I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 796 Murderer

Chapter 796 Murderer

Sensing the previous Archduke Dipo, Angus immediately controls his [Great Mana Echolocation] to avoid him while ordering Cupid to go around the area. This will lower their risk of being found.

Angus didn't want to have any kind of confrontation with the previous archduke, especially after the previous incident over the last few days. He also didn't want to get involved with this Guardian matter anymore.

Through King Leon's short message, Angus knows the Guardian and King Leon is on the verge of war. Hence, it would be better if he wasn't involved in this muddy water.

Unlike their leader Patimura Dipo, the Guardian members stay a few hundred meters away. This distance is to avoid any stray attack from the Guardian leader and give him more space to fight. It also acted as a buffer zone when the Gram passed through leader Patimura.

Judging by their position, Angus guessed the Gram Wave would come from the Everwhite Basin. Though how it could happen, Angus didn't have any idea. From his observation, there is no Gram in the surroundings, even from the near Everwhite Basin.

In fact, the area is too silent. Not even ordinary animal sounds could be heard in this place. Still, he finds the Guardian's current formation strange. The Everwhite Basin has a circular shape.

Yet, the Guardian only stays in one place, not covering the other direction or surrounding the perimeters. With such a defense position, they could focus their strength in one place and have a better chance of surviving. However, the Gram may also run in another direction.

Remembering the Gram characteristic, Angus knows this is a good battle tactic against Gram. A newly spawned Gram still couldn't resist their instinct or desire. One of their basic instincts as a monster is attracted to thick mana, especially the fire mana.

Unlike the older Gram like Cupid, most newborn Gram couldn't fight this instinct and were always attracted to intense fire mana. Whether they are a lower or higher grade Gram, they couldn't fight their instinct right after birth.

With the high intensity of fire mana the ex-archduke released occasionally, Angus knew the newly spawned Gram could only be attracted in his direction.

While Angus and his group were sneaking away, Patimura Dipo suddenly opened his eyes and looked in their direction despite the long distance between their lengths. This subtle movement immediately alerts Angus.

Without saying anything, the previous archduke sent a fast flaming ball towards Cupid [Bola Blitz]. *BOOOM* At once, Angus sent his own [Fire Missile] to intercept the incoming attack and exploded in the air.

This sudden loud explosion attracted everyone and the Guardian in the distance. Unfortunately, Patimura's attack also reveals Angus' camouflage spell.

'Human, riding variant Gram? Wait… that's monster-minded?!!' thought Patimura Dipo while charging at Angus' group.

Just as Patimura approaches Angus' group, the other party suddenly takes out a runic stone and crushes it without hesitation. *CRACK* *Bzztzz* Suddenly, a complex magic circle appeared in front of Angus' group before distorting the space momentarily.

Then, a red-skinned woman appeared from this distortion. Facing the incoming fast Patimura, the female Altras counters it with a kick. *BOOOOM* an intense clash happens between the two seventh-grade figures in the area.

'Heavy!!' thought Patimura shortly.

Then, Patimura is getting thrown back dozens of meters away. In contrast, Nabe stays in her place without moving with a cold smile.

"Master Angus, I believe our contract states that I am only helping you forge your weapon, not fighting a seventh-grade human." said Nabe Redskin, the Red Queen of Nirvas.

"Securing the forging location is also categorized as helping." replied Angus nonchalantly.

"Securing the forging location? Ahh… I see. This is really a peculiar place. I wonder what is inside that waterfall Basin." said Nabe playfully.

With her sharp perception as a researcher, Nabe already noticed the strangeness in the surrounding area. Her keen mind also deduces the advantage of forging weapons in this location, especially using the advanced dwarf smithing tools.

*BOOOOM* Recovering from the previous attack, Pattimura approaches Angus and the group again while wielding his big double axe.

"Who are you? And what do you plan to do?" asked Patimura coldly.

"We just want to forge a weapon here." said Angus truthfully.

"Forging a weapon?! Hmph!! What an outrageous lie?! Did you think I would not notice that little monster…" snorted Patimura.

Before Patimura could finish his sentence, Angus suddenly turned around and looked at Jayna's strange behavior. Jayna trembling while crying in tears. Her blue eyes also already changed into fiery phoenix eyes.

"My.. Child.. My child…" muttered Jayna while closing her mouth with a trembling hand.

It is as if she witnessed a horrible and gruesome death. Despair, sadness, grief, sorrow, all the negative emotions keep coming from Jayna. Angus is also affected by these gloomy emotions through their [Allegiance] bond.

"Mommy?" called Anna worriedly from the side.

"My child… Gone… All of death!! Murder! They are killed!! Murderer!!" shouted Jayna hysterically.

At this moment, Jayna's fiery eyes glare at Patimura. *WHOOOSH* Suddenly, Jayma jumps high in the air followed by a dangerous burning fire.

"Jayna?!!" called Angus.

"You!! Murderer!!" cried Jayna hysterically

Jayna releases an enormous fire burst toward Patimura [Phoenix Blast]. *WHOOOSH* An enormous firebird came out from Jayna towards Patimura in the air.

'A phoenix?!!' thought Patimura shortly.

Sensing the attack's destructive power, Patimura brandished his double axe artifact with all his might [Zigurat - Smelt Burst]. Enormous fire energy was released from Patimura's double axe towards the incoming fire phoenix.

In this split second, an invisible wave suddenly erupted from the center of the attack. The invisible wave covered everyone, including Patimura. Everyone feels like they are sensing this wave but cannot move their body.

It is as if the whole space is stopped while their consciousness is still aware of the surroundings. At this moment, they notice Angus is in the middle of the attack and hit the two strong fire attack with his own weapon artifact [Lava Twin Sword - Fire Redemption].

Magically, the bright crimson twin sword in Angus' hand absorbs the two strong attacks. At the same time, a giant demonic figure with countless hands appeared behind Angus, holding countless blades.

At once, this blade seems to be merging with Angus' twin sword before he swings it in Patimura's direction [Twin Sword Art - Fire Dragon Fangs]. An intense fire and sword energy were released, devouring anything in its path.

The previous archduke wanted to fight back or dodge the incoming horrible attack. Yet, he also couldn't do anything since his body was still stuck. It wasn't until Angus' attack landed on his body that his body regained its freedom.

*BOOOOOM* Under the terrifying force of the attack, Patimura was thrown back without stopping up to a hundred meters away. At the same time, Jayna still cries madly while tears come non-stop and mutters, 'My child' repeatedly.

"Jayna?!! Wake up!!" shouted Angus worriedly.

Unfortunately, his call could only fall on deaf ears. Jayna keeps indulging in her own sorrow. Angus couldn't even approach Jayna as she was still covered with Phoenix' sacred fire.

With a slight touch from it, Angus feels like his entire body is scorched from the inside, along with disturbing sorrows in his heart.

"Mommy… MOMMY!!" called Anna loudly.

As if hearing Anna's call, Jayna suddenly stops crying in madness and looks in Anna's direction. *WHOOSH* A moment later, she already hugged Anna tightly.

"My child!! Mommy is here. You are safe. Mommy is here…" said Jayna repeatedly.

"Mmhm… Anna is safe. Anna is not going anywhere." said Anna, trying to reassure Jayna.

After a few moments, Jayna finally calmed down from the previous mess and fell unconscious while hugging Anna. At the same time, Angus arrived beside them and checked his beloved woman's condition.

Noticing there is nothing wrong with Jayna only falling asleep, Angus finally releases a deep sigh.

"Huft… What a mess." said Angus while hugging Jayna and Anna.

"Brat, you have a problematic family." said Nabe from the side.

"Yeah, I know." said Angus shortly.

"Now, mister whoever you are, are you going to fight again?" asked Nabe towards Patimura.

While Angus is tending to Jayna and Anna, the ex-archduke returns without a single injury. Everyone might have thought Angus missed his attack if not for Patimura's broken armor and clothes.

Fortunately, Patimura didn't continue the attack and only observed Angus and his little family. No one knows what he is currently thinking.

"*Sigh* Leon's child is a phoenix. What a mess…" muttered Patimura.

Angus and Nabe also hear these words.

Before they could say anything, a guardian captain approached their location and took out their weapon to attack Angus and the others.

"Guardian, stand down!!" stopped Patimura sternly.

The Guardian captain immediately stopped obediently and waited for their leader's next instruction.

"The next wave will not come until tomorrow or the next few days. Build a tent nearby and provide them with your best supplies." ordered Patimura.

"Yes, leader." replied the guardian captains.

Although everyone is confused by such instructions, they can only obey their leader's words obediently. Patimura's order also confuses Angus and his group.

"Why?" asked Angus confusedly.

"Let's just say that I owe her a lot and she is my grandniece." said Patimura with an indifferent expression.
