surrounding area. Noticing Jayna's sudden change, Angus slipped back while dodging the attack as usual.

"Hahaha… Show me.. Show me your worth as My Empress!! Hahaha…" laughed Angus with a crazed smile.

"Scumbag!!" roared Jayna in anger.

At this moment, Jayna's figure is already covered in burning phoenix armor. Without warning, she releases countless flying fiery phoenix feathers towards Angus.

"I will show you what the true Feather Blossom is." said Jayna in anger.

Following the fast feather, Jayna attacks Angus again through fluid motion and dancing movement [Phoenix Dance 1st step - Feather Blossom]. Not wanting to lose either, Angus also used a similar skill with his own version to attack Jayna.

*CLANG* *CLANG* *CLANG* *CLANG* After a series of clashing, Angus somehow manages to entangle his hands with Jayna's arm and stop her fluid movement. As Jayna wants to struggle to break away, Angus kisses Jayna aggressively.

"MMmmmm…"

Jayna could only whimper softly before her mind cleared from her unreasonable wrath. After a while, Angus breaks the kiss while still madly glaring at Jayna.

"You are mine. Always be mine." said Angus.
