I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

'Such thick mana, they probably have more mana than my chi in my previous life.' thought Angus.

After releasing their mana for a while, both two kings disappear from the spot and clash at the center of the clearing using their own fists. *BAM*

The two fists collided one against another and created a massive shockwave towards the surroundings. The royal palace itself feels like being hit by a huge earthquake.

After the first fist, both of them begin to fight in close combat and create small shockwaves each for each clash. In less than a second, they already exchange thousands of blows.

Fist against fist, kickings, dodging, they didn't even bother to use a skill and only raw power in these thousand clashes. After clashing a while, both of them move back to their previous spot.

"It seems I got a little bit rusty." said King Leon as he flexed his arm.

"Let's take it further, Leon." said King Nexus.

Nexus hand warped with thick bluish mana that seems like a liquid [Water dance - 1st stance]. Approaching King Leon, Nexus's both hands move so fast turn into hundred palm attacks.

Looking at the approaching attack, Leon also takes his own battle stance and coated his two fists with fire elemental mana.

At first, he tried to parry the incoming hundreds of attacks, but all of them were very flexible and fast, making Leon being pushed back by each strike he received.

After a while of getting overwhelmed, King Leon disappears from his spot to dodge King Nexus's punch and appears on his side [Blink].

Appearing on King Nexus's side, he already launched a powerful fist covered in fire elemental towards King Nexus. King Nexus got punched on his side and forced to fly away into the nearby lake direction [Flame Strike]. *BAM*

The enormous fire mana that launched is very thick that burns the surroundings and scorched the Nexus's body trail path until the lake.

"Nexus, don't tell me that's all you got." taunting Leon.

Nexus looks at his side stomach that has a fist and scorched mark on his clothes. The fist mark embedded on his body while there is a trace of a burn mark on its surrounding.

'What a strong punch.' thought Nexus.

"Let me show you the true strength of [Water Dance]." said Nexus while changing his battle stance.

Nexus gathered all the nearby water in his hand and shot it towards Leon [Water Bullet] while doing [Water Dance]. [Water Bullet] that being launched by Nexus has different size, strength, and speed compared to ordinary [Water Bullet]

If an ordinary [Water Bullet] has the size of a ping pong ball or tennis ball at most, Nexus's [Water Bullet] is the same size as a cannonball. As for its speed, even grade six combatants will be having difficulty tracking it.

Despite all these ridiculous attacks, Leon keeps calm and dodges every single one of the [Water Bullet] using [Blink].

"As expected of the strongest human race king to have such mastery of [Blink]. But, keep dodging attacks will not change anything. Eat this!!" said King Nexus.

Nexus compressed a lot of water in his hand and shot it towards Leon. The water turns into a sort of energy beam attack and moves in the blink of an eye towards Leon [Water Jet].

Unexpectedly, King Leon got hit before he could react on his left shoulder. Fortunately, the endurance of seventh-grade combatant's bodies is on a different level. Otherwise, King Leon's entire shoulder will be blown away rather than just broken with some bruises.

'What a deadly attack.' thought Leon.

At this moment, Nexus combines the [Water Dance] while launching [Water Jet] towards Leon. Looking at the Nexus moves, Leon blinks behind Nexus before he could launch another [Water Jet] towards him.

Leon launched another powerful [Flame Strike] to Nexus's back. Noticing the appearance of Leon on his back, Nexus abandoned his current attack and launched his own attack towards Leon on top of the water [Water Dance - 2nd stance].

The water-coated palm managed to redirect the majority of the [Flame Strike] attack. However, [Flame Strike] is a skill to push the entire person or things that are being hit by it.

Once again, Nexus was forced to move backward because of such ridiculous skill and force. Normal combatants will already get blown away into meat paste by such a force.

Still, as a seventh-grade combatant, Nexus managed to resist and was only forced to retread a few meters back.

"Kuhuhu... As expected of King Leon." said King Nexus.

"You are also good, King Nexus. Shall we start getting serious? This warming up begins to get a little bit boring." replied King Leon while taking his sword.

"Yeah.. you are right. Otherwise, this will take forever." said King Nexus, taking out his greatsword.

'That's only warming up.' thought everyone else who spectated the ridiculous exchange between the two kings.

'So, this is the true pinnacle power of this world.' thought Angus excitedly while looking at the two kings above the lake.

After taking their weapon, both of the King's demeanor change and glaring at the other party seriously. Both of the kings know that playtime is over. Once they are careless a little bit, they may get heavily injured.

King Leon once again uses [Blink] and arrives behind Nexus. As Nexus already predicted this, he immediately turned around the moment Leon disappeared.

At this split second, Leon once again use [Blink] and appeared on Nexus side while brandished his sword [King Gladius]

Looking at the incoming attack from his side, Nexus managed to parry Leon's attack in a broken stance. Since he is in a weak stance, Nexus immediately gets pushed back.

Didn't want to let go of such a chance, Leon kept pressuring Nexus with another follow-up strong attack without letting Nexus stabilize himself. *Clang* *Clang* *Clang*

After keep getting pushed back for a while, "Arrghh!! [King's Might]" roared King Nexus.

A blast of mana shot out towards the surrounding area. Using his fast reaction, Leon uses[Blink] to disappear from his spot and appeared a few meters away from Nexus.

However, Nexus was already locked on at Leon's position and pursuing with incredible speed. Nexus brandished his greatsword that coated with blue color [Sword Art - Wave Strike].

Before the attack approaches Leon, he once again uses [Blink] to escape a few meters away from it. Nexus's attack immediately destroyed the nearby hill and decimated its surrounding.

Since Leon only [Blink] few meters away, Nexus immediately pursues Leon again. He believed Leon could not use [Blink] constantly in rapid succession like this.

After being pursued and keep using [Blink] a few times. Leon is sweating and knows he will reach his limit soon. [Blink] skill is a very useful skill but also quite taxing on the user body.

Nexus keeps pursuing him with unimaginable speed. Leon also couldn't use long-distance [Blink] to create some distance as it requires more time and concentration. At this moment, Nexus once again appears in front of Leon while brandishing his greatsword.

'Tch.. I don't want to use this.' thought Leon in a split second.

"[Possesion]" muttered Leon.

A blast of mana came out from the Leon and managed to push back Nexus. Leon's demeanor and aura change. If before it was like a righteous knight, now he feels like a bloodthirsty predator.

Leon looks at Nexus with a crazy smile, "BLOOD!!!" shouted Leon while blinking in front of Nexus and brandished his red blood aura sword [Sword Art - Crimson Slash].

Feeling the danger of the incoming attack, "SILYU!!" shouted Nexus.

A loud horse voice is heard nearby, "Heiighh" and a water torrent envelop the whole Nexus to protect him from Leon's attack [Whirlpool shield].

The two forces collide, one defending and the other is attacking. The blue and red-colored attacks clash and create a devastating shockwave towards the surrounding.

Looking at the incoming huge shockwave, "[3th Circle – Fire Barrier]." as Duke Jacob cast a big fire barrier to the nearby spectator.

The other royal guards also cast their barrier spells to protect themself. Even the barrier defense mechanism of the royal was activated automatically to withstand it. After a while, the shockwave began to settle down.

The view becomes clear and shows the two kings in haggard appearance. Both of them had rough breathing but recovered each second passed by.

"Nexus you are cheating. No wonder you choose this place." said King Leon looking at the water horse beside Nexus.

"Hahaha... You are the one that started it first by using [Possession]. I thought I would get killed for a second there." said King Nexus.

"Like hell, you will get killed by such an attack." said King Leon.

"Still, I never thought you could control that dangerous [Possession] to a certain degree." said King Nexus.

"Well, we all have our own trump cards. Anyway, we should probably end this now." said King Leon while trying to divert the topic.

"Yeah, you are right. We go a little bit overboard in this little spar." replied King Nexus while looking at the surrounding place.

'Tch.. the minister will once again complain about this.' thought King Nexus inwardly.

"Silyu, thanks for the help. You can go back now." said King Nexus towards his familiar.

Hearing his master's command, Silyu went back inside the lake. Then, both of the two kings went back to the royal palace together.
