I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 560 Extortion And Massacre

"Baron Victory, we already rested enough. We could continue to move." said one of the knights.

Currently, all the knights from the embassy already recognize Angus as their leader. Despite his young age, Angus is a good leader, especially in battle. The knights even speculate that Angus is an oracle or something since he can predict most of the outcome.

Moreover, he is good at judging, always knows when they are overwhelmed, and helps them. Hence, all the knights think of Angus differently from the usual spoiled young noble.

Angus glanced at the pale knights for a moment before looking at the rest of the knights. Then, he looked at the big Altras group in the distance. Currently, they are inside a big cave area and resting.

Although the Altras and their group are victims of this incident, they are still from two different nations. To avoid any conflict, they decide to separate from each other.  Even during the fight, they will take care of themself unless a powerful monster appears.

For a moment, Angus contemplates something before looking at Jayna. His girlfriend didn't reply and only gave a slight nod. Angus stands from the ground and walks slowly to the Altras group in the distance, followed by Jayna without responding to the knight.

"Sir?" responded the knight in confusion.

But Angus kept silent and walked. Noticing Angus' walking direction, the other knights immediately gather themself and follow the young Baron. On the other hand, the Altras group also saw Angus' approach.

"Stop right there. State your business, human?" asked one of the Red Guard.

"Call your current leader!" commanded Angus in a cold tone.

Before the Red Guard could reply to such rude behavior, "Baron Victory, is there any problem?" asked an old man wearing red armor.

"Weapon and armor." replied Angus shortly.

"Huh?" responded the Red Guard captain in confusion.

"The Heart Kingdom wants compensation for all this trouble. Give me half of your weapon and armor." demanded Angus.

"Baron Victory, you must be joking, right?" replied the Red Guard old man.

"No, I will be lenient. Give me half of your weapon and armor. Or I will get it from your fucking dead bodies?!!" yelled Angus.

"That's it. Baron Victory, we are glad for your help eliminating the monster before, but this is a different matter. Please go away now." said the Red Guard while the other Red Guard were ready to fight.

"Fine." replied Angus shortly before turning around.

After a few steps, Angus turned back again and instantly charged at the Red Guard captain [Beast Walk] [Flame Strike]. *BAMM* Before anyone could react, Angus hit the Red Guard old man in the face with a fiery punch and sent him toward another Altras group not far from them.

*BOOOM* As soon as the Red Guard leader hit the other Altras, an enormous explosion erupted and killed the nearby Altras. The Red Guards near Angus are surprised at the sudden attack and want to retaliate against Angus.

However, Jayna is already on the move [Phoenix Dance 1st step - Feather Blossom]. All the Red Guards find a fluttering crimson feather before finding their head already separate from their body.

In a few seconds, more than half of the Red Guards in the Altras group were eliminated by Angus and Jayna. Ignoring the dead Red Guards, Angus disappears from his spot and kills the remaining Red Guard with his Twin Sword Artifact.

Using his strength, speed, and [Beast Walk], Angus could behead the Red Guards without them noticing their own death. This is the true advantage of having superior physical strength.

His power will multiply as long as he combines it with mana and high skill. Altras may have a strong body and physique, but they are only at most one or twice stronger than humans.

In contrast, Angus's current strength is almost six times the human race's physical limit. There is a significant difference between them when multiplied by Angus' mana and skill.

Each time Angus moves, an Altras' head falls to the ground. He didn't care if it was an ordinary citizen, young or old Altras. All of them die under Angus' blades. In a few minutes, Angus and Jayna finally routed the Altras group without leaving anyone alive.

The knights from the embassy could only be shocked by such a merciless act. But they also didn't comment on it since they knew any survivor would only give them trouble. They are glad they didn't need to do such a massacre by their own hand as it will definitely affect their mind.

"Gather all the dead bodies into one place and salvage anything that could be used." commanded Angus coldly.

Waking up from Angus' command, the knights immediately follow his command and work. They know Angus and Jayna are strong, but they didn't expect he could eliminate more than ten Red Guards along with a big group of Altras in a few minutes.

Moreover, they notice that each attack is clean, painless, and efficient. The last thing they want to do now is anger these two monstrous high nobles. While the knights salvage the dead Altras, Angus and Jayna sit together not far from them.

"How are you feeling?" asked Angus to Jayna.

"It's boring." replied Jayna shortly while hugging Angus from the side.

"There is only one fifth grade and the rest is fourth grade. Moreover, they also somehow couldn't use their shapeshift and regeneration ability. They are fighting in a completely new and uncomfortable situation."

"I hate to say this, but the Seven Faces are smart to seal the Altras greatest trait and weapon. Only the truly talented and experienced combatant can adapt to this situation." said Angus.

"No wonder they are too weak and always look like frightened chickens for a moment when they get attacked." responded Jayna coldly before snuggling into Angus.

Angus knows Jayna is still affected by this massacre act. Contrary to everyone's expectations, Jayna didn't get some sort of PTSD or depression. In fact, she is too angry towards the dead Red Guard.

She felt that fighting is too dull, like harvesting wild grass. There is almost nothing she can learn in this fight. The Altras didn't even try to fight back and were too scared when her fiery sword approached.

If she knows this, she will ask Angus not to sneak attack them and fight them frontally. But she knows this is impossible since their battle will only attract monsters in the surrounding area.

In the meantime, Yawan finds himself bleeding with many wounds. His stomach even has two holes from the back and side. If it were not for his seventh-grade physique, he would have been turned into a corpse long ago.

On the other hand, all the Altras citizens he tried to protect are no longer alive. Most die under the attack of Seven Faces' leaders, while the rest die under Yawan's blade.

He didn't want to risk getting another backstab in his stomach and decided to kill all the citizens he should protect in the first place. Still, his injury keeps worsening as the fight continues.

Now, he couldn't even fight back and only parry the incoming attack from the surrounding. His lack of vision also exhausted his mind since he needed to keep the focus on the surroundings.

"How the hell was he still alive?" asked the fear mask while looking at the bloody Yawan in front of him.

"Don't falter. He is already exhausted. He could barely attack us properly." encouraged the sad mask.

Yawan didn't reply and kept parrying the incoming attack. But he knows his hopeless situation. All he could do was wait for other Altras to help him. Suddenly, he noticed something from a particular direction before smiling.

"Let's see who's going to survive. [Muscle Overdrive]" said Yawan.

Suddenly, a red aura covered Yawan as his body got buffed. His muscular body looks more prominent than before.

"Careful! He is using [Muscle Overdrive]." commented on the fear mask.

To their surprise, Yawan didn't go berserk and tried to fight back. In contrast, he called his shield an artifact and held it in both hands.

[Echo - Invincible] [Echo - Remnant Fortification] *Wung* a unique aura covered Yawan blood red body. One of the Seven Faces throws a dagger toward Yawan, only to get bounced by the invisible barrier around Yawan.

"Huh?? So, this is it? Hiding like a turtle. So much for the…" said the contempt mask.

*CRACK* *BOOOMM* Suddenly, the nearby cave wall breaks as a black-haired little girl charges at them.

"Where are Angus and Big Sis?!!" screamed Anna madly without stopping her charge.

The other seven faces didn't expect a sudden strong attack and were thrown by Anna's reckless charge. They tried to dodge the incoming Anna at the last moment but still got hit by the shockwave Anna generated.

Despite only getting hit by shockwaves, the Seven Faces are thrown far away like a bowling ball getting shot by a tank. No one knows about their current situation.

On the other hand, Yawan, directly on Anna's path, gets thrown out toward one of the cave walls in the distance. He already knows the incoming Anna and is ready to defend himself to lessen his impact.

Ignoring the others, the little monster Anna kept moving forward and breaking through another cave wall.
