I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 799 Fifth Grade Gram

"Ermm… Master, I seem to sense something from that place." said Silvia after contemplating.

"Daddy, Silly Silly is hiding something." said Anna.

"Hmm??" replied Angus in confusion.

Through their bond, Angus knows Silvia is not thinking of any malicious things towards them. In fact, She thinks about their well-being and hesitates to reveal the information she holds for their own good.

"It's alright. You can speak it." said Angus.

"Master, the Everwhite Basin is truly a magical place. It was also my first time witnessing such a place. However, I also feel a familiarity with it. Although the shape, the natural wonder, and the size are different, I feel a faint familiar aura." said Silvia.

"Familiar aura? What is it?" asked Angus with interest.

"I am not sure if this kind of place has a name. But it certainly could be found in some places across the world. In Elwint, we called it Losvertisch. It means the forgotten place or the resting place of the forgotten one." said Silvia.

"You said what?!!" reacted Angus with surprise.

"Losvertisch, the resting place of the forgotten one." repeated Silvia.

"Angus." called Jayna.

Angus glances at Jayna for a moment before releasing a deep sigh.

"Alright, let's explore it after forging your sword." said Angus.

"Master, I suggest you do not approach it." said Silvia in a hurry.

"Huh? Why? Is there any danger there?" asked Angus.

"Losvertisch is usually guarded by something or someone. It is said only the true Fated one could bypass these guards. As for the others, they may end up eliminated or facing a fate worse than death." said Silvia.

"There is more to that, right?" asked Angus with a frown.

"Yes. Although Losvertisch is dangerous, it is also an opportunity for anyone to break their current shackle or limit. The myth said it is also one of the methods to become transcended, reaching the level beyond seventh grade." explained Silvia.

"Transcended. I see. No wonder you are hesitant to reveal this information to us." said Angus as he remembered the previous dwarf elder Dumrod.

"I am sorry, Master." said Silvia while bowing her head.

"Don't worry about it. We are exploring that place for different reasons. Though, a little more precaution is never wrong. Silvia, keep observing the Basin until we start the forging process." said Angus.

Angus also notices the danger behind this place. If it is only a dangerous place, there are many of those places in this magical world. But, it is a different case if it involves seventh-grade people.

Silvia's previous warning is not for ordinary combatants or people but for seventh-grade people. In other words, it is a place where even the seventh grade couldn't return safely.

Yet, Angus couldn't just ignore this place. Even if he didn't care about his Forgotten King Heritage, they still need to go to satisfy Fire Phoenix's last regret. Otherwise, it may lead to a problem in Jayna's psyche later.

Meanwhile, the battle between the Guardians and Gram becomes more chaotic. As everyone predicted, there is a fifth-grade Gram among the current wave. Moreover, the Gram seems to pour out from the Basin without stopping.

This unending wave of Gram forced the Guardian to retreat even with four sixth grade on their rank.

"Incoming?!!" shouted one of the guardians.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* Countless sharp frozen spikes flew towards the guardians. Fortunately, they had already raised their big shield in time. Similar situations also happen everywhere. With the Gram unstable body, they often exploded and threw sharp frozen shrapnel to the surroundings.

Hence, any guardian member must bring an enchanted shield to cover themself from this deathly projectile. Despite being outnumbered, the guardians could maintain their formation with almost no casualties while slowly retreating.

This retreating battle tactic has been adopted for years to fight against the Gram Wave. Rather than staying rooted on the spot, they prefer to retreat slowly while killing the Gram. With this method, they could avoid getting overwhelmed by the Gram.

*Crack* *Crack* *Crack* Suddenly, a large cracking sound could be heard from the frozen ground. *BOOOM* *GROOARR* A three-meter humanoid Gram with a jagged horn on its head emerged from the frozen ground.

Along with the sudden appearance, a freezing gust of wind erupted from this Gram.

"It's fifth grade!! Retreat!! Go back to the third point!!" shouted Captain Gofrey.

Noticing the appearance of a fifth-grade monster, all the guardian captains immediately leave their posts to fight it. Normally, the fifth grade Gram will be handled by leader Patimura.

However, there are times when a sneaky fifth grade bore through a frozen lake and passed through Patimura when he was still busy fighting. During this moment, the guardian captains need to kill the fifth grade as soon as possible to prevent more casualties.

Since the battle between sixth-grade captains and fifth-grade Gram is very destructive, the guardians must retreat further. Over the years, the Guardian has set up a few mark points across the frozen lake.

These mark points will be the sign for the Guardian's retreat spot. When something unexpected happens, the leaders retreat to these mark points following a series of procedures.

*PIIIIKK* a loud cry is heard from the sky above while the guardians retreat. A giant ice bird with scales appeared in the sky, revealing its presence and cold glare at the Guardian below.

*Whoooshh* A chilling cold gust coming from above, turning some guardians into frozen ice. Even the specialized enchanted armor was unable to prevent this cold wind.

"Damn!! It's another fifth grade!!" said Captain Thedel.

They didn't expect a few fifth-grade Gram spawned at once. Combined with the giant fifth-grade Gram still facing Patimura in the front, they are now facing three fifth-grade Gram.

Still, the guardian captain didn't falter and separated into two groups to fend off the fifth-grade Gram. However, killing these two Gram will also take a long time. If they are not careful, they may even lose their life.

*SWISHH* *BOOOM* In this perilous situation, a red flare flies across the sky before hitting the flying ice bird. A strong shockwave erupted as Patimura and the giant ice bird clashed.

"ARGHH!! Go down, you stupid bird!!" roared Patimura.

*BOOOOOM* Under Patimura's terrifying force, he forced the giant ice bird to fall to the frozen ground.

"Leader!!" called Captain Thedel and Dannet.

"Retreat to the sixth point!! I will hold the fifth grade." ordered Patimura.

"Yes, sir." replied the two captains.

The two captains slowly retreat with the other Guardian member, leaving the other two captains and Patimura in the front. Facing three fifth-grade Gram, Patimura also needs to be serious, or the whole Guardian will be destroyed. There is even a chance of total annihilation.

Just as he wanted to fight with the giant ice bird, "One Cupid is up and down~ Up and down~ Up and down~" Patimura heard a childish voice singing a weird song from the surrounding chilly mist.

Suddenly, Patimura feels a huge figure from his side. Looking at the side, he found an oversized salamander silhouette standing not far from him. *WELP* The giant salamander opens its mouth and shoots its tongue towards Patimura.

*BANG* Patimura managed to dodge the attack in time before noticing the tongue was powerful and latched with strong corrosive acid. Furthermore, he couldn't sense the giant salamander's presence at all.

*PIIIIKK* As he wanted to fight back, a chilling cold gust suddenly erupted from another direction. *BOOOOM* Gripping his double axe, Patimura swung it towards the incoming chilly gust.

As someone who has been fighting Gram for a long time, he knows the danger of chilly gusts released by fifth-grade Gram.

If he doesn't defend it properly, his body will instantly turn into a block of ice. Under the onslaught of two strong Gram, he couldn't let them freeze him even for only a moment.

"One Cupid is up and down~ Up and down~ Up and down~" the same song heard inside the thick mist.

The next moment, Patimura found a few salamander figures surrounding him. *WELP* *WELP* *WELP* As before, the salamanders also shoot their corrosive tongue towards Patimura. This made Patimura more passive and could only focus on dodging.

Each time he tries to fight back, the giant ice bird will send a gust of chilly wind to freeze him.

"Cupid down down~ Cupid up up~ down up~ up down~" the song continued.

To Patimura's surprise, the giant salamander silhouette appeared everywhere, even in the air, standing upside down. It is as if they are stepping on a flat surface in the air without being affected by gravity.

*WELP* *WELP* *WELP* *WELP* The same tongue attack was also launched by all these salamanders. This time, the salamander didn't leave room for Patimura to escape or dodge.

"Haaaa!! [Mandraguna One]" roared Patimura.

A strong mana erupted from Patimura's body while withstanding all the corrosive tongue attacks. His body radiated a fiery golden aura.

Magically, the strong tongue attack only destroys his armor and clothes but cannot do anything to his body. It couldn't even budge his body for a single step.

After withstanding such a terrifying attack, Patimura swung his double axe [Zigurat - Decimate Ash] *SWOSSHH* A strong fire wave erupted from Patimura and burned everything in his surroundings.
