I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 861: Extreme Yin-Yang

"This is going to be fun." said Atonas while licking his wolf mouth.

In contrast with his playful expression, Atonas has a different thought.

'Fuck! Fuck!! Are you kidding me?!! How could he keep up with me?! What kind of pressure is this? Just who the hell is he?!

I am not going to die, right?!!' thought Atonas in panic.

The two of them face off against each other in silence. Suddenly, Atonas disappeared from his spot to launch the attack first. As soon as he disappeared, an invisible wave erupted from Angus.

"[Domain - Extreme Yin-Yang]" muttered Angus softly.

A large yin-yang diagram covered the ground and their surroundings. At the same time, Atonas stops on his track just a few centimeters away from Angus. He couldn't move nor perceive the sudden change in the surroundings.

The yin-yang diagram slowly rotates on the ground. With the movement of the yin-yang diagram, Angus also moves along with the diagram. It stops until Angus stands directly behind Atonas.

On the other hand, another Atonas appeared to replace the previous Angus' position. The new Atonas seems like mirroring the real Atonas. At this moment, time starts to move again. The real Atonas surprise at seeing another him in place of Angus.

However, his rich combat experience ignores this problem and attacks the fake Atonas. The fake Atonas do not stay idle either but also move mirroring the real ones. The same speed, power, and even skill. *Stab* *Stab* *Stab* *Stab*

In a split second, the two Atonas hurt each other, leaving them with the same wound.

'Urgh… Is this a mirroring clone?!' thought Atonas inwardly.

Just as Atonas stops attacking and creates a distance, the clone suddenly no longer mirrors his movement and hits Atonas a few times before disappearing. All of this happens in a split second, and it looks like Atonas turns bloody just after he rushes towards Angus.

'Huft.. Huft… Huft… Guess it is still too much to use this skill.' thought Angus while in a rough breath and sweating.

[Domain - Extreme Yin-Yang] is not an ordinary domain skill but an integration of various domain skills. Initially, it could only reflect any kind of attack, be it physical, magical, curse, or any other kind of attack.

This domain skill was developed more by Angus' teacher in his previous life to create a clone that also reflects its injury to the opponent. This will create a double injury effect towards the opponent.

Angus took this domain one step further. The clone not only mirrored the opponent but also launched a few more attacks based on his prediction of the opponent's movement. This domain becomes the ultimate counterattack skill.

Unfortunately, this domain consumes too much chi since it uses various domain skills simultaneously. Moreover, it is inclined towards a defensive style, which contradicts Angus' nature. Still, it is one of the best ways to deal with an opponent with breakneck speed.

"Urgh.. *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* What the hell was that?!!" said Atonas while coughing blood.

His body was covered by blood and deep injuries, especially the one that was inflicted by the clone. Since the clone previously mirrored his move, he got the same injury as it. After the clone dissipates, he receives the same injury.

Then, Atonas feels like getting hit again in his wound. These magical skills leave Atonas half-dead and wary of Angus. He couldn't even understand how Angus did it. All he knows is just getting hit by a clone before he receives a deadly injury.

In the meantime, Angus no longer attacks but observes Atonas and his surroundings. Since the start of their battle, no one seems to notice them. Angus knew Atonas must have done something since they first met.

"Hmm… I thought the God of death couldn't be killed. But, you seem to be vulnerable." said Angus calmly.

"God of Death?! *Cough* *Cough* I wish I were him. *Cough* But, we are far from such a being." said Atonas with struggle.

'His injury is rapidly healed. Although not as fast as Jayna and I, it is still slowly healing. This kind of healing technique is also similar to Millie's soul skill.' thought Angus while observing the wolf beastman.

"Then, who are you? What is your purpose?" asked Angus.

"Kekeke… I was supposed not to tell you that. I believe that's the company's policy," said Atonas with a laugh.

"However, I was just a freelancer that got pushed around. I think we could somehow make some exceptions around it." Atonas smirked.

"I don't think you are in a position to make a deal?" asked Angus.

"Then, I will just escape. You should know it is impossible to catch me if I want to run away. Besides, aren't you curious about us? Something to do with your naughty little girl, right?" replied Atonas.

"Did you just threaten me?" asked Angus.

"No… Of course not. Who would dare threaten you? No one dared to threaten you unless they had a hole in their brain. Those ungrateful bastards will not send me here if they are trying to provoke you." said Atonas cryptically.

"What did you mean?" asked Angus.

"Nothing much." replied Atonas shortly.

'Tch.. We are not getting anywhere. But I also lack information about him and the group behind him. If it is not a Death God? Who are they?' thought Angus deeply.

After thinking deeply for a few minutes, "Alright, what did you want?" asked Angus coldly.

"Good!! Don't worry, it is not difficult. You just need to help me do my job in this area. That way, you can learn more about us without me breaching company rules." said Atonas.

"Did you mean I joined whatever your group is? Sorry, but no. I don't plan to join any sketchy group." asked Angus.

"No.. No.. No.. You are just doing a one-time job or part-time job if you feel like this job. Anyway, you will not be harmed or bound by anything." said Atonas.

"Why did you need my help? Also, what exactly is this job?" asked Angus.

"As you can see, my condition is bad. It will be a hassle to move around for the next few days. I also missed some appointments because of our duel, which gave me more work."

"As for what this job is? I think you should know better than I am. Didn't you experience this in your past life?" replied Atonas.

"How did you know?!!" asked Angus in anger while gripping Atonas's clothes

Unlike before, Atonas didn't dodge and let Angus grab him. However, his eyes are still calm, and his face has a playful smirk. In fact, Angus knows Atonas should have already guessed about his past life and transmigration since he is also proficient in soul.

Still, Angus prefers not to reveal this secret to anyone. So far, the only people who know about his transmigration secret are Jayna and his ex-disciple, Ivis Latina. The former is his beloved woman, and the latter is also a transmigrated soul like him.

"Why are you so surprised? Although your case is very rare, it is not impossible in this magical world. Besides, you should also already guess what kind of job I did with those 'Legacy' in your body." said Atonas playfully.

"Tch… Fine. However, I want to know all the details first. Also, no one from my family or loved one is involved in this." said Angus while putting down Atonas.

"Great!! Don't worry, we had strict policy about family, friends, or even acquaintances. Just think of it as a specialized medical job." reassured Atonas.

"Now, you need to…" said Atonas.

Atonas starts to explain his job to Angus. To put it simply, Atonas' job is 'killing' people whose souls are already at the end of time. The problem is they couldn't just kill the people using ordinary means.

They need to [Harvest] the soul without damaging it. This requires specific skills and abilities beyond comprehension.

'Hmmm…. According to Atonas' description, isn't this technique similar to [Killing Art] in my past life.' thought Angus.

In his previous life, a group of people specialized in assassination and killing. This group somehow manages to bring the way of killing to the pinnacle. Their practice is so ridiculous that it kills a person just with a look.

This kind of technique is called [Killing Art]. As the strongest person in his previous life, Angus often clashes with [Killing Art] practitioners daily. This is also his turning point, longing for a peaceful life and becoming more secluded in his past life.

Angus also experienced various kinds of [Killing Art] during their fight. From a beginner to a grandmaster, he fights and defeats everyone. As a result, Angus also mastered [Killing Art] with the help of his absurd martial arts talent.

Some people even regard him as the grandmaster of [Killing Art] despite his not being an official practitioner.

After hearing the explanation of Atonas's job, Angus didn't directly agree to do it. He still needs to clarify his company's true nature and purpose. Atonas agreed to his inquiry as if he knew Angus would ask this.

"Before that, I need you to die first." said Atonas.

These are the last words Angus heard before his consciousness plunged into darkness.
