"Hahaha… Don't be so modest. You are the princess. Besides, haven't you looked at your boyfriend's reaction?" said Nabe while whispering in the last sentence.
Hearing Nabe's sentences and remembering Angus' previous reaction, the Princess finally agrees with Nabe. Despite the simple design, she knows the clothes are not simple. Not only is it covered with many runes, but it is also quite resistant to her fire.
The resistance does not come from the material but becomes resistant when she wears it. It is like anything with her signature that does not harm the clothes.
In fact, Jayna realizes this when Anna cannot break the clothes after she is already half wearing hers. The little monster gets stuck when she tries to wear the dress herself in a hurry and decides to unstuck herself using strong miasma.
Although the miasma is controlled and not big, it should be enough to destroy anything below the artifact-grade equipment. At first, she worries that the clothes are made to strict Anna's power. However, Anna refuses to let the dress go after she wears it properly.
'Since Anna said it is fine and feels good. I guess it is safe to use.' thought Jayna.
The couple knows that Anna is very picky about her clothes. Anything that restricts her will turn to pieces when she tries to wear it. Still, it is not Anna's fault since her clothes break when she gets unstuck during the wearing process or when she moves around wildly.
Therefore, she could only wear a few strong enchanted runes without inhibiting her movement. By coincidence, all clothes for Anna are designed in this way. At first, Jayna thought Nabe specially made it for Anna, but she also found all the clothing styles were similar.
It is simple yet emphasizes the woman's natural beauty. Although Jayna is not a fashionable type of person, she is still a princess. She could notice good clothes just by their design and appearance.
After seeing the clothes for the first time, Jayna knows Nabe is genuinely an expert tailor. Not anyone could make female clothes that could bring natural beauty.
Many people may not know, but Phoenix is also a beautiful creature. Some even crowned them as the most beautiful beast. They are very picky when doing certain things, especially if it involves aesthetics. Since Jayna and Fire Phoenix merged, she was also influenced by this habit.
After chatting for a while, Angus decides to clean up the surrounding monster corpses. They couldn't just let them stay around since it would only produce more miasma and may attract monsters.
Fortunately, they didn't need to worry about the smell since Angus had already used some cleansing spells in the area before. Although it does not purify the miasma, it slows the rot and removes the odor. It is a basic procedure when trying to camp inside the dungeon.
Previously, Angus had no energy to spare for this menial task. Now, others were protecting the camp and he didn't need to worry about conserving his energy.

"Anna, come here." called Angus.
"Hmm?? Is it time to eat?" asked Anna excitedly.
"Did you do something to Nabe?" asked Angus.
"Haa… How did Angus.. Anna means Anna doesn't know what Angus is talking about." replied Anna while looking sideways and trying to whistle.
'This girl sucks at lying.' thought Angus while pinching Anna's cheek.
"No.. Don't pinch it. Anna's cheek will stretch like an old hag." retorted Anna.
"Old hag?! How did you know such a word? Anyway, I don't know what you did to her, but it's good you settled it without creating more trouble." said Angus while patting the little girl.
"Did it mean Anna could have more meat?" asked Anna excitedly.
"Sure. We have too much monster meat anyway." said Angus with a smile.
"Yeay.. Big sis… Burn these meats!!" said Anna
She runs towards Jayna and grabs a giant monster corpse. Angus could only shake his head at the little gluttony's behavior before looking in a specific direction and shooting a few Fire Missiles chantlessly.
In the distance, a few wild monsters are shooted down and killed just after coming out from the cave path. After a few minutes, a shadow rose from the ground and inspected the monster.
"Such a precise shot. It seems Baron Victory is truly the strongest prodigy Heart kingdom ever produced. With this kind of skill and strength, I doubt those nobles will be able to do anything even if they want to touch Angus." said Phineas
Then, the head ambassador uses magic tools to cleanse the corpse and bring it away.
Meanwhile, on the top of the Redmore Capital City, Ramuz lay on the ground made of a barrier with heavy breath and a high fever. He starts to get the drawback of his artifact. The artifact may lend him some mana, but it will ask for more in return.
As a result, his body starts to work overdrive and even enters an autophagy stage to pay back the mana he consumed before. This is a massive setback to his body and power. Fortunately, he could recover slowly after using [Eternal Rebirth] later.
In the meantime, the goblin thief Ragaz is counting the haul he gets from all the surrounding people outside the capital city with a happy greedy smile. Although he hates his Greedy side, he is still a goblin that loves money and expensive things.
At this moment, they hear a low groaning sound before it turns into a loud scream.
"ARGGHH!!" screamed the Seven Faces Anger Akiye while having a mild seizure.
"What the fuck?!! Ramuz?!! What happened to her?" asked Ragaz in worry.
Fortunately, Ragaz had already set up some barriers before with magic tools. Otherwise, the people in the surrounding area may notice the loud scream.
"Urgh.. Huff.. Huff.. How would I know?" asked Ramuz back.
"What did you mean you don't know?!! Aren't you the one that is fighting her?" asked Ragaz anxiously.
"Huff.. Huff.. Slow down, Ragaz. We don't need your crazy mind at this moment." replied Ramuz.
"You… You Fucking Giant Bastard!! Don't tell me what to do!! Besides, all this happens because you decide to play a hero after hearing a sob story from that ignorant Red Guard. I already warned you before, but you didn't listen!! Now, look at what you've done." retorted Ragaz
The little goblin gives some high-quality potion to Akiye in the hope of helping her. After a few seconds, Akiye's seizure starts to calm down and she is no longer screaming. Seeing Akiye still unconscious, Ragaz eyes turn bloodshot and glare at his giant friend.
"Ragaz…" called Ramuz
This is the first time he sees his friend angry rather than crazy.
"Listen here, piece of shit. You may be my friend if I choose between her or you. I will definitely choose her 100 out of 100 times. She is my benefactor. I don't know how many times she helped me despite my rudeness."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Unlike my ungrateful kind, I still know to pay back. Just pray to your old man for her safety or I will use all my collection to fuck you up." said Ragaz before bringing out a tent.
The goblin thief brings Akiye and puts her inside the tent before closing it. On the other hand, Ramuz could only bring his head down in shame. He knows what he did was wrong. He tried to play a hero to save the others and unexpectedly hurt his friend's benefactor.
In the end, he could only stay silent while enduring the painful autophagy progress in his body. Ramuz thought this was the time to show himself and be accepted by everyone. But he feels like a frog inside the well.
Still, Ramuz also didn't know what to do since Akiye seemed fine just a moment ago. He couldn't even hit her. She also does not enter dangerous mana deficiency, just a low on mana and unconsciousness.
Therefore, Ramuz and Ragaz leave the woman alone since they know her strength. It will only bring trouble if they do something to her and she wakes up. They didn't want to get beaten up by the woman.
After a few hours, Ragaz gets more anxious, looking at the pained and screaming Akiye.
"Please.. Please… Wake up, Akiye!! Fuck!! Why are none of these working?!!" said Ragaz anxiously.
Their surrounding area is littered with many magic tools that shine brightly and cover Akiye's entire body. After another few hours, Akiye finally stops screaming in pain and opens her eyes widely.
Her eyes are entirely white without pupils. She stares into Ragaz's eyes directly. Unconsciously, Ragaz's ancient power activated and turned his eyes with a madly greedy look.
"Greed." muttered Akiye.
"Wrath." replied Ragaz unconsciously.
Then, their eyes and consciousness slowly returned while still staring at each other. Ragaz shook his head a few times while Akiye blinked for a moment.
"Pfftt.. I didn't know that the petty thief was worrying about me." Akiye broke the silence.
"W-Who is worrying you?!!" retorted Ragaz as he started to clean up the area to hide his embarrassment.
"Hahaha.. Urgh.." laughed Akiye before feeling pain all over her body.
"A-Are you okay?" asked Ragaz while trying to hide his concern.
"It's fine. My body just hurts like hell." replied Akiye.
"Y-You should stay in bed for now." said Ragaz before walking out of the tent in a hurry.
