While everyone is busy talking and dealing with the aftermath, Ulva, the Fear of Seven Faces, unusually inspects the destroyed training ground. Noticing Ulva's behavior, Carlyn, the Sad of Seven Faces, decides to follow her.
She knows among the Five, Ulva is the second smartest and the most perceptive. If not for her pessimistic mental tendency, she may become better than her. Unfortunately, their mentality problem couldn't be fixed as it has already become part of their nature.
"Ulva did you find something?" asked Carlyn.
"That man is dangerous. Unless we reach seventh grade, I think we should never antagonize him." said Ulva while touching the cut in the ground.
"You mean Baron Victory?" asked Carlyn.
"Yes. At first glance, you may think he survived because that seventh-grade beastman's real body is not here. But that's not necessarily true. If you look carefully at this cut, you will find the cut is very precise. Some of it almost looks like not getting cut." said Ulva.
"Based on my knowledge, the only people who could do this without sharp weapons are combat experts like that old hag." added Ulva.
"True. A combat expert is at a different level from the same level. Their fighting capability and combat prowess are completely off-chart and cannot be measured."
"Even a fourth-grade combat expert could kill an ordinary fifth-grade combatant or heavily injured sixth-grade." said Carlyn.
"Yet, that beastman couldn't even injure Baron Victory. It seems Lilith's choice is right." added Carlyn.
"No, you are wrong. Baron Victory actually gets injured. During the fight, he actually got many skin injuries and bruises. But it healed in a few seconds. His healing capability is almost identical to our shapeshifting ability." said Ulva.
"That's… Ulva, you better not spread this information. If what you said is true, then Baron Victory may be one of the important trump cards for the Heart Kingdom. It's better if we didn't mess up too much with this matter." said Carlyn.
"I know. Just knowing about this matter, I feel like someone is targeting me from out of nowhere," said Ulva.
Unbeknown to the two Altras, a sharp cat's eyes stared at Ulva for a moment from the nearby shadow before disappearing.
While Ulva and Carlyn inspect the training ground to learn more about Warchief Might, Angus and the others retreat to their private room. After the incident, Anna started bugging everyone for lunch.
After eating their fill, the little troublemaker becomes drowsy and decides to nap, leading Angus and Jayna to rest in their own room. Angus takes out his clothes and inspects his muscled body.
As he thought, his body turned into something more ridiculous. He knows the limit of his defensive skill [Absolute Diamond]. Although it is one of his secret defensive techniques, it doesn't mean it could suddenly turn him into an invincible state.
On the contrary, this skill is Angus's last resort when he can't dodge a strong attack. Basically, it is a gamble whether he could withstand the incoming attack or not. During the fight, Xifor or Warchief Might use a Beastman Art Fang against him.
This Beastman Art is actually a common skill art used by Beastman folks. However, in the hand of Warchief Might, it is akin to a dangerous complex skill. Usually, [Beastman Art 1st Fang - Ursaring] is only to launch a series of claw attacks toward their opponent rapidly.
Warchief Might bring this ordinary skill into something destructive beyond comprehension. Each of his claw movements could cut even the hard training ground like butter and throw sharp wind-cutting air.
In fact, Angus' body should be shredded into pieces like going through a blender machine when receiving his attack. But he didn't expect his regeneration to be so powerful that even a deep-cutting wound healed in just a few seconds.
Not even a drop of blood comes out before his wound is closed. Angus knows this happens because of the mysterious meteorite stone inside his body.
At first, he didn't think much about it as the effect is barely noticeable. Now, he feels this stone is more horrifying than he thought.
"At this rate, aren't I going to become undying? Did I could even get old?" muttered Angus in a low voice.
At this moment, he finds a warm hand and body embracing him from behind. Angus didn't bother to look and let Jayna hug him. Angus's anxiety also went away as he felt Jayna's warmth. He also knew it was too early to think about such a thing.
Because of the presence of mana, human life expectancy is quite long. If a human reaches third grade, they could live for at least 80 or 90 years without trouble. If they have a healthy life, living for more than 100 years is possible.
As for the fourth grade, their life could even reach 120 or more. Moreover, the fourth-grade human body will not deteriorate until it is 70 years old. The effect will become more prominent in fifth grade and above.
When it reaches sixth grade, their body will not deteriorate unless their life expectancy is at its limit. With Angus's talent, it is enough to reach at least sixth grade. So, he has more than a hundred years to worry about his old life.
The couple didn't say anything and stayed silent while standing in front of the mirror. Their minds are entirely merged as they enjoy each other's warmth. They completely ignore the surroundings and immerse themselves in their own world.
As they want to take a step further, the couple hears a bumping sound from the bed. They find Anna making a rough sleeping movement and breaking all the pillows while sleeping, hugging her fluffy ball.
"I think we should move to another room." said Jayna while blushing.
"Agreed. Master Mira is staying in another room. Otherwise, she may notice us." said Angus.
Unbeknown to the couple, Mira looks in their direction while sitting on her flying pillow. She stays in her own room, accompanied by Lenora in the corner. The Pureblood Vampire didn't say anything and waited in silence.
She knows her master is quite eccentric as she often looks at the wall like she sees the things behind it. Unfortunately, she didn't see what Mira saw since Mira always had the same doll-like expressionless face.
In the meantime, the Five Seven Faces continue their tour under the leadership of their previous guide. The Duchess didn't mind the Five from suddenly coming into Angus' private training area. She knows they have some history, especially Lilith.
Few days passed by uneventfully. Angus and the others do their daily routine and training while the Duchess and Jade manage the army. The fortress seems peaceful until Angus suddenly receives an official summoning letter from the capital city.
Reading the letter from the staff, "Did Commander Jade and Duchess Amberblaze already know about this?" asked the staff.
"No, My Lord. Since the letter contains the stamps of the military order, we immediately send this letter to you." replied the staff.
Angus frowned in silence for a moment before making a smirk.
"Interesting. Well, since Aunt Extalia told me we would depart today, I guess it didn't matter anyway." said Angus.
Noticing Angus' intention, "Angus, is this okay?" asked Jayna.
"All this time, I stayed silent because I didn't want to get involved too much with the kingdom's affairs. But have you ever seen me as someone who is easily bullied? Since they didn't know what was good for them, I will show them the angered sleeping dragon." replied Angus coldly.
"Anyway, we should get going. Don't tell Aunt Extalia about this." said Angus as he burned the letter casually.
Leaving their room, they go towards the fortress yard and find a lot of carriages. Seeing everyone ready beside Aunt Extalia, Angus approaches Anna and Mira, who bullied Ilgor. The orc literally becomes Anna's sandbag and toy.
Fortunately, his orc's body is strong enough to withstand Anna's rough handling. Otherwise, he will become a corpse long ago. Despite this, Angus never stops since he notices the tremendous growth of Ilgor.
In fact, as an orc, his body needed a constant beating to the point of near death so they could grow. Basically, it is a kind of masochistic behavior. But, the effect is noticeable.
If before Ilgor's mana and body were only like a fourth grade who has just had a breakthrough, now he is like a fourth-grade veteran with years of experience. Usually, this period could only be achieved after five or more years in fourth grade.
'No wonder the orc race is hailed as a warmonger race. Their growth rate becomes so fast when they get beaten to the point of near death. If they don't provoke others and get into war, their growth will be slower.' thought Angus.
"Anna, come here. Don't bully Ilgor too much. He may break beyond repair at this rate." said Angus while casting a healing spell on the injured Ilgor.
While this happened, the nearby knight could only pretend not to see it. On the other hand, the Royal Knights could only give a sympathetic gesture to Ilgor. The little monster often seeks and bullies the Royal Knights in the capital.
Furthermore, they couldn't ask King Leon and Angus for help since the two knew it would increase their endurance. As long as someone is not dead, King Leon and Angus will pretend nothing happened.
