Chapter 721 Roasting Pork
After learning the name of Lava Twin Swords, Angus could cut through anything easily with only a little fire mana. In some way, this artifact is similar to Jayna's destructive burning swords.
Unfortunately, Lava Twin Swords is incompatible with the current Jayna. Instead of consuming a lot of mana like any other weapon artifact, Lava Twin Swords demand great skill and intent in swords from the user.
Not to mention Jayna, even a master sword user may be unable to use Lava Twin Swords. Only a monstrous talented person like Angus, proficient in any weapon and with superb sword intent, could master this World-Destroyer class artifact.
'It is truly worthy of a World-Destroyer class artifact. I just need to infuse some intent to cut through anything.' thought Angus inwardly.
Sword intent or other weapon intent manifests the user's will and mastery of the respective weapon. Intent could amplify the weapon's lethality.
A casual swing from the sword with intent could be compared to any high-level skill. Even without a weapon, some experts could hurt or cut others just by their intent. However, weapon intent is tough to master. Only the most talented and hardworking people can master it.
As time goes on, the dwarves start to get frustrated with Angus' little family, especially Angus himself. As elite soldiers, they are good at close combat and capturing the enemy, even if the enemy has some escape method like teleport.
Yet, they cannot catch Angus and the others after a long time. Unbeknownst to them, the real reason is that Angus keeps disturbing their formation and controlling the crowd while moving around.
Whenever they almost encircle Jayna and Anna, Angus will [Flame Blink] near them to attract some dwarves. Furthermore, he didn't just attract them but also launched a deadly slash. This makes the dwarves more disorganized and unable to fight properly as a group.
The only way for the dwarves to break this is by leading these dwarves from the back, who could see the overall situation. Unfortunately, the dwarves never follow someone weaker than them. Moreover, they do not stay behind while others fight either.
Even if someone notices this problem, finding anyone to make a counter plan on the spot and give a proper command is still difficult. It needs at least a talented commander to do this kind of thing, especially against Angus' absurd intelligence.
Unfortunately, such a person is not here. Even if there is such a person, Angus also will not give this person time to give a proper command. As the dwarves get frustrated, they don't realize they are gathered in the same area.
*Flash* Angus uses [Flame Blink] again and appears in the outer area where the dwarves gather. Without wasting more time, he put away his weapon artifact and took out two magic handguns. After pointing at the dwarves' group, he pulled the trigger.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* [3rd Circle - Fire Blast x 4] Rather than the usual magic bullet, the two magic guns release a big Fire Blast toward the group. With a tacit understanding, Jayna also teleports above the dwarves' group and pulls out two magic handguns.
However, her magic gun didn't release damaging spells or magic bullets but spouted a large amount of Fire Oil.
*BOOOM*The combination of the two attacks set the entire area to blaze and roast the dwarves' group. Unfortunately, this combination attack cannot injure or even kill the dwarves.
Except for the one in front of Angus, who is directly bearing the four Fire Blast impacts, none of the dwarves is injured despite being bathed in flame.
Some even ignore the fire and keep charging forwards toward the young couple. All of this is because of their highly enchanted armor.
Angus and Jayna may be capable of cutting this armor like butter with their swords, but the dwarf armor is still very sturdy. It could even withstand a fifth-grade attack like nothing.
Combined with the dwarf's natural resistance, it makes these dwarves almost invincible against low-grade attack. However, this is not Angus and Jayna's intention. Jayna gathers the surrounding blazing fire into a single point with a motion and wave of a hand.
The dwarves ignore this and charge forwards toward Jayna. They don't know about the Firebird that Jayna created before and are confident with their highly enchanted armor. They believe ordinary fire attacks will not be capable of damaging them.
*PIIIIKKK* A moment later, a loud bird cry was heard across the area. The Giant Firebird formed while releasing a scorching heat wave in the surrounding area. As the fire burned the surrounding, a bluish barrier suddenly revealed across the area.
"This… You are trying to break the barrier!!" roared the dwarves in surprise.
The dwarves finally understand what Angus is doing when stabbing the ground. Unlike before, Angus couldn't hit the barrier and damage the barrier continuously. He decides to work slower this time while focusing more on their safety.
Moreover, his rate of breaking the power source point is lower than before despite having a smaller targeting area. As a result, the barrier stays hidden even after he breaks dozens of power source points.
It is not until the firebird scorches the whole area that the barrier finally reveals itself. The other dwarves are also surprised at this revelation. Their order is to catch Angus and his little family.
Unfortunately, they didn't expect Angus to use this opportunity to break the barrier lockdown. With how well Angus and Jayna use space ability, they didn't doubt Angus could escape from this place.
At that time, their mission will be truly failed. Same as before, some dwarves try to attack and damage the firebird, only to fail.
As the fire spread, Angus and the others were also covered in fire. However, this fire is unable to hurt them. Instead, Angus and Jayna begin to fight more fervently. Their [Flame Blink] and [Flame Teleportation] are faster, as well as their attack.
In fact, Jayna's aura is slowly changing. Her attack not only became more aggressive but also her movement. Unlike before, she seems to be more experienced in combat as a completely different person.
Before, Jayna often used [Flame Teleportation] to avoid the attack. Now she could dodge attacks with little effort and even attack better. She was no longer restricted to her burning sword attack but also occasionally releasing fiery feathers.
This feather is very sharp and always hits the exposed vital parts such as the neck, eyes, or groin. Combining the destructive fire around Jayna, the dwarves couldn't help but falter in front of her.
'*Sigh* She is at it again and damn… That's too beautiful. What the… Focus, Angus!!' thought Angus inwardly while shaking his head.
Meanwhile, The little monster who was punching the dwarves to oblivion and screaming 'Anna Punch' every time suddenly stops as she looks at the burning fire.
"Ahh… Anna got an idea." said Anna smiling mischievously before jumping high toward Porky.
In contrast to Angus and the others fighting for their lives, the giant Porky is just lazily lying on the ground and almost dozing off. It is not because the dwarves didn't want to do anything to the giant pig but because they couldn't do anything to it. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Moreover, anyone trying to hit dwarves suddenly burst into pieces of meat. No one knows what hit them. Some of the keen dwarves only see and hear a fast-moving chained weapon killing anyone that tries to hit the giant pig.
Since then, the dwarves have focused on capturing Angus and the others. Jumping on top of the giant pig, Anna wakes the half-sleep Porky.
"Porky Porky, hurry give Anna pork!!" urged Anna while jumping around excitedly.
*Oink* *Oink* The giant pig's soft skin suddenly trembled and released hundreds of large pigs. As soon as they came out, the pig was immediately roasted by the surrounding fire and cried in pain. Seeing this, Anna couldn't help but drool while rubbing her small tummy.
"Yay!! Yay!! Roasted Pork!!" exclaimed Anna, oblivious to the hundred pigs' pained cry.
The nearby dwarves are stunned at such an absurd scene, while Angus and Jayna only shake their heads at the little gluttony's action. Still, Jayna and Angus are too busy to reprimand the naughty Anna and let her have fun.
Furthermore, the running roasted pig also causes some chaos in the area. The dwarves will never expect a sudden attack from a group of large pigs. At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a loud warhorn sound. *BOOOOOOO* *BOOOOOOO* *BOOOOOOO*
Far away from Angus's location, Lotord and Alder face each other. Their surrounding area is completely turned into a wasteland. Deep cracks, slashes, and dried sand could be seen everywhere.
If any beastman from Savan sees this kind of Desolate land, they will immediately think of Morvo Wasteland in their home. This phenomenon happens because of Lotord and Alder's fight and the previous firebird explosion.
Still, it turned into a wasteland mainly because of the two powerful combatants in the air. Judging by their current appearance, everyone knows Alder holds the upper hand.
In contrast to Alder's casual behavior, Lotord is breathing in rough breath and is covered in sweat. His body constantly emits a trace of miasma while covered in unknown runic artifact armor.
