I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 346 - You Will Remember Her



"Just who could it be?" asked Borkins after inspecting the battlefield.

During this time, a soldier approached Borkins, "Sir, we found the core inside the Ogre's corpse, all of them are still intact." reported the soldier.

"Hmm.. It means the person does not care for the mana core either." said Borkins.

"Err.. There's one more thing, sir. I think you should look at it yourself." said the soldier.

"Huh??" replied Borkins while following the soldier.

After walking for a while, Borkins find hundreds of monster corpses brutally mutilated. He feels like seeing a carnage, a horrible scene. All he could see was a bloody monster corpse that he couldn't recognize. It feels like these monsters meet some sort of mad beast.

  "No wonder there is no other monster approaching here despite the commotion. It appears that all of them have already been brutally killed." said Borkins while having cold sweat.

Although this kind of bloody scene is not rare for Borkins, who has been guarding the Black Fortress for years, all of this only happens in a matter of hours. Moreover, all of this is done by the same person fighting the Ogre.

At this moment, Borkins thought a seventh grade combatant was passing by. However, he immediately brushed off such an idea. If it is genuinely a seventh grade combatant, it will not have a struggle against a fifth-grade Ogre.

After inspecting the battlefield, he finds that the Fifth grade Ogre and the other person are almost equal. Even though some of the battle traces are destroyed by their attack, Borkins is certain it is a fierce fight.

Moreover, Borkins couldn't trace the mysterious person fighting the fifth grade Ogre. Not only was this person's mana trace in the battlefield very faint, but Borkins also could not even know which grade the person belonged to. All he knows is the person using fire mana.

Like the Ogre, the soldiers also find the monster core inside their butchered corpses. Seeing this, Borkins decide to clean up the area and take all these corpses back. Although the monster's corpse is heavily damaged, its monster core is still valuable.

Moreover, if left alone, the other monster could consume their corpse and make them stronger. To Borkins and merchants, this monster's corpse is worthless, but it is a very nutritional food to other monsters.

They also couldn't casually burn the monster's corpse either as it may attract a lot of monsters from far away. Therefore, they could only take the monster's corpse back. While Borkins and the others clean up the battlefield, Angus is rinsing his body at the nearby river.

Although the sun was beginning to set, he couldn't go back to the Fortress while drenched red in blood. Therefore, he decided to rinse himself in the river. It also calms down the bloodthirsty aura that surrounds him.

After doing a massacred and fierce battle, there is a lingering thick bloodthirsty aura surrounding him. This kind of aura is hard to hide. It could only be subsided over time while he calmed his mind. Entering the cold water, Angus looks at his hand that is slowly mended. 

He didn't notice this during the fight, but his regeneration has actually become faster than usual. Curious, Angus decides to check his status panel.

Heritage chi: ???

Strength: 50

"Hmm… If I am not wrong, I should have the Soul Reserve around five hundred something. Haa… It seems I'm truly going overboard this time." muttered Angus before putting his head into the water.

Currently, Angus feels empty and void. He feels like an empty husk, a wild animal losing his way. 

"Maybe, I should just run away from all this stuff and live peacefully on my own." said Angus while floating on the river.

Suddenly, he gets a sudden flash image of Jayna. 

As he reminisced about his memory with Jayna, "When you forget your path, you will remember her. When you forget yourself, you will remember her. When you become nothing like me, you will remember her." Once again, he hears a familiar voice inside his mind.

"Yeah, I have already decided to never forget about her and keep her trust. I will not give up on her easily." said Angus.

After that, Angus changes his clothes and goes back to the Fortress. By the time he arrives at the Fortress, it is already past dinner time. Using [Mana Echolocation], Angus notices Jayna is inside his room waiting on him. He immediately hurried towards his room and entered it.

"Jayna!!" called Angus.

"Angus, you are back…" said Jayna before being kissed by Angus.

Jayna didn't resist Angus and received Angus's lips.

After having a long deep passionate kiss, "I am sorry. I will not give up on you. I will never… ever give up on you." said Angus while hugging Jayna.

"Angus…" muttered Jayna as she noticed the abnormal condition of her boyfriend.

"Jayna, can I be with you?" asked Angus.

"Yeah.. Sure." said Jayna.

At this time, Jayna notices the bloody pungent smell on Angus's body. 

"Angus… You smell."  said Jayna.

"Ehh.. Then, let's take a bath together." said Angus before carrying Jayna towards the bathroom.

Late in the night, they once again share a deeply intimate act together at the bed. Angus gives Jayna some pleasurable massage as usual. On the following day, Angus wakes up, freshens up, and goes to the training area.

During the battle with the Fifth grade Ogre, he noticed a few of his shortcomings. First, he lacks firepower. All Angus's skills and spells are useless in front of the actual strength like the Fifth grade Ogre has.

The Ogre only used a crude reinforced skill, but it could hold most of all Angus's attack. Therefore he truly lacks firepower or strength. Currently, he couldn't increase his strength further as he had already reached his body limit and needed to open the second gate of life.

Opening the second gate of life now is suicide. He still didn't regain complete control over his body and was also not in his best condition. Then, it leaves him with few choices to increase his firepower.

The first choice is to keep cultivating chi as he knows it is many times stronger than his current mana. His other option is to learn the high circle spell. High circle spell is many times stronger than his current strongest attack.

He knows that if he used the fifth circle or above spell, the fifth grade Ogre might not dare face it head-on. However, there are a lot of limitations to using high circle spells like the fifth circle and above. First, they need a massive amount of mana. 

This is not a problem since Angus mana is very dense and could cast one or two fifth-grade circles without a problem. The next limitation is the spells take a very long time to be released. There is no way the opponent will let Angus cast the spell peacefully.

This is why Magicians are always positioned back into the formation. However, from yesterday's battle, Angus knows he may not always be fighting in the back. Sometimes he also needs to go into the frontline and fight directly.

Fortunately, there are many ways to increase the casting speed of high circle spells recorded in books. Since ancient times, Magicians could release devastating spells, but they needed a lot of time to prepare and cast the spells.

Therefore, it is normal for them to increase the casting speed. Some experts even experiment to eliminate the casting itself. Unfortunately, eliminating casting could only be applied towards low circle spells.

There is a reason why spell categories are based on the circle. It shows how many magic circles need to be calculated before casting the spells. One or two circles could easily be calculated and released without even casting if the user is proficient in the spell.

Starting from the third circle, it will be a little bit difficult to brush off the calculation and cast it instantly. The highest circle people could use without casting is the fourth circle. When they reach the fifth circle, everyone will always need to cast the spell.

The major reason is that fifth circle spells need a lot of mana, and no one could use it casually to practice. The second reason is the fifth circle spell's calculation is very complicated and takes time. Without the help of chanting, the spells will be bound to fail.

Although Angus could always increase his mind processing speed and calculation ability, he is still not able to completely calculate the fifth circle spells easily. 

This is also the reason why Angus never uses the fifth circle spell even though his mana capacity is enough to cast them. With the same amount of mana and time needed to cast, he could do many things to incapacitate his opponent.

But it is only to apply to the opponent that is one or maybe two grades above him. If Angus finds himself fighting against the sixth-grade combatant above or the fifth-grade monster, he will be in the situation like the day before.

Therefore, Angus decided to start practicing Fifth Grade spells and decrease their casting speed.. He also decided to create very deadly attack spells that could penetrate the hard defense.
