Chapter 263: Help Me

"I don't know how but this dimension is actually quite weird. None of the race's community survives in this world. Not only that, most of the superior races such as demons, elves, strong beastkin race, and others also never survive long in this land."

"At first, they could still survive, but most of them get annihilated after a few years, be it from the beast or monster. It feels like the world itself rejects their presence in this dimension. I also thought this was only superstitious and some nonsense.

"But, after our village gets attacked, I start to think this is maybe true. I am afraid that after our village becomes bigger and stronger, we may face the same thing." said Jade.

'The world?!! If I am not wrong, those ancient kings also mention something about the world's will. They refer to me as the anomaly that could change the world. Does my presence change Jade's fate and the Sur village in this dimension?' thought Angus.

After dinner, everyone goes back to their room and rest. Angus also decides to meditate and cultivate his chi like usual. After a few hours of cultivating, he reaches his limit and opens his eyes.

He finds it is still in the middle of the night, and Jayna is still sleeping peacefully on the bed. As his mind is still exhausted from cultivating his chi, he decides to relax his body for the time being.

During this time, he starts to remember the ancient kings from the Ancestral Ruin. According to Draught, the ancient power he got from those ancient kings is more like key access to their true power. 

Unlike the heir who could grasp and master their power faster, Angus and Jayna will have a more challenging time comprehending and using their power. Even after one year of training, he could only use three ancient powers such [Analyze], [Hellfire], and [Unbreakable Shield].

According to Draught, Angus didn't even reach the surface level of those three ancient powers. As for the other ancient powers such as [Light Bringer], [Allegiance], [Life Return], and [The World], he could only use them to detect something or increase his perception.

'Old man Draught said someone that could change the world is not ordinary people. They are even stronger than the current Draught.' thought Angus.

This makes Angus remember about [The World] power he felt back then. No matter how much he uses [Analyze], he feels like it is an unworldly power, unlike what he felt when Draught used his strength.

When Draught used his strength, he could still perceive and comprehend his power a little bit. But, when the oldest ancient king used his power, he couldn't feel it at all. It feels like they are living in different realms or dimensions.

'Haa.. It would be good if I could also use one of the other ancient powers other than for detection.' thought Angus inwardly.

Then, Angus looks at the window and the evening night in the sky.

'Such a strange dimension, despite having a Sur Desert where there is no night, this place still has their day and night weather. I wonder if there is also a star? 

'Well, does this place even have outer space or an end? I bet it is like Draught's dimension where everything is dark.' thought Angus while rambling on his own.

'Wait, darkness.. Light… Without darkness, there is no light, but without light, there is always darkness. Light Bringer, a power to control the light.' thought Angus.

Without realizing it, Angus begins to ponder and comprehend the [Light Bringer]. Soon, the sun goes up, and the sky becomes brighter. At this moment, Angus wakes up from his trace and gets some insight about [Light Bringer].

However, he decided to test his power later as it is not suitable to do it in this room. While thinking this, he notices Jayna wake up from her sleep. Then, both of them have a short intimate relationship before dressing up and preparing for the day.

Jayna plans to go towards the Battle Arena like usual along with the other girls and Ilgor. Battle Arena is also a good place as a source of income to sustain their living inside the Porros. Jayna also could practice and get more experience during the fight.

After dressing up, Angus and Jayna go downstairs to have their breakfast. Arriving at the tavern downstairs, they find Vigo is talking with everyone else. Seeing Angus and Jayna come, Jade decides to go to the inn's backyard to have their private chat.

Arriving in the backyard, Vigo immediately bowed his head.

"Please, help me!!" said Vigo.

"Help you?" asked Jade back.

"Yes… Actually.. " as Vigo explains the story about Obo and the others, which is roughly the same as Angus's story yesterday.

"I see, then what can you do for us? You know we are not running a charity here." said Jade.

Millie wants to say something, but Mia prevents her from talking as she knows what Jade's done is right.

"I.. I can make things. I could make many magical engineer stuff. I will provide you all my services for free if you help me." said  Vigo.

"Hmm… Good. It seems you learned something. However, You are too naive!!" said Jade as he released his seventh-grade aura.

Feeling the aura, Vigo immediately slumps on the ground helplessly.

"Do you think a person like you is worthy of my powers? You could not even stand properly in front of my aura, much less making things for me."

"If you are going to ask something, you at least need to have the same value as what you asked. Want to get a seventh-grade combatant to help you? Dream on!!" said Jade leaving Vigo alone, and went into the inn without giving Vigo a chance to reply.

Looking at this, everyone also decides to go back to the inn.

"Please, help!! I know that I am currently not worthy of getting help from a seventh-grade combatant. B-But, how about you?" said Vigo while bowing his head to Angus.

Seeing this, Angus seems to be thinking about something before looking at the others.

"I refuse." said Angus.

"Ehh.. W-Why??" replied Vigo.

"Well, I am currently too busy to handle your matter." said Angus.

"T-Then…" said Vigo.

"However, I don't know about the others. Although they are not as strong as me, they are quite strong on their own, as you can see from their power yesterday." said Angus cutting Vigo's sentence.

"B-But, Obo and his gang may have an expert behind them. Besides you, I don't think the others could win." said Vigo.

"You may be right. But, nothing in this world is certain. My answer is still the same. Besides, my price is also almost similar to uncle Jade."

"If I want, I could easily dispose of those guys easily without anyone knowing. However, I doubt you could pay for that kind of service with your current capability." said Angus.

Hearing this, Vigo begins to contemplate something before asking again.

"T-Then, how about the others? Will you help me? I am currently only a poor inventor, but I promise to accept any request in the future if you help me fight in the Battle Arena." said Vigo.

At this time, Angus and Jayna look at each other before Angus nodding his head.

"I will help. But, I have a few conditions." said Jayna.

Hearing this, Vigo regains his hope and listens to Jayna's condition. After some lengthy discussion, everyone goes back to the inn to have their breakfast. At their usual table, Jade has already done eating his meal and waiting for everyone.

"So, who is going to fight?" asked Jade as he seemed to have already predicted the outcome of the discussion.

"Jayna decided to offer help with some conditions." replied Angus.

"Lady Jayna?! Well, if the other party hires an expert, it will be a good experience for her. I guess the condition has something to do with the Heart Kingdom, right?" said Jade.

"It seems uncle already predicted everything. No wonder you leave first." said Angus.

"Nah, I just did what I needed to do. Besides, this is not my stage and a good opportunity to nurture the younger ones." said Jade.

Hearing this, Angus immediately knows why Jade could nurture a lot of genius inside the Sur village within the span of a dozen years. Jade is not only a good leader but also good at teaching others.

'It seems the Heart Kingdom will get a huge reinforcement if we manage to get back home safely.' thought Angus.

Two days passed by unevenly, and Jatyna's match finally arrived. As Vigo didn't pay Obo, Obo immediately requested the battle in the Battle Arena within a few hours as he had already prepared everything from the start.

Hearing about the match, everyone decided to look as this is quite an important battle for everyone. 

Arriving at the Battle Arena, Angus and the others could see Obo's group with an old man. Angus could feel a sharp aura from the old man's aura surrounding the man. Like Vigo's thought, Obo also called an expert as their representative. 

'This sharp aura must be some kind of swordmaster.' thought Angus.
