"I could. But… you don't need me to find it out." said Angus.
"What did you mean?" asked Aunt Extalia.
"Aunt… She has already completely surrendered and is only looking for death. It hurts my pride to do anything more to her than this." said Angus solemnly.
"My advice is just to give her a quick death. However, I know she is still valuable to us. Just make to not give her any more pain." said Angus before leaving Aunt Extalia.
After Angus leaves Aunt Extalia alone, "Haa… That brat is still too soft. Well, sometimes I almost forget that he is still a young man." commented Extalia before gathering some men to get some information from Brigida.
She at least got some information before entering Nirvas. While Aunt Extalia is busy on her own, Angus goes towards the empty area near the hotel. This empty area is often used by Heart Kingdom's group for daily training or exercise.
Since Anna needs to keep moving around, they decide to make Anna do some training rather than just taking a nap. During today's test, he notices her condition is improving when she is circulating her mana and ready to fight against Merra.
Therefore, making her move and play around is better than letting her sleep and rest. Entering the area, Angus finds Anna playing around with Ilgor and Mira while Jayna is training nearby. Angus is glad after looking at Anna's usual cheerful expression.
"Ahhh… Angus, here!! Here!! *Achoo*" called Anna excitedly.
"Well, at least she is definitely better than before." said Angus while waving his hand back to her before approaching Jayna.
"You are late." said Jayna as she stopped swinging her sword.
"There is some unforeseen situation. Anyway, I need a little bit of your help." said Angus in a serious tone.
Jayna didn't reply and looked at Angus. After they communicated through their bond for a moment, Jayna nodded her head.
"Royal Guards, come here!!" said Jayna while flaring up her mana.
Suddenly, a few royal guards arrive inside the area.
"Fourth Princess, is there something wrong?" said one of the royal guards after checking the surroundings.
Although most of the Royal Guard under Jayna are very lax, they still take their job seriously, especially after getting the unique signal from Jayna. When Jayna calls them, she also sends a certain mana rhythm to others.
Normally, this subtle mana manipulation is hard to do and detect. However, Angus ' teaches' some of the Royal Guards under Jayna during their trip to Sunset City. Angus feels Jayna's Royal Guards are sometimes too serious and too intimidating to the others.
However, it is also a problem if they can't react appropriately in dangerous situations. Therefore, Angus decided to teach them a hidden code with mana manipulation that could only be used by Jayna.
Whenever Jayna uses this certain mana rhythm, the other Royal Guard must obey all her commands. Since it is connected with Jayna's mana signature, no one could replicate this, even Angus.
This practice is useful, but not everyone can detect this subtle mana manipulation. Moreover, only people with good mana control can send this hidden signal. Therefore, King Leon still did not implement this hidden code to all the royal guards.
"Did you already master the Prayer's Room?" asked Jayna.
"We did. But, we could only hold it for a few minutes. After that, we will enter a mana deficiency state." said the Royal Guard.
"That's enough. Use it on us." said Jayna.
"As you wish, My Lady." said the Royal Guard before encircling Angus and Jayna.
Then, they begin to chant together while trying to synchronize their mana together. The Royal Guard usually divide into teams to maximize their teamwork. In other words, they are stronger when fighting as a team rather than in a one-on-one battle.
One of the main criteria for the team is their capability to synchronize their mana with each other. By synchronizing their mana, they could use many complex spells or even Joint skills without heavy precaution.
[Divine Magic - Prayer's Room] is one of the complex spells Angus gets from the Temple of Death. Despite its absurd effect, it has a lot of restrictions and is hard to maintain. Technically, it is a spell that needs to be cast by at least four people.
The hardest part of the spell is not to cast it but to maintain it. Unlike ordinary spells, the casters need to keep doing some calculations besides expanding their mana to maintain the spell. Not only do they need to keep their mana synchronized, but they also need to divide their spell calculation.
It is a complex mind work that needs excellent teamwork. Any single error or distraction has the potential to break the spell. In some way, this spell is very impractical since it will turn the caster defenseless and depletes their mana over time.
The only reason Angus could cast the spell alone when fighting King Leon is that he modified it and made it a large-scale spell without needing to maintain it.
The downside of this method is that it could be broken with force and Angus needed to do a long, complex spell calculation before casting it. He also needs to spend almost all his mana to cast it. If he didn't have ridiculous mana regeneration, he would go into a coma after launching it.
Unfortunately, Angus couldn't cast Prayer's Room alone this time for what he would do. He needed to reserve every little bit of his mana if he didn't want to go into a coma or enter a weakened state.
He didn't plan to enter a foreign kingdom while in a weakened state. After a while, a bright magic circle appears on the ground below Angus and Jayna [Divine Magic - Prayer's Room.] *Shiing* A bright light covers Angus and Jayna as four giant humanoid transparent statues appear in their surroundings.
After taking a deep breath, Angus channels all his mana to the Ultimate Weapon spear. The spear released a humming sound as countless small runes covered its body appeared. Angus is surprised at these small moving runes but ignores them and focuses on channeling his mana to the spear.
The way to use Ultimate Weapon is by consuming all the mana in the user's mana pool before releasing or throwing it. However, there are some loopholes in these rules. Angus found If the user could regenerate fast enough, they didn't need to empty all their mana reserves.
They only need to expend mana as much as their maximum mana capacity. Of course, more mana will make the Ultimate Weapon stronger. Soon, the Ultimate Weapon changes shape into a big spear with a lightning spark all over its body.
Unlike before, The Ultimate Weapon didn't burn Angus' hand and hover above his hand while Angus sent his mana to it. During this time, Anna and the others stop playing around and look at Angus curiously.
"Wooahh... Isn't that Sparkling-sparkling spear?!!" commented Anna.
"Sparkling spear?!" asked Darren while coming in front of Mira.
Darren is fully equipped with red armor and ready to summon his greatest army. He didn't know why but his instinct told him the spear in Angus's hand was dangerous and capable of killing him.
Suddenly, Angus closes his eyes and throws the spear into the air [Ultimate Weapon - Snipe Throw]. *BOOOM* The spear flew fast like a meteor and disappeared from everyone's vision.
At the same time, Angus feels weak. Still, his mana keeps regenerating at a fast speed with the help of Jayna and his own mana regeneration.
Prayer's Room not only increases his power and mana regeneration, but it is also capable of sharing mana with their allies. Jayna already transfers her mana to Angus while he charges the Ultimate Weapon Spear.
Using his own mana and Jayna, he charges the Ultimate Weapon spear with more mana than his own maximum mana before releasing it.
In the meantime, a group of people is traveling in the middle of Humnia Grassland. The group looks like an ordinary merchant traveler with many adventurers as guards. These groups slowly moved towards the Nergal's border.
They didn't bother to rest even though their horse was exhausted after a whole day of travel. In the middle of their group, there are a few big caravans filled with people in heavy armor.
Inside one of the caravans, a woman was bound in rope and bruised all over her face. The woman has similar blonde hair and a similar look to Brigida. Everyone who doesn't know Princess Brigida will think they are the same person or Brigida's twin.
"I'll ask you once again. Where is my sister?!!" asked Crown Prince Arnet while sitting.
After using a decoy to buy them time, Arnet and his group decide to return to the Nergal under the disguise of a merchant group. Fortunately, yesterday's event made many people leave Craghost Town in a hurry.
Therefore, they could sneak out easily from the Heart Kingdom's spy. Moreover, Roy also divulged some information about the spy in Craghost Town and managed to easily avoid them. As a result, Roy himself is weakened and almost dies.
