I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 167: Two Brother



Chapter 167: Two Brother

Inside Angus's tent, "Haa… I think I have no problem killing all the assassins before in a frontal battle." said Angus while sweating.

Angus was just having a fierce battle inside the manual battle system. He fights with some of the assassins he apprehended before, who had the power of grade two with its grade three leaders.

Although they didn't specialize in frontal battle, fighting them all at once was still difficult. Angus even needs the help of Draven and rune card magic along with potions to win.

Still, the rewards are tremendous. Just by fighting all of them at once, Angus could accumulate around 100 soul points.

This is an enormous reward, considering he only gets around 4-6 soul points for fighting one of them beside the assassin leader. Based on this fact, Angus could summarize the soul points he gets when according to the grade.

The first-grade combatant only gives 1-2 points, but it takes some time to win the battle since their endurance is also upgraded. Second-grade combatant gives 4-6 soul points. Still, it takes more time to win than fighting first grade.

Not only that, when Angus faced multiple opponents in second grade, all of them could use some sort of simple teamwork and make the battle harder. During this time, Angus was often forced to use his rune magic card to help him.

As for the third-grade combatant, such as the assassin leader gives around 12-15 souls points. Angus needs to fight with all his strength and use a rune magic card to beat them.

The problem he faced when fighting third-grade combatants is their resilience. They could protect their body with their mana. Furthermore, unlike normal people, the opponent inside the manual battle system is like an optimized robot.

They will use anything to defeat Angus in the most efficient way. None of the taunting or tricks will work towards them. He also feels that the higher the grade, the more intelligent they become.

The most ridiculous thing that happens is they even managed to use combination spells or skills. Angus knows how difficult it is to use this technique since it needs high concentration and mind power.

Yet the grade three opponent still could do it with the help of mana. Still, it is not without repercussions. Normally, this kind of technique will damage the brain and mind in the long term. But, the black humanoid monster didn't care about that.

He speculated that the higher the grade, the more reckless technique it could use. Angus feels he needs to wait for a while before fighting the grade four opponent, such as the teacher Oswalt, the spy of the Nergal kingdom.

He didn't know what kind of strange reckless technique it would use. Besides that, Angus decided to fight a battle with a winning chance percentage upper than 60 percent.

At this winning percentage, he already needs potions and various other stuff to win the battle, such as the fight he just did. Unlike his rune magic card that he could recharge, the potion is very precious, especially in this dangerous land.

Fortunately, a merchant in the village sells some of the potions along with its ingredients. This way, Angus could re-supply his ingredients and make his own potion. Because of this, Angus didn't need to worry about expending his potion for now.

However, the village didn't use gold coins like in the Firuman. They use the barter system along with the mana core as currency.

The price of the ingredient is also higher than in the Firuman. Angus needs to pay two to three first-grade mana cores to gather ingredients for a lesser-grade mana potion. As for the one lesser grade mana potion, it cost around fifteen first grade mana cores.

According to the seller, it is harder to get the ingredients and make potions than hunting mana core. Fortunately, Angus collected a lot of mana core during his way towards the Surya Desert. Besides that, Angus could also harvest some first-grade monsters through his system.

Although it will not always drop a mana core, it is still better than nothing. Angus also found that fighting a second-grade monster is almost the same as fighting a third-grade human combatant.

Their body is so ridiculously strong that most of Angus's attacks could be endured by them. Unless Angus uses a strong skill attack, the monster could definitely withstand Angus's attack.

Furthermore, they also still retain some of their wisdom. Unlike normal monsters, they could use tactics. He didn't want to think about fighting a third-grade monster who is more resilient than it.

After calming his breath and resting for a while, Angus went out of his tent. The current Sur village environment is quite rowdy. Angus heard from the nearby guard that the hunter squad managed to bring back some big monsters for village supply.

During the time the sand turtle moves its body, the Sur Clan will send a team towards a nearby area to subjugate any monster or beast that managed to get on top of the sand turtle's shell. One of the hunter teams is also the one that found Angus and Jayna.

Ignoring this news, Angus decides to go towards Jayna's tent but only to find she is already going out to train by herself. Then, he chose to visit her later and went towards his uncle's tent.

He planned to start to medicate his uncle's old wound. The faster his uncle healed, the better situation for them. Arriving in front of the clan head tent, Angus found a few people inside the tent.

Looking that they are still having a discussion, Angus decides to wait for them. After Angus waited outside for a while, Angus got called by his uncle, who already noticed his presence.

"Angus, come in." said Jade in a deep voice.

Entering the tent, Angus found a red-skinned man with yellow hair and a red-haired man with the same skin tone looking at him.

"Angus, my dear nephew, let me introduce you to them. The one with red hair is Kurvan, my first son. And the one with yellow hair is Isvel, my second son. There should be another, but It seems he is late."

"So, you are the one that is called more genius than our youngest brother?" said the red-haired man.

"Don't be too serious, brother. Hello, Name is Isvel, but everyone here calls me Lightning since I am fast as lightning." chatter the yellow-haired man.

"Hello, I am Angus Victory. As you know, I am from Firuman and nephew of the clan head." replied Angus.

"Well, At least you are not too dumb like my youngest brother." said Kurvan.

"Or boring like the third brother." replied Isvel.

"Alright, both of you could rest first. Angus, is there something you need?" asked the clan head Jade.

As the two brothers went out of the tent, "Yes, I have done all the necessary preparation." replied Angus.

"Already?? Then, let's do it tonight. Many hunter squads will return these days, and I need to be there for their report." said the clan head.

"Alright, where are we doing it?" asked Angus.

"How about here?" replied Jade.

"Good, there are a lot of isolation runes in the tent. It will create less hassle in case uncle is screaming out loud." said Angus.

"Hahaha… There is no way I will scream like that." said Jade.

"Well, the last patient that healed with miasma potion screaming like hell even though he was already in the seventh-grade realm." said Angus.

Hearing this, the clan head couldn't help but have a cold sweat, "Err.. You are joking, right?" said Jade.

"Nope, that's the truth. So, I hope uncle will also prepare himself." said Angus before going outside towards Jayna's location.

On the way, Angus found a yellow-haired guy waiting for him in the middle of the road.

"Hey, cousin. Go out for training? Can I tag along?" asked Isvel.

"Hmm… Sure." said Angus shortly.

Then, both of them begin to walk towards Jayna's location. On the way, Angus starts to regret his decision to accept the yellow-haired guy accompanying him. It is because Isvel is someone that could not shut his mouth.

He is the one that could be called a chatterbox. Just a moment, Angus walks with Isvel, he is already telling his story about his life inside the village without stopping.

Fortunately, the distance towards Jayna's location is not too far. After a while of enduring the chatterbox, Angus arrives at the clearing where Jayna is training. At this moment, a heatwave will occasionally come out from Jayna's body.

Looking at the intense heatwave, "Uwahh.. What a strong fire element." commented Isvel beside Angus.

Suddenly, Jayna, who closes her eyes while standing, opens her eyes and a crimson fire envelops her body. A phoenix silhouette is coming out behind her, along with the bird's cry. *Piaakk* [Sacred Fire]

The surrounding temperature immediately rose to a high degree. The ground below Jayna even turns into molten lava from the scorching heat. Despite this, Jayna itself seems completely fine, along with her clothes and sword.

Out of nowhere, Jayna slashes her sword horizontally and creates an arc of crimson fire towards the horizon [Sword Art - Fiery Wave].
