Chapter 622 Escalated Battle

"You goddamn right, brat!!" said Xifor.

Hearing this, Elder Zeth immediately rushed toward Xifor. *WHOOSHH* *BAAM* Suddenly, Xifor releases an incredible amount of pure mana toward the surrounding area and forces him back.

"This mana… Who is he?!!" said Elder Zeth while stabilizing himself.

On the other hand, Angus didn't have any luxury to stay idle either, as Xifor had already arrived in front of him and swung his fist.

'Fast!!.' thought Angus as he countered Xifor with his fist [Focus Punch].

*BOOOM* A massive shockwave breakout to the surrounding area, the moment the two fists collide with each other. The hard training ground is cracking and slowly breaking apart from the shock.

*Krrtt* Despite using full-power, Angus can still not force back Xifor. It's been a while since someone withstands his full-power punch. Even the old Dwarf Balrug is already unable to resist his own punch.

Although many people have more physical power than Angus, few could match his full power punch at his current strength. Unless it is a seventh-grade or sixth-grade combat expert, no one could easily match Angus in punching power.

Angus' punch is not only related to his physical strength but also speed, technique, mana, and control. Since he mastered all of these attributes to perfection, he could release a devastating moment at the right time.

Noticing Angus manage to parry his fist, Xifor grins more wildly before swinging a fast kick forward *Swiish*. In response, Angus used [Rodeo Maneuver] to dodge the kick to turn sideways.

Unexpectedly, the casual fast kick cut the training ground like butter to the nearby wall. Using the buffer time after such a big attack, Angus decides to attack Xifor again.

At this moment, Xifor's foot rises high into the sky before coming down faster than his previous attack. *BOOOMMM* The whole training ground turned into shambles. Even the barrier enchantment breaks and shakes some parts of the fortress.

This big movement immediately alerted everyone, especially Jade and Duchess Amberblaze. In contrast to this, Angus and Xifor ignore the surroundings and continue their fight. Fist, leg, knee, elbow, they keep launching attacks without stopping.

*Bam* *Bam* *Bam* Each clash creates a strong shockwave and prevents the others from getting closer. During their exchange, Angus notices Xifor's body is slowly bleeding out and injured from their exchange.

However, Xifor's expression gets crazier while laughing madly. Angus feels like fighting a battle crazed untamed beast. He feels like he is facing a beast that only knows how to fight to quench its thirst.

At some point, Xifor retreated at some distance before crossing his hand in front of him. Angus immediately feels death looming over him. Without hesitation, he pointed his fist into each other in front of his chest and made a defensive stance.

"[Beastman Art 1st Fang - Ursaring]!!" muttered Xifor.

"[Absolute Diamond]!!" said Angus, along with Xifor.

In a split second, the time seemed to stop before Xifor disappeared and reappeared behind Angus. At the same time, Angus' clothes are shredded into countless pieces while his body is unharmed. Then, both Angus and Xifor slump on his knees with ragged breaths.

Angus's body is trembling while his muscle is overtaxed from his defensive skill.

'Urghh… This is why I hate using this skill.' thought Angus while trying to calm down his spasm muscle.

"Angus!!" called Jayna from afar in worry.

In contrast to Jayna, Anna is jumping around happily while shouting something like, "Go! Go! Angus!! Burst him!!".

During this moment, he also notices Aunt Extalia and Uncle Jade are arriving at the destroyed training ground.

'At least, it is over now.' thought Angus.

"Kukuku… Brat, you are strong. I never thought you were this strong with your age." said Xifor while he was covered in his own blood.

Angus could see almost all his veins and muscles ruptured. If it is not healed properly, he will become a cripple for the rest of his life.

"Who are you?!" asked Angus.

"You know exactly who I am, " said Xifor, madly grinning.

"You are insane. Do you not care about your current host life?" asked Angus.

"Hah!! Why should I care about weakling?! Listen here, brat! Unless you beat me, I will never hand over my daughter!! Eat this [Lion's Song]!!" said Xifor before roaring loudly.

*GGRROOOARR* In a moment, a dangerous lion silhouette appeared behind Xifor before releasing a shockwave roar towards Angus. [Fire Assault - Tenebralis Slash] [Meteorite Smash]

Before the shockwave reaches Angus, Duchess Amberblaze and Jade already counter it with their own attack. *BOOOM* The attacks clash with each other and destroy the surrounding. After a while, the attack subsided and revealed the destroyed scene.

Because of their destructive attack, some part of the fortress is destroyed. Even the massive outer wall also slightly cracked. This shows the powerful force contained in Xifor's last attack.

On the other hand, Xifor's body couldn't hold out the last attack and exploded into pieces of meat. Seeing the dead Xifor, Jade and Duchess could only shake their heads. Using their intelligence and previous report from King Leon, they know the person behind this attack.

Still, they never thought the Warchief Might Napollo would approach Angus in this roundabout way rather than coming directly like usual.

"Tch… What a mess! It seems I need to stay here longer." grumbled the Duchess after seeing the destruction.

"*Clap* *Clap* Alright, move along everyone. Tend the injured and clean up this mess!!" ordered Jade to others.

In the meantime, Angus immediately gets hugged by the worried Jayna.

"Angus, are you okay?! Did you get hurt?" asked Jayna in worry.

Despite already knowing Angus is not injured at all through her perception, she is still somehow worried about Angus.

"Jayna, I am fine. I'm just a little bit low on mana." said Angus while calming down his girlfriend.

"Really?" asked Jayna again.

"Yup. Besides, you know what my body is capable of. This kind of injury is nothing to me." reassured Angus.

"Fine. So, what is this daughter he is talking about?!" asked Jayna with a cold tone.

Seeing Jayna change behavior, Angus could only twitch and sigh at his beloved girlfriend. Luckily, Aunt Extalia and Jade rescue him and divert the topic.

"Brat, can you stop making trouble and destroy the kingdom's property?! I know you are rich, but you couldn't just destroy stuff." complained Aunt Extalia.

"Hahaha… Kid, you're still a troublemaker, as usual. Anyway, you get lucky to survive against Warchief Might, even if it is not his real body. His combat prowess is the real deal." said Jade.

"Agreed. His combat technique is actually off-chart, which makes me curious about you. Did you plan to have a light spar with me, kid?" chimed Akiye from the side.

"Master Akiye?!!" called Aunt Extalia sternly.

"Hahaha… I am just joking. No need to be so serious. Besides, I can't make trouble for Nabe's friend. Otherwise, I may end up as her genuine pig without knowing." said Akiye.

"Anyway, I already told you everything you need to know. So, I will excuse myself. Please take care of my cute girls." said Akiye before jumping into the air.

Seeing the disappearing Akiye, Aunt Extalia could only release a deep frustrated sigh before looking at the sky in silence. No one knows what she is thinking.

"Angus!! That's so cool! It is like boom then blarr and swish!!" said Anna, jumping around on Mira's flying pillow.

At the same time, some people also approach Angus. Among them are Benjamin, Lily, Brigida, and the five Seven Faces girls. As for Elder Zeth, he is busy helping the injured soldiers. Fortunately, most soldiers here are pretty strong and only get light injuries.

Otherwise, it will be a hassle if someone accidentally dies in this event. Noticing the others, Angus finds Lilith actually holding her own bow and shows vigilance to the surrounding. He remembers her taking out her bow and shooting some toward Xifor during his fight.

Unfortunately, her mana arrow is too weak to withstand the shockwave and gets destroyed instead. Moreover, Angus and Xifor only happen in a few minutes. They also move around rapidly without stopping until the last moment.

Although Lilith's help is useless, he still appreciates her help since, rather than trembling in fear from the mana Xifor's release, she actually decides to stand still and fight. Still, he can't do anything to reciprocate her feelings.

His heart and vision were already entirely occupied by two girls. One is his beloved mate and the other is the naughty cute daughter. Still, he is not completely heartless and says his thanks to Lilith.

"Thanks for your help, Lilith." thanked Angus.

"It's nothing. I couldn't even strike him down." replied Lilith in a gloomy tone.

"Pfft… Angus, Big Sis Disgust is funny." said Anna.

"Hmm??" asked Angus in confusion.

"This Big Sis Disgust thinks she could burst Mighty Lion. Big Sis Disgust is so silly. Did Big Sis Disgust copy Angus' silliness? Such a Dumb Dumb." said Anna while shaking her head.

Mocked by Anna, Lilith couldn't help but get angry inwardly. However, she couldn't retort to Anna. She knows Anna is a very dangerous creature.

It is best not to provoke it. Besides, deep down, she knows what Anna said is true. She is too arrogant to think she could shoot down Warchief Might even if it is not his real body.
