I Just want a Peaceful life



Despite knowing Warchief Might is being used, he still doesn't try to make an excuse for these dwarves in front of them. In fact, he feels excited about fighting against more sixth-grade dwarves. All the dwarves in this area are compared to the Silver Knight dwarves squad before.

These kinds of dwarves have already at least opened one Gate of Life and wear stronger armor than others. Even Warchief Might's devastating attack couldn't completely destroy their hard armor and penetrate their skin.

There is no way the battle maniac Warchief Might will let go of this opportunity. Besides, he also still needs to punish these dwarves for breaking their unwritten jungle law.

The Warchief is not a fool. Using his sharp perception and seventh-grade keen eyes, he knows what exactly happened to Merra through the trace of the battlefield. He knows the dwarves somehow catch a Mulcosa and restrain them.

Although Mulcosa [Call of the Jungle] is not affecting him, he doesn't like someone touching this important race. In fact, Mulcosa's special law was created by him in the past. Anyone who deliberately restrains Mulcosa's telepathy skill will receive his wrath.

On the other hand, Angus is using [Shadow Mode] to move between shadows toward the inner area of Stonehall. He plans to somehow stop by disturbing Dumrod's planning or at least break the lockdown.

In fact, Angus could easily enter this place with the help of a dark night. However, he knows he couldn't just attack Dumrod. There will be a strong battle between them sooner or later. This battle will make a large commotion and attract all the surrounding dwarves.

Using his perception through [Life Return], he knows there are some powerful hidden dwarves in this place. Fortunately, all these dwarves are attracted to the furious Warchief outside. Warchief Might is not someone they could stop with only numbers.

Otherwise, the dwarves will receive a lot of casualties. It is known that every dwarf in this place is elite among the elite. It takes at least dozens of years to produce one dwarf of this caliber.

Even the uncaring Dumrod will never want these elite dwarves to die uselessly under the Warchief Might's furious. This distraction allows Angus to fight Dumrod without getting surrounded.

After moving through the shadow for a while, he finally stumbled into a monumental great hall covered with hard stone and dimly illuminated by artificial light. The great hall gives an ancient feeling and gloomy ambiance.

Through [Life Return], he could feel some dwarves hidden among this hard stone wall. Angus ignores these dwarves and focuses on his current target.

He finds Dumrod sitting on a majestic throne while communicating with the other Elder Dwarves through a holographic screen. A green rock dimly lit in his hand while giving a mysterious feeling.

"Just focus on building the tower!! Ignore the others!! Be it that dragon, Beastman, or monster people, ignore all of them!! I want these towers to finish as soon as possible." ordered Dumrod sternly.

After giving the other to all the dwarf elders, he closes the holographic screen before sighing deeply.

"I guess not everything is going against the plan." said Dumrod sheepishly.

"And what is this plan?" Angus appeared from the shadow before slashing Dumrod using his twin sword.

*Swish* *Clang* With a swift movement, Angus managed to cut off Dumrod's hand that held the mysterious green rock. Then, he grabbed the hand along with the green rock and retreated in the distance.

"Intruder!!" shouted the nearby hidden dwarf guards.

All the dwarves' guards immediately come out from their hiding places and come at Angus fervently. Despite this perilous situation, Angus remains calm and keeps observing Dumrod on the throne.

Noticing Angus' calm manner, "Stop!!" ordered Dumrod with a smile.

All the dwarves' guards halt at their spot and await their king's order.

"Baron Victory. It seems the rumor about your talent is still underestimated. Your stealth skill is so good that none of us could detect you. I believe if you want to escape from here, no one could catch you." said Dumrod calmly.

"You are not a dwarf." replied Angus.

"Ohhh…. Well, the cat is out of the bag. Yes, my real body is not here." said Dumrod before his skin melted and revealed a golden metallic part.

'A golem? No, this feeling is similar to Gil's Colossus.' thought Angus while using [Analyze].

Artificial magical engineering has its own rank, such as droid, which is the simplest, and golem, which is the most common. However, it is completely different from the Colossus rank above. At first, Angus thought the difference between each rank was their artificial intelligence capability.

However, it is actually wrong. Some neatly built battle golems could also fight strongly with good body parts and sophisticated programs.

After staying with Lily and learning more about Gilford's Colossus for a while, Angus finds each rank is categorized by its production difficulty. A battle golem is made of mechanical parts, but Colossus is made of many battle golems.

Creating one Colossus is the same as creating hundreds of golems simultaneously. When a golem part becomes too sophisticated, it will become Colossus rank.

No matter how strong the battle golem, it will never be able to match Colossus. This is just a simple fact. Even if there is a golem capable of beating Colossus, that golem will no longer be a golem but will already reach Colossus rank at the end.

As for Titan's rank, Angus himself is unsure of the difference between Colossus's rank. However, he knows building Titan rank is harder and more complicated than Colossus.

Now, Angus feels the Dumrod in front of him is more advanced and sophisticated than the ordinary Colossus. He wasn't surprised that this mechanical Dumrod could be the Titan rank.

"It seems that all of you already know your king is a fake one." said Angus as he noticed none of the dwarf guards were surprised at the sudden revelation.

Unfortunately, Angus' remark turns into a deaf ear as none of the dwarfs move, even changing their expression.

"Let's wrap this up. How about you return that rock to me? Besides, it is useless in your hand anyway." said the mechanical Dumrod.

"Who knows? I never try to use it." said Angus.

"Then, why don't you try to use it? I believe you know I use it to subdue the other dwarves. You may just be able to subdue these dwarf guards and stop me all at once." said Dumrod.

Hearing this, Angus couldn't help but frown.

'It is clear he is taunting me to use this green rock. But why? Is there a trap? Or is it just bluffing?' thought Angus while side-glancing at the green stone.

"What are you planning, Dumrod? What's all this commotion about?" asked Angus coldly.

"Nonono… You are wrong. This commotion happens because of your little monster and her kind. If you didn't make all this mess, none of this destruction would happen." said Dumrod.

"Bullshit!! You tried to catch us the moment we stepped outside our hotel. Don't think I didn't notice their hostility, even killing intent from your people." said Angus.

"Well, certainly I tried to apprehend you before since no one could know what monster people do. Who knows if your little girl suddenly decides to kill all the dwarves here. I can't risk such a huge threat on the loose." replied Dumrod calmly as if a wise king.

"You are no king, Dumrod. Although I don't know much about politics and managing the kingdom, I still know when I see whether someone is king. Heck, even Warchief Might is a better king than you." retorted Angus.

"Hmm… Perhaps you are right. But it could also be wrong. Besides, you are a fledgling human who has not yet seen the world. You don't know anything about me." replied Dumrod calmly.

"I agreed. I know nothing besides superficial information about you. So, you should give me a good reason to return this rock to you." said Angus.

"Hahahahaha…. For a young human, you are quite a bold one. Certainly, it will be hard to catch you with your stealth ability. Still, how about your girls? Were they also good at stealth?" asked Dumrod.

Hearing this, Angus' face turns stoic and looks at Dumrod coldly.

"You are death." said Angus coldly.

*Swish* [Sword Art - Red Tear] Everyone finds Angus is already moving before anyone can react. However, none of the dwarf guards could move to be exact. They couldn't feel their lower body parts anymore.

At the same time, they feel their body is falling down the side. The dwarves also notice the whole great hall is slowly tilting. A continuous thin red line covered the entire area.

*Arrghh* All the dwarves' guards screamed from the burning pain on their waists, slowly burning them alive. Even their strong natural fire resistance is unable to withstand it. Angus ignores all the wailing dwarves and approaches the broken mechanical Dumrod.

"Hahahaha… What a superb ski…*BOOOM*" laughed the mechanical Dumrod.

Before Dumrod finishes his sentence, Angus already stabs the mechanical core part using his burning twin sword artifact. *Sizzle* *Sizzle* *Sizzle*
