I Just want a Peaceful life

"This is going to be troublesome." muttered Angus solemnly.

Angus notices the elf can somehow hit all the weak points of the incoming spells and break them. It not only requires fast movement but also a very precise movement to do it.

Even Angus couldn't replicate that action without getting overwhelmed and exhausted. Yet, he found the elf didn't look tired at all, be it physically or mentally.

'Is it a precognition and defense mechanism ability?' thought Angus as he started to [Analyze] the elf's previous movement.

"What a surprise? I didn't know you were also an accomplished magician. Launching that many third-grade spells at once. I believe only those who reach seventh grade could do it." said the elf with a taunting tone.

"Say someone who could only defend himself." taunted Angus back.

"I plan to not finish it too quickly, but if you insist on it. I don't mind it, " said the elf, swinging his sword and approaching Angus.

The elf swords are enveloped by thick invisible wind elemental before he releases in the form of a flying slash to Angus [Wind Dance 1st step - Casual Curve]. *Swish* *Swish* *Swish*

Like already predicting the incoming attack, Angus sidesteps to dodge the attack while countering with his flying slash. Unlike the elf's flying slash, which is invisible and instantaneous, Angus's flying slash could still be seen and dimly lit like molten iron.

It also leaves melting anything on its path, be it the hard ground or the destroyed stone platform. After a few moments of countering each other's flying slash, Angus and the elf fight in close combat.

In a few seconds, they exchanged a hundred blows without getting any upper hand. As they keep clashing, Angus suddenly notices the elf using a different battle pattern and stance. [Thunder Dance 1st step - Flash Impact]. *Bang* *BOOOM*

Using his honed instinct, Angus immediately retreated by utilizing [Beast Walk] to lessen the damage and force. But he still likes getting hit by a bullet train. Angus threw back far away and had a wounded slash on his chest.

"Seriously? You even survive against it. No means to pry, but are you sure you are just a human boy?" said the elf as Angus survived her attack.

Angus didn't reply but looked at the elf stoically before returning with a smile.

"Alright, you got me pretty good. So, what's your name Mr. Elf?" asked Angus.

"Finally. And here I thought you would not take me seriously after all that. It's a shame to bury someone as powerful like you as a nameless person." said the elf.

Although there are various customs and cultures in Firuman, there is still a universal ethic and unwritten law about dueling. When two people are fighting each other and putting everything on the line, they need to introduce their names as a sign of respect to other people.

Not giving their name to their opponent also means not acknowledging their opponent. This is one of the universal unwritten that Angus agrees on as it is similar to his past life.

Whether it is a friend or the most hated person, they introduce themself when fighting someone they acknowledge. It is quite ironic that there is more respect and understanding in the most violent situation than in a peaceful case.

"You could call me Silvan." introduced the elf while doing the elf's noble greeting.

"Then, call me Angus Victory." replied Angus.

During this banter, the wound in Angus' chest had already healed as his mana also regenerated significantly. His combination of special breathing, soul reserve, and mana core make his regeneration more absurd.

It is not just one plus two, but they are superimposed one with each other and give Angus high mana regeneration. Silvan also noticed this change but didn't seem to mind it as taking another battle stance.

'That stance… It seems I was right. It is not precognition but some sort of danger-sense ability combined with an automatic defense mechanism. Huft… This is going to be a hard battle.' thought Angus inwardly before glancing at Jayna, who was on the verge of crying.

He gives Jayna a reassuring smile momentarily before focusing back on Silvan. During this moment of distraction, Silvan approaches Angus while brandishing his sword. The elf no longer held back and used much-concentrated mana in his swords.

[Storm Dance 1st step - Roaring Shock] *BOOOM* A flash of bright light covered the area before a loud booming sound was heard, along with a shockwave. Seeing the deadly attack, Jayna regrets her previous decision and feels like breaking apart.

However, her senses also know that Angus is still surviving and moving far away from the spot. Currently, Angus is standing inside the lava while looking at the disaster in front of him solemnly.

Before the attack lands on Angus, he uses [Flame Blink] and arrives in the middle of the lava pool. [Flame Blink] works more when there is more fire mana in the area destination. This is also why Angus created this large lava pool and burned the surrounding area.

He didn't want the elf to have any advantage over the territory and change it to his own. Besides destroying the possible sneak attack on the stone platform, Angus also created his own battlefield to his advantage.

"Such power. If I get a direct hit, I will disappear without a trace." commented Angus while his leg submerged in the lava pool.

*Swish* Suddenly, Silvan approaches him rapidly while lightning and wind elementals envelop his swords. [Storm Dance 2nd step - Mach Blow] *BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM* Silvan makes a thousand piercing attacks at once.

The piercing attack turns into a large-scale bullet containing sharp wind and destructive lightning elemental. Facing such a devastating attack, Angus just stayed until the last moment.

"Finally, I got it!!" said Angus.

Suddenly, Angus swings his twin swords casually and disperses the incoming attack. *Swish* *Bzzztss*

"You are not the only one that could attack the weak point." said Angus playfully before launching his own attack.

At this moment, Angus' sword is covered in lightning and wind along with the initial burning [Firestorm Dance 1st step - Arc Burst]. *Swish* Angus suddenly disappears, leaving a trace of lightning on his path. The moment he appeared, he was already on Silvan's back.

"H-How.. Did you?!" said Silvan before a strong fire pillar burst from Silva's surroundings.

*BOOOM* The fire pillar, wind, and lightning elemental erupted, destroying anything it touched. On the other hand, Angus is sweating while on his knee. His last move is not only to copy Silva's skill but also to improve it.

Angus' talent in martial arts makes him capable of understanding any skill with a glance. Combined with [Analyze] and his superb mind, He not only utilizes the skill perfectly but also improves it.

Using Archmage Bern's elemental transmutation, he produced the lightning and wind elemental to put it on his attack. This attack relies heavily on his mana control and body capability.

Still, it takes everything from him since combining three elements requires a lot of mana to balance it without hurting him.

"Huft.. Huft… What the… You must be kidding me." said Angus as he could still feel Silvan's presence inside the fire pillar.

*Swoosh* Suddenly, the burning fire pillar extinguished and revealed Silvan with a helmet covering his face and menacing bright blue eyes.

"I don't know how you did or got that style, but you are seeking your death by using it." said Silvan menacingly.

*Swish* Similar to Angus' previous attack, Silvan disappeared from his spot and appeared beyond Angus' back. Wounds and cutting slash start to cover Angus' body, along with the elemental spark that slowly rampages in his body.

"[Disaster Dance 1st step - Nature's Doom]." muttered Silvan coldly.

*BOOOM* Suddenly, a strong explosion appeared from Angus' location. Looking at this, Jayna immediately called Angus worriedly while crying. In contrast, Anna is suddenly giving an excited and happy smile.

"Angus won." said Anna in a low voice.

Just as the explosion covered his whole body, an invisible dome erupted from Angus and covered the surrounding area. It is like the time inside this dome has stopped. Below the dome is a complex magic diagram with the big yin yang in the center [Domain - Yin Yang Reverse].

Magically, Angus and Silvan's bodies suddenly exchanged along with all the injuries that Angus' received before. *BOOOM* The explosion continues and turns into a gigantic firestorm. Angus could feel all the basic elementals inside this attack.

It destroys Silvan's body from the inside. This time Sylvan didn't have time to defend against the attack as it came from inside his body. Jayna, who is already running to the field, is surprised at the sudden twist but still hugs the exhausted Angus tightly.

"I am sorry.. I am sorry… I should have…" said Jayna while crying.

"Hush… It's fine. I already won anyway." said Angus to reassure his girlfriend.

A moment later, the burning firestorm slowly recedes. Jayna and Angus immediately search for Sylvan, whose life breath almost diminishes.

"T-This… a woman elf?!" exclaimed Jayna in surprise.

In Silvan's place, a beautiful elf lay half-naked while various complex runes were on her body. The runes dimly lit and showed the sign of wavering.
