Chapter 197: Dissatisfaction

While Angus decided to reveal his skill and physical strength, the audience couldn't help but be surprised at Angus's sudden change. 

Up to now, Angus is famous as a great magician with an excellent combat sense. But, not in everyone's mind, Angus is also great as a warrior with high skill mastery.

"What the hell is that!! Gil, you are not lying, saying Angus also has great physical power." said Isvel.

"Yeah, but…" replied Gilford, who couldn't utter a single word.

"Such a refined movement skill, right?" said Jayna.

"Yeah, how could he do that? I have never seen something like that even in my entire life." said Jane, the eldest daughter of Jade.

"Fufufu.. It's too soon to be surprised. What if I told you Angus's fighting capability as a warrior is stronger than his magician capability?" said Jayna proudly like she is the one that did it.

"He what.." this time, it is the clan head Jade that seems surprised. Although he knows Angus has a strong body, he leans more towards the magician path, not a warrior from his previous performance. But, it seems this is only a facade he created to fool everyone.

'What a cunning move!! As expected of my genius nephew.' thought the clan head Jade.

"Well, It's not like Angus wants to hide it deliberately. It is just that if Angus uses his skill and physical power, he could never enjoy the fight. So, he never shows it to everyone." explained Jayna, who understands her boyfriend's personality.

At this moment, one person sends a deadly glare at Angus. This person is Neil. Right now, he feels that Angus is like an unsurpassable mountain. 

His power, skills, spells, combat sense, all of them are already at the level he could not achieve in a short time. He feels like there is a massive distance between the two of them. Moreover, he also has a beautiful girlfriend like Jayna by his side. 

For Neil, Angus is the perfect person without lacking anything. This made his jealousy burn more and completely clouded his mind.

While everyone has different thoughts about Angus, inside the arena, Angus didn't get a response from Miesta. Then, Angus clasps his hand to cast a spell. 

Seeing this, Miesta decides to throw her dagger to interrupt him. Miesta thought that Angus might be dangerous in close combat, but his casting skill as a magician proves to be more difficult to deal with in the previous matches.

However, this wrong judgment will be her doom. Angus easily dodges her dagger while keeping his chanting. Suddenly, he abandons his casting and turns back, punches towards Miesta, who is just appearing behind him.

"The same trick will never work twice!! [Dynamic Punch]" said Angus while launching a few punches at once towards Miesta. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*

Few mana barriers envelop her and withstand Angus's attacks before being destroyed. Because of Angus's multiple punches, almost all her life-saving mana barrier triggered.

Before Angus managed to break through all her mana barriers, Miesta got thrown off from the force. Didn't wanting to give his opponent a chance, Angus followed her and once again attacked her with a strong concentrated punch [Focus Punch].

At this split second, Miesta's hand is also enveloped with black-colored mana [Dark Punch] and clashes with Angus's [Focus Punch]. *BAM*

The two strong forces collided, and a shock towards the surrounding. Since Miesta launched her attack in a broken stance and unfavorable position, she got pushed back quite far away.

After pushing Miesta, Angus pointed his left hand towards Miesta and shot a few Firebolt. *Bum* *Bum* *Bum*

Miesta couldn't dodge the incoming Firebolt and triggered her last mana barrier to withstand the incoming Firebolt.

'Tch.. All my mana barrier items are used. Just what kind of monster is he?' thought Miesta while looking at his bleeding hand that previously clashed with Angus.

Seeing Miesta not coming towards him, Angus begins chanting a spell. While Miesta stabilized herself, Angus cast a spell [2nd Circle - Flame Wave] towards Miesta. *Whoosh* a wall of fire is coming towards Miesta like a tide.

Miesta decides to throw one of her daggers inside the Flame Wave. Then, take out the two curved swords from her back. Suddenly, her silhouette disappears from her spot.

Looking at this same trick, Angus immediately focused on the throwing dagger. Apparently, Miesta could use a blink-like skill with her dagger as the anchor. 

If it is anyone else, Miesta may take the others by surprise. Unfortunately, she fights against Angus, who is familiar with the blink type skill.

However, unlike last time Miesta didn't appear near her dagger position. Not finding Miesta anywhere, Angus immediately uses [Mana Echolocation]. Getting feedback from the skill, Angus understands what Miesta plans.

Then, Angus claps his hand and uses [Multicast] to prepare a few spells. Suddenly, daggers and needles appeared out of nowhere towards Angus. 

Before they managed to reach Angus, the stone platform below Angus rose up [2nd Circle - Earth Wall]. *Cling* *Cling* *Cling* The hidden weapons clash with the Earth Wall.

Standing on the top of the Earth Wall, Angus created another magic circle in front of him [2nd Circle - Fire Oil]. The Fire Oil covered a specific spot in front of him. Angus shot a few Firebolts towards the Fire Oil and set a blaze of fire.

At this moment, a magic circle appeared from the ground that was covered with Fire Oil [2nd Circle – Entroot]. A thick plantation tendril appeared from the magic circle and rose high. 

Miesta in [Stealth] couldn't help but need to reveal herself on the top of the plantation that starts to burn slowly. At this moment, Angus already cast a few Fireballs towards her.

Seeing the approaching Fireballs, Miesta brandished her curved sword and created a few small spiraling wind blades towards the Fireball [Curved Sword Art - Air Circle]. *Bom* *Bom* *Bom*

The two attack, cancelling each other. However, all this attack is only a facade for Angus's next attack. Angus points his finger towards Miesta while gathering the Fire Mana from the surroundings.

He created an overcharged Firebolt in his hand and released it towards Miesta [[1st Circle - Overcharged Firebolt]. *PIUU* *Bam* The Firebolt traveled in the blink of an eye and hit Miesta.

Before the Firebolt could hit Miesta, her tattoo in her body shines up and creates a strong bluish barrier. The barrier envelopes Miesta's whole body and withstand Angus's overcharged Firebolt.

Unlike her previous weak mana barrier, her current barrier didn't even crack in front of Angus's overcharged Firebolt that could even create a crack at the arena barrier. Still, she got thrown quite far away from the force of the Firebolt.

"Tch.. So, many life-saving barriers." said Angus.

Before Angus could cast another spell, Miesta put her hand up. "I surrender." said Miesta shortly.

"Ehh.. Why??" asked Angus in dissatisfaction.

"This protective barrier is a gift from the elders. Unless you are a sixth-grade combatant, you will have no way to make a crack in this barrier. I come to this arena to temper my combat ability without relaying the gift from the elder." explained Angus in a feminine voice.

"We two don't have any enmity for each other that required a deathmatch, and since you already triggered this barrier, it means it is my loss." added Miesta before going towards the outside arena without waiting for Angus's response.

Hearing this, Angus couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm his mind before coming down from the Earth Wall. Then, the arena barrier collapsed, and Angus could hear the cheering from the audience.

"And the winner is… Angus Victory!!" yelled the announcer as the audience cheered.

However, Angus didn't show any happy expression. Nobody knows his current mood.

'Haaa… I thought I could use my full force. To think there is a huge difference between the humanoid monster in the manual battle system and fighting in real life.' thought Angus inwardly.

Leaving the arena, Angus finds that Jayna is already waiting for him. Jayna immediately found Angusin in a bad mood.

"Pfft… Hahaha…" laughed Jayna out of nowhere.

"Hmm.. Is there something wrong?" asked Angus confusedly.

"Something wrong? Although you tried to hide it, you look like a kid who got his toys stolen. Hahaha..." said Jayna while laughing again.

"Urggh… Whatever…" replied Angus while rolled his eyes

"Anyway, be careful in the next round. Make sure to have a protective enchanted item. A person with Ancient Power means she is not an ordinary person. She is probably stronger or the same as Miesta." said Angus.

"Alright… Alright.. I will be careful. Besides, I am also not easily defeated." replied Jayna.

Hearing this, "Jayna… If you are in a critical position, go all out and use [Sacred Fire]."

"Ehh.. But…" said Jayna.

Before she could finish her sentence, "No but… I couldn't bear seeing you hurt" after saying this Angus heard a familiar deep voice in his head saying his exact word towards the red haired woman he saw before.

After a moment, "Angus.. Angus.. Hello.. Are you there?" said Jayna while waving her hand in front of Angus.

"Uhh.. yeah… I just got another vision." said Angus.

"Ehh.. is it about the Fire Phoenix? What's it? Tell me.. Hurry!!" said Jayna in an excited tone.
