I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

"Come on, Angus. We can do this all day unless you land a hit on me." Said the duke

"Shut up, old man. This is child abuse." replied Angus while becoming desperate as more [Firebolt] kept coming at him.

"Really??! but you still haven't gotten hurt yet, so let's increase the pace." as the duke summoned dozens of [Firebolt] at once.

"Shiitt!!" Angus looked at the incoming [Firebolt] that did not leave him any room to dodge. *BOMM*

"Hmm.. Did I hit too hard?" asked the duke.

"Damn it, old man!! That hurt." yelled Angus while he managed to protect his body with mana in time.

"Ohh.. you are still alive. Let's con…" Suddenly, Angus arrived in front of the duke and attacked him at a fast speed.

However, the duke could dodge all the attacks easily while occasionally countering with more incredible speed.

Soon, both of them already exchange hundreds of blows without any of them getting a clean hit. Because of Angus's high perception and body control, he could easily dodge his father's moves despite being slower than him.

As for the duke, Jacob himself, he is limiting his own strength, but as a grade 6 combatant, his perception and body strength is already many times higher than Angus. He could see all the Angus move in slow motion.

At this moment, the duke noticed that Angus's attack had somehow become better. It seems that all his attacks always follow where Jacob will dodge. Still, because of the massive gap in strength, Jacob just moves faster to avoid his attack.

'This is.. he is predicting my movement. No, he is learning my fighting pattern. What a monstrous kid!!' as Jacob becomes harder to counterattack.

"You are still too early to challenge me in hand-to-hand combat, brat!!" As suddenly, Jacob punched Angus's stomach before he could dodge or react.

Angus flew backward like a ragdoll and hit the wall hard. Even the enchanted walls receive a crack before they start to repair themself.

"Damn, I guess it's hard to control my strength at this level. Well, he will pass out for…" Jacob stops his sentence as he feels a dangerous aura from Angus's direction.

At this moment, Angus also got a notification, "Warning!! Foreign Energy detected inside the host." a system warning appearing on Angus's vision.

"Warning!! Foreign Energy detected inside the host."

Suddenly, Angus feels a familiar sensation from his inside. "T-this is… Damn it!! Don't die, Father." said Angus before fell into consciousness.

"Huh??!" as Jacob didn't understand any of this.

Suddenly, Angus released a beastly roar, "RRRAAAAAARRGGGG…"

Before releasing a massive amount of concentrated mana towards the surrounding. Then, Angus disappeared and appeared in front of Jacob to punch him using ten times more speed than before.

However, using his reflex, Jacob flicks his finger and creates [3rd Circle - Fire Barrier] around him. Looking at his attack being blocked, Angus began to attack the [Fire Barrier] madly from various directions. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*

As Jacob analyzes his son's situation, "This is [Possession]. No, it's different. It feels like a burst of mana inside him, but there is no trace of soul on it like the [Possession]."

At this moment, the attack becomes stronger, and a crack starts to appear at the Jacob [Fire Barrier].

"Tch… What an absurd strength. [2nd Circle - Bind]" as Jacob cast a mana chain to catch Angus.

However, Angus is too fast and easily dodges all the chains while trying to hit Jacob. After casting [Bind] several times, Jacob notices Angus's power and speed become greater. However, he is also becoming more reckless.

"This mana feeling is much more violent, almost like those miasmas but also different. But the amount is ridiculous. Better stop him first before it damages his body more." Jacob notices that Angus didn't care about the wound in his fist during attacking his [Fire Barrier]

"You leave no choice, brat! [3rd Circle - Fire Wyrm]" Soon, a gigantic fire creature appears in front of Jacob and starts chasing Angus. Still, Angus's speed is faster than the [Fire Wyrm] itself.

Using this opportunity, Jacob gathered huge mana and cast another spell [4th Circle - Vulcan Shots]. Jacob raises his hand and creates a massive fireball on it. Then, the ball suddenly scatters into a tiny fireball before following Angus along with [Fire Wyrm].

Left with no area to dodge, Angus could only defend using his incredible mana. Using this chance, [Fire Wyrm] immediately apprehended him.

Looking that Angus stopped, Jacob instacast spells to bind Angus. [Bind] [Entangle] [Mana Prison]. Angus immediately gets bound by this variety of spells.

However, Angus is still growling like a mad beast and trying to destroy the binding one by one. Before it could be released from its binding, Jacob arrived in front of him and touched Angus's head [3rd Circle - Deep Sleep].

Being hit by this spell, Angus immediately falls asleep like a log leaving only destruction in the room. Looking at Angus falling into a deep sleep and his mana starting to calm down, Jacob finally felt relieved.

"Haa… What a troublesome child. I thought only Leon needed to deal with this. Now I also got this." said the duke while bringing Angus out of the training room.

The following day, the duke family had breakfast together like usual without the presence of Angus.

"Angus got a backlash when he tried to cast a spell?!" asked Vergil to his father.

"Yeah, However. It's nothing to worry about. He will be okay in a week. I already checked his condition, and there is nothing to worry about. Still, you should let him rest, and I will call a doctor to check him up." Reassure the Duke.

"Hmph… serve him right trying to show off when he is weak." said Jason coldly.

"Brother!!" Shout Vergil

"What?? it's his fault that he is lazy and weak." Counter Jason.

"Alright, That's enough!!" Reprimand the duke while leaking a little bit of his mana.

"Sorry, Father." said Jason and Vergil before both of them sat back.

"*Sigh* Anyway, I will go out for days or weeks. I suggest you mind your behavior." as the duke finishes his breakfast and stands up.

Before he left his two sons, "Oh yeah, one more thing. Don't let Angus fight anyone until I come back." warned the Duke.

"Huh?! Why??" asked Vergil.

"I said don't let Angus fight anyone. Did I make myself clear?!" As the duke speaks in a more stern tone.

"Y-Yes, Father." Both Vergil and Jason immediately replied.

Then, the duke leaves the dining room and goes towards Angus's room to check his condition.

'Huft.. Luckily no one saw yesterday's event, and the strain in Angus's body is minimal. Still, what is that kind of mana?' thought the duke Jacob before arriving at Angus's room.

Entering the room, the duke only saw his son sleep peacefully on the bed. Looking at his mysterious son, he felt a complicated feeling.

Before finally walking away leaving the room, Duke Jacob suddenly stopped. "Angus, you're already awake. aren't you?"
