Chapter 171: Tricks

*BOOM* A loud explosion was heard from far away, along with a massive tremor from Gilford's direction.

Hearing this, the intruder has a bad premonition, while Angus and Jayna keep observing the intruder calmly.

'As expected, Gilford is the most dangerous one. To think he has that thing. No wonder he said he could handle the Plague Worm alone.' thought Angus inwardly while keeping his playful face.

While Angus deliberately taunts the intruders, Jayna keeps her cold expression and looks at the intruder seriously. After fighting with Angus for a long time, she learned never to let her guard down in front of the enemy.

"Tch.. you two go check the Plague Worm! We can't lose that monster now!!" said the injured intruder that seemed like the leader.

"Yes, sir." said the two intruders before running towards Angus and Jayna's direction.

"Ohh.. You are not going away." said Angus playfully.

But, the other two intruders were also coming towards Angus. At this moment, Jayna brandished her sword and created a fire wave [Sword Art - Crimson Slash].

The intruders didn't bother to dodge and only covered their bodies with mana to withstand the weak fire wave. Looking at this, Angus immediately takes out another rune magic card. The card flashes brightly and produces a tremendous amount of oil [2nd Circle - Fire Oil].

The fire oil mixed up with the Crimson slash and became an enormous fire before exploding. The intruders also noticed, "Shit!! Retreat!!" yelled the injured intruder.

Still, their reaction was a little bit too late, and two of the intruders got caught out of the fire. Since the fire is mixed up with oil, the fire burns and sticks to the intruder's body longer.

Left with no choice, the burned intruder flared up their mana to disperse the fire on their body. *Whoosh* However, they still got some severe burn marks on their body.

Looking at this, "Oi.. Oi.. if you release that much mana, the Plague Worm attracts you." said Angus playfully.

The intruder couldn't apprehend Angus and Jayna despite having higher grades because they didn't want to use too much mana and attracted the Plague Worm. Plague Worm is a monster, and by nature, they are attracted to mana.

They even use enchanted clothes to hide their mana from the Plague Worm. However, they don't care about it anymore since there is a chance the Plague Worm will die before being attracted to them, making them fail their mission.

They didn't bother to hide their strength anymore, all the intruders coming towards Angus and Jayna again seriously. Now, they are learning their lesson and will not let down their guard against Angus's trick.

During this time, Angus also didn't stay still and cast various enchantment spells on himself and Jayna. [1st Circle - Stone Skin] [1st Circle - Agility] two different bright color aura could be seen in both of their bodies.

"No more playing around, kid. Die!!" said the intruder. 

Before Angus could cast another spell, the intruder was already approaching them. Both Angus and Jayna take out rune magic cards and immediately activate them [3rd Circle – Fire Barrier]. A reddish fire barrier envelopes both of them.

The four intruder's weapons clashed with the [Fire barrier]. *Bom* *Bom* Angus and Jayna are forced to be thrown away in another direction. As they flew away, the [Fire Barrier] cracked and dispelled.

The two burned intruders are blinded by rage and decide to chase them fervently. As they brandish their weapon towards Angus and Jayna.

During this moment, Angus shot his own Sky Thorn's end towards the intruder. *Bam* The Sky Thorn traveled in the blink of an eye and instantly penetrated one of the two intruder's bodies. The penetrated intruder couldn't help but be instantly dead from such force.

As for Jayna, she immediately used [Sacred Fire] and enveloped her body with a hot crimson flame. The incoming intruder's weapon immediately melted down from the [Sacred Fire] and nullified its force.

Using the accumulated Fire Mana, Jayna brandished her sword and cut the intruder's body [Sword Art - Fiery Wave]. The two intruder's bodies and the path behind them turn into a hot burning area.

Fortunately, the other two intruders managed to sense the attack and escape the [Fiery Wave] area. Looking at the melted two intruders turned into ash from Jayna's attack, the other intruders couldn't help but feel nervous.

'Such a strong fire mastery.' thought the intruder.

After doing the [Fiery Wave], Jayna immediately kneels on the ground, exhausted. Looking at the drained Jayna, the two intruders feel relief as they know Jayna couldn't use that kind of skill often.

However, they also didn't expect two of their people to get killed by the kids in front of them. Especially Angus, he has many tricks on his sleeve to continuously annoy and manage to kill one of their teammates.

Seeing that the intruder becomes hesitant, Jayna takes out a potion bottle and chucks it down. Looking at this, the two intruders left once again charged towards Angus and Jayna. Now, decide to eliminate these two kids in front of them first as they feel the threat. 

However, Angus immediately creates a massive tall Earth Wall below them from his prepared spell and raises both of them into the sky. 

Seeing that the two kids are trying to run away through the Earth Wall, they immediately destroy the Earth Wall] using their weapons.

Looking at the destroyed Earth Wall at its base, Angus and Jayna jump up in the other direction. At this moment, the Earth Wall shadow covered both of the two intruders.

While jumping, Angus cast a few Fireballs towards the two intruders. *BOM* *BOM* The Fireball hit the nearby sand dunes and made the whole area covered by sand.

At this moment, *Clang* *Bang* *Argghh* a series of clashing weapons heard from the intruder's location.

While all of this happens, Angus and Jayna already make quite a distance from the intruder. After the dust settled down and the view cleared, one of the intruders was already on the ground getting his heart pierced lifelessly.

As for the leg injured intruder, he is fighting against the Draven, who is coming and going from the shadow.

"Shit!! What the hell is this guy?!!" curse the last intruder.

After the dust settled down, Draven entered back towards the shadow and disappeared. Using this opportunity, Angus shot [2nd Circle - Lightning Bolt] towards the intruder.

Didn't expect Angus could use another element such as [Lightning Bolt]. The intruder couldn't react properly and get electrocuted. However, he managed to resist the spell and flare up his mana to reduce his numb body.

A brown mana aura envelops the intruder's body and makes him bulkier than before. His injured leg is also closing up.

'Earth element!!' thought Angus inwardly and ready his Sky Thorn.

"I didn't want to use this since it consumes a lot of mana. However, it seems we are underestimating both of you too much." said the intruder while looking at his dead teammate.

Wielding its sword, the intruder runs towards Angus and Jayna. In the blink of an eye, the intruder managed to arrive in front of Angus and Jayna.

Once again, Angus cast Earth Wall on the intruder's path to block them. But, the intruder destroys the wall quickly like it never even existed.

"No more tricks, kid." said the intruder coldly and brandished the sword towards Angus.

Angus shot his Sky Thorn's end and clashed with the intruder's sword at this critical moment. The intruder was forced to take a few steps back before coming towards Angus again.

Looking at the determined intruder to kill him, Angus takes out another rune magic card to stall the intruder.

'I need to stall him until Jayna recovers.' thought Angus inwardly.

Before the intruder could move further, a yellowish flash appeared beside the intruder [Lightning Strike]. *Blam* The intruders immediately got hit and thrown a few meters away.

"My.. My… Are you not ashamed of fighting against kids? Why don't you fight against someone on your level." said Isvel while his body occasionally created an electrical spark.

Looking at the newcomer is Isvel, both Angus and Jayna feel relieved. Since Isvel is here, it means others will be coming to help them soon.

"Sorry for being late, cousin. Good job holding on this long. I will take care of him now." said Isvel while looking at the dead intruder.

Looking at the intruder's lifeless body nearby, 'It seems the news about both of them being strong is not exaggerated.' thought Isvel before disappearing on his spot.

In the blink of an eye, Isvel appeared before the intruder and slashed him with his twin dagger. However, the last intruder could resist the attack using his sturdy body.

Looking at this, "Hee… So you are an earth element combatant. Let's see how many slashes you could withstand." said Isvel before disappearing again on his spot.

Soon, many shallow wounds continuously appear on the intruder's body [Light dagger 1st style - Omnislash].

"Urrgh... HAA!!" roared the intruder while slamming his hand towards the ground. *BOM*
