I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 719 Miasma Corruption





"Or… Did you forget the terror of the dragon?" said Alder before sharply glaring at the dwarves.

Hearing this, the nearby dwarves' subconscious flew back slowly, except for Elder Lotord. Noticing the others are already under Alder's suppression, Lotord could only shake his head in disappointment.

However, he also didn't blame these dwarves. Unless they can break the shackle like himself, no dwarf could escape the dragon's fear. This is something that is already rooted deeply inside every dwarf.

"Go!! Leave him to me. Make sure to secure the perimeter and chase that goddammit giant pig!!" ordered the Elder Lotord sternly.

Suddenly, Elder Lotord noticed something before trying to swing his hammer. However, his wounded body makes his reaction slower than usual. *Swish* *Splat* A fast large claw butchered the terrified dwarf before they could react.

The attack is swift and comes out instantly. At the same time, a terrifying aura was released from Alder. The aura is very dreadful and spreads through the Undermine Council.

Fortunately, it only happened for a moment before it stopped and disappeared like it never happened before. Elder Lotord knows Alder is in a very bad mood and angry at them.

"You know… I am not someone who likes to follow rules and traditions. In fact, I belonged to a rebellious kid during my days. Still, you dare to hurt the youngling under my watch, especially in front of me. Did you really think I would just let all of you go?!!" said Alder.

"If it is not me but another dragon, every dwarf in this place will be turned to ash before mentioning any beard word." added Alder.

Despite the joking words, Lotord knows Alder is quite angry about his previous behavior. In fact, he still didn't know why this monster dragon somehow got angry or even helped the other monster-minded person.

Using the clue left in the burned ground below and Alder's words, along with the dragon's nature and tradition, Lotord could assume that there was a phoenix among the monster-minded people before.

The story about the dragon being protective towards Phoenix is also passed down in the dwarves' memorial hall and culture. Some fairy tales and myths even mention them a few times.

'Tch… This is very unfortunate. To think there are phoenixes among the monster that I tried to hit. No wonder this dragon finally took action despite arriving here long ago. With dragon nature, I don't think he will let me go away easily.' thought Elder Lotord.

Meanwhile, Angus and the others arrive hundreds of kilometers from their previous position. Jayna and Angus were covered in a cold sweat from the Elder Lotord's sudden intrusion. The pressure from the furious seventh grade is not easy to handle.

Moreover, They didn't expect there to be a seventh-grade dwarf targeting them this fast. If not for Alder's timely intervention, Porky might blow down below while they were thrown away from the impact.

His Bing Bong Boots also may get damaged and no longer be used as an escape for who knows how long.

Although artifacts could be said to be indestructible, it didn't mean their abilities were also invincible. The pink bubble Bing Bong Boots is part of its ability, not its indestructible shoe body.

In other words, it could be damaged and even destroyed. While Angus and Jayna slowly recover from the shock, Anna looks around with confusion.

"Umm… Daddy, Mommy, Anna think a baddie trying to hurt Porky Porky just now. But, the baddie suddenly disappeared. What a rude baddie!! Anna still has not yet burst the baddie from trying to harm cute adorable Porky Porky." said Anna while pouting.

Hearing this, Angus couldn't help but release a deep sigh. During the incident, Anna closes her eyes and keeps shooting down the magic gun. It is not until they move through [Bing Bong Boots - Transport], she finally stops shooting around.

Angus and Jayna could understand how Anna missed the previous incident. At this point, they don't know if her insight is great or not. She missed sawing Lotord's sudden appearance but noticed him after the whole mess occurred and ran far away.

"Anna, here. No one will hurt Porky." said Jayna while hugging the adorable pouting Anna.

"Ehh… But Anna is certain. It must be a super baddie. Anna needs to burst it. Anna promises Porky to take care of the adorable Porky Porky." retorted Anna, but still let Jayna hug and spoil her.

On the other hand, Angus decides to ignore the girls and tries to devise another plan. Their previous plan may look reckless, but it is not without many consideration. In fact, their last position is actually quite far away from Stonehall to avoid any high-grade dwarves.

They are certain they could somehow weaken or break the barrier before being surrounded by more sixth grade. Even if any sixth grade is nearby, they expect they can handle them like before. Unfortunately, a furious seventh-grade dwarf suddenly attacks them.

Angus knows Seventh-grade people are quite feeble and unpredictable. In some ways, they are similar to monster-minded people.

However, unlike monster-minded people who change their opinion every second, most seventh-grade people are actually stubborn old fools. Unless someone touches their bottom line, they will just ignore everyone.

When a seventh grade moves towards them, it is usually for two reasons. One is for their obsession or interest, second is for someone touching their bottom line and making them angry. Except for these two reasons, they never move against those below them.

It will only blow their pride to bully those below them. They already have godly power and body, so it doesn't make sense to make things difficult for those below them unless it is for their amusement.

In other words, Angus and Jayna are certain the seventh-grade dwarves will not shoot against them unless they have a huge reason for it. In fact, Angus already tests these seventh-grade bottom lines when they create havoc during the day with Porky running around.

  If any seventh-grade dwarf finds Porky creating a ruckus and destruction offends them, they will show up and confront them at that time.

Yet, after making a lot of destruction and nearly destroying a quarter of the Undermine Council building for a whole day, these seventh graders are still not moving. Even after they injure and kill some of the dwarves, they still do not interfere with Angus' group.

These make Angus think the seventh-grade dwarves do not care about this big incident. Yet, a furious seventh-grade dwarf suddenly appeared and attacked them.

Since Angus and Jayna show their true potential to King Leon, the seventh-grade king spends no effort teaching them and reveals some information about the seventh-grade.

King Leon knows they will definitely reach the seventh-grade level in the future. Moreover, Angus and Jayna also already reach the bare minimum requirement to learn more about seventh grade. Now, Angus doubts King Leon's lesson and information about this furious dwarf.

'Is it because we tried to break the barrier? Or because we set ablaze the whole area? Well, no matter. We will not meet that dwarf again anytime soon.' thought Angus inwardly before noticing Alder's dreadful aura for a moment.

Unbeknownst to Angus, Elder Lotord is still trying to fight against the miasma poisoning in his body during the day. As the night fell, the poisoning worsened, slowly breaking his mind from the pain and miasma-corrupted properties.

This phenomenon often happens to high-grade combatants, such as fifth grade, when they survive the miasma poisoning until nighttime and cannot dispel it. Most of these people usually have not long life as their body's miasma gets wilder and kills them during the night.

However, Elder Lotord is a full-fledged seventh-grade dwarf. His body and high natural resistance as a dwarf capable of containing the corrosion of miasma.

In contrast, his mind which kept enduring tremendous pain, couldn't stop the miasma corruption. This makes him reckless, almost like monster-minded people.

During this moment, the Giant Porky flying in the air becomes the number one target of his revenge to release his pent-up pain and frustration.

The current flying Porky has some trace of Anna's miasma. In fact, his current strange condition almost makes him turn into a monster.

Now, Angus needs to revise their plan and add the factor of seventh grade. Although he is confident of escaping from the seventh grade, they must stop trying to break the barrier like before. This makes their hard work and effort turn useless.

The barrier will repair the damage if they don't continuously hit the same spot or area. Furthermore, Angus may have many weapons, but his magic guns and bullets are limited.

If they keep changing their location, they will only waste the magic gun. As for using other weapons, using other magic weapons to break the barrier is putting more risk than using magic guns.

While Angus is in a dilemma, his perception suddenly notices something from the surrounding area below.

"This is… earth elemental. Porky, move higher to the left!!" ordered Angus.

*Oink* The giant Porky waves its wing and follows Angus' direction. Suddenly, Angus could feel strong air turbulence in their surroundings. Using his perception and [Analyze], Angus knows these are gravity traps.

"Tch… It seems this time Dumrod is the one on the move. He really wants his green rock back." said Angus.
