I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

As soon as Angus takes the battle stance, the fifth grade Ogre charges at Angus once again [Wild Charge]. *GRROOARR* At once, the Ogre travels fast and arrives in front of Angus. Unlike before, Angus is already ready for him.

[Shadow Step] *Whoshh* Angus becomes blurry and turns into many figures at once. This surprised the Ogre, but he didn't stop and kept attacking at the nearest Angus's figure. Just as he touches the figure, he feels like touching the air.

[Twin Sword Art - Scissor Grip] *Slash* Angus tried to cut the Ogre's leg, but unlike with the Armored Ogre, its skin is tough and thick. He could only wound its surface skin. Seeing this, Angus immediately backs away and dodges the incoming wooden club from the Ogre.

'Tch.. What a hard skin.' thought Angus.

At this moment, the Ogre charged again at Angus and didn't want to give him any time.

"Hoo… You want to play that way. Come on!!" yelled Angus.

*Bam* *Bam* *Bam* *Bam* Both Angus and the Ogre begin to clash at fast speed. Slashing, punching, kicking, smashing, they keep attacking each other at high speed with the intention to kill each other.

The other Ogre could only see blurry figures in the middle of the wasteland that kept producing shockwaves towards the surroundings. While Angus keeps fighting madly with the Fifth grade Ogre, a human scout arrives at the location.

'What the hell is happening there?!! Who is the one that is fighting the fifth-grade Ogre to a standstill? I need to tell the general about this right away.' thought the scout before escaping from the scene silently.

*GROOOARR* The fifth-grade Ogre suddenly released [Miasma Blast] at point-blank range towards Angus. The entire area in front of the Ogre turned into a charred wasteland. However, using his superb movement skill, Angus once again managed to dodge the attack.

Currently, both of them have a bloody appearance. The fifth grade Ogre's body was riddled with various kinds of swallow and burning wounds. On the contrary, Angus also bathed in blood, but it is not his own blood rather the blood of Ogre he was slain before.

During the confrontation with the fifth grade Ogre, Angus may not be able to damage it, but he also didn't receive any attack. Just as Angus and the fifth grade Ogre want to clash again, many fast projectiles come towards Angus while the other Ogre approach him.

He finds a few new incoming Ogres arrive at the spot. Angus couldn't help but dodging at the projectile while fighting the fifth-grade Ogre.

"Annoying!! Draven goes on a rampage!! Kill them all!!" shouted Angus.

Suddenly, below the Ogre that is using a projectile weapon, a sharp spike made of shadow punctures all their heads at once. *Grooarr* This scene surprises the new incoming Ogre and becomes vigilant at the surroundings.

However, Draven is very elusive and fast. He keeps moving while injuring the surrounding Ogre. As Angus's familiar, Draven has a strong connection with Angus. Therefore Angus's bloodthirsty emotion also affects Draven to go on rampage being merciless.

In the meantime, Angus and the fifth-grade Ogre go back to clashing with each other.  *Bam* *Bam* *Bam* *Bam* At this time, Angus noticed his mana getting low despite his monstrous regeneration and his third-grade mana core.

After reaching third-grade mana core, Angus only needs to use half mana to achieve the same effect of skills and spells as in second grade. In other words, Angus's current mana consumption is half of what it was before.

Still, having a high-speed battle with the fifth-grade Ogre depletes his mana faster than he could regenerate. Without having another choice, he decided to gamble and go all out.

"Eat this!! [2nd Circle - Fireball]." yelled Angus as he threw a few Fireballs towards the incoming Ogre.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* The fireball's explosion didn't stop the Ogre for a moment and it kept charging at Angus. Angus dodges the incoming Ogre while manipulating the fire mana from the Fireball [Firecast - Fire Wyrm]. *Whooshh* The Fire Wyrm immediately charges at the Ogre.

"Not yet!! [2nd Circle - Fire Oil]." yelled Angus as he released a large amount of Fire Oil.

Under the supply of Fire Oil, the Fire Wyrm becomes bigger and stronger. But, the fifth-grade Ogre didn't even flinch at the appearance of the humongous Fire Wyrm in front of him.

It imbues its wooden club with a large amount of miasma and turns it into pitch black with the edge covered by a black globe. Just as the Ogre wants to smash the Fire Wyrm, the Fire Wyrm runs towards Angus.

"Who said this is for you?!!" said Angus with a maniac smile.

Then, the gigantic Fire Wyrm absorbed into Angus's twin sword. The crimson red twin sword turns into bright orange like being molten. This is one of his twin sword abilities, heat absorption. The sword turned so hot that even Angus's power arm slowly melted by it.

"Now, let's start round two." said Angus before charging towards the Ogre.

Looking at Angus's molten twin sword, the fifth-grade Ogre knows that it can hurt him badly. But, his pride as Ogre Warrior makes him not back down from a challenge and imbue his entire body with more miasma. *GROOAARR* Roared the Ogre while he also charged at Angus.

Just as they want to clash, Angus once again uses [Shadow Step] and turns into many figures surrounding the Ogre. The fifth grade Ogre ignored this and slammed his pitch-black wooden club towards the ground. *BLAAMMM*

The entire area was immediately destroyed, like being hit by a meteor. After the dust settles down, The Ogre stands in the massive crater while Angus is nowhere to be seen.

Just as the Ogre wondered where the strong human had gone, Angus appeared from the Ogre's shadow and attacked the Ogre using all his strength [Twin Sword Art - Twin Dragon Fang]. *BLAMM* The Ogre managed to react fast and parry Angus' attack with his black wooden club.

Seeing his strongest attack stopped by the Ogre, "Haaa!! [Twin Sword Art - Chain Star] 2x 4x 8x 16x 32x…" yelled Angus.

Angus begins to release a flurry of attacks. His attack keeps getting stronger than before. At the same time, his mana also depletes at a crazy rate.

"Eat this!! 512 Times!! Haaaa!!" yelled Angus.

*GROOOARR* The Ogre also used all his strength to hit Angus's attack. *BAMMM* As they clashed with each other, the whole area was immediately destroyed, covered by a devastating shockwave.

After the shockwave subsided, Angus kneeled on the ground with a pale face. He finds both of his arms broken under his own attack pressure and withstanding the Ogre's attack. At the same time, the Ogre itself is also kneeling on the ground with a long sword cut across his body.

His black wooden club was also cut down in half. Despite this, he didn't bleed too much since his wound was cauterized as soon as he received the wound from Angus's twin sword. *GRR* With groaning and difficulty, the fifth-grade Ogre finally managed to stand up.

On the contrary, Angus is already physically and mentally exhausted. His body has already reached the limit and cannot move again. Feeling the weakness in his master, Draven appeared in front of Angus, trying to protect him from the Ogre.

"Haa.. Ha… Draven.. No, go away." said Angus while exhausted.

On the contrary to Angus's expectation, the fifth grade Ogre didn't charge and attack him. Instead, it just walks away.

*GROOARR* Hearing the roaring sound, the surviving Ogre immediately takes the wounded one and goes into the deeper area. Seeing this, Angus feels confused.

Forcing his body to move and standing up, "Wait, why did you not finish me?" asked Angus.

The fifth-grade Ogre turns back and looks at Angus.

"You are not worthy. Your current pathetic condition is for my club. Mad human." said the Ogre with groaning.

Angus knows that he only hears groaning, but he also understands the Ogre's language and meaning at the same time. Although he is surprised that he could understand the Ogre's language, he is more surprised at the Ogre's word.

'I am not worthy… Mad human??' thought Angus.

"Keep growing, Mad human. I will look forward to our next fight." said the Ogre before following the other Ogre leaving Angus.

Before the fifth grade Ogre truly went, "One more thing, Beware of thunder bug." said the Ogre before going into the deep of the Dark Forest.

Being left behind, Angus's mood is gloomy.

After taking a deep breath, "Haa… It's been a long time since I got lost to someone." said Angus.

After feeling his mana and stamina regenerate a little bit, "Draven, let's go. We can't be here." said Angus before disappearing from the spot, leaving the obliterated wasteland.

Not long after Angus left, General Borkins and his team arrived at the wasteland where Angus had fought before.

Looking at the obliterated wasteland in the area, "Just what happened here?" said Borkins.

Then, they begin to secure the area. They find some Ogre's corpses in the area and know that something or someone is fighting the Ogre.

"Looking at the battlefield condition, This is a Fifth grade Ogre, and the other one is fire mana user." thought Borkins while he analyzed the battlefield.
