Chapter 506 Napollo

"Don't worry, Aunt Extalia. She is just a big cat." said Jayna before going to the battle arena.

At the same time, the beast race in the battle arena is frowning as if she hears Jayna's sentence despite her speaking in a low voice. Before entering the battle arena, Jayna looks at Angus with sharp eyes.

Jayna warns him about Princess Brigida in the next battle through their bond. She knows Angus wants to fight this woman and chooses to respect his wish. Although Jayna also wants to fight her, she knows there is a huge chance she will lose.

The reason she could overpower her enemy who is far above her grade is because of her fire. However, she may still lose in front of people with a lot of experience and combat mastery.

Basically, a combatant like Princess Brigida who relies on technique and skill mastery is a bad match for her. Combined with the differences in grade and mana, she will likely lose. It is better for someone to fight against Angus or her aunt.

Entering the battle arena, "Hmm… Since this is our first time, let me introduce this big cat name. My name is…." greeted the beast woman.

*Whoosh* *BAM* Before the beast woman finishes her sentence, Jayna charges at her and swings her burning sword. This preemptive attack is fast and deadly. However, her opponent somehow manages to retreat backward before even her burning sword's heat reaches the beast.

"Aww… Why so feisty? I hear the human race likes to talk before fighting." said the beast woman as she dodged Jayna's follow-up attack.

As the beast woman dodges, she realizes Jayna slowly corners her to the arena's edge. The battle arena is quite big and has a circular shape. Around the boundary, there are strong barriers to prevent destruction to the surrounding.

If the fighter leaves the boundary barrier, they will lose. Therefore, the fighter couldn't just keep running away in one direction. Normally, the beast woman could easily avoid this cornered situation. However, Jayna still manages to corner her with the help of [Analyze].

Getting cornered, Jayna didn't waste time and swung her burning sword [Sword Art - Crimson Slash]. *Whoosh* *BOMM* Unfortunately, the beast woman dodges her attack by jumping high and flying in the air before stopping behind Jayna.

"Huff… that's quite dangerous. That almost burned my beautiful fur." said the beast woman while stroking her red fur in her arm.

Jayna ignores her comment and sends a few Crimson Slash on her way. *Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*

"Woahh.. Woaahh… Aren't you supposed to be like second grade? How could you spam this dangerous attack so easily?" said the beast woman as she dodged the attack leisurely.

The game of cat and mouse between Jayna and the beast woman happened for a few minutes. During this time, Jayna had already released dozens of Crimson Slash to the beast woman who kept commenting on her.

Despite this, Jayna didn't look tired at all. She even pursues the beast woman faster and boldly without giving her opponent any breathing. As a result, the beast woman begins to focus on avoiding Jayna's fiery attack.

As a leopard beast races, she instinctively fears strong heat. She could feel a tremendous amount of unnatural heat in every Jayna's attack. She knows it only needs one attack for Jayna to cut her like butter. Moreover, Jayna starts to predict her movement.

If it is not because of her trained beastly instinct, she is already burned to ash or cut into pieces long ago.

'And who said this is an easy job… Damn those geezers, I will cut all their balls when I come back later.' thought the beast woman as some of her furs started to get burned from Jayna's attack.

Although not Jayna's attack is touching her, the Crimson Slash still radiates high heat to the surroundings. Unless she is a few meters apart from it, she will feel this high heat. However, staying a few meters away from Jayna, who could slowly predict her movement is impossible.

Getting annoyed by this situation, "Fine. Don't blame me for this, girl!!" said the beast woman.

Suddenly, the beast woman covers her body with mana and disappears from her sight. *BAAM* The whole arena turns into a big crater with Jayna's last position as the center. In exchange for Jayna in the air, the beast woman punched his fist to the ground.

Seeing this, Angus immediately wants to shout for surrender as he finally finds the true power of the beast woman.

"Angus!!" shouted Jayna as she was still flying in the air.

Communicating through their bond in a split second, Angus couldn't help gritting his teeth and glare at the beast woman. Using his sharp perception, he could feel the beast woman's mana density was actually at the level of sixth grade.

If she is at the fifth-grade level, Angus doesn't need to worry since Jayna could still win with some difficulty. However, the sixth-grade beast race is a different story. Compared to a fifth grade is like comparing an adult and a five-year-old kid in a fight.

Never mind winning the fight, she could even lose her life if the beast woman took the fight seriously from the start. At this moment, the beast woman feels an ominous presence from Angus. She could feel like she was being stared at by death from far away.

*Ehem* Coughed Elder Yawan as he noticed Angus's murderous glare before he reigned his mind and sat on the ground while closing his eyes. He doesn't know if he can control himself while seeing this unfair fight.

He knows Jayna is still surviving and not hurt because the beast woman never takes the fight seriously. But, his girlfriend is also too stubborn and wants to keep fighting to challenge her limit.

"Angus, is big sis going to be okay?" asked Anna in Angus's embrace.

At this moment, Angus notices Anna doesn't have her sneezing anymore and her fever is gone. In exchange, he could feel her mana and miasma circulate fast.

This kind of phenomenon is often found in people who are in the middle of fighting or on high alert. It means Anna is completely ready to fight.

Noticing Anna's worry, "Don't worry, you big sis is strong." said Angus as he patted the little monster's head to calm her down.

"Mmm… Anna loves big sis." replied Anna shortly.

"Yeah." replied Angus back as he looked back at Jayna

While Angus and Anna speak, "Such a terrifying glare, you really have a good mate. Nothing compared to the males in the clan." commented the beast woman leisurely while glaring at her group outside the arena.

Seeing the beast woman piercing glare, all the beast race group's fur stood up while rooted on the spot. They behave like scaredy cats and are ready to run for their life. Noticing this behavior, the beast woman could only release a sigh of disappointment.

"What do you want?" asked Jayna in the air as she planned her next attack.

"Ahh… You finally want to talk. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Merra Napollo, daughter of Warchief Might." said Merra.

"What!! We surren…" shouted the Duchess as soon as she heard the name.

"Aunt, stop!!" yelled Jayna as she stopped her aunt's surrender declaration.

Beast race rarely uses surnames when greeting someone. In their culture, the beast race could only use surnames when they are passing some harsh trials or getting certain recognition by their people. Every beast race with surnames is very strong or important.

As the Beast race has a large diversity, there are a lot of surnames that are bestowed on their people. Among them, Napollo surnames are the most unique as they could only be granted by the Warchief Might Napollo himself.

Warchief Might Napollo is a seventh grade famous for his fight obsession and brutality. Getting recognition from this kind of person is almost impossible unless they have the strength to fight against Warchief Might.

However, Warchief Might is one of the strongest seventh-grade combatants in Firuman. There are rumors he fought against more than one seventh-grade combatant and still came out alive.

If it is not because of his irresponsible nature and battle lust, the whole beast race will unite under one banner a long time ago.

"Did you want to surrender?" asked Elder Yawan to Jayna and her team.

"No, I will continue." replied Jayna shortly before taking a drawing stance in the air.

[Sword Art - Morning Break] *Swishh* Jayna made a quick draw attack and a large charred ground appeared across the battleground.

Unfortunately, Merra already prepared for such a devastating attack long ago.

"Hold on, I don't plan to…" said Merra in a hurry as Jayna's attack suddenly became more dangerous than before.

She could keep playing around if Jayna keeps releasing such terrifying attacks. Unfortunately, Jayna didn't care about her word and launched a few fiery feathers at Merra [Phoenix Rain].

'Shit!! Was she really only eighteen years old and not some kind of old monster?' thought Merra as she ran away across the destroyed battlefield.

While running, she picked up some stones nearby and hit the fiery feather that kept following her. *Booom* *Booom *Booom To her surprise, the fiery feather didn't explode and break through the stone.

At the same time, Jayna keeps launching [Phoenix Rain] while feeling her mana getting consumed rapidly.
