Chapter 168: Gilford
[Sword Art - Fiery Wave] a scorching heatwave spread horizontally towards the sandy ground. Unlike the first ti, Jayna used the [Fiery Wave] and slashed it vertically.
Now, she tried to slash it horizontally and create a large-scale area of attack towards the surrounding area.
However, since the [Fiery Wave] is spread around, it also decreases its temperature and destructiveness. Still, this skill is enough to burn down soone along the periter.
Even Angus couldn't help but use a third circle spell or dodge away using [Beast Walk] to avoid such a skill.
"Woahh… What kind of absurd skill is that? It's like a fourth circle spell." exclaid Isvel beside Angus.
Rather than replying, Angus ignores the chatterbox and approaches Jayna, who is exhausted.
Looking at Angus approaching her, "Haa… Haa… It seems it will take so ti to beco proficient at this skill." said Jayna while calming her breath.
"Yeah, the concentrated fire mana from [Sacred Fire] is good. But releasing it is like breaking a dam. Once you let loose, there is no other way to control it. I can't help but be curious how the fire phoenix managed to control all this much fire mana." said Angus.
From Jayna's story [Sacred Fire] is one of the fire phoenix's original skills. Because Jayna managed to devour the fire phoenix, she also inherited all of her skills.
"No, you are wrong, Angus. The original fire phoenix never tried to control this concentrated fire mana. She is.. just let everything loose without care." explained Jayna.
"Whatt… she never tries to control this kind of strength. That's kind of a waste…" exclaid Angus.
Angus believes a power without proper control is like giving trendous energy to a baby. It is a waste of energy since the energy could be used efficiently.
Hearing her boyfriend's remark, Jayna could only smile. Over the years, she knows that Angus is a control freak. However, it doesn't an she doesn't like it since Angus never tries to control people but only things he could control perfectly.
She is also sowhat affected by him having good control over power and energy. However, this kind of thing is harder to achieve. Not everyone has the talent to control their body and energy like Angus.
Still, she is trying to control the fire phoenix's skill. She believes if she could have better control over them, it will increase her overall combat prowess.
During the ti Angus and Jayna are discussing a little bit to control this skill, Isvel cos towards them.
"Ahh.. Jayna, this is my cousin, Isvel. This is the 4th princess of the Heart Kingdom, Jayna Heart." Angus introduced both of them.
"Hello, you could call Lady Jayna like everyone else." said Jayna.
"Woahh… A princess.. That ans you are royalty. Is it the sa as being the son of a clan head? Or is it a higher ranking than it? Anyway, this is the first ti I have t a princess before…" said Isvel as he turned into chatterbox mode.
Hearing this, Angus and Jayna could only silently hear the chatterbox talking without replying. It is not because they don't want to respond, but they didn't have a chance to reply.
After a while, "Say, since you two are quite strong, why don't we have a little bit of spar?" asked Isvel out of nowhere.
"Errmm… we.." replied Angus.
Before Angus could finish his sentence, "Don't worry, I will hold back a little bit. I hear…" as Isvel once again talked nonstop.
Both Angus and Jayna could only look at each other without knowing what to do.
During this mont, "Woaahh.. what a concentrated fire mana. Is this a spell? No, the fire mana is too wild to be a spell." said a man with goggles while inspecting the scorched area from Jayna's skill.
Hearing this, all of them imdiately look at the man who keeps inspecting. During this ti, Angus is the one that is surprised the most since he couldn't even feel the guy approaching them.
"Ohh.. Brother Gil, you are back already." said Isvel.
But, the person nad Gil ignored Isvel's call and kept inspecting the scorched ground.
Looking at this, "Oii.. Nerd, You could inspect that damned scorched ground later!!" As Isvel disappears from his spot and does a flying kick towards Gil.
Gil imdiately got kicked by Isvel and thrown a few ters away. Then, Isvel dragged Gil like a dead body towards Angus and Jayna, who are looking at the attic of the two people.
"Ahh.. Sorry about that. He is my younger brother, Gilford, a nerd who likes to ddle with so boring stuff." said Isvel.
Suddenly, Gil recovered and countered his brother, "Hey, that's not boring stuff. It's called science and technology." rebuked Gil.
"Yeah-yeah.. Boring stuff.." said Isvel.
"Hmph.. a chatterbox like you will never know the true value of my stuff. Anyway, I hear you two are from the Firuman? Do you happen to bring so books?" asked Gil.
Hearing this, Jayna couldn't help but look at Angus. She knows that Angus must bring a few books on this journey as reading books is one of Angus's hobbies besides lazing around.
"Hmm.. what book do you want?" replied Angus.
"Ehh.. you really have so books? That's aweso. Could I borrow it? Ahh.. My na is Gilford, by the way." exclaid Gilford.
"I am Angus Victory. I am sorry, but I can't lend the book for free. Let's say why don't we have an exchange." said Angus.
"Exchange? What do you want?" asked Gilford.
"Since you want to borrow books, let's exchange them for lending your other books." said Angus.
Hearing this, Gilford imdiately smiles happily, "I see you are a man of the culture as well. Say why don't you co towards my ho..." as Gilford and Angus chatting on their own.
Looking at this, "Urrgg.. I never knew that my cousin was also a nerd." comnted Isvel nearby.
"Anyway, I hear from my father that you will try to dicate his old wound. Could I spectate it?" asked Gilford out of nowhere.
"Hm… Well, as long as you don't disturb and get uncle Jade's permission, you could spectate it." said Angus.
"Really?? That's good. Yey.." said Gilford happily.
"Woah-Woah.. Hold on.. What do you an by dicating father? Did father get sick?" asked Isvel out of nowhere.
"No, dumbass.. It's his old wound. Apparently, our cousin here will try to heal his miasma wound." said Gilford.
"Oii.. What did you call , Nerd?" replied Isvel while smacking his brother's head.
"Stop hitting my head. I don't want to beco a scatterbrain like you." said Gilford while running away.
The two brothers begin a ga of cat and mouse while leaving Angus and Jayna alone.
"Well, it seems you get a good cousin with the sa interests as you." said Jayna.
"Sa interest? That will be good if that's the case. I think that Gilford is the most dangerous out of Uncle Jade's children." said Angus.
"Ehh.. How co?" replied Jayna.
"Because of the four children only, he reeks of blood. Anyway, let's go back now. Tonight, I need to dicate Uncle Jade." said Angus.
'Reeks of blood??' thought Jayna before following Angus back towards Sur village.
As ti goes by, night cos. Because of the sunny weather in the Surya desert, the Sur Village is still as bright as day despite the nightti. Still, most of the villagers already rest in their own tent.
Now, Angus stays in the clan head tent. There are few people inside the tent, such as Clan head Jade, Jane, Gilford, Angus, and Jayna. Beside them, all the nearby guards are ordered to wait outside.
Sitting on the chair in the middle of the tent, Angus is doing the last-minute inspection towards Uncle Jade's old wound.
After a while, "Alright, let explain what I am going to do." said Angus.
Angus intends to open the old wound first and purify the outer layer of the miasma wound. During this ti, Jade needs to keep repelling the miasma from the inside while drinking the miasma curing potion.
This mont is also the most painful mont, like when Angus cures King Nexus' wound. The miasma inside the wound will go wildly and beco aggressive upon the contact of the miasma curing wound.
After explaining what uncle Jade needs to do, Angus takes out a few enchanted steel needles along with a few dical tools.
"Uncle, you ready?" asked Angus while holding a scalpel.
"Yes, let's do it." replied Jade while holding the miasma-curing potion.
After both of them taking a deep breath, Angus cut open the black-skinned wound on the lower stomach of uncle Jade's body.
The mont the wound cuts open, Uncle Jade feels like being scorching in the wounded area. Without wasting any mont, "Drink the potion now!!" said Angus while stabbing the enchanted needle around the wound area.
The mont Uncle Jade drinks the potion, he feels burned from the inside. However, his suffering is only in the beginning.
After Angus stabs the needles around the wound, "Keep repelling the miasma!!" said Angus and took out a bottle of miasma curing potion.
The mont Angus applies the potion towards the wound, "ARRGGHHH!!!"
