I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 693 Atonas

?

Entering his room, Angus finds the ladies already wearing their clothes with a Rosemade brand mark. Jayna's clothes are similar to adventured leather armor and clothes style but decorated with a red and blue accent.

On the other hand, Anna's clothes are literally dyed in black. It is a dress that noble girls often wear before their teenage years. Despite their clothes not giving any protection, it is actually one of their strongest clothes.

Not only are the clothes enchanted with countless unique enchantments but it is also made of very strong material. Angus couldn't even recognize some of these materials. Angus even assumes that these clothes will still survive if the whole Undermine Council is destroyed.

"Daddy!!" called Anna while running, holding Skythorn roughly.

Seeing this, Angus couldn't help but shake his head. Anna's handling of his first weapon is so rough that he pities it. However, he will not take it back from Anna since Anna seems to love the weapon.

Picking the naughty troublemaker, "Anna, don't swing Skythorn like that. You could hit someone." said Angus gently.

"Really?! That must be thorny thorny fault. Not Anna." replied Anna innocently.

"Forget about it. We will stay here for a while. So, you better behave yourself." said Angus.

"Will Dad and Mom also stay with Anna?" asked Anna as if she was waiting for a present.

"Of course. We will stay with you." said Jayna from behind.

"Yay!! Yay!! Anna is happy. Ahh… Daddy, Mom wants Dad to be inside Mom." said Anna.

"Anna!!" rebuked Jayna while blushing.

Although there are only them inside the room, there are still two beastman waiting outside in the living area. The enchantment barrier covers their whole hotel room. Therefore, people in the living area could still hear what happened inside Angus and his family's bedroom.

"Ehem… I will ask for the beastman outside to relay my message to your father first." said Angus while giving Anna to Jayna.

Angus and the others leave the bedroom and meet the two beastman outside.

"Alright, now. Can you relay my message to King Leon?" asked Angus.

"Ermm… That's…" said Yonghi, the mulcosa beastman.

"What is it?" asked Angus coldly.

"I am no longer able to send messages outside. Whatever those dwarfs do has completely cut off my connection to the outside world." said Yonghi.

"Seriously?! Aren't you supposed to be capable of communicating even in different dimensions?!" said Angus in surprise.

"T-That's for our six…" replied Yonghi before being stopped by the wolf beastman.

"Baron Victory, I apologize for this. But, we are truly unable to communicate with the outside world. Once again, we are sorry for such inconvenience despite trying to provide help, " said the wolf beastman.

'This wolf… As I thought, he hides his strength. I wonder which one is stronger, Merra or him.' thought Angus inwardly.

"Alright, that's fine. So, what are you going to do now? Are you going to stay here or go back to your leader?" asked Angus.

"We will…" said Yonghi but once again stopped by the wolf beastman.

"We are going to stay here if you don't mind. Although the situation is still unclear, we may be able to provide some help in case something happens." said the wolf beastman.

"Alright, suit yourself. Anyway, what's your name?" asked Angus.

"Atonas." said the wolf beastman.

Hearing this, Angus immediately finds the name somehow familiar but not at the same time. After using [Analyze] at full power, He finds his name is similar to many mythical death god's names in his past life. However, he just shrugged it off and decided to not think further about it.

"Then, Atonas, let's work together from now." said Angus.

"Sure.. Sure…" said the wolf beastman.

While Angus and Atonas are talking to each other, Yonghi, beside Atonas falls into a predicament. Their task is just to help Baron Victory send messages outside.

Since Yonghi can no longer send messages outside, they get orders to go back from his kind who stay at Merra's place.

Before Yonghi could say his intention, his teammate suddenly released a terrifying aura on him while staring with [Predator's eyes] for a moment. He knows if he says anything at this moment, his teammate will turn him into pieces of a slug.

Yonghi was startled at this sudden change but kept calm to save his life. Still, he never expected his wolf teammate, who he had worked with for years, to have this kind of side. As far as he remembers, Atonas is just an ordinary above average elite beastman.

He is not too weak but not too strong like their leader, Merra or their Warchief. Atanos is also not too average, which leads him to enter Merra's special intelligence squad. However, this kind of beastman is nothing extraordinary in a special intelligence squad.

Everyone in the special intelligence squad has at least this kind of ability. In fact, Yonghi and Atonas belong to the people with lower combat power in this squad. Still, Yonghi felt Atonas's aura familiar with their warchief for a moment.

This is also why Yonghi immediately obeyed and got along with Atonas. His beastman instinct forces him to do it. The short interaction between Yonghi and Atonas is also perceived by Angus.

However, Angus didn't care too much about it since it is not he didn't have any business with it. As long as this two beastman didn't disturb or hurt his family, he would not care about it.

After this brief interaction, Angus and the others stay at their hotel but still observe the situation outside. On the other hand, Merra also gets messages from the other Mulcosa who stay beside her.

"Atonas do what?!" exclaimed Merra in surprise.

"According to Yonghi, he suddenly decides to stay at Baron Victory's location and… he somehow releases terrifying pressure to subdue him instantly." said the Mulcosa beastman.

"Tch… What a mess!! How many people could be deployed beside Romi?" asked Merra.

"Only us. All of our people are deployed to ensure the transaction goes as intended." said the Ape Beastman beside Merra.

"Urghh… Then, I will go alone. All of you stay…" said Merra.

"That's enough!!" roared the Ape Beastman.

"Elder Tokid, what is the meaning of this?!" asked Merra in anger.

She even releases terrifying pressure and her mana to overwhelm the old Ape beastman. However, the old beastman didn't cower like usual and glared at Merra despite his body trembling in fear.

"Squad Leader Merra, please remember your place and position." said the Ape Beastman with difficulty.

Hearing this, Merra could only grit her teeth and take a deep breath.

"Romi, Kifa, tell me if Atonas suddenly makes a strange movement to harm Baron Victory and his family. Also, Kifa tell Yonghi to warn Atonas to not do something stupid." said Merra before sitting down at her previous desk.

Seeing their leaders like this, Romi and Kifa could only do their task while trying to diminish their presence as small as possible. Their leader is still frustrated at their current situation.

Not only they couldn't contact outside, but some of their previous orders were also stopped or invalid with the current lockdown. It is also why Merra sends all the members available to ensure the other party is not breaking with the rest of the merchant.

While Merra is frustrated and the remaining survivor is confused at the sudden lockdown, the dwarf elders suddenly hold another emergency meeting.

"Elder Dumrod, what happened? Why did you call us here?" said Elder Dwarf Grimruk.

"Yes. You said you found something related to this strange phenomenon." said Elder Dwarf Thror.

"Yes. I think it is time." said Elder Dwarf Dumrod mysteriously.

Before the other dwarf elders could reply, a bright green light flashed before their eyes.

"Obey, your king!!" said Elder Dwarf Dumrod, standing with pride.

Suddenly, all the nearby elder dwarfs kneel in front of Dumrod with fanatical faces.

"I, Grimruk Dimforge, pledged my loyalty to King Dumrod." said Grimruk solemnly.

"I, Forgus Goldstone, pledged my loyalty to King Dumrod." said Forgus.

"I, Marek Mountainfall, pledged my loyalty to King Dumrod." said Marek.

"I, Skok Silverbane, pledged my loyalty to King Dumrod." said Skok.

"I, Thror Oakcoat, pledged my loyalty to King Dumrod." said Thror.

"I, Belmuth Ironhead, pledged my loyalty to King Dumrod." said Belmuth.

Hearing their pledge, King Dumrod couldn't help but smile before looking at the last dwarf elder in the room.

"So, how is it, Elder Lotord? Are you going to pledge your…" said Dumrod.

"Cut the crap, Dumrod!! What are you planning?" asked Lotord angrily as he released a powerful terrifying aura.

Before the aura reaches Dumrod, all the nearby elder dwarfs already stand and protect their king.

"Hahaha… I knew it. You are hiding your strength all this time. You already reached seventh grade long ago, Lotord." said Dumrod.

Elder Dwarf Lotord didn't say anything and just stared at Dumrod fiercely.

"Don't worry, I will not do something dangerous. What I planned to do will raise our race to the pinnacle and the strongest." said Dumrod haughtily.
