I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 155: Escape

Few hours after the black-robed man saved Millie, Millie finally woke up and found her body was very light and strong. She even could feel her mana capacity increasing rapidly.

Suddenly, she realized the situation before she fell unconscious and looked at the surroundings cautiously. She found the black-robed man across from her and Mia beside her.

Looking at Mia's pale face, "Mia.." called Millie and checked her condition.

After checking that Mia's condition is stabilized, Millie looks at the black-robed man and the nearby monster. She suspects that he is the one that helps them from the group of monsters.

"Errmm.. Thank you, mister." said Millie.

Suddenly, Millie hears a voice in her head, "What a marvelous talent…"

"Eh.. Who's there?" said Millie.

"Truly intriguing how such small, weak creatures have this kind of talent." the voice is saying inside Millie's head.

Millie keeps getting confused while looking left and right, searching from where the voice comes from.

"Don't worry, child. It is I that talk to you." said the voice.

Then, Millie looked at the black-robed man across the two girls.

"Ermm.. are you the one that is talking in my head?" asked Millie hesitantly.

"Yes, little girl. It is I that talk to you." said the voice.

Although Millie is confused about why the robed man didn't talk normally, she still accepts it as she didn't want to be rude to their savior.

"Then, I thank you for saving us from the monster group." said Millie while bowing her head.

"No, little girl. I only deal with the monster that comes a few hours after you collapse. These groups of monsters and the death environment in the surrounding are your own doing." replied the voice.

"N-No way." replied Millie.

"Yes, little girl. You possess the greatest and the rarest talent, the soul affinity." said the voice.

"The soul affinity?!!" said Millie.

At the same time, inside the prairie, the land is covered with flowers. Axel looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. The woman is gorgeous yet gives feelings of mysteriousness.

"Err.. Are you perhaps their queen?" asked Axel.

"Yes, it's been so long for different races entering our home, especially the chosen one." said the woman.

"Yes, the chosen one."

"He is truly the chosen one."

"But, he is weak."

"Weak but the chosen one.

All the small lights in the surroundings keep chattering while flying around Axel. From the conversion with these small lights before, Axel found that these small lights are called elemental spirits.

Unlike other race spirits similar to ghosts, the elemental spirit is a kind of race itself born from nature. Some of the people also call them fairies because of their figure.

Axel also found that one of these fairies is the one that saved him. Despite their small figure, all of them are very strong but very playful. Some of them are even very childish and like to prank people.

If Axel weren't severely injured and needed to stay on his spot, he would be pranked by all these little fairies to death.

"Now… Now.. Everyone, give our guests a little bit of space. I am sure he is quite confused at the moment." said the queen.

"Alright, but he must play with us later."

"Yes.. Yes.. Play with us."

"Yay.. playing…"

Then, the small lights leaving Axel that keep flying near him give some space and the queen alone. But, Axel could see they were flying nearby.

"Ignore them. Sometimes they could be too excited, especially after finding the chosen one." said the Queen.

"You keep telling me the chosen one. What does that mean?" asked Axel the question that was bothering him.

"It means you are qualified to contract with us." replied the Queen with an enchanting smile.

"Contract with you??" said Axel confusedly.

Meanwhile, inside the cave, Jayna finally wakes up after resting for almost a day time. The moment Jayna wakes up, Angus immediately approaches her.

"Jayna, how are you feeling?" said Angus.

"Urgh.. Angus…" replied Jayna while trying to get up.

"Is there any discomfort or anything?" asked Angus

"I don't know. I feel so tired, yet my body feels stronger than before. It is quite weird." replied Jayna.

"Did you remember anything before?" asked Angus again.

"Yeah, It's like watching a hologram video. Angus.. I am sorry. I.. hurt you…" said Jayna sadly.

Hearing this, "Don't worry.. Besides, everything is fine in the end, Right?" replied Angus.

"Really?" said Jayna, at the same time launching a jab towards Angus.

However, Angus already predicted this and dodged the jab easily.

"Of course." replied Angus with a smile while dodging Jayna's jab.

"Alright, then we should go now." said Jayna while trying to get up and ignore her attempt to jab Angus.

"Don't you need to rest properly?" asked Angus.

"No, it's okay. Besides, I already advanced to grade two now. I am stronger than before." said Jayna.

"Grade two?? Wow.. I guess getting possessed brings you a fortune." replied Angus.

"Ehh.. So, you want to get possessed??!" said Jayna while a fire came from her body.

"Err.. I didn't mean that." said Angus.

At this moment, Jayna clutches her head. "Urgg…" said Jayna.

"Jayna, are you alright?" asked Angus worriedly.

"It's okay. I just got some of the phoenix memories. Fortunately, the [Arctic Heart] managed to block the sudden influx of knowledge." replied Jayna.

"Angus, we need to get out of here. From the fire phoenix memory, she has two sisters. Both of them are quite strong, like a six-grade combatant. They must feel the fire phoenix aura when she possesses me. I think they will come here if they are still alive." explain Jayna.

"I see.. Then, let's go now." said Angus while packing their things.

Just as they want to be submerged into the blue-colored water, "Stop!! This is not ordinary water. This is absolute blue. This water will evaporate any impurity, especially fire being like a phoenix."

"Now, I have already become one with the fire phoenix. I don't think I can enter the water without getting hurt." explained Jayna.

"Look at this." as Jayna dipping one of her fingers into the water and immediately melted.

"Jayna, what are you doing?!" Angus immediately pulled her hand.

Then, a fire covers her finger and regenerates it at an incredible speed.

"Don't worry. This is one of the fire phoenix abilities. The fire phoenix has a strong regenerative ability and is immortal. But I am too sure about the immortal part since the Fire phoenix has never been killed before getting sealed." explained Jayna.

"Still, you are quite reckless. You don't need to do this to prove yourself." said Angus.

"It's okay. Anyway, you should go now. I don't know when the other phoenix will come." said Jayna.

"Then, how about you?" said Angus.

"I will.. find another way. Yeah, there is another way that is special for the fire phoenix to pass through." said Jayna with a smile.

Looking at the fake smile Jayna gives, Angus immediately hugs and kisses Jayna's lips. After a while, "Didn't I tell you? I will always be with you even if you don't want to." said Angus while caressing Jayna.

"B-But…" said Jayna while tearing up.

"I will only leave you when I die, which I don't plan for until my dream is achieved." said Angus resolutely while wiping Jayna's tears.

"A-Angus.. I am sorry!!" said Jayna, hugging Angus.

"It's okay. Anyway, it's not too hopeless yet." said Angus.

"B-But…" said Jayna.

"We still have this legendary Mundus beside us." said Angus.

"Huh??" asked Jayna confusedly.

"It's time to test two people's shadow blink." said Angus with a smile.

"Two people's shadows blink?? Don't tell me?? you are going to..." replied Jayna.

"Yep, we are going to do it." said Angus.

"That's absurd!!" said Jayna.

"Don't worry, you just need to hug me like this." said Angus while hugging Jayna.

Then, Angus sends a telepathy command to Draven, "Draven covers us with your shadow." command Angus.

After a while, both of them were entirely covered by their own shadow.

"Ready, my princes?" asked Angus.

"Never, this is imposs.." before Jayna finished her sentence, Angus already used [Shadow Blink] and disappeared on the spot.

Somewhere inside the beast's territory, Angus and Jayna immediately appeared out of nowhere under the shadow tree.

At this moment, both of them immediately felt massive nausea attacking them and couldn't help but vomit.? *Cough* *Cough* *Vomit* Especially for Angus, who is also exhausted since he needs to spend a lot of mana to use the [Shadow Blink].

Using the [Shadow Blink] for two people is not the same as doing [Shadow Blink] two times. Angus needs to spend enormous mana almost to the point of exhaustion just to teleport them once.

After a while, Jayna managed to recover while helping Angus rest. Fortunately, there's no other beast nearby. Then, they set up an isolation rune to the surrounding area to make a resting place.

At the same time, two large birds with blue color and green came to the cave that was resided by Angus before.

"Sister." said the green one shortly.

The blue one only replied with a nod before entering the cave.

"Someone was staying in this cave not too long ago." said the green one.

"Yeah, they also managed to bypass the first barrier. Let's go sister, I hope we are not too late." said the blue one.
