I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 322: Flame Blink

After meditating for a while, Angus shoots a small Firebolt towards the sky. The Firebolt flew through the sky while Angus kept closing his eyes. Suddenly, Angus enters the shadow mode instantly and disappears from his spot. *Whoosh*

For the onlooker, Angus seems to have disappeared out of nowhere. At this split second, the Firebolt exploded and became more significant in the sky. *Boom* as the Firebolt exploded, Angus also seems to have appeared from the explosion.

“Urgghh!!” as Angus feels nauseated from the rough teleportation.

Not only does Angus feel like his inside is being shaken harshly, but he also gets various wounds and burns. However, his ridiculous endurance and regeneration immediately heal all this type of wound.

After using [Shadow Blink] many times, Angus became quite proficient at using this skill. At first, he wanted to learn Blink skills as King Leon had. However, he found that without an object point from his senses, he could not use Blink at all.

Even with the help of shadow mode, he still couldn’t use it. He speculated that Shadow Blink and Blink are using different principles. 

Shadow Blink uses shadow or dark elements as a teleportation point. On the other hand, Blink is more unrestrained and doesn’t need any teleportation points. However, it consumed more mana and required a high mastery and knowledge over space elements.

The more Angus learns about Blink skill, the more he feels respect over King Leon. The skill itself is categorized as a high-level skill and needs a lot of strict requirements.

Since he can’t use Blink skill, he decided to learn another element of Blink skill besides Shadow Blink. His first choice is the fire element, [Flame Blink].

Although the Fire element is not as unique as the dark element, he feels it will be better to master this skill in case he enters a place where there is no dark element nearby. If the dark element is the fundamental element, the Fire element is the basic element.

It will be hard to eliminate both elements in one area or place. Therefore, Angus decided to learn Flame Blink to increase his skill repertoire and combat capability. Furthermore, he wants to conceal his power about shadow and dark elements since it is related to Draven.

As a legendary beast called Mundus, Draven will always attract unnecessary attention. Be it with a good purpose or a bad one. Although he could always escape and fight back when in danger, his power is still limited. His most destructive skill and the domain are entirely reliant on chi.

If he exhausted his own chi, he would be helpless and could only escape. In the end, concealing Draven’s identity and learning Flame Blink is crucial for him. 

Still, learning Flame Blink is not easy since he needs to rely on himself. Unlike the Shadow Blink, where he gets help from Draven. During his first practice, he even got severe injuries and needed to rest for a few days for a complete recovery.

After teleporting up in the sky, Angus starts to feel the sudden pull from gravity and decides to use another Flame Blink to the ground. Before Angus uses Flame Blink to the sky, he leaves some of his Fire mana in his spot.

As he accelerated to the ground, he could feel his Fire Mana with his heat sense. When the distance between himself and the ground approaches around five meters, He immediately uses [Flame Blink] and creates a small explosion from his current position in mid-air. *Boom*

At the same time, another small explosion happened on the ground. *Boom* Angus comes out from the center of this explosion in a bloody appearance. Some of his skin is completely charred and burned, while various wounds appear on his body.

Since he didn’t use Shadow Mode during the last Flame Blink, he got more wounds from the sudden teleportation and explosion despite already covering his body with thick fire mana.

“Urggh.. Haa.. Haa…” as Angus slump on the ground exhaustedly.

Despite his horrible appearance, no nearby soldier is helping him. It is not because they hate Angus and want him to die. But, Angus will constantly reprimand them and increase their training the moment they help him.

Moreover, Angus’ bloody appearance gives all the nearby soldiers a chill along with his reputation. In the end, they could only leave Angus alone and continue their hellish training. 

At first, some of the soldiers are interested in the Flame Blink, but after seeing Angus’ horrible condition each time he practices it, they decide to give up on it. For them, Flame Blink is another level of skill. Only a monstrous person like Angus could carelessly practice it.

Actually, Angus’ kind of practice is impossible for others. Currently, Angus’ body is resilient and his endurance is nine times stronger than an ordinary combatant. Without this kind of monstrous endurance, other combatants will instantly get killed the moment they practice Flame Blink.

What Angus didn’t know is that Blink type of skill could only be practiced by Fifth-grade above combatants. The skill required a strong and resilient body to withstand the teleportation process. Without a strong physical body, it will be only a suicide attempt to use it.

This is also the reason why many people abandon Blink-type skills. Not only does it has a high requirement, but it also needs a very dangerous skill that could send people to death.

After resting in the spot for a while, Angus begins to drag his body to the medical facility to get some medicine. His current regeneration may be very high, but with the help of some medication, he could heal his body and wounds faster.

Unfortunately, the wound he received is the outer wound and not the inner one. Therefore, he couldn’t treat himself with his own healing art. 

Arriving at the medical facility, “You are here again, Angus. Well, it seems you are not as horrible as before.” said a person in white attire towards Angus.

“Haha… I am sorry to bother you again, Priest Oleus.” replied Angus.

“Haa.. Whatever lay over there. I will bring some medicine.” said Priest Oleus.

Oleus is not part of the explosion squad and is one of the hired priests from the Temple of Death. Since the explosion squad training is very dangerous, Duke Jacob decides to hire some priests from the Temple of Death to heal the injured one.

During the last few months, Angus and Priest Oleus get to know each other. But their relationship is kind of complicated. As a healing priest that cares for another’s wellbeing, Priest Oleus does not agree with Angus’s hellish training.

Not only is it too horrible, but one wrong mistake could end up crippling the soldier. His workload also increased since Angus began his hellish training. However, Angus has authority and permission from the squad leader Anne to do his training as he pleases.

In the end, he could only grumble and curse Angus silently until one day he found that his curse suddenly worked. Angus came into the medical in a bloody and horrible appearance. Various broken bones, ruptured vessels, Third-degree wounds all over his body, and many more.

The moment he finds Angus’ condition, he immediately verdict Angus’s days as a combatant is over even though he managed to recover. But, to his surprise, Angus managed to recover in days. Later, he finds that Angus somehow has a monstrous regeneration ability.

Since then, Angus has often come to the medical facility in a similar condition but less injury than before. To the Priest Oleus, Angus is like challenging death itself. 

After a while, Priest Oleus comes towards Angus’s bed while bringing various medicines for burns. Then, the priest begins to check Angus’s condition.

Seeing Angus’s body condition, “Haa.. Just what did you do to get this type of injury? If you do not have this monstrous regeneration and endurance, you will be long gone.” grumble Oleus while taking some medicine.

“Well, I’m just practicing a skill.” said Angus.

Hearing Angus reply, Oleus couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

‘What kind of training could lead to this kind of damage? Are you practicing some kind of suicide skill or what?!!’ thought Priest Oleus.

After Oleus applied the medicine and healing art to Angus, “Thanks for the treatment, Oleus. I owe you another one.” said Angus while changing his clothes.

“Don’t bother. This is my job in the first place. Besides, you will heal on your own in a few days.” said Priest Oleus.

“Still, it really helps me save a lot of time.” said Angus.

“Tch.. If you really feel like owe me, why don’t you stop that hellish training and try not to injure yourself.” said Oleus.

“Haha… you know that kind of thing is impossible. We are in a kind of hurry and need to get stronger as fast as possible.” said Angus in a chuckle.

‘War, huh?’ thought the priest as he also knows the Heart Kingdom situation.

However, as a member of the Temple of Death, he couldn’t interfere with the other nation’s problems carelessly. As a healer veteran, Priest Oleus understood what war could bring to others, especially towards common people.

‘There is nothing good that comes from the war itself.’ thought the priest as he remembered some of his experience.

“Well, then I will excuse myself. Thanks, Priest Oleus.” said Angus.

“Yeah… Yeah… just get out of here already.” said Oleus while sorting the medicine and his tools.
