I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 229: Bad Weather

"Two groups battling, huh?" said Jade in the communication device.

"Yeah, What should we do, uncle? It seems both of them are in a stalemate situation." asked Angus.

"Ignore them. Find a way that is not crossing their path. We can't get in trouble now." command Jade.

Hearing Jade's command, all the Alkin move slightly towards different directions to avoid the confrontation between the two groups. In the meantime, one of the groups also notices the incoming Alkin from far away.

"Boss, five big machines are coming towards our direction." said one of the people.

"Machines? Let me see them." said the leader, looking through the binoculars.

He immediately found five big metallic machines coming towards their direction at a fast speed. After looking carefully, he found an emblem of burning fire with a few dots around at the machines.

"This emblem, if I am not wrong, it should be Sur village." said the leaders in a low voice.

Then, he finds all the Alkin slightly changing their direction, avoiding their path while easily walking through uneven terrain.

"They should be from the Sur village. Judging by their behavior changing their path, they must be intent on not getting involved with us. Ignore them and let them pass. We can't get entangled with a big group like Sur village right now." said the leader.

"Alright, sir. You hear that let them pass and don't obstruct them." command the subordinate towards the other.

"Beside that I want that goddamn Ice wall to break before the next big hail storm comes." said the leaders loudly towards the others.

Soon, all the Alkin passed through not too far away from one of the group locations. Because of their size and significant movement, all the people in the surrounding area couldn't help but notice them.

However, all the Alkin are not stopping at all and keep moving, passing through them ignoring their presence. This behavior is quite common inside the Endless Battlefield dimension.

Unless they have interest from one with the others, most of the group is ignoring one another. Otherwise, they will provoke a lot of enemies and will be hunted by everyone.

In this dimension, although it is more lawless than Firuman, the people living here have a habit of not meddling in others' business. They often to only seek enemy one at times.

As the Alkin passes through, Anna suddenly wakes up and glares at one of the group's directions. However, she didn't move at all, only glaring with a serious expression. Angus, who besides Anna, immediately notices this.

"Anna, is something wrong?" asked Angus.

"Slave trader. They are slave traders." replied Anna shortly.

Hearing this, Angus knows why Anna reacted this way. He couldn't help but pat her head.

"Do you want to kill them?" asked Angus.

"I want to, but I will not do it." said Anna.

"I see. Good choice. Why don't you go back inside first with Jayna."

Hearing this, Jayna, who is beside them, couldn't help but hug the troubled Anna.

"It's okay, Anna. Big sister is here." said Jayna while caressing Anna.

While Anna is in a bad mood, Alkin keeps going and leaves the slave trader and the other group. As they go into the deeper mountain range, the hailstorm becomes worse. They couldn't even see a few meters away in front of them.

Because of this, Jade decides to stop on the spot, waiting until the hailstorm recedes. In the meantime, they also send a few hunting teams to subdue nearby attracted monsters or beasts. Although Alkin is sturdy, it didn't mean they could repeatedly get attacked by the monster.

Using this opportunity, Angus decides to bring Anna out to cheer her up. During this one year, he realizes Anna is some kind of battle maniac and likes to fight, especially monsters. Whenever she kills something, she feels like bursting a bubble and uplifting her mood.

"Anna, let's kill the nearby monster." said Angus.

"Ehh.. Bursting bubble? Can I? Can I?" asked Anna, who is immediately getting excited from her gloomy state.

"Yeah, but only the monster, not the people." said Angus.

"Yeyy.. Let's go. Let's go." replied Anna.

Then, they come down from the Alkin and kill the low-grade monster nearby while withstanding the big hailstorm. However, for Angus, Anna, and Jayna, the hailstorm is not a problem at all.

The majority of attracted monsters are ice type monsters or the one with thick fur to adapt to the cold climate. Most of them are Ice Wolves. Just as Alkin stops, there are hundreds of Ice wolves surrounding the Alkin.

Looking at the gathering wolves, Anna begins grinning widely. She immediately transforms and runs towards the group of ice wolves. After training a few times with Anna, the entire Sur villages know about Anna's condition.

However, since Jade vouch for her safety, the others decide to ignore her. Still, many people reluctantly correspond with her knowing she is a monster-minded person. Because of this, Anna could freely transform and use her miasma claw.

Charging at the nearby Ice Wolves, she immediately began butchering them wildly. Ice wolves are famous for being low-grade monsters. But, they are also famous for hunting in groups with a lot of numbers.

Seeing Anna charging alone, the other wolves immediately try to surround Anna and attack from all directions. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam* The Ice Wolves get shot by a few firebolts from Angus, who is standing on the top of the deck.

"Anna, don't wander too far, or you will lose your way in this hailstorm." said Angus while shooting at the group of Ice wolves.

Some Ice Wolves tried to climb the Alkin, but they got killed by the other Sur village combatant.

"Alright, I will also not fall behind." said Jayna as she followed Anna while covered in fire.

The battle with the ice wolves happens for a while as the Hailstorm becomes worse. Some of the first-grade Ice wolves even decided to retreat as they couldn't withstand the hailstorm.

However, the hailstorm does not affect Anna and Jayna, who keep slaughtering the nearby Ice wolves. Finally, all the ice wolves decide to retreat, and the villagers begin to collect the corpse.

The Ice wolves cores will be used as the Alkin power sources. After collecting all the ice wolves, the other people hurried to go inside the Alkin as the weather was too cold for them.

Most of the Sur village people come from the Berston race with high fire-resistant characteristics. They are not accustomed to harsh cold weather like this. Still, this hailstorm didn't bother Angus as he kept staying on the deck while meditating.

During one year of training, Angus managed to unseal the second seal of his cloak artifact. Now the cloak has a function to regulate the temperature of the user along with some magic resistance.

This is the majority reason he could stay outside in this harsh weather without getting frozen. Moreover, he also has [Hellfire] ancient power to regulate his body temperature. Angus's [Great Mana Echolocation] is the best detection skill in Sur village.

Angus decided to keep looking out by using [Great Mana Echolocation] periodically. Because the Alkin defensive wall is very thick and made of various insulation materials, it somehow interferes with his [Great Mana Echolocation].

Otherwise, he could stay inside Alkin while using his skill periodically without going outside. While he is on the outside, Jayna suddenly approaches him while giving him a cup of warm drink.

"Here… Is everything fine?" asked Jayna.

"Thanks, yeah, there are some hiding beasts nearby, but none of them want to get out from their hiding place." said Angus while taking the warm drink.

"You really work hard." said Jayna.

"Well, it's better to have more precaution than regret later." replied Angus.

Then, both of them stay silent while enjoying each other and ignoring the harsh cold weather.

After being silent for a while, "Come to think of it, where is Anna?" asked Angus.

"Ohh.. she is with Ilgor and sleeping like a baby. Hmm.. You really care a lot about Anna." said Jayna.

"Well, she is just reminding me of myself." replied Angus ambiguously.

"*Giggle* *Giggle* If it is like this, it feels like we are a family. You are the husband, I am the wife, and Anna is the child." said Jayna laughing.

"Hee.. Then, rather than just feeling, how about we start now." said Angus while looking at Jayna's blue eyes.

Hearing this, Jayna immediately blushed and didn't know what to say. Looking at this, Angus could only embrace Jayna lovingly.

"Jayna, I love you." said Angus while pecking Jayna's rosy cheeks.

"I love you too, Angus." replied as Jayna began to kiss Angus.

Suddenly, Angus stops kissing and looks in one direction seriously.

"Angus, What's wrong?" asked Jayna.

"There is a group of unknown creatures coming from behind. You should get inside first while I contact uncle Jade." said Angus.

"Alright." replied Jayna while leaving Angus reluctantly.

In the meantime, Angus immediately contacted his uncle about his founding. The group creature that Angus detects has uneven and many forms.

Some are bulky, some are tall, some are small, and many other forms. However, all of them are made of ice and walk towards their direction from behind.
