I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 200: Final Match

The spy found a few people from different villages gathered near the desert area. Then, the spy decided to go back towards Abet, reporting about the situation. Didn't believe in this, Abet decided to investigate by himself.

Arriving at the location, Abet didn't find the other villages like the spy told, but he found a few complicated runes enveloping the big area using his sharp sense. He realizes this rune hides an area.

Abet didn't know what is inside the hidden area, but he is confident the others could see through the outside. Fortunately, Abet is also cautious and uses camouflage skills to hide his body while inspecting the area.

Otherwise, he will be found by the other party and probably killed. Knowing this, Abet decides to come back and report towards the clan leader.

Hearing the detailed story, 'It seems the other villages finally decide to group up to destroy us.' thought Jade inwardly.

After a while, "Jane, what do you think?" asked clan head Jade towards her eldest daughter.

"I think the other villages only decide to have temporary cooperation in handling us. It is impossible for them to work together with their past relationship." replied Jane.

"I agree. However, their temporary cooperation is also something we could not handle. Furthermore, they must have an excellent rune enchanter to hide their entire army from the surrounding. It means they may already lay various traps on our way." said Gilford.

"I see.. In other words, we can't avoid a confrontation." said Jade.

"Yeah, since they already prepared this much, they will not let their plan be foiled easily." said Jane.

Hearing this, all the few people inside the tent become gloomy. Although the Sur Village is strong, they could never fight the combination strength from the other four villages. It is basically a loss before the battle starts.

After being silent for a while, "How about we ask for help from the hidden group? No matter what, the other villages wouldn't dare to touch the hidden group, right?" said Gilford.

"No, we can't. You may not know this. But, the hidden group will never interfere with the other village's conflict unless it is inside a few special sites like in the ancestral ruin." replied Jade.

After thinking for a while, "Haa… My dear nephew, Angus. It seems I can accompany you towards the exit. After your final match tomorrow, escape immediately with Lady Jayna from here."

"I bet the other villages already notice that you two are outsiders by now. They will not try to involve you too much since their real target is us." said Jade solemnly.

Hearing this, Angus thought for a moment, "Uncle, what are you going to do then?"

"Hmph… Of course, we are going to fight. We will give them the taste of hell." said Jade as his blonde hair rose from his erratic mana.

"I see. Then, I am sorry, uncle. I will also stay." said Angus.

"You what? Nephew Angus, you may be a genius, but this is a fight you can't handle. There will be dozens of high-grade combatants on the other side." said Jade.

"I know. But I simply can't abandon you all. Although it is a short time, I kind of like Sur village. Besides, we are not completely hopeless yet." said Angus.

"Cousin, did you have any plans?" asked Gilford, who noticed that Angus seems to have a plan already.

"I am not quite sure yet. There is still too much uncertainty and many things to do. First, how long until the ancestral ruin area closes?" asked Angus.

"It will be closed in about two weeks." replied Gilford.

"Hmm… It should be enough. You said they lay a few trap runes, right? Actually, I am also an enchanter." said Angus.

"As long as it is not a complicated rune, I could immediately disable or modify them given some time. Moreover, I also have that to help me." added Angus while looking towards Gilford.

"That?? you mean ancient power? That's right, given enough time combined with ancient power, you could turn back their trap towards them without their notice." said Gilford.

"Still.. that didn't change the fact we need to fight dozens of high-grade combatants at once." said Jade.

"Then, how about we... " said Angus as he told them his plan.

After a long discussion, "Although there is still a risk, it is not as hopeless as before. At least this way, we could still fight back and retread safely. Angus, are you sure you don't want to escape?" asked Jade again.

"Nah, besides, you are my patient, and I still need to heal that disgusting wound. Anyway, let's start the medication for today." said Angus.

"Urgghh.. can we just do it tomorrow?" replied Jade.

"No, can't do. Besides, the faster you get used to after the medication process, the stronger power you could bring out in the battle." said Angus with an evil smile.

"Alright. Alright…" said Jade, giving up his attempt to run away.

After that, like usual, a series of pained screams were heard from the clan head tent. Soon, time passed, in the next day, Jane, the eldest daughter of Jade, started to instruct the clansmen to procure a few things.

As for Angus himself, he has a final match to attend today. The clan head Jade also comes along with his sons and Jayna to look at Angus's match and not make the other party notice their plan.

Angus also told Jayna about their current situation when he came back to his tent. After telling the story, Angus told Jayna to prepare to have a fierce fight for the next two weeks.

At first, Angus wanted Jayna not to get involved in this dangerous battle. However, he also knows her stubborn personality, especially about this. So, he could only help her get stronger before the battle begins.

He also believes in her phoenix ability. An ordinary combatant will have a hard time handling her. So, he decided to let her join the battle to improve her experience.

One of the major reasons Jayna lost in her last fight is the difference in experience between her and Ice Maiden.

This large-scale battle will increase her combat experience. Furthermore, Jayna with [Hellfire] could become an unstoppable force, even fighting a few ordinary high-grade combatants.

Arriving at the Battlefield Arena, Angus and the others could see there were already many people gathering in the audience seat waiting for the final match to start. Angus also found that the Ice Maiden was already waiting for him near the arena.

"Then, I will go first." said Angus, excusing himself.

"Yeah, beat her up for me." said Jayna.

After saying goodbye to others, Angus went towards the arena and signed the contract to complete the procedure.

Without delay, the two last contestants come into the middle of the arena. Unlike yesterday, both of them were already wearing their equipment for the fight and didn't need more time to prepare.

The arena is also already fixed to normal, unlike yesterday which was riddled with quicksand, freezing fields, melting ground, etc.

While waiting for the arena barrier to be completely erect, "Let's fight to our heart's content." said Angus.

However, Ice Maiden only gives him a silent glare as a reply. Soon, the barrier completely covered the whole arena perimeter.

"The final match… Begin." yelled the announcer with the referee.

As soon as the match begins, Angus immediately uses [Multicast] and casts two spells at once [2nd Circle - Fire Oil] [2nd Circle - Flame Wave]. At the same time, Ice Maiden also start cast a spell. *BOM*

A series of fire waves are coming towards Ice Maiden while at the same time being enhanced by the Fire Oil to increase its burning. Before this burning wave came towards Ice Maiden, a thick wall of ice appeared in front of her [2nd Circle - Ice Wall].

Ice Maiden seems to predict that Angus will attack her the moment the fight begins. However, she still underestimates Angus's attack. Because of the Fire Oil, the fire keeps burning on the ground and slowly melts the strong Ice Wall.

Still, Ice Maiden let this be and decided to cast another spell towards Angus [2nd Circle -? Frostbolt]. A series of Frostbolt coming from the Ice wall and flying towards Angus.

At this moment, Angus seems to be chanting something and decides to dodge the incoming Frostbolt. Hearing the chanting, Ice Maiden's expression became solemn.

She immediately tries to disrupt Angus's chant using another spell-like water torrent. But, to her surprise, Angus managed to dodge it by hairbreadth while keeping his chanting.

After a while, "Come forth and burn my enemy… [3rd Circle - Fire Wyrm]" yelled Angus as he cast his father's favorite spell.

*ROOARR* a Fire Wyrm appeared from the burning field and charged towards Ice Maiden. In a moment, the Ice Wall already breaks from the Fire Wyrm charge.

Ice Maiden couldn't help but retreat from the strong Fire Wyrm charge. During this time, Angus also did not stay idle and shot a few firebolts towards Ice Maiden, who still focuses on Fire Wyrm. *Bum* *Bum* *Bum*

Before the attack manages to hit her, a blue mana barrier envelops her and protects her from the incoming Firebolt. Seeing this, Ice Maiden decided to deal with Fire Wyrm first. She takes out her wooden staff and bashes it at the incoming Fire Wyrm [Frost Strike].
