Chapter 177: Heavenly Tools
*Bum* “Arrghh… My Eye!!” screamed the blue-haired man.
Before the man could get away, Angus shoved his two fingers into the man’s mouth. A moment later, a bright blue light came from his finger [1st Circle Spell – Overcharge Mana Ball]. *Bum*
The entire head of the blue-haired man exploded from the overcharged mana ball and killed him. Looking at this, all the nearby audience was silent for a moment before cheering up.
“Hahahaha… That’s unexpected. The rookie crusher got crushed instead.”
“To think the rookie crusher gets bullied and killed by a basic spell. I am not sure whether to pity him or not.”
“Although I lost some money, I never knew that basic spells such as [Mana Ball] could be used like that.”
“Could you even call that a [Mana Ball]?.”
“Yess… Once again, I was right to bet on the newcomer.”
“Damn, I lost again. What’s up with these newcomers this year?”
Many different reactions could be seen from the Angus battle. In the battlefield Arena, they were already used to the gruesome scene. So, they didn’t bother Angus coldly killing his opponent. Some terrible fighters even enjoy torturing their opponent.
However, they never see a grade three combatant killed by only basic spells such as [Mana Ball]. Everyone knows that besides their basic elemental spells such as flame, spark, etc., Mana ball is the most basic spell that everyone could cast.
Even the most foolish warrior combatant could cast it after a bit of practice. The only reason it is categorized as 1st Circle spell is for training casting purposes. Be it for aiming, mana control, or casting training purposes.
Nobody will guess that the harmless [Mana Ball] could become so deadly. Some veterans in the audience immediately know that Angus is an extraordinary person and an expert like themself.
In the hand of an expert, anything could be a deadly weapon, be it harmless [Mana Ball] or a fucking damn cup of tea.
Not only that, but these veterans also don’t know the true strength of Angus except his exceptional casting skill of [Mana Ball] spell. None of them dare to test him after seeing Angus’s performance.
Fighting an unknown enemy is more dangerous, especially with an expert such as Angus. It could be said that his performance also became a sort of warning to other people that might try to take advantage of him.
This way, people will think twice to try making trouble for him. Unless they are truly stupid, mad, or braindead, no one will dare to provoke Angus easily.
After looting the things in the blue-haired man’s corpse and cleaning the blood in his body, Angus gets out of the arena.
In the lawless zone like Ancestral Ruin, thieving is the most major problem. Everyone always keeps their belongings to themselves rather than leaving them in their tent or residence.
Getting out of the arena, Angus approaches Jayna, who immediately runs towards him. Then, Jayna hugs Angus.
“Angus, are you okay? You are not hurt, right?” asked Jayna worriedly.
“It’s okay. He could not even retaliate.” replied Angus.
“Yeah… Angus, I-I am sorry.” said Jayna in a low voice.
“Don’t worry about it. People like him will always search for trouble for us. Besides, Didn’t you trust me?” said Angus.
“Y-Yeah.. B-But..” said Jayna.
“If you are still feeling bad. How about this? Why don’t we sleep together tonight? This way, you could repay your mistake.” whispering Angus in Jayna’s ear.
“O-Okay.. B-But.. We are only sleeping and not doing anything.” said Jayna in a low voice while blushing.
“Huh.. Did you want to do something else?” teased Angus.
“N-No.. I mean..” At this moment, Jayna looks at Angus’s playful smile and knows that he is teasing her.
“Hmph.. stupid Angus.” Jayna is stomping her feet but not getting away from Angus’s embrace.
Although their two interactions are very intimate in public, nobody cares about them. In this place, they sometimes could even see people having more shameless acts than the two of them. Moreover, Angus already shows his strength and makes him not an easy target.
Then, Angus and Jayna decide to go back to the Sur Clan camp. Along the way, they see many people setting up stalls to sell their things. Using this opportunity, they decided to do window shopping.
Unfortunately, they didn’t find anything interesting. Most of the item is some enchanted weapon and overpriced potion. Others are raw monster/beast meat or basic necessity.
In the end, they found a particular shop selling bathing tools. They found this shop to be quite unique and decided to look around.
“Welcome, to my humble shop. Please look around.” said the female shopkeeper.
After looking around, they found a water space storage that was filled with water. Apparently, they sell the water for people to take a bath. Although it is rare, some people still prefer to have a proper bath rather than using a cleaning spell.
Besides that, the warrior combatant who could not do cleaning spells often used this way to maintain their hygiene. Still, most people didn’t bother about it since having a relaxing bath usually dulls their instinct and makes them vulnerable.
Looking at Jayna’s interest in all this stuff, “Shopkeeper, how much are these bath tools?” asked Angus.
As a royalty princess, Jayna is used to a luxury lifestyle where she could have a proper bath anytime she wants. However, she could not even have a proper cleaning in this dangerous land until she arrived at the Sur Village.
Even in Sur village, she could only do the basic cleaning without having a nice relaxing bath since water is precious in their village. For people like her, these bathing tools are the same as heavenly tools.
There is a different feeling about having a proper bath and using a cleaning spell. Seeing that the two customers were interested in her merchandise, the shopkeeper immediately gave them more attention.
In her experience, only people that care for proper hygiene will ask for her product. Judging by the clean looks of the two young customers, the shopkeeper knows that she is getting a jackpot.
In the end, Angus and Jayna buy the whole heavenly bathing set along with a lot of clean water. Not only that, but Angus also bought many different types of water.
He found that each of these waters has unique properties and is interesting for further research. After finding Absolute Blue water in the Fire Phoenix prison, he feels interested in researching such particular water.
Based on the Jayna, Absolute Blue is a very rare water that could counter and suppress all the fire entities. It is an ultimate bane towards all fire entities. She didn’t even know how they managed to gather that much Absolute Blue since a drop of it was already precious.
Fortunately, Angus managed to fill one of his empty pocket pouches with Absolute Blue during their exploration in the Fire Phoenix prison. Still, he only has a limited amount of Absolute Blue.
It will be a significant weapon when they clash with the other phoenixes if they meet in the future. Based on Jayna’s story, Fire Phoenix and her siblings are a very prideful entity and quite stubborn.
Their relationship with the others is irreparable to the point of wanting to kill each other completely. If it is not because of their immortal ability, all of them already died a long time ago from fighting each other.
However, according to Jayna, the fire phoenix never died even once in her long life besides being sealed. During her peak strength, the Absolute Blue water could only suppress her a little bit before finally evaporating from her fire.
This shows how ridiculously strong the Fire Phoenix was. If she is not weakened for being sealed in a long time and just taking over Jayna’s body, they don’t have any hope to defeat her even with the help of [Possession].
Jayna didn’t know how strong the fire phoenix was since there is no such thing about grades in the past. However, based on Jayna’s description, Fire Phoenix should be no weaker than a seventh-grade combatant.
Moreover, she seems to be using a sort of incomprehensible power to control fire without mana. She could even control the fire in her siblings’ bodies using this power.
Unfortunately, Jayna is still too weak to use her full ability. Like the Fire Phoenix said when she took over Jayna’s body, she is too weak and young for her.
After making a heavy purchase for the heavenly bath tools, Angus and Jayna return to the Sur Village camp. Jayna couldn’t help wanting to use the heavenly tools as soon as possible, while Angus just wanted to relax.
During his window shopping, there are already many people looking and stalking at them. Based on their capability to hide, most of them seem to be thieves looking for easy prey.
So, Angus always keeps his vigilance every time someone approaches him. He didn’t even let other people touch both of them to avoid being stolen.
After walking for a while, they finally arrive at the Sur village camp. The villagers already set up some merchant shops in the front while the sleeping tents in the back. There are also many people in the shop buying and selling things.
Arriving at the Sur camp, “Ahh.. It looks like our famous little guest is back.”
