Chapter 736 Temporary Truce
Chapter 736 Temporary Truce
?
Facing an intense killing intent from Angus, the dwarves feel like facing death itself. However, they are not called the most stubborn and hard-headed race for no reason. As a warrior and a stubborn race, death is nothing for them.
Although they do not completely disregard their life to the point of not fearing death, they still could fight it with their stubborn characteristic. Sometimes, the more a dwarf is pressured to end, the more they fight back.
Just as the dwarf captains want to retort to Angus, they suddenly have a glimpse of vision. They could see a sea of dwarf corpses and blood everywhere. This vision happens for a second, but it is very vivid and embedded into their mind.
This sudden vision makes the dwarf hesitate to refuse Angus. They felt if they gave a wrong answer, the dwarf race would be killed by the young human in front of them.
"So, what is your answer?" asked Angus again.
"Temporary truce." said one of the dwarf captains with difficulty.
The other dwarf captains could only look down in shame for this action.
"Good. Don't overthink this. We have a bigger problem now, isn't it?" said Angus casually while retracting his killing intent.
"Tch… Fine." said one of the dwarf captains before trying to wake up the other dwarves.
While Angus and the dwarf are talking to each other, Anna approaches the sleeping giant Porky accompanied by Jayna. Angus plans to use Giant Porky as a ride towards the colossal monster.
Porky's unique trait of being impervious to attack is good transportation throughout the battlefield. With Anna's ability to transform it, it will become a mobile fortress.
At this moment, Jayna suddenly looks in Angus' direction with a surprised look. She could clearly feel what Angus did to the dwarf captain. Angus is not only doing simple coercion but a sophisticated and complex technique.
When someone kills many living beings on a large scale, they will subconsciously produce a murderous aura called killing intent. Usually, this aura is only useful as a type of coercion during the fight or as a means of deterrence.
When killing intent becomes so intense, it could somehow influence someone's mind. It could give other people a glimpse of a terrifying scene. Still, this kind of power should be uncontrollable, and each person's effect is different.
Yet, Angus could completely control his killing intent or even show the horrifying scene according to what he wanted. Jayna knows her boyfriend is a control freak regarding his body and mind. Still, she never expected he could also control killing intent to this degree.
Jayna also felt this kind of technique is not as simple as that. Her intuition as a phoenix and fragmented memory of the mad phoenix told her that Angus may be forced to kill the dwarves without end if they disagree with him.
This thought was also transmitted to Angus. Unfortunately, he only gave Jayna a smile without replying to anything.
In fact, Angus is really planning to do it if the dwarf refuses him. Although Angus may look calculative and have high intelligence, his true nature makes him hate complicated stuff.
If it is not for a long time in participating in politics and his past life experience, he may become someone similar to Warchief Might, who uses rough power to solve anything.
After preparing themself, Angus and the others get on top of Giant Porky before flying away. During the preparation time, he could see the true craftsmanship of the dwarf race.
Since Anna is reluctant to let Porky approach the colossal monster for fear of hurting the invincible pig, the dwarves have the initiative to create some armor for giant Porky from the surrounding rubble material.
The crafting process is swift, only taking a few minutes for the dwarves to cover the giant Porky with sturdy-looking armor. After seeing the armored Porky, Anna finally lets Porky carry them.
The little monster even urges everyone in a hurry as if she was the one that wanted to try the giant Porky's new armor.
*Wissh* *Wissh* *Wissh* A few moments later, they slowly approached the chaotic battlefield with the help of flying Porky.
During this time, they often see a bright flash of light combined with strong air turbulence. They feel like they are approaching a terrible hurricane.
Using his perception, Angus could feel the Warchief Might, Elder Lotord, and Nabe fight fervently against the colossal monster without a rest.
An enormous magic circle occasionally appeared and released strong spells toward the monster. At the same time, a translucent giant dwarf hammers it from the side along with Warchief Might, who is covered in fire.
Their surrounding area has become a no man's land, as the strong shockwave will destroy or kill anything near them. The place also has large craters, crystalized ruby, and a lava pool.
As Angus and the others witness the horrible battlefield in the distance, they finally reach the spike rain area.
"Silvia, intercept those spikes!!" ordered Angus.
"Yes, master," said Silvia before waving her hand.
*Crack* *BOOOM* *BOOOM* Suddenly, the incoming spikes shattered into pieces like glass. Seeing the fragmented spike, some dwarves grab it to study the material.
"This is…." said one of the dwarves.
"Is there anything wrong, master dwarf?" asked Angus worriedly.
"Err…" replied the dwarf in an embarrassing manner.
"Ignore him. He is just trying to act cool. None of us know what this material is made of. Based on my observation, is it something unique produced by that thing." said one of the dwarf captains.
"Err... that's.." replied Angus speechlessly.
In fact, Angus also didn't know anything about these materials, even with the help of [Analyze]. He thought the dwarf somehow recognized them.
*Whooshh* *Whooshh* Suddenly, a few groups of dwarves catch up with the flying giant Porky and land on it.
"Huh?! Another group?" said the newcomer dwarf in confusion before looking at Angus and the others with hatred.
"Stop!! We are on a temporary truce to fight that thing first." said one of the dwarf captains.
"Fine. I will smite them after all this mess is done." said one of the senior sixth-grade dwarves.
He is one of the senior dwarves that pursues Angus for a whole day. He still knows how these humans and giant pigs wreak havoc in the entire Undermine Council and cause a lot of casualties.
Furthermore, the dwarf knew the enormous amount of death when the two giant firebirds exploded. The two firebirds explode, turning a large area into a wasteland and a vast amount of desert.
Many of the dwarves' colleagues and acquaintances were killed in this place, making them all hate Angus and the others to the bone. Fortunately, these dwarves are not stupid and still know their priorities.
Unlike Angus and the others, that could be fought anytime, the monster in the distance is not something they could hold even with their combined power. Even the combination attack from three seventh grade could barely keep it.
Ignoring the incoming dwarf, "Anna, what did you think of this material?" asked Angus as he gave Anna the shattered spike.
"Emm… is it rock?" asked Anna back.
"Rock?" replied Angus in confusion.
"Yeah… Isn't it just those bitter rocks?! Anna doesn't like it. It tastes bitter, bland, almost like grass. Anna likes meat more." said Anna.
Hearing Anna's reply, Angus could only scratch his head. Anna's answer may not directly answer his question, but he could somewhat understand the gist of it. For Anna, the spike is the same as the dirt or rock and she will not get anything from it if she eats it.
It means it is useless for Anna. However, it also implies that this spike has unique properties or energy that couldn't be digested by Anna. It is like a human trying to eat inedible things.
"Forget about it. We couldn't do anything about it anyway." said Angus.
*GROOOOARR* Suddenly, a thunderous sound was heard from the monster's location. [Ruse Far - Static Doom]. *BOOOM* *BOOOM* *Crackle* *Crackle*
"Incoming!!" Shouted one of the nearby sixth-grade dwarves.
*BLAARR* a flash of light suddenly hit Giant Porky's body and pushed it away in the air. Fortunately, the giant Porky's body is impervious to this attack. Otherwise, it will turn into roasted pork on the spot.
Still, Angus and the others are surprised at the sudden lightning strike. Unlike ordinary lightning spells, the incoming attack transforms mana into lightning elemental.
It is a real lightning strike that could randomly hit anything without any real target. Using his sharp perception, Angus knows the lightning attack is not yet done.
"Silvia!!" called Angus with an angry tone.
The small Silvia was immediately surprised, as if she was caught doing something terrible and waved her hand in a hurry [4th Circle - Storm Armor]. An enormous magic circle covers the giant Porky body and envelopes it with a gust of wind.
*Crackle* *Crackle* *BOOM* *BOOM* Just as the Storm Armor covers Porky's body, countless lightning hits Porky at random locations. Seeing this, the dwarves feel a little bit of relief. They know the lightning strike is similar to the force of nature and hard to defend.
They may even be seriously injured after getting hit by it. Just as they want to thank little Silvia, Anna suddenly 'squashed' her without mercy. The little monster even throws Silvia's squashed body and steps on it as if she is a disgusting bug.
