I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

Feeling Angus's chaotic emotion, his heritage chi also becomes restless and starts moving wildly inside his body. Just as he wanted to calm himself down, a roar was heard not far from him. *GGROOARR*

A few tall, green-skinned monsters approached him from the nearby forest. They have very muscular bodies while holding primitive weapons like wooden clubs, stone axes, and greatswords. Their clothes are also very primitive, like cavemen.

They are the Ogres. The one that recently created chaos in the surrounding Black Forest. Seeing the Ogres, Angus immediately went back to his senses. However, just as he got his bearing, one of the Ogres appeared in front of him. *BAM*

Using its solid wooden club, it directly slammed towards Angus. In the last second, Angus still managed to defend himself. But, he was still getting thrown back a few meters away. *GROOARR* Roaring the Ogre like declaring his victory.

"Kukuku… Is that all?" said Angus while slowly standing up from the ground.

At this moment, all the Ogres feel a chilling aura from Angus.

As Angus walked towards them slowly, "Weak.. So weak.. So weak yet dare to fight me. You must be joking. Hahahaha…" Laugh Angus maniacally.

Hearing Angus's maniac laugh, the ogre once again charged at Angus.

"A.. A.. No more hitting." said Angus before disappearing from the Ogre's vision.

*BAAM* [Dynamic Punch] Suddenly, the ogre gets punched by Angus and thrown dozens of meters away.

Seeing their friend get hit by Angus, the other Ogre roared in anger. *GROOARR* Then, all of them charged at Angus [Wild Charge] [Slam Break] [Brute Slash] [Bloody Edge].

The other Ogres release their respective skills to kill Angus. Contrary to their expectation, all of their attacks missed and could not even touch a single hair of Angus.

"Hoo.. Skill. Let me show you what a true skill looks like. [Beast Walk]." said Angus before charging at the nearest Ogre holding a wooden club.

The Ogre didn't stay idle and immediately slammed his club down. *Bam* At the last second, Angus uses [Rodeo Maneuver] and dodge the incoming wooden club.

Taking out his twin sword, Angus cut the Ogre's hand effortlessly. *Slash* *Sprutt* blood sprouted from the Ogre's hand. *GROOARR* Roared the Ogre in pain.

"Does that hurt? Come on, I am not even starting yet." said Angus while having a maniac smile.

Suddenly, Angus gets surrounded and attacked by the other Ogre. *BLAAMM* the whole ground cracked under Ogre's attack.

"Bohoo.. Party pooper. You should wait your turn patiently." said Angus as he appeared in one of the Ogre with a greatsword.

*Slash* Before, Anyone could react, Angus slashed the Ogre's waist and separated it from his legs using his crimson red twin sword. All of this happens while Angus keeps having a crazed smile.

"Since all of you want to play, let's play!!" said Angus.

Then, Angus starts slashing madly at all the Ogre while keeping a maniac smile. *GROOARR* The Ogres try to fight back, but all of their attacks could easily be dodge by Angus.

Like a mad beast without restraint, Angus kept toying the Ogre while slashing their body. All of the Ogres roared in hurt from Angus's relentless attack. Despite this, Angus didn't finish off the Ogre and continued torturing them by slashing their bodies bit by bit.

*GRROOAARRR* A loud roar was heard from deep in the forest. Suddenly, Angus noticed an incoming attack from above. He instantly used [Beast Walk] and got away from his location. *BOOMM* The entire ground cracked under the attack of the incoming Ogre.

Unlike the other Ogre, This Ogre wears armor and is bulkier than the others. Moreover, It has a thick miasma enveloped its body that shows that it has good control over its miasma. From its aura, Angus knows that it is the fourth-grade Ogre.

Fighting against the Ogre will waste a lot of his strength. Furthermore, he also feels many Ogre coming to this place. Just as he wants to retreat, a flash image happens again in his mind. The feeling of powerlessness and weakness to protect what he loves once again struck him.

"You… Do you think you are strong?!! I'll show you what strong means!!" Shouted Angus before charging at the armored Ogre.

Just as they clashed with each other, Angus' body blurred and turned into many figures at once [Double Step]. The Ogre's surprised at Angus's skill and stopped at one moment. However, this one moment is all he needs to launch his attack [Twin Sword Art - X-Slash].

*Swissh* *Sprrutt* A long X mark appeared on the armored Ogre body. From the wound sprouted another blood showering Angus. Ignoring this, Angus immediately backs away using [Beast Walk]. *Bamm* An Axe wielded by the armored Ogre hit Angus' previous spot.

"Tch.. Too Swallow. As expected of the fourth grade Ogre." said Angus with a maniac smile.

Then, Angus and the armored Ogre charged each other again. They clashed with each other. Angus managed to keep hitting the armored Ogre while it didn't manage to hit the slippery Angus. Still, Angus couldn't truly wound the armored Ogre with his casual attack.

Not only does the Ogre have thick skin, but it is also covered and enhanced by a thick Miasma. It will take a considerable amount of strength to truly wounded the armored Ogre. Still, the armored Ogre body was riddled with many kinds of slash wounds by Angus's attack.

Just as they keep clashing with each other, Angus picks up many groups of Ogre arriving at their location. Some of them even wield bows and throwing spears. Suddenly, the armored Ogre retreated from Angus while groaning. *Grooarr*

As if getting the signal, they launch their arrow and throwing spears at Angus. The projectiles travel at a fast speed towards Angus.

He noticed he couldn't avoid all of them and didn't have enough time to create a strong barrier. At this moment, Angus shoots a few small Firebolts towards the incoming projectile. The Firebolts hit some of the projectiles and stopped them while Angus avoided the others.

"Aren't you ashamed of ganging up on a human?" said Angus while pointing his finger towards the Ogre's archer and spear thrower.

From his finger, Angus shoots a few of his modified Firebolts towards the Ogres. The Firebolts travel fast and hit their eyes. They couldn't dodge it since Angus could control its trajectory. As soon the Firebolt hit their eyes [Firecast - Exploded]. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*

*Grooarrr* the Ogres groaned in pain as their eyes blew up while half of their face charred black. Few of the Ogre even died on the spot as they couldn't withstand Angus's attack. Suddenly, Angus feels an attack coming from his side [Wild Charge]. *BLAAMM*

In the last moment, Angus managed to parry the brute charge from the armored Ogre with his twin sword. Although he managed to parry the attack, he still got pushed back a few meters away.

"Urgh… Why don't you stand still for a moment?!!" said Angus.

While in the middle of parrying, Angus used [Rodeo Maneuver] to get away from the Armored Ogre. At the same time, he used [Double Step] and became many blurry figures. Seeing this, the armored Ogre immediately strengthens his body with Miasma.

It planned to wait for Angus's attack before counterattack. However, this is also a moment for Angus. After clashing with the Armored Ogre for a while, Angus managed to read its battle pattern, even its miasma circulation.

He notices that each time the Ogre defends his body with Miasma, it can't cover his leg properly like his entire body. It is not because it couldn't cover his leg but because controlling miasma to cover it is an arduous task even for veteran combatants.

Using this flaw, Angus immediately swung his twin blade and severed one of its legs while the other was half cut [Twin Sword Art - Scissor Grip]. *Grrooarr* roared the Ogre in pain.

"Tch.. I planned to sever all its legs. But I guess its combat sense warned it. No matter, you are finished." said Angus with a crazed smile.

Just as Angus wanted to finish the armored Ogre, Angus's battle instinct suddenly warned him, and before he noticed, a big green muscular Ogre attacked him from his side. Just as he will get hit, Angus employs his domain at the last second [Domain - Yin Yang Stance]. *BLAMM*

Because of the enormous incoming power and Angus's unprepared stance, he immediately threw back quite far away. On his previous spot, an Ogre with a big fang and body appeared on the spot.

There is a long swallow cutting wound on its body from Angus' retaliation at the last moment. Still, this cutting wound is healed at a fast rate.

Like the armored Ogre, the new incoming Ogre covered its body with thick miasma. But, it is many times denser and stronger than armored Ogre.

"*Cough* *Cough* Kuhukk.. my.. my.. what a wonderful day. First, they try to gang up on me. Now, there is even a fifth-grade Ogre trying to kill me." said Angus as he spat blood from his mouth.

"But… Do you think this is enough to stop me!! Let me show why I am called the strongest in my previous life." said Angus before taking a battle position.
