Ending their shopping, Angus and the others come back to the Sur village camp. On the way, Angus notices Neil walking absent-mindedly without seeing them. However, Angus didn't think much about it and ignored him.

Arriving at the camp, Angus finds that many of the villagers have started to pack their things. Apparently, the village leader Jade decided to leave the Ancestral Ruin tomorrow. So, the villagers are beginning to pack and sort their things now.

There is a lot of stuff that needs to be sorted and managed. Since in the last few weeks, they have done many big transactions with various different parties. Knowing this, Angus and the others also decide to pack their things.

There is not much to pack as most of their things are in their space storage. Angus also decides to give Anna one of his bracelet storage items in his possession for her use. Then, they decided to rest early before going back to the Sur village tomorrow.

The next day, the others started to dismantle the tent and stored them inside the space storage. Then, Jade led the others out from the Ancestral Ruin. Soon, they begin to run in the endless scorching Surya desert.

None of the villagers mind the heat since they are already used to it. After a few hours of continuous running, Jade decided to stop to let the low-grade people rest.

While they rest, some of the people start to eat and drink to replenish their energy. There is still another whole day of running ahead of them. Besides that, they also need to fight some monsters along the way.

As the others start to eat and drink, Angus and the others also decide to join the other villagers. Just as Angus tastes the food, he finds strange things inside the food.

The strange thing is tasteless, but the moment it touches his tongue and enters his mouth, he immediately knows this is something that will harm the body, like the poison he used to train his body.

"*Bueeh* Everyone stops eating!! There is poison inside the food!!" shouted Angus while vomiting the things he ate.

Hearing this, everyone immediately threw their food. However, it is already too late. Everyone starts to feel their body become more rigid. Only the high-grade combatants somehow managed to suppress the poison.

Jayna subconsciously flaring up her mana and burns the poison that enters the body. Meanwhile, Ilgor also starts to suppress the poison inside his body. As an orc, he has high resistance towards toxins, but it seems the venom is very potent and still affects his body.

The only one that looks fine is Anna, who is still eating the food happily after checking her body is fine. Feeling a bad premonition, Angus used [Great Mana Echolocation] to detect the surrounding area.

"Uncle, there are a group of people approaching from that direction." shouted Angus.

Hearing this, "Everyone gets on your guard!!" shouted Jade.

"High-grade combatant and those that could move to get ready to battle!!" command Jade.

However, at this moment, *Crack* *Whoosh* inside the camp appears a gigantic giant with red veins all over its body [5th Circle - Summon Infernal].

Since the infernal is coming from the rune item, it could not be controlled and began to rampage, killing the poisoned villager. Jade immediately runs towards Infernal to clash and hold it.

"Evacuate from the area!!" shouted Jade.

"Evacuate the others and help the leaders!!" command Jane as she takes out her great axe to help contain the Infernal.

"Urgh.. Go Alfredo!!" said Gilford while still trying to suppress the poison inside his body.

"Leaders, a group of people is approaching!!"

"Shit!! Jane, Gilford, I will leave the infernal to you. Others, follow my lead!! Show them the power of Sur village!!" Yelled Jade.

"WOW!!" shouted the combatant that is not getting poison.

A moment later, a group of people wearing black clothes approach at a fast speed towards Jade. The leader of the approaching group immediately clashes with Jade in the front. *BAM*

"It is you, Farkas!!" said Jade.

"Hahaha… Our plot once again is revealed early, but it seems most of your men are getting poisoned. Today is your death, Jade!!" said Farkas while clashing with Jade.

"You are a madman, Farkas!! Does losing your men before is not enough?!!" shouted Jade while fending off Farkas's attack.

"Hahaha… You should be the one that worries your people, not me." replied Farkas while attacking Jade.

At this moment, Jade notices that most of his men couldn't fight properly under the poison. Only the fifth-grade elder managed to fight while suppressing the poison. But, they were also preoccupied with many enemies.

Meanwhile, the others could only delay time before getting killed. Seeing this, Jade wanted to help his people, but Farkas didn't let him be and keep Jade occupied.

At the same time, Angus and the others who managed to avoid the poison began to fight with the enemy and help the others evacuate. Still, there are too many enemies and people to protect at the same time.

Looking at this, Angus immediately started casting spells and overcharged them. A few moments later, "Jayna gave me fire!! [2nd Circle - Fire Oil]." yelled Angus.

Jayna immediately creates a fire slash towards Fire Oil [Crimson Slash]. *BOOOMM* The combination attack soon created a massive explosion and deterred the enemy. Using this chance, the poisoned villagers finally could get a little breath and retreat from the battle.

*Crack* *Whoosh* [5th Circle - Summon Infernal] as they retreat, another infernal comes out of nowhere. The poisoned villagers couldn't help but get butchering like a sheep in front of the wolf.

"Shit, another one!!" shouted Isvel, who was in front of the Infernal giant.

Isvel body was still poisoned and couldn't move properly. While he tried to get away, the Infernal hit Isvel and sent him dozens of meters away. *Crack* *Crack* *Bam* Even Isvel's life-saving item couldn't hold the infernal's attack.

"ISVEL!!!" Yelled Gilford, who perceived the battlefield situation.

The others also notice this and are immediately solemn. Jade, who finds his son getting injured without an unknown fate, becomes angry.

"RAAAGGGHHHH!!!" yelled Jade as his body started to turn into a red color.

Farkas, who sees that Jade's aura is increasing, couldn't help but be surprised.

"T-This is... " muttered Farkas while having a cold sweat.

At this moment, Jade's aura stagnated after reaching a certain threshold.

'Damn it, how could he still become stronger?!! I thought he was going to reach the seventh-grade realm.' curse Farkas inwardly.

Jade turns into a ball of fire and approaches Farkas, "Meteorite Smash!!" yelled Jade.

Farkas didn't dare to slack off and use his highest skill to fend off Jade's attack [Infernal Fist]. *BOOM*

Both of the attacks clash with each other, but Jade manages to push Farkas back and send him away at the last moment. Not wanting to let Farkas go, Jade began to pursue Farkas relentlessly.

In the meantime, Angus using [Beast Walk], goes towards Isvel side to check his condition.

"Jayna, I leave this place to you. I will help Isvel." said Angus leaving the place.

However, the infernal seems to target Isvel, still lying down after killing the nearby villagers.

Angus immediately takes his rune card and activates it [3rd Circle - Fire Blast]. *Whossh* *BAMM* The infernal giant gets attacked directly and moves backward a little bit. Still, the infernal giant is only damaged a little bit from the attack.

Using this opportunity, Angus brings Isvel carefully towards a safe location while he's checking the condition.

'A lot of bone fractures and internal wounds. I need to help him fast. Otherwise, he will die.' thought Angus.

"Everyone, protect me!! I need to help Isvel as soon as possible." shouted Angus towards the people in the surrounding.

Hearing this, some people immediately take guard near Angus while giving him some space. In the meantime, the first infernal finally got destroyed after receiving many punches from Alfredo and Jane's attack.

Gilford immediately sent Alfredo to handle the second Infernal. Both of them directly clash and create a shockwave towards the surrounding area. While all of the chaotic battles still happen, a person silently approaches Angus from the crowd protecting him.

Just as the person wanted to stab Angus in the back, a shadow spike hit the person's hand. *ARGGHH* Neil didn't expect Draven to attack from the shadow suddenly. Everyone immediately notices this and is confused.

"Young master Neil, what are you doing?" asked one of the villagers.

Neil didn't answer and launched another attack towards the defenseless Angus. At this moment, a small fist coming at breakneck speed hit Neil. *BAM* Neil didn't expect such an attack and got thrown back a few meters away.

Fortunately, his life-saving item activates and protects him at the right moment. In front of Neil, Anna looks at Neil with her deep pitch-black eyes.

"Why? Why did you want to hurt Angus??" said Anna coldly.

"Arrghh.. You outsider, move!! I will deal with you later after I kill Angus!!" yelled Neil madly.
