I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 783 Bad Repercussion

A few hundred small magic circles cover the entire area. Each magic circle is loaded with a dense fire elemental, showing it comes from the same spell Angus released not long ago.

All the people who witnessed this magical scene couldn't help but be horrified. Such spells of this magnitude clearly consume a lot of mana. Even the fifth-grade magician may be unable to cast this many spells, especially at the same time.

No one knows how Angus can cast all these magic circles at once. Previously, they thought dozens of magic circles were Angus' limit. Now, it is four or five times more than before.

This power can decimate Frostfall City if Angus throws it at the city. They know for sure they couldn't defend against such an onslaught. Even with the Duchess' impeccable speed, she couldn't intercept all this fast attack at once.

As the situation becomes tense, the silent Anna suddenly blinks a few times before jumping out of Jayna's arms.

"Anna!!" called Jayna in surprise.

The little troublemaker suddenly takes Skythorn and points it toward a particular direction in the sky.

"Grow Thorny Thorny!!" said Anna.

Unexpectedly, nothing is happening and everyone only looks at Anna awkwardly for the next few seconds.

"Is Thorny Thorny broken?" commented Anna while shaking her Skythorn.

"T-This… Jayna!!" called Angus as he noticed a group of powerful people approaching fast.

"Huh? Anna called Thorny Thorny's name wrong?! Ohh… Anna knows. Grow Skythorn!!" said Anna playfully.

Anna stabs Skythorn towards the ground below. *GRRTT* *CRACK* *CRACK* *BRRTT* In a few seconds, countless metallic thorny vines grow from the ground in front of Anna towards the sky. *BANG* A moment later, everyone also felt an intense clash in the air.

In the meantime, Angus and Jayna appear near Anna, ready to fight the new incoming force. As for the hundreds of magic circles, Angus decides to cancel them as it keeps depleting his mana.

Maintaining magic circles without releasing them continuously consumes his mana. Normally, this consumption is negligible for any magician. But Angus created hundreds of magic circles and not just one. It is enough to deplete his mana, even with his absurd regeneration.

As for releasing Fire Missile to everyone, he is not crazy enough to kill everyone here over a petty argument and stupid rules. Although Angus and Jayna are disappointed at Aunt Extalia's choice, they will think about this matter later.

Besides, they could just teleport from this location and escape from this place anytime. A moment later, intense mana pressure erupted, pressing toward the surrounding area.

Angus and Jayna notice a few people in the air wearing full enchanted armor with a snowflake emblem on it. They are struggling against Anna's metallic vines. The vines have metal sturdiness properties and are also quite flexible, like the real thorny vines plantation.

It is quite a magical skill, especially with its massive-scale attack. Even Angus didn't know Skythorn had this kind of ability after he gave it to Anna.

"They are the Guardian captain!!" said Count Otebon.

"Guardians!!" shouted the few captains in the air.

"WOOO!!" roared some people in the surrounding and the cities.

At the same time, they change their clothes with a unique armor holding an emblem of snowflakes rather than the previous burning spear emblem. Noticing the situation escalated further, Angus did not go back down either.

"Try to stop this!! [Multicast - Fire Missile]." said Angus coldly.

"No, Angus!!" shouted Duchess Amberblaze.

However, her plea fell into the deaf ear of Angus and Jayna. Same as before, dozens of magic circles appeared in the air. However, they immediately release a Fire Missile spell toward all the guardian's members.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* Explosions and shockwaves erupted not only in the area but also around the Frostfall City in the front. With Angus' sharp perception and control, he only targets every guardian member accurately.

He also targets the captains in the air with more Fire Missiles than the other members, as all of them are strong sixth-grade combatants. Unfortunately, his barrage of attacks only meets with the strong protective barrier enchantment from their magic armor.

Angus knows he could break the barrier and magic armor if he uses the same attack a few more times. However, he also knows they will get surrounded at that time. In that moment, they may be forced to fight seriously, which leads to real casualties.

"Brigida, Lilith, come here!!" said Angus while carrying Anna and Jayna.

As soon as they group together, Duchess Amberblaze realizes something is wrong.

"Angus, stop!!" called Duchess Amberblaze while trying to catch them.

Yet, Angus is faster than the Duchess. As soon as everyone touched each other, they disappeared, leaving only a flash of fire and the shocked Duchess.

The Duchess could only stare at them with guilt and sorrow, especially after hearing Angus' last word before disappearing.

'Traitor!!' This is the last word Angus said to the Duchess. In fact, Duchess Amberblaze is just trying to stop the situation from getting more escalated. But, she didn't expect her action of attempting to stop Angus would only make her betray them.

She knows Angus hates traitors the most. She had already witnessed how Angus used the draining Ultimate Weapon just to kill the ex-captain of Royal Guard Roy before.

She also hears Angus' ruthless move towards the spy during his stay in the kingdom, especially if it comes from his own guards or force. Letting the Duchess away without a single scratch is already Angus' leniency towards the Duchess itself.

However, she knows the next time they meet each other, they will be strangers and may become real enemies.

All this time, she was afraid Angus' big moves might disturb the strong force of guardians and cause another horrible civil war. Instead of preventing it, she may be the one that started it.

Angus' fame and importance for the Victory family is tremendous. Although Angus may not be the head of the Victory family, his influence has already surpassed his father, Duke Jacob.

A single word from him could rally the whole family and the mighty squad of Sur Knights. Everyone knows Sur Knights regard Angus as their benefactor for bringing them out of the cursed dimension and reaching new heights.

Though none break sixth grade, many reach fifth grade during the few years of stay. The primary factor is that they get access to abundant resources in Firuman.

Suppose they had stayed inside the Surya desert before. In that case, they may have been destroyed by the other villages or sold as slaves. Only by following Angus could they reach this safe haven and grow more.

It is not wrong to say Angus' fame is second to their powerful leader Jade himself. Furthermore, they also hear how Jade reached seventh grade with Angus' help in forcing the mysterious assassin to use their trump card. 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

"No No.. No!! I must find them first." said Duchess Amberblaze anxiously.

Just as Count Otebon tried to calm Duchess Amberblaze, the shocked Duchess was already gone in a flash of red light. Seeing the Duchess also gone, Count Otebon could only release a deep sigh before addressing the guardian captains.

As the leader of the Extermination Squad, he is also not stupid. He could see the implication of this matter if it escalated further. Still, he couldn't do anything about it. Rules and laws have been absolute in their land since ancient times.

It is already good since their city guard is not attacking on the spot from entering from being noisy and disrupting the registration. Yet, he didn't expect their respected law to cause more harm and may implicate a civil war.

Unbeknown to everyone, no one realizes one of the carriage and two female dwarves are swallowed by shadow silently while everyone is focusing on Angus' group. The knights and everyone only notice it when the whole matter is over.

Soon, the news about this incident reached the Royal Palace. Before the King's aide reached King Leon's office, a dreadful aura spread from it along with powerful mana enough to shake the whole Royal Palace.

Fortunately, this phenomenon only happens in less than a second before disappearing as if it is just an illusion. *KNOCK* *KNOCK* The aide could only knock on the door a few moments later with a trembling hand.

"Enter." a cold voice heard from inside the room.

sigh.

"Y-Yes, my lord." said Aide before leaving the office.

It is the normal King Leon's voice. Yet, everyone could feel a deep chill by hearing this voice. Even the nearby stoic Royal Guards couldn't help but shudder from it.

Entering the room, "M-My lord, there is urgent news from the Duchess group." said the King's aide with difficulty.

"I know. Leave it at the table." said King Leon while still staring at the horizon through his window.

"Y-Yes… T-Then, I will excuse myself." said the aide nervously.

"Wait… call Duke Victory here." said King Leon, along with a deep sigh.

"Y-Yes, my lord." said Aide before leaving the office.

"Angus, please don't do something stupid. Otherwise, you will force me." muttered King Leon.

On the other hand, Angus and his group are leisurely camping near the river in the unknown snowy forest inside Frostfall City. Angus knows the Duchess and everyone will try to search for them.

Hence, he decides to teleport a few times from their initial location before hiding inside this unknown snowy forest deep inside Frostfall territory. No one will expect them to hide deep inside the Frostfall territory rather than return home.
