I Just want a Peaceful life

Knowing the absurd magical product in his hand, Angus begins to be curious and wants to unravel all its secrets. 

Using [Analyze], he found that the tiny core actually has a highly complex rune enchantment. He feels that the rune enchantment is like being alive and keeps adapting.

Seeing Angus's surprise, "Now, you know why I want to recruit him. Moreover, this is just one of his masterpieces. He also has other products such as magical bombs and other machinery weapons. All of them are quite revolutionary and extraordinary." said Gilford.

"I still didn't understand why everyone is ostracizing a person like him. Although Porros is emphasized more towards weapons and armor, they should at least realize the value of things Vigo made. If it is reached outside, he will become a wealthy person already." said Gilford..

"True, But it seems his problem is more complex than we thought. He said he couldn't get out of Porros. It means he may also have special permission like us." said Angus.

"Now, you mention it. It also starts to make sense. Anyway, you should look at this..." as Gilford showed some of Vigo's products.

While Angus and Gilford are chatting with each other, the girls are chatting while playing with pouting Anna, who keeps getting hugged by the girls. 

As they tell more about their adventure in the past year, *BOM* an explosion sound was heard from Angus and Gilford's direction. Everyone looks at Gilford, who is just trying Vigo's magical bomb.

"It's Kaboom.. Kaboom…" said Anna excitedly while getting out from the girl's hug.

At the same time, "Are you sure? He said this is just a modified grade one magical bomb?" asked Angus, who also noticed the incoming Anna.

"Yeah, Vigo even said the material he used is cheaper than a magical bomb. His motto is not to use an expensive material for something that will be blown up." said Gilford.

"Angus, it's kaboom!! I also want to try kaboom." said Anna excitedly.

"Anna, this is not a toy. Maybe you will have a chance to use it." replied Angus.

"Boohoo.. Meanie, Stinky, Angus." said Anna while pouting.

"So.. Cute!!" exclaimed the girls.

At this moment, Ilgor comes into the backyard.

"Master, you are here." said Ilgor.

Looking at her usual punching bag coming, "Yey.. Weak green bubble, there you are." said Anna while dashing towards Ilgor.

In the blink of an eye, Anna already arrives in front of Ilgor and punches him using her tiny fist. Ilgor didn't stay still and also brandished his axe to parry the incoming punch. *BAM* 

The two forces clashed and created airwaves in the air. Seeing the cute Anna produce such a strong attack surprised both Millie and Mia.

"L-Lady Jayna, you are not joking when you said Anna is strong." said Millie.

"Y-Yeah, but I think Millie's still stronger." said Mia.

"Ehh.. No way, I am still weak." replied Millie.

"Millie, you are strong. Even a high-grade monster or beast is no match in front of your power." said Mia.

"Hee.. That's interesting. Why don't we have a little bit spar?" said Jayna as she was getting excited while ignoring the battle between Ilgor and Anna.

"Ahh.. N-No way. I can't, Lady Jayna." refused Millie.

"She is right, Jayna. Whatever you say, she is still the Heart Kingdom noble and will never fight you seriously." said Angus.

"Y-Yeah, that's right." replied Millie in relief.

"Then, why don't you spar with me. I am quite curious about this soul power of yours." said Angus.

"N-No.. I mean, soul power is not suitable for sparring. You may hurt badly or worse." explained Millie hurriedly.

"Well, as long as I didn't get hit. It's fine, right?" replied Angus as he did light stretching.

"B-But... " said Millie.

"It's okay, Millie. You can do it. Show Angus your progress after this one year." said Mia.

"A-Alright." said Millie while resolving herself.

'It seems not only Jayna, but even Millie also changes and become more mature.' thought Angus inwardly.

After Ilgor gets pummeled by Anna like usual, Angus and Millie get into the middle of the backyard. Using this time, Gilford asked Jayna about Millie.

"Ehh… Disciple of Soul Keeper and could use Soul Power." exclaimed Gilford.

"Yeah, did you know something about Soul Power?" asked Jayna.

"Well, I think there are several books about soul power, but none describe it in detail. It is the most mysterious yet bizarre power in this world. The only one that is known to be able to use it is those Soul keepers." explained Gilford.

At this time, Angus and Millie are ready themself.

"Millie, don't worry about hurting me. You should get all out. Otherwise, you are the one that will get hurt." said Angus.

"A-Alright." said Millie before taking a deep breath.

Suddenly, the atmosphere around Millie changed. Millie's temperament also turns cold and expressionless. 

"I will go first." said Millie.

Out of nowhere, a gray ball appears from her hand and moves towards Angus [Soul Ball]. Looking at the approaching Soul Ball, Angus could feel a strange feeling from it. But he decided not to touch it and dodge it effortlessly. 

The Soul Ball passed him, but suddenly it turned around and went towards Angus's back. Using his superb perception, Angus also notices this and dodges the Soul Ball again. 

However, the Soul Ball keeps pursuing him like a homing missile. In the meantime, Millie begins to chant in a low voice.

"Tch.. What an annoying ball. [1st Circle - Firebolt]." said Angus as he shot Firebolt towards the ball. 

*Bam* The Firebolt clashed with Soul Ball for a moment before getting overpowered by the Soul Ball. Angus is surprised looking at this, as his Firebolt is not just an ordinary Firebolt. Its firepower could even hurt high-grade combatants, yet it is still being overpowered by it.

"What a weird ball?" said Angus as he kept shooting Firebolt towards it.

*Bam* *Bam* *Bam* Angus notices that its size becomes smaller each time Soul Ball clashes with his Firebolt. While Angus is preoccupied with Soul Ball, Millie has already finished her chant.

"Ar So Fur Erha.. [Soul Chain]." said Millie.

Suddenly, many chains appear from thin air catching Angus's limb. Angus couldn't even react before he got completely bound. Angus tries to fight back, but the chain is very durable and strong.

"Haa… Ha.. It's futile to struggle. It is a chain made of soul. It couldn't be broken by normal means. Ha.. Ha.. So, Did you give up?" said Millie as she had a ragged breath after casting the spell.

"Interesting… But, I also do not just stay idle all this time. Active!! [2nd Circle - Water Torrent]" said Angus

A burst of water immediately came out below Millie and launched her in the air. Then, another magic circle appeared on the ground below her [1st Circle - Entangle]. A group of vines grows fast and binds Millie in the air.

"I am not done yet. [Hellfire - Flame Armor]" said Angus as his entire body was enveloped with burning fire.

Despite the high temperature of the fire, Angus's body and clothes are completely fine.

"Hee.. it can even withstand this kind of temperature. What an interesting chain?" said Angus as he raised the fire temperature using Hellfire ancient power.

After Angus's Flame Armor becomes a crimson-hot that could even melt a stone, the Soul Chain begins to deteriorate bit by bit. Combined with the pressure Angus gave using his physical power, the Soul Chain broke after a moment later. *Clang*

Seeing this feat surprised both Millie and Mia. In their knowledge, Soul Chain is a very durable chain that even a fifth-grade beast couldn't get out from its bind. 

Moreover, the Soul Chain has absorption properties, making the victim weaker, strengthening the chain. Just by having these properties, Soul Chain could be said to be the ultimate binding skill.

However, unbeknown to Angus and everyone, the Soul Chain properties didn't work for him but got weaker as it continuously touched Angus. Combined with the heat and Angus's strength, the Soul Chain breaks in no time.

"It is really an impressive skill. So, is there anything you want to show me?" asked Angus towards the bound Millie.

"Huft.. As expected, Angus is absurd and beyond my expectation. Unfortunately, I already use more than half of my soul power when using Soul Chain. Any more than that, it will become dangerous for me." said Millie.

"I see.. But that Soul Chain is powerful. I bet even some sixth-grade combatants will have a hard time getting out of it." said Angus while releasing Millie from his spell.

At the same time, Gilford and Jayna are surprised at Millie's Soul Chain. Both of them know how strong Angus's physical power is, especially after getting imbued with mana. 

Angus could even match Gilford's Colossus in its human form. This shows that the Soul Chain is powerful and durable.

"As expected of the Soul Power, it is very mysterious and bizarre at the same time. It seems it also has its unique properties." said Gilford while looking at the ground that was being touched by the Soul Ball before.
