I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 350 - Golden Furnace

"Alright, let your men leave this place. I'll take care of the rest." said Elder Forgus.

"You hear it! Now, get your ass away from here before I smite you myself!!" yelled Borkins to the enchanter as he returned back to his previous character.

Hearing Borkins command, the enchanters immediately leave the place. The enchanters didn't know what was inside the room, but they knew there was something ready to blow up anytime in that room.

If it is not because of Borkins command and they are binding by contract, they will have already left this place long ago.

After all the enchanters went away, "Borkins, open the room door when I give you the signal." said Elder Forgus.

"Yes, sir." replied Borkins shortly.

"Shield Bearer, Arrow formation!!" commanded the Elder Forgus.

Then, the armored dwarf begins to get into the formation with Elder Forgus at the front side.

Seeing everyone getting ready, "Borkins, now!!" yelled Elder Forgus.

Borkins immediately obeyed the command and opened Angus's isolated training room. Suddenly, a burst of hot strong energy came out from the room.

However, Elder Forgus is already ready and holds their shield tightly. *Bam* At the same time, the whole Black Fortress begins to shake horribly.

Forgus and his armored dwarf feel like being hit by a full-powered colossus monster. Still, with their strong body and power, they managed to stand on their ground. They even reflected back the strong hot energy while moving forwards slowly.

During this time, the hot energy seems like it keeps being reflected back while also attracted towards the dwarves' shield. The hot energy couldn't go into another place and keep being attracted and reflected back by the dwarves' shield.

After a few minutes, Forgus and his armored dwarves safely entered the room while containing the hot energy Angus released. Everyone could see a young man sitting in the middle of the room, releasing a very intense hot energy towards the surroundings.

"Secure the perimeter, surround the boy!!" commanded Forgus.

Then, the armored dwarves moved slowly and surrounded Angus. At this moment, all the dwarves could feel enormous pressure from the hot energy.

If they do not keep enhancing their body with mana, they will already be thrown away by the hot energy force long ago. After a while, they finally managed to surround and encircle Angus.

"Start shirking the circle and prepare the forge!!" yelled Forgus.

The armored Dwarves begin to shrink their circle and slowly approach Angus. After a while, they managed to reduce their distance by a few meters from Angus.

"Start making the Forge!!" commanded Forgus.

As soon as he said that, the surrounding armored dwarves began releasing their mana and shooting towards Angus [Dwarf Secret Art - The Forge]. The surrounding hot energy immediately gets covered with the transparent barrier and fully isolated on Angus's body.

Then, Forgus claps his hand and a thick golden liquid appears on his hand [Dwarf Secret Art - Golden Mold]. After a while, the golden liquid began to the whole of Angus's body.

"Now, everyone!! " yelled Forgus.

Suddenly, another group of dwarves jump into the encirclement and brandish their hammers. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam* All of them hit the liquified metal and turn into a furnace shape.

Then, Forgus jumped on the top of Angus and hit the top of the furnace, sealing it completely [Dwarf Secret Art - Hundred Treasure Burial].

After being sealed, the hot energy was finally fully trapped inside the golden furnace and couldn't the whole tremor in the Black Fortress was finally gone.

After the entire process is done, "Elder Forgus, how is it?" asked Borkins.

"Huff.. I am getting old at doing this. But, such absurd energy. Are you sure he is trying to open the second gate, not third or above?" asked? Forgus.

"Yes, sir. I tested his body myself. He was still only at the first gate a few months ago." replied Borkins.

"I see. But, still to think someone at a very young age is able to open into the second gate already. It's a shame he is no dwarf-kin." said Forgus.

"Yeah, sir. It's truly a shame." said Borkins.

"No matter, this will be Balrug's problem anyway. Alright, I hope you stock some good drinks." said Forgus.

"Eeh.. C-Certainly, sir." replied Borkins while having a bad feeling.

Then, they leave the isolated room leaving only a few armored dwarfs to guard the golden furnace.

Seeing Borkins and Elder Forgus coming up from the underground area, "General, Is Angus alright?" asked Jayna worriedly.

"Don't worry, Fourth Princess. Everything is under control now. As for Angus, let's just hope he can complete his trial." said Borkins.

Hearing this, Jayna couldn't help but come towards the underground area to look at Angus worriedly. When the Black Fortress is in distress, Angus keeps having a hard fight against the two clones of his without his weapon.

Currently, all over his body is covered with various wounds. However, his two opponents also did not leave unscathed either. The one that is holding Sky Thorn is having many of its arms broken and some severe inner wounds as it keeps vomiting blood.

On the other hand, clones that use twin swords are much in better condition. However, its body is also covered with various kinds of wounds and its body also already reaches the limit like Angus.

"Haa.. Ha… *Cough* *Cough* Damn it, you two really are persistent. Well, I guess this is the end, right!!" said Angus towards the two expressionless clones in front of him.

Then, the three of them begin to poke the same acupuncture in their body simultaneously [God of War Point]. Suddenly, a blast of energy erupted from the three of them.

"Come one!! Let's go all out now!!" yelled Angus as he charged at the two clones.

They began to clash, using their life as their energy. Despite their sudden burst of power, the real world is still not affected at all. It is only the golden furnace that gets slightly pressured under Angus's power, but nothing is changed on the outside.

A few days passed by since Angus was trapped inside the Golden Furnace. During this time, Jayna kept waiting in front of the Golden Furnace, worriedly hoping Angus would be able to finish the trial.

"Ohhh… You are still here, young princess." called Elder Forgus while entering the room bringing a bottle of alcoholic drink.

"Elder Forgus." replied Jayna.

"Don't worry, young princess. The penalty of opening the second gate is not very heavy and could lead to death. Unless the person is too weak and stupid beyond hope. However, from what I hear, this boy should not belong to that kind of category." said Elder Forgus.

At this moment, the burning Furnace begins to lose its power and its brightness diminishes. Noticing this, Elder Forgus immediately goes towards the Golden Furnace and inspects the Furnace.

"The trial is done." said Forgus

Then, Forgus clasped his hand and melted the whole golden furnace. Hot steam erupted and came out from it.

*Cough* *Cough* "What the hell is with this steam? Huh?? Why are there a lot of people here?" said Angus.

Hearing the familiar voice from the steam, Jayna immediately ran towards the familiar figure under cover of thick hot mist.

"Angus!!" called Jayna while hugging Angus.

"Ehh.. Jayna, why are you here? Wait, who are you guys? What exactly is going on here?" said Angus.

"Hahaha… Judging by your condition, it seems you managed to complete the trial." said Elder Forgus.

"Err.. yeah. May I know who you are?" asked Angus in confusion.

"Ahh.. my name is Forgus Goldstone, one of the elders of the dwarf race. You could call me Elder Forgus." as Forgus introduced himself.

Hearing such a prominent figure in front of him, Angus doesn't know what to say himself.

"Ahh.. yes. Sure. My name is Angus Victory, third son of the Duke Victory." replied Angus.

"Hahaha… Don't be so humble, kid. Not everyone could open the second gate like yours at such a young age. I really want to chat longer with you, but it seems you need to take care of your problem first." said Forgus as he and the other armored dwarves left the room.

"Jayna, what is going on? Why an elder from the dwarf race here?" asked Angus.

"Stupid Angus!! I thought I was losing you!!" said Jayna.

"Ehh.. Ehh.. Losing me? What are you saying?" asked Angus.

"Everyone said that if you fail the trial, there is a chance you get crippled or worse death," said Jayna.

"Ohh.. That. Well, don't worry. There is no way this kind of trial will kill me. I will never leave you Jayna." said Angus while kissing her.

'Well, actually, I truly almost died during the trial, but she didn't need to know that.' thought Angus.

Then, Jayna tells Angus anything that happens during his trial.

"Ehh… So many things were happening. Well, It seems I truly need to thank Elder Forgus for his help this time. Still, I didn't expect just opening the second gate would create this kind of commotion and it took almost two weeks.." said Angus.
