I Just want a Peaceful life

Despite the thick deadly gas in the air, Anna still sleeps peacefully as if she isn't bothered by all the commotion. She also wasn't affected by the poisonous purple gas. Otherwise, she will join the surrounding melted corpse.

While the two small beasts were safeguarding her sleeping master, they suddenly heard a voice from one of the pathways in the surrounding area.

"This poison gas? It should be from crabfrog?! I don't remember such a rare beast in the city or in their collection. Did they add it at the last minute? That's unlikely. Such a deadly beast is hard to contain, even for Yawan."

Soon, they find a familiar woman they saw inside Anna's clothes not too long ago.

"A snake and Crabfrog? Hmm… They seem to be protecting the little girl." asked Nabe while approaching them.

*Hisssshh* Onyx hissed angrily at the approaching woman. He knows the woman is strong from its aura. Even in his top condition, he may not be able to defeat her, much less his current restriction form.

Still, Onyx will not back down. Anna may be an unreasonable master. But she is much better than anyone or his previous master. She is practically the best master for an ancient and legendary snake like him.

*Hiiisshh* Onyx releases his mana and tries to become bigger to intimidate the incoming Nabe. Unfortunately, the dimension restricted him and forced him back down.

Onyx could only whimper weakly as he couldn't fight the restriction. Still, this is enough to warn Nabe and stop her advancement.

"Such a strong ancient aura. He also should be at least around the pseudo-seventh-grade level. Fortunately, the dimension is restricting him. Otherwise, he will destroy this whole place." mumbled Nabe while observing Onyx.

She completely ignored the murderous glare of the two small beasts and absorbed in her own thought.

After a few minutes, "Hmm… I am not sure what kind of beast you are since you are not in your true form. But, judging by your ancient aura, it should be either the Sea Devourer Itialane or The Mountain Eater Zokline or something that I don't know yet." concluded Nabe.

The Zokline didn't react and his vigilance at Nabe warily.

"Well, either way, it is very troublesome to fight such a thing, especially with the deadly crabfrog nearby. Still, your current restriction form will not be able to stop me." said Nabe while snapping her finger.

Suddenly, a strong barrier envelopes Onyx and Magen. The two beasts immediately react violently and try to escape the barrier. While the Onyx couldn't do anything, the barrier in Magen slowly corroded at a fast rate.

"Hmm… Fascinating!! Although it is just a simple modified mana barrier, it should be capable of holding any fifth-grade. As expected from the most poisonous beast in the world." said Nabe while repairing the barrier.

"Still, I didn't know that the little girl had two terrifying beasts with her. Did she leave them when we met previously? No, that's not possible. Such a strong beast will never leave their master for long."

"Since they teleported together, they should be in touch during the spell activation. That means they can somehow hide inside little Anna." concluded Nabe.

"Well, let's take care of this angry crabfrog first, " said Nabe as she cast a few strong barriers one after another to Magen.

In the meantime, a flash of crimson light passes through one of the cave paths. All the monsters that see it begin to fall down and be beheaded without even noticing their death.

When Aunt Extalia finds herself in an unknown dungeon area, she immediately tries to search for the kids and regroup with everyone. Unfortunately, she only finds Altras civilians and monsters on her way.

"Tch… This place is similar to Deep Hollow Dungeon. No, it should be more confusing and complex." grumbled Duchess Amberblaze.

*BOOOM* Suddenly, Aunt Extalia heard a fighting sound not far from her. She takes a look at it while killing all the surrounding monsters. Soon, she finds a few Altras wearing red armor, fighting against monsters while protecting the Altras civilians.

In a few minutes, the Red Guard eliminates the incoming monsters. However, the Duchess noticed something weird in their fight.

'Weird… Why do they look more restless than usual? Shouldn't the Red Guards be the strongest combat force in Nirvas?'

'I know Miasma is one of their weaknesses, but the Red Guard should be able to handle mosnter of this caliber easily. They also don't look like inexperienced Red Guards.' thought Duchess Amberblaze.

"Who's there?" called one of the Red Guards while pointing their weapon at Duchess Amberblaze's location.

The Duchess didn't worry and emerged from the dimly lit cave path.

"An outsider?!" commented another Red Guard.

"Tch.. What a mess. Even an outsider gets dragged here." commented another Red Guard.

"Excuse me, could you please identify yourself?" asked the Red Guard vigilantly.

"My name is Extalia Amberblaze, Duchess of the Heart Kingdom. I stayed inside the embassy before getting into… this mess." The Duchess introduced herself.

Unlike Angus and other smart people, Aunt Extalia didn't have extensive knowledge about magic, rune, or formation. She could only find their current situation by exchanging information with others. She needs to know if she was transported here or the others.

Hearing it is one of the Heart Kingdom, some Red Guard angrily glares at the Duchess.

"The Heart Kingdom's Duchess?? My name is Sandu Massvein, one of the Red Guard leaders. We are really sorry to drag you into our mess. But, this is also getting out of our hands." said one of the Red Guards.

The Nirvas may be a secluded kingdom, but they do not entirely ignore the outside world. They still hear some rumors about their neighbor from the traveler. As one of the major combat forces in Nirvas, the Red Guard knows many things about the outside.

Moreover, the Heart Kingdom's delegation created a lot of sensation during the last few weeks. Some Red Guards even bore hatred for them because of their elders' death. Still, there are sensible people in the Red Guard like the Sandu.

As the top management of the Red Guard, he knows Nirvas' current military power. Nirvas may have Vault Guardian Makar and Red Queen Nabe. Still, these two will never move unless Nirvas face complete destruction, especially the Red Queen Nabe.

Unlike the disillusioned elder, Sandu knows Nabe's hatred towards the elder and her own kind. He guesses the vault guardian Makar somehow manages to pacify Nabe from killing all the Altras.

In other words, Nirvas only has Yawan as a seventh-grade fighting power. On the other hand, Heart Kingdom has two strong seventh grade that are ready to fight them anytime. Compared to divided Nirvas, the Heart Kingdom has more real military power.

Although leader Sandu is confident the Heart Kingdom will not win against them, the Nirvas will still pay a huge price during the fight, which is something they didn't want.

"From the Heart Kingdom embassy?! It seems the whole people in the capital city get teleported." said Sandu to divert the topic.

"That's impossible!! To teleport that many people, it needs a huge amount of energy. Even if all the seventh graders in the world spend all their mana, it is barely enough. Besides, that kind of space magic will destroy Nirvas dimension itself." rebuked one of the Altras civilians.

"You are?" asked leader Sandu.

"My name is Ools Fleshblood, an enchanter expert. Anyway, it is completely impossible to teleport anyone in the capital city. If I am not wrong, there should be around a few hundred thousand people in the capital city."

"Even if all of them are without mana core, it still needs an immeasurable amount of mana, much less a strong race like ours." explained the old Altras.

"So, what did you think actually happened here?" asked Sandu.

"I am not sure either. The cave looks real and similar to a dungeon wall. But also much sturdier than them. Whatever causes all of this must be something extraordinary. Moreover, we are somehow unable to shape…" said Ools.

"Master Ools!! I think that's enough explanation. Please help the others. We will move after resting for a bit." called Sandu sternly.

"S-Sure." replied Ools in surprise before leaving.

"I am sorry, Duchess Amberblaze, but we need to move now. Since you seem capable of taking care of yourself. We will leave you on your own." said Sandu.

'You mean you didn't want me to be here anymore, right? Fine, I will make sure Nirvas pay a lot for all this trouble later.' thought the Duchess.

"Sure. I also need to find my people." said Duchess Amberblaze before disappearing from the spot.

The Duchess also noticed the sudden change, but she didn't bother too much about it. In fact, she just wants all the Altras to disappear or be killed by monsters for dragging them into this mess.

In the meantime, a group of masked people approached the blind and wounded Yawan with a weapon.

"Those masks?! You must be the Seven Faces." said Yawan grimly after killing the nearby monster.

"Elder Yawan, it is time for you to die." replied the person with a sad mask.

"Hmph… If you think you could take me down easily, you are still a greenhorn." said Yawan as he prepared for a fierce fight.
