[2nd Circle - Water Torrent] A burst of water sprouting from the ground below the grounder spot. Still, the grounder managed to detect this earlier and retreat from the location.

Then, the grounder decides to approach the ice maiden from the side where there is no ice wall. While the grounder took a detour, he failed to notice the [Water Torrent] slowly becoming a cold mist and making the arena colder.

At this moment, the ice maiden already prepares another few [Frost Bolt] in the air, ready to be launched. Looking at the incoming [Frost Bolt], the grounder coats his weapon with mana and throws it [Axe art - Axe Boomerang].

The grounder's axe flies and destroys all the ice maiden [Frost Bolts] in the air before catching it again. All of this happens while the grounder keeps approaching Ice maiden.

As he arrives a few meters away from the Ice Maiden, the grounder suddenly feels he loses his balance and falls to the ground. At this moment, he couldn't feel his feet. When he looks at his feet, it is already rooted in his previous spot, completely frozen.

Because of his running momentum, he broke his own frozen feet without his notice. A moment later, he finally felt the acute pain from losing his feet. *Arrggh* screamed the grounder.

Before the grounder could say another word, a few [Frost Bolt] impaled him and froze his inner organ. In the end, he finally turned into a frozen sculpture.

Looking at the veteran grounder killed without any chance to say a word, the audience immediately reacted loudly. Some of them are cheering the ice maiden as they win the bet. Some of them booed her as they lost the bet.

While some other people look at the ice maiden with interest, like Angus. An ice elemental affinity is quite rare, especially with a great mastery like the Ice Maiden.

After the battle ends, the Ice maiden loots the grounder's belongings before getting out of the arena. At this time, Angus only looked at her for a while before finding Jayna beside him, pouting at him.

"Err.. Jayna, is something wrong?" asked Angus.

"N-Nothing." replied Jayna coldly.

Knowing that he did something wrong and made her angry. Angus tries to pacify her, but she keeps ignoring Angus while grumbling.

"Jayna, I am sorry. How about I accompany you to sleep tonight?" said Angus.

Hearing this, Jayna was startled a little bit, "W-Who wants to sleep with a pervert who looks at another woman like you?!!" replied Jayna.

'I see.. So, it is because I look at that woman. Haa.. How troublesome. She could just say it in the first place.' thought Angus inwardly.

Suddenly, a man approached the two of them. "Oh my, what a beauty? Did this boy happen to annoy you? I could take care of him if you want." said the man with blue hair and a fit body.

Hearing this, Angus and Jayna immediately ignored the blue-haired baboon and continued to watch the arena.

Getting ignored by the two of them, the blue-haired man feels an awkward situation. However, he couldn't do anything excessive inside the arena.

The blue-haired man immediately tried to relieve the awkwardness, "Hey, beauty. I have never seen you here before. Are you a newcomer?" asked the person again to Jayna.

But, Jayna didn't respond to him. Suddenly, the man tries to grab Jayna's hand forcefully. At this moment, another hand grips the man's hand. *Crack* *Arrgghh*

The man's wrist breaks under Angus's grip. The scream from the man creates some commotion towards the surrounding. Some arena guards immediately appear in their location.

"What's going on here?" said one of the guards.

"H-He attacked me. Look, he broke my wrist out of nowhere." said the blue-haired man while pointing at Angus.

'Hehehe… Let's see how you get out of this, newcomer?' thought the man.

Hearing the blue-haired man's accusation, the guard looked at each other before observing Angus. However, they couldn't even feel his strength besides the aura of grade one mana core.

After some suggestion from uncle Jade, Angus decided to only reveal a grade one aura rather than completely hide it.

Based on uncle Jade's experience, someone that could conceal their mana core aura is unique and getting more unwanted attention. So, Angus decides to reveal only his first-grade mana core.

Considering that Angus is only a first-grade combatant, "Sir, is that true that you broke his wrist?" asked the guard.

"I am not sure about it. I just grab his hand casually since he seems to want to shake hands with me. But, suddenly, he screamed like a lady. So, I am not sure what happened." said Angus.

Hearing this, "Y-You.. Lying!! How could you say that kind of strength is casually grabbing??" yelled the blue-haired man.

The guard also looked at Angus's ridiculous reason. All the guard knows that the blue-haired man is a third-grade combatant. It is not possible to break his hand easily.

Looking at the guard also siding with the blue-haired baboon, "Hmmm… Then, why don't we shake hands? Let's see if my casual grip is strong or not?" said Angus with an evil smile while sticking out his hand.

At this moment, the guard's instinct tells them that if they shake hands with Angus, their hand will break. Just looking at the hand makes all of them have a cold sweat. It feels like Angus's hand could rip them apart just with its strength alone.

"Err… Sir, this is a battlefield arena. If you have a conflict, please settle them down in the arena." said the guard while having a bad feeling about the man in front of him.

"What if I don't want to?" replied Angus.

"Then, we will be forced to detain both of you because you cause a commotion here." replied the guard.

Despite the bad feeling he got from Angus, the guard still believed that he could not do anything in front of the Battlefield Arena.

Hearing this, Jayna realizes that she is finally a complication to Angus. As she approaches Angus, he suddenly holds her hand and looks at her with a confident smile. Looking at this, Jayna feels kind of safe and relieved.

Didn't want to complicate the matter any further, "Alright then, let's settle this in the arena." said Angus lazily.

"You are dead, boy." said the blue-haired man.

Soon both of them came down to the arena after signing the contract prepared by the Arena's staff.

During the way down, "Fufufu.. Don't worry, after I kill you, I will take care of your girl." said the blue-haired man.

At this moment, Angus's expression becomes cold for a second before turning expressionless. After waiting for a while, they finally get an empty arena for their fight.

The arena is made of stone slabs around 15 square meters big. It is not too huge but also not too small for one person to fight.

The referee started to do some introduction and a few basic rules. During this time, the blue-haired man keeps provoking Angus but Angus ignores him with an expressionless face.

At this moment, the man's hand already healed with the help of the potion and his own healing spell.

Then, the referee went out of the arena and erected a barrier along the arena before starting the fight. As the battle starts, the blue-haired man immediately starts casting a spell.

The blue-haired man thought of Angus as a warrior from their previous encounter and decided to prepare a long-distance spell.

During his casting, he sees a small blue ball coming towards him [1st Circle Spell - Mana Ball]. Unlike an ordinary mana ball, the mana ball travels fast like a paintball shot.

Although it is not quite fast, it is still fast enough not to be avoided easily. *Bum* The blue mana ball hit the man's abdomen and left a red bruise on his stomach.

"Y-You are a magician?" asked the blue-haired man.

But, Angus already shot many enhanced blue mana towards him. *Bum* *Bum* *Bum* The mana ball keeps hitting the man's body and leaving many bruises. Even though he enhanced himself with mana, the mana ball still hurt him.

While all of this happens, Angus walks slowly towards the blue-haired man with an expressionless face. Angus keeps firing the mana ball nonstop towards the man without mercy.

Even the man trying to avoid them, the mana ball always seems to follow him since Angus perfectly grasped his movement.

Can't stand of such situation and torture, "ARRGGHH" roared the blue-haired man while flaring up his body. The mana offset the pain in his body.

However, this also makes him a vulnerable target to Angus. Using this split second, Angus shot the small mana ball towards his throat and hit his adam's apple, making him lose control of his mana along with an uncomfortable pain in his throat.

Then, Angus continues to torture the vulnerable blue-haired man under his mana ball attack. After a while of torture, "Stop.. St…" *Bum* Once again, Angus shot his throat, not letting him speak.

Angus also shot his hand to prevent him from covering his vital part. Finally, Angus arrived in front of him. At this moment, The man's face is already covered with tears, snot, and bleeding along with various bruises.

Angus aimed his finger at his eye with an expressionless face and shot another mana ball at point-blank range. *Bum*
