I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

"Does everyone that wins the fight need to explain their ability? Ridiculous!!" said Jade.

In the meantime, Angus already brings Jayna out of the arena to tend her wound. The Battle Arena medical team also already gives some first aid to the unconscious Nigul.

During this time, one of the medical team notified the referee that there was not a single trace of foreign mana from the Nigul's wound. Knowing this, the referee immediately made his decision.

"Alright, everyone. Our decision is clear. The battle between Nigul and the Sword Princess is valid. The Sword Princess didn't use any mana at all. We couldn't even find any trace of mana in Nigul's wound."

"Those who still do not disagree with the result will be considered to challenge the Battle Arena's authority." Announce the referee.

Hearing the referee's declaration, everyone who was losing bet couldn't help but let go of the matter. It is better to lose their money than challenge the Battle Arena's authority which also challenges the Porros itself.

Moreover, there is Jade, a seventh-grade combatant, who is still standing on the Sword Princess side. Any sane person will immediately let the matter go since it is not worth the trouble.

Losing his audience's voice, Obo immediately tried to run away and escape the Battle Arena. On the way, he met with Vigo along with Gilford and others.

"Why so hurry? Do you want to go somewhere?" said Gilford playfully.

"Obo, it's time to pay for your crime." said Vigo.

"N-No… Y-You are cheating!!" said Obo while stepping back only to bump into a person.

Looking behind, he finds Jade glaring at Obo. Seeing this, Obo knows that escaping is futile and slumps on the ground signify his resignation.

As per the contract, Obo immediately forced Vigo to pay a tremendous amount of money towards Vigo and leave the Porros at once.

The money Obo needs to pay is enormous, more than five thousand grade-four cores. This happens because Obo makes Vigo's debt very high to balance Vigo's enslavement condition in the contract. After settling down and ending Vigo's problem, Jade approaches Vigo.

"I don't know the exact condition you have with Lady Jayna. But, if you dare to betray or double-cross her kindness, you will get something worse than death." said Jade before going away.

For Jade, Jayna is not only a genius combatant. Her boldness and decisive nature are similar to Leon, his old friend and the one he vows to serve.

He will never let any harm fall for his old friend's daughter. Otherwise, even when he came back to Firuman, he could never face Leon again. Seeing Jade and everyone going away, Vigo immediately bowed his head.

"Thank you. I will not disappoint all of you." said Vigo resolutely.

In the meantime, inside one of the private rooms at the battle arena. Angus begins to tend Jayna's wound.

"Angus, it's okay. My wound is already starting to heal." said Jayna.

But, Angus didn't care and began to undress her clothes carefully. After seeing the crimson fire mend her severe wound, Angus begins to feel relief.

"See, I told you. I am fine. Now, turn back, I need to get dress…" said Jayna.

Before Jayna finishes her sentence, Angus already silences her with a deep kiss in her mouth. Feeling the warm sensation in her lips, Jayna didn't resist and accepted Angus's gentle embrace.

After having a short intimate session, "I think I should let you fight a high-grade combatant." said Angus.

"Ehh.. Why?? didn't you always prevent me from fighting a high-grade combatant alone?" said Jayna.

"Well, I will not hide you. You really make me worry like hell. But, if every time you get wounded means a more intimate session like this. I think it's worth it." said Angus playfully.

"Hmph.. Pervert!!" said Jayna while covering her body and pouting.

After that, Jayna begins to dress up with spare clothes. Her wounds are already healed during their intimate session. Since Jayna didn't use any mana during the fight, her recovery is accelerated than usual with the help of her current mana.

This is also the reason why casualty is very low in the Battle Arena. Most of the combatants will begin to recover quickly after getting out of the arena with the help of their own mana.

Seeing her exquisite skin, Angus couldn't help but want to eat her and make Jayna completely his. During this time, Jayna who is still dressing up, also notices Angus trying to look away from her body. She couldn't help but be happy and wanted to tease Angus more.

Noticing Jayna's playful smile, "Jayna, what happened during your last attack? You seem to change into Fire Phoenix completely." said Angus trying to distract Jayna and his lustful mind.

"Oh.. About that. Actually, I met Fire Phoenix and…" said Jayna as she told about her experience and conversation with Fire Phoenix.

After hearing Jayna's story, Angus begins to silence and think for a while.

"Say, Jayna, she said that now you are part of Fire Phoenix and Fire Phoenix is part of you. Does it mean she also accepts me as your lover?" asked Angus.

"Hmm.. Now you mention it. I am also not too sure. Since this is the first time I have talked to her. Why? Were you afraid of losing me?" said Jayna teasingly.

"Of course, I will always be afraid of losing you. Well, From your story, the Fire Phoenix seems to be very prideful. She even lent you a help to defeat Nigul so as not to lose against him. It just makes me think that if I am worthy of becoming your lover." said Angus.

Hearing this, Jayna approaches Angus and kisses him.

After a while, "Don't worry, you are the only person that is worthy of having me. You are nothing compared to others." said Jayna.

Subconsciously, during Jayna's last sentence, her tone changed a little bit. Jayna herself didn't notice this change as it only happened in a moment.

As for Angus, he clearly notices Jayna's change and knows that the one that talks just now is Fire Phoenix. But, seeing Jayna didn't notice it. Angus decided not to talk about it.

As long as Jayna is still herself and not changing too much, he doesn't care if it is Jayna or Fire Phoenix. He knows both of them are already merged at this point.

Besides, They are also already going too far to break up just for this thing. If he wants to truly love Jayna, he also needs to love her Fire Phoenix side. After that, both of them immediately get out of the room and meet everyone.

In the meantime, inside Jayna's inner mind, there is a single big tree with crimson leaves. On the tree branch, there is a red-haired woman who is sitting leisurely while humming.

"Of course, you are worthy. You are the only person that managed to beat me." said the red-haired woman before humming again.

Then, Angus and the others separate to do their own things. Mia, Ilgor, and Millie decide to stay in the battle arena while Jade and Gilford venture on their own. As for Angus, Jayna and Anna decide to go back to the inn to rest.

Soon, the night came to Porros. Despite it being nighttime, Porros city is still lively like in the day. Currently, inside one of the medical rooms in the Battle Arena, a person with many burn marks on his body lay on the bed.

This man is none other than Nigul, the swordmaster expert that fights Jayna during the day. Suddenly, another person appeared from thin air beside Nigul's body. Just as the person wanted to touch Nigul, a sharp aura erupted from Nigul.

"What do you think you are doing, Lea?" said Nigul while still lying on the bed.

"Ohh my, you are still alive." replied the person beside Nigul.

"Like this kind of wound could kill me? What brings you here?" asked Nigul.

"Well, I heard you were defeated by a little girl in the Battle Arena. So, I might as well visit you. Aren't you glad you get visited by a pretty woman like me?" said Lea.

Nigul didn't reply to Lea's remark and only glared at her.

"Hmph.. Cold man as always. Anyway, your loss is quite unexpected. Did you need my help in cleansing your name?" said Lea.

"What are you planning to do, Lea?" said Nigul coldly.

"Well, I can erase this little girl who tarnishes your name." said Lea while playing with a dagger.

"Don't think about it. It is already a shame for me to lose. Now, I even need you to help me get revenge. Who do you think I am?" said Nigul while releasing his sharp aura.

"Oi.. Oi.. chill down. You may not know this. But, that little girl has a seventh-grade combatant at her side. Getting revenge on her will be harder. But, for me, it is just a piece of cake." said Lea.

"Enough!! She is my target. I don't know what kind of power she used at the last moment. But, I will get my revenge by myself. I don't need your help or anything. Otherwise, I will be the one that hunts you down." said Nigul.
