Chapter 331: Reinforcement

After a while, a Wyrm made of fire by a person on it arrives above the sky. 

Looking at the familiar spell and presence, "Hmph.. Show off!! Alright, let's move. We need to get back before the afternoon." said Angus, waking up everyone from their stupor.

While Angus led the others to the three hunting areas, Jacob and his Fire Wyrm landed on the top of the inner base. After dispelling his Fire Wyrm, Borkins and Fosa approach the Duke.

"Duke Jacob, glad you are here." said Fosa.

"Elder Fosa, thanks for helping us in taking care of the Black Fortress." said Jacob.

"Hahaha.. Don't mention it. It is already my responsibility to protect our new homeland." said Fosa.

"Alright, enough chit chat and let's talk inside." chimed Borkins from the side.

"Sure." said Jacob and Fosa at the same time.

Arriving at the meeting hall, "So, how is the current situation?" asked Jacob.

"As I told you before, the monster wave consists of various kinds of monsters with five to six thousand in number. We planned to dwindle their number using traps slowly. We created something like…" said Borkin's while explaining the hunting area trap.

"Excellent idea. We may be able to reduce a lot of their numbers using this plan. But, where did you get this bomb?" asked Jacob.

"Well, actually it is your son's idea. It seems he gets some 'souvenir' when he is inside your explosion squad." said Borkins.

"Angus?? I see.. So, where is he now?" asked Jacob.

"Currently, your boy led some of my men to prevent the monster from triggering some traps inside the hunting area. If there is no problem, they should be back before the afternoon." said Borkins.

Hearing this, Jacob couldn't help but smile.

'He really likes to work hard as usual.' thought Jacob.

"Pardon me, Duke Jacob. But, is there any reinforcement?" asked Fosa.

"Just call me Jacob, Elder Fosa. I am much younger than you. As for your question, I already asked the capital for reinforcement. However, with the nation's current situation, I think it will be hard for them to send any reinforcements."

"Still, I managed to deploy some soldiers from the Freyspire city and nearby cities as reinforcements. They should arrive here in two days' time." said Jacob.

"I see… It is better than nothing." said Fosa. 

"Hopefully, they will arrive before the monster wave comes. Although we still have not confirmed it yet, we suspect there will be fifth-grade monsters among the monsters. We need all available force to defend the Fortress." said Borkins.

"Agreed, I also send a request towards my affiliated nobles. Still, it will take around a week at the fastest for them to reach here." said Jacob.

"So, until then, we are on our own." said Fosa.

"Yeah." said Jacob solemnly.

Then, they begin to plan and start to prepare the Fortress for the incoming Monster Wave. During the mid-day, just before lunchtime, Angus and the other team back from exterminating the monster inside the hunting area.

Each of these monsters they kill will reduce the burden in the incoming monster wave. Fortunately, they have Angus, Jayna, and Anna who could easily kill any lower grade monster without a problem.

Arriving at the inner base, Angus and Jayna immediately go towards the meeting hall to report about their situation.

Entering the meeting hall, "Father, you are here." called Angus.

"Of course. Glad to see you and Lady Jayna here. Anyway, How is the trap? I already heard about the hunting area plan." said Jacob.

"Everything is ready. Now, we only need to wait for the monster wave to occupy the area before detonating them." said Angus.

"Are you sure the bomb will work? You know sometimes Valter could be very unreliable." said Jacob as he remembered some bad experience with Valter.

"Unreliable?? I am not sure what you are talking about. But these trap bomb is a legit thing. It could even severely hurt you if you get careless." said Angus.

"Well, if you are saying that, then I will believe you. I hope it is not something stupid like those stinky bombs he created last time." said Jacob.

"Stinky bomb??" asked Angus in confusion.

"Anyway, we still need to prepare and increase our defense before the incoming monster wave comes." said Jacob.

"Sure, however, I will leave that to you and Jayna to handle. Just call me if you need anything. I need to do some meditation." said Angus.

"Are you going to cultivate that chi thing?" asked Jacob.

Angus didn't keep the chi energy to his family. However, he also didn't teach them since it will consume their vitality and lifespan each time they refill/cultivate it. Although Chi is kind of superior to mana, it is also not too different. 

Therefore, Angus didn't teach the others about chi unless they wanted to master domain technique. Still, he couldn't teach this technique to anyone. 

Domain technique is the pinnacle martial art from his past life. Not only does the person need to be very talented, but it also takes a long time for them to master a simple domain. Unless the person itself is as talented as himself, it will be hard for them to learn it in a short time.

Until now, the only person that Angus thought to be able to use the domain is only Jayna. If the rumor about Phoenix having unlimited vitality and life force is true, then she could also cultivate chi without a problem.

Unfortunately, the current Jayna is far from being able to use the domain. She still needs more battle experience and training. In the end, Angus decides to teach her about this stuff later since it will only be detrimental to her current progress.

"Yes, I need to prepare for the worst case. But, I hope I don't need to use that." said Angus.

"Sure, go ahead. We can handle things here." said Jacob.

After that, Angus goes to his room with Anna. Sitting down on the bed, Angus checks his status first before starting his chi cultivation.

Host: Angus Victory

Age: 17 Years Old

MP: 600/600

Chi: 242

Heritage chi: ???

Strength: 49

Dexterity: 49

Intelligence: 49

Vitality: 47

Soul Point: 393,380

Soul Reserve: 498

Looking at his status, Angus couldn't help but have a lot of complicated emotions. A few months ago, his mana reached a bottleneck and stuck at the 600 hundred points. 

Although the mana itself, along with his superb regeneration, is enough for him to fight for hours or days, it is still kind of a waste since he couldn't increase his total mana unless he upgraded his mana core. 

However, he also knows the difficulty of upgrading his mana core. He needs a strong trigger to reach the third grade.

'I hope this incoming monster wave will help me break through third grade.' thought Angus.

At first, Angus wants to increase his other attribute the moment he hears about the incoming monster wave. However, he decided to postpone it and only use it when he really needed it. 

The increase in attributes, especially in strength and dexterity, may boost his body strength, but he is also losing his perfect body control. His body coordination will worsen, and he will have a hard time using some of his skills.

So, he decided to postpone it and will increase it when he truly needs it. After closing his status panel, Angus immediately entered meditation to cultivate his chi while Anna was sleeping nearby him.

Even though Anna is sleeping casually because of getting bored, she will immediately wake up and not let anyone disturb Angus cultivation. She seems to understand how dangerous Angus's cultivation could be.

Angus never mentioned the repercussions to anyone, but if he made a horrible mistake during his chi cultivation, he could be blown up, and the explosion will not be small. The explosion could easily envelop an entire megapolitan city on earth.

Therefore, Angus's chi cultivation is similar to playing with bombs. It may generate chi more easily, but one huge mistake could easily destroy his surroundings like his end in his past life.

As time goes by, the night arrives, and Angus stops his chi cultivation. Like usual, his entire body is drenched in sweat. Angus finds Jayna, and Anna is already asleep nearby him. Looking at the two girls' sleeping faces, Angus couldn't help but smile.

'I will do anything to protect this moment.' thought Angus inwardly before covering the two girls with a blanket.

Then, Angus decided to have a quick bath before sleeping. He didn't know when the monster wave would come, but he needed to be ready in the best condition. Therefore, he couldn't exhaust himself just to cultivate his chi.

Two days passed by, and there was still no sign of a monster wave approaching them or the hunting area. The soldiers from the surrounding city and Freyspire also arrived on time these past two days.

Seeing all this reinforcement, most adventurers start to become worried since this never happened during the normal monster wave. However, most of them already signed a contract and got payment from the army. They couldn't escape even if they wanted to. 

Among these reinforcements, Angus also managed to find some soldiers from the Explosion Squad.
