Chapter 611 Unexpected Reunion
"Mmm." replied Mira with a nod.
Angus couldn\'t help but massage his head for Mira\'s behavior. He even guesses that she visited here without informing Darren or the other Vampire King like usual.
Still, Angus wasn\'t surprised since he knew Mira\'s nature. In fact, he knows Mira is like a disaster. Coming without notice and creating a lot of trouble before leaving.
\'Well, at least Anna will not be sad and have a playmate for the time being.\' thought Angus inwardly while seeing Anna making weird conversation with Mira like usual.
The little monster kept talking non-stop, using strange words like bam, woosh, or sudden laugh. Like before, the silver-haired girl only nodded and occasionally said a word or two.
At this moment, Angus realizes something and finds it is an excellent opportunity to take care of the Moon Rabbit.
"*Cough* Anna, I hear there are some naughty rabbits around here." said Angus.
"Fluffy meat?! Where? Where?!" asked Anna excitedly while drooling.
"This little gluttony… No, you can\'t eat them. They are similar to the talking rabbits you caught before." said Angus.
"Ehh… Anna can\'t eat fluffy meat?! Anna is sad. Anna is going to die of hunger. Huhuhu…" said Anna while acting pitiful.
"Alright.. Alright.. Enough with the fake tear. I will give you some rabbit meat later if you catch the naughty rabbits like before." said Angus.
"Really?!! Promise??" asked Anna excitedly.
"Yeah. Just don\'t leave the Fortress." replied Angus.
"Yay.. Yay.. Mira, let\'s find them. Wissy! Wissy!!" said Anna while hopping into Mira\'s flying pillow.
Before Angus could respond, they were already moving far away on the horizon.
"Just to be sure. I warned them not to leave the Fortress, right?" asked Angus to Jayna beside him.
"*Giggle* You did." replied Jayna with a smile.
They know Anna leaves the Fortress but also disappears from their perception range.
"Don\'t worry, they will be fine. Besides, I believe they will be back during mealtime." Jayna reassures Angus.
"Since she is with Mira, I doubt something could happen to her. Anyway, we should also prepa…" said Angus.
Before Angus could finish his sentence, he noticed a strong space fluctuation nearby. *Whoosh* A familiar silver-haired old man appeared out of thin air in a moment.
"Huft… Huft… I am getting old." said Darren.
"Ahh… Young Baron Angus, Princess Jayna, We meet again." greeted Darren after taking a deep breath.
"Welcome, Master Darren. I don\'t think we will meet again so soon." replied Angus politely.
"Hohoho… Me too. But, as you already know, Master is truly… unpredictable. Hmm… It seems she is already going out playing with Lady Anna." said Darren.
"Yeah, they are leaving just now. Did you come here to take back Master Mira?" asked Angus curiously.
"And risk getting bald again?" replied Darren with a smile.
"Hahaha… Right. Anyway, I heard the news about someone attacking a religious group not too long ago. Is it you?" said Angus blatantly.
"Hohoho… Young Baron Angus, I didn\'t think you would be this blunt. But it doesn\'t matter. Yes, it is us. Actually, it is my friend Vlad doing it. The moment he knew about Master getting ambushed, he decided to lead an army to attack them." said Darren.
"Though I might lend him a little bit of help. Is there something wrong with it, Young Baron Angus?" added Darren.
"Nah.. I just hope that you leave some for me. I believe I already gave those religious groups enough warning before. Yet, they are still looking for trouble. It seems I don\'t have a choice but to get my hands a little bit dirty." said Angus with a cold tone.
Noticing Angus\' hidden killing intent behind Angus\'s calm face, Darren couldn\'t help but smile.
\'As expected of the Anomaly, to have such a maddening bloodlust but still in control. Perhaps that\'s why monster-minded like Anna are attracted to him in the first place.\' thought Darren inwardly.
"Speaking of this, it seems we come at a peculiar moment." said Darren while glancing at the vast, cloudy Humnia Grassland.
At the same time, King Andvari and Jade stop clashing with each other before looking toward Windshire Fortress. They feel sharp predator eyes looking at them. However, these predatory eyes just observe them without any malicious intent.
King Andvari notices these predatory eyes have the same aura as the Vampire King he met in the Craghost town.
\'Did the Heart ask the Eternal Kingdom for help?\' thought King Andvari warily.
Seeing Jade\'s worried expression, \'No. It seems Jade himself also did not know about this Vampire King. This may be an opportunity.\' thought King Andvari.
"Hahaha… It seems you are worried about your rear." taunted King Andvari.
Jade didn\'t reply, just released a deep sigh before staring back at King Andvari.
"True, I may be worried about them. But, also trust those brats. Besides, I couldn\'t leave an old fox like you alone." said Jade.
"Fine. Have it your way. It is your fortress, not mine. Maybe it is your retribution for destroying our fortress." replied King Andvari playfully.
"Hmph!!" replied Jade in a cold tone.
The surrounding area\'s temperature suddenly became hotter. Even the wet area behind Andvari also dried up. King Andvari feels like he is standing in front of a volcano crater filled with burning lava.
Suddenly, Jade throws his Crimson Orb toward King Andvari. *BANG* King Andvari parries the orb with difficulty using his lion-head mace. After fighting for a while, he realizes Jade\'s Crimson Orb is very powerful. He knows it is many times stronger than his artifact.
Fortunately, Jade still has yet to fully develop Crimson Orb. Therefore, Andvari can fight back only by using his artifact. Otherwise, his fight will be harder and he needs to use all his trump cards early.
The battle between the two seventh grade is very complex, especially if they have similar strengths. One single mistake could easily turn the situation around. Still, killing seventh grade is very hard. However, forcing the opponent seventh grade to retreat is still possible.
"Hmm… What a strong sentient weapon. If it could be fully developed into an artifact, it would definitely rival those dangerous artifacts. Anyway, I will excuse myself first. I cannot leave Master unattended for too long." said Darren before disappearing from his spot.
"Well, that\'s certainly unexpected." said Angus.
"Yeah. I never expected to meet Mira and Master Darren again so soon." replied Jayna.
"This may be good news since Anna may not be involved in the war. But, we should prepare. Aunt Extalia may not send us to the battlefield. Still, we should be ready in case of an emergency." said Angus to Jayna.
"Sure. I hope I can just burn those Nergal and be done with this war." said Jayna while her eyes changed into fiery phoenix eyes.
Seeing this, Angus immediately gives a gentle pat to Jayna. He knows Jayna is starting to get affected by all the negative emotions on the battlefield.
Although there is a considerable distance between the battlefield and the fortress, Jayns could still feel all those negative emotions. At this moment, a flash of red light appeared near them.
"Angus, Jayna, who was here? I feel a strong spike of mana fluctuation just now." said Aunt Extalia in worry.
"Ohh.. It is Master Darren. Mira is here to play with Anna. Now, they should hunt those Moon Rabbits outside." said Angus casually.
Hearing Angus\' explanation, Aunt Extalia immediately has a poker face before walking away. It is like she didn\'t hear any of Angus\' answers.
"Err.. Aunt Extalia?!" called Angus in worry.
"Ahh... I must be stressed by the war lately." said Aunt Extalia before running away.
"Pfftt… Hahaha. I never thought Aunt Extalia\'s reaction would be like that. It is like she is running from reality." laughed Jayna.
"Hahaha… That\'s true. Well, everyone will be like that if someone who could kill God suddenly visits your place to play." said Angus.
"Still, I think this war is almost reaching a conclusion. I will enter deep meditation in case it turns into the worst case. Wake me up if Aunt Extalia is leaving for the battlefield." said Angus before sitting under the nearby tree.
"Sure." replied Jayna shortly.
Before entering mediation to cultivate his chi, Angus decided to check his status.
Host: Angus Victory
Age: 18 Years Old
MP: 742/742 -> 763/763
Chi: 1032 -> 534
Heritage chi: ???
Strength: 59 -> 60
Dexterity: 57 -> 58
Intelligence: 56 -> 57
Vitality: 57 -> 58
Soul Point: 324.997 -> 306.118
Soul Reserve: 928 -> 1327
(A.N: The time comparison is around 2 weeks)
Seeing his stat, he feels like this system is encouraging him to get into a hard battle. Not to mention the massive increase in his soul reserve, his mana suddenly increasing by 20 points.
It is known he needs around a few months just to increase his mana point by ten naturally. Yet, a single life-and-death fight inside the dungeon could boost him by twenty points.
\'No wonder everyone said life and death battles could make people stronger.\' thought Angus.
Besides the massive increase in the mana, Angus also feels his body regeneration becomes more ridiculous as his Soul Reserve reaches more than 1300. Even his last severe injury from the twin swords\' side effect is completely healed in less than hours.
