Chapter 365: Divine Magic
"Brat, you are dead!!" said King Leon as he suddenly appeared.
As soon as King Leon appeared, Angus immediately shot a big ball of fire from his hand towards him [2nd Circle – Flame Bomb]. *BOM* The Flame Bomb immediately exploded before it reached King Leon.
The area near King Leon immediately scorched and burned. However, he still managed to dodge this effortlessly with his speed.
"Trying to sneak an attack on me, huh?" commented King Leon.
At this moment, Jayna appeared from the middle of the explosion like it didn't affect her at all [Fiery Burst]. Arriving in front of King Leon, Jayna immediately brandished her fiery sword [Crimson Slash].
Once again, King Leon avoided the side and counterattacked with his fist. Just as King Leon almost punches her daughter, a small ball of flame comes towards his eyes. Out of reflection, King Leon immediately stops his attack and dodges it.
Still, this moment creates an opening for Jayna as she continues her attack on his father. King Leon couldn't help but dodge her attack again. Although he knows her attack couldn't fatally wound him, he still feels it could hurt him.
As a full-fledged seventh-grade combatant who is a specialist in warrior path and speed, it will be a shame to get injured by a third-grade combatant, even if it is a minor injury. Therefore, King Leon didn't choose but to step back and dodge Jayna's attack.
By being near Jayna's attack, King Leon knows that her flame and the fiery sword are very dangerous. King Leon begins to keep dodging Jayna's fiery sword while retreating. It is not that he didn't want to counterattack, but he couldn't.
While Jayna keeps attacking, Angus always attacks using a low circle spell to obstruct King Leon from counterattack.
'The two of them have excellent teamwork. No, it seems like they understand well what the others are going to do,' thought King Leon while analyzing the two combat styles.
"But, this is not enough!!" said King Leon as he enhanced his body with mana.
Suddenly, King Leon moved faster than before and brandished his fist towards Jayna. Seeing this, Angus immediately taps the ground using his hand [2nd Circle – Ground Shrinking]. At this moment, King Leon's ground position moved a few meters away from Jayna.
Still, the airwave from King Leon's fist is very strong and comes towards Jayna. Seeing this, a sturdy silvery shield appeared in front of Jayna [Unbreakable Shield]. *Whoosh* the airwave was completely defended by the Unbreakable Shield.
"Hoo… So, that's the unbreakable shield I hear about." said King Leon.
Although King Leon only releases a strong airwave, it still has enough strong power to easily destroy a reinforced city gate. Then, the shield is gone and Jayna's already in the drawing stance [Sword Art – True Slash]. *Swishh*
For the first time since the fight, King Leon feels a real danger from his daughter's attack. King Leon couldn't help but get away from Jayna's attack. Still, Angus didn't let him be and immediately used Ground Shrinking to prevent King Leon from dodging to the side.
With no choice, King Leon uses his superhuman reflex to jump on the spot despite his broken stance. The reinforced ground immediately cracked under King Leon's strength, but King Leon dodged Jayna's attack.
In his previous position, a long-burning slash mark appeared on the ground until it reached the wall. Even the reinforced wall was also getting slashed and destroyed.
'What a horrible attack?!! It will surely hurt me if it is hit.' thought King Leon while coming down from the air,
Just as Jayna wants to continue her attack, King Leon suddenly ignores her and moves towards Angus.
"So, this is your plan, huh? Hiding behind women?!!" said King Leon while deciding to punch Angus.
Angus didn't move from his spot and kept releasing the bursting mana from the start of the fight. He didn't even see the incoming fist of King Leon. Just as the fist comes in front of Angus, a silvery-white shield similar to Jayna appears in front of the fist. *BAMM*
The silvery-white shield managed to endure King Leon's attack, but it also cracked. At the same time, Angus also coughs blood as he feels his inwards getting punched.
"Hoo.. It managed to hold one of my punches. How about another one?" said King Leon.
Suddenly, King Leon feels a hot sensation from his side. He notices Jayna release an intense heatwave towards King Leon [Sword Art – Fiery Wave].
Seeing this, King Leon decided to stop his punch and change its direction towards the Fiery Wave. *BOOM* Both attacks were powerful and forced King Leon to back a few meters away.
'What a strong attack?! If I am not coating my hand with thick mana, it will surely leave a burn.' thought King Leon sees the arrival of Jayna in front of Angus.
"Interesting… However, as I said before, you disappointed me, Angus. Hiding behind a woman, what a joke." said King Leon as he moved behind Angus with his fist coming towards Angus.
At this moment, a spike made of shadow came towards King Leon's eyes [Shadow Spike]. Surprised at this, King Leon immediately stops his attack and dodges the Shadow Spike but still manages to scratch his cheek. Then, he steps back to avoid Jayna's Crimson Slash.
"Mundus.. I almost forgot you have that legendary beast as familiar." said King Leon coldly.
At this moment, King Leon feels shame and anger as he gets injured from them. He decides to stop holding back and use his full power to teach the two of them.
At this moment, King Leon releases a huge pressure on Angus and Jayna, which staggers them a little bit. Just as King Leon wanted to move, Angus touched the ground with his hands.
"..Come fort the blessing of God [Divine Magic – Prayer's Room.]." yelled Angus.
Suddenly the whole area was enveloped with light and many transparent figures appeared surrounding the arena. All the transparent figures wear a robe and are in a praying stance. Then, everyone could hear a hymn song.
Along with the Hymn song, exhausted Angus, who cast divine magic, feels his mana recovered rapidly along with the exhausted Jayna. Seeing this unnatural magic, King Leon couldn't help but look at them as he found both enhanced.
Normally, enhanced spells couldn't be used many times, especially for high-grade combatants. There are various reasons for this, but the primary reason is the target mana purity and density.
Angus and Jayna have a very high mana density and purity comparable to a fifth-grade combatant despite only being a third-grade combatant. Because of this, low circle enchantment spells are useless for both of them.
However, the Prayer's Room enhances Angus and Jayna easily. Moreover, King Leon also finds them being healed and having their mana restored.
"So, this is divine magic. Truly dangerous magic." said King Leon.
Although King Leon didn't know how long this magic would work, he knows just by having this effect is enough to make a group of combatants invincible. Actually, King Leon could easily shatter the magic by forcing his mana towards the magic itself.
However, he also wants to see what Angus plans to do since, at this moment, he takes out his twin-blade artifact.
"You said that I hide behind a woman? Fine, I will show you my power. Jayna, please lend me your power." said Angus.
"Ehh.. But, it could hurt you." said Jayna.
"It's okay. Besides, I need to show him what I will become when someone dares to hurt you." said Angus.
"One minute… I will lend you my power for one minute. After that, I will take it back. More than that, it will only burn you." said Jayna while holding Angus's hand.
"Alright, that's enough." replied Angus.
Suddenly, Jayna is covered with crimson fire and the fire begins to spread towards Angus. At this moment, Angus's high-quality clothes begin to burn up. Some of the fire is absorbed into the twin sword artifact. The twin sword becomes crimson bright.
"Urgghh.. Arghhhh!!" screamed Angus in pain as he felt like being burned alive.
Then, Angus looked at King Leon with his deep pitch-black eyes. A strong killing intent began to pierce King Leon's mind. Instinctively, King Leon immediately uses Blink to dodge a few meters away. *Swish* *BAMM*
In his current position appeared the burning Angus, who is slashing the ground. Not only the ground but the whole building in front of Angus was also slashed. Moreover, a blazing fire melted the reinforced ground and the building erupted from the slice.
"Kakaka… Now look who is running away?" said Angus with a maniac smile.
Once again, Angus charged at King Leon while brandishing his twin sword. Didn't want to parry such a dangerous attack from Angus with his body, King Leon immediately took out his sword and used his full power to parry it. *BAMM*
King Leon managed to stop Angus's attack, but Angus didn't stop at it and repeatedly struck his twin-blade at King Leon like a mad person. *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
"Hahahha… I don't care if you are a King or her father.. Jayna is mine and mine only!!" said Angus with a crazed tone.
