I Just want a Peaceful life

"So, what did you think about it, Crimson Flash?" asked Nabe to one of the cave paths.

Hearing the question, Duchess Amberblaze flashed and appeared not far from Nabe.

"What do you mean by this Red Queen Nabe?" said the Duchess while reading her greatsword artifact.

"See that, Yawan. That should be the proper reaction when fighting a seventh-grade magician. Mana covers and enhances all over the body, ready to give the fastest possible reaction whenever I cast a spell." said Nabe to Yawan on the ground.

"This way, even if she couldn't cut off my head in one strike, she could react to anything I throw at her. Not just blindly charging out. Ohhh… How foolish of me?! You are already blind. There is no need to teach you more. Guess that lizard foolishness is starting to infect me." mocked Nabe.

The Duchess didn't react and kept her vigilance. Like Nabe said, she is ready to use her best to cut Nabe's head the moment she feels any mana fluctuation from Nabe.

The seventh-grade magician is known for being a capable instacast high circle spell. In some ways, they are more dangerous and difficult to deal with than seventh-grade warriors.

"No need to be aggressive, Crimson Flash. I offer you an opportunity and deal here." said Nabe.

"What is it?" asked the Duchess shortly.

"In return for all this trouble, you could take five young female Altras to gain some experience." replied Nabe.

"Sounds more trouble. Besides, they are criminals who have terrorized your kingdom for years. Why should I take them in?" asked Duchess Amberblaze.

"You could treat them as slaves, free workers, or even experiment on them. As long as you didn't intentionally kill them, you could do anything to them." replied Nabe casually.

"Wait!! No, we prefer to die than… Argghh!!" said Tylie.

Before saying anything, she suddenly screamed as if her entire body burned from the inside.

Ignoring the scream, "So, how about it?" asked Nabe.

"Before I give you my answer, can you explain what is going on here?" asked the Duchess.

"I will save you from all the technical details. In short, the Seven Faces or these few female Altras use one of my creations to change the capital city into a dungeon."

"Since the dungeon is connected with the Thousand Hurdle Monument, it prevents Altras from shapeshifting and revealing their true form. They tried using this opportunity to usurp all the elders." explained Nabe.

"Personally, I think this is a good plan since they can convince many people to become part of the rebellion. They could become good leaders in the future." added Nabe.

"Hmm… So, it is a Dungeon? No wonder… Then, can you save my people or teleport them here?" asked the Duchess.

"Unfortunately, I couldn't do that." replied Nabe.

"Why? Isn't it your creation?" asked the Duchess.

"My magic tools only trigger the dungeon's creation and not control it. Everything that will happen from now on is beyond my hand. This is also why I let these girls use it in the first place. I could gather some real data for the real product." said Nabe.

The Duchess didn't comment, but everyone noticed her anger as her mana became quite erratic and flared up a little bit. Still, she knows she will not get anything if she lashes out her frustration and anger at Nabe.

"Can't you just cancel it or something?" asked the Duchess, trying to calm down.

"No. These girls made some changes to my tools. They anchor my tools to all the Nirvas elders. As long as they survive, the dungeon will become more solid until it can no longer be reverted back." explained Nabe, ignoring the anger of the Duchess.

"So, you are saying as long as the Nirvas' elders are still alive, the dungeon will stay." said the Duchess.

"Yup. You don't have to worry about the kids. They could handle themself. In fact, others should be worried about them. You also didn't need to worry about the exit. Like every dungeon, they also need an exit or entrance to connect with the world." said Nabe.

"I hope you are right. Then, where is the exit?" asked the Duchess.

"I don't know. But, it should be naturally formed after the dungeon settles down." replied Nabe truthfully.

"How long will it be?" asked the Duchess.

"If before, it should have been months or more, but now it has changed." said Nabe.

"Months? What did you mean it changes?" asked the Duchess in worry.

"You see, because of little Anna going rampant, breaking the cave wall and killing many monsters, the dungeon formation is faster than normal." explained Nabe.

"If she keeps going like this, this place will become a permanent dungeon in a few hours and the exit will appear in a day or less. In fact, this is already outside of my calculation. I didn't even know such a thing was possible until little Anna did this." added Nabe.

"So, what did you think about my previous offer?" asked Nabe again.

"Can you give me some time?" said the Duchess before flashing out of the cave area.

"Sure. I will wait here for your answer." said Nabe.

"We never agree about this!!" said Tylie.

Nabe didn't reply and glanced at Tylie.

"I don't need your agreement or opinion to do that." said Nabe coldly.

"Y-You can't do this to us!!" said Tylie.

"Yes, I can. In fact, if I want, I could sell you to the highest bidder under the pretext of letting you experience things. You should learn that without strength to back up, any ideology, opinion, right or wrong, is useless." said Nabe.

"Now, I suggest you pray the Crimson Flash accepts the deal or I will be forced to sell you to the highest bidder outside. I think many people will try to buy you since it's been a while since the Altras race appeared on the market." said Nabe.

Hearing Nabe's remarks, Tylie couldn't help but shudder at it.

In the meantime, an Altras wearing a disgust mask stands above the pile of Altras corpses. Three of the corpses are wearing high-class tribal clothes that could only be used by the Elders.

"*Spit* Is this the so-called elders, huh? So weak and disgusting. Even after getting help from another elder yet still weak." grumbled the disgust mask.

"I think I should try to search for the others. I hope they can finish that disgusting Yawan." mumbled the disgust mask.

Just as the disgusted masked person wants to move, he notices a few attacks from her side [Miasma Ball]. *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* The disgust mask person dodges from his spot and creates a distance while vigilance at the new enemy.

From the nearby cave path, a few unknown monsters appeared. The monster has a bizarre appearance. Some look like giant fish with two thin hairy human legs. There are also a few tigers with skinny four legs and big paws.

Despite the weird and bizarre appearance, the disgust mask person didn't underestimate them since all of them were in fourth grade and almost reached fifth grade. It should be known that these monsters have the strength of a general or squad leader.

"Weird… I don't remember we have these disgusting monsters in our collection." said the disgust mask.

*GROOAAR* Hearing the insult, the monster shoots [Miasma Ball] at the person and starts the fight.

The same thing also happens all over the dungeon. Each big group will find a bizarre-looking monster with the strength of fourth grade.

Meanwhile, Angus grumbled while reading the list of items they looted from the Altras.

"... twenty high-grade swords, a hundred mana potions, and half a million Nir?? Are you sure this is right?" asked Angus to the nearby knight.

"Yes, sir. The Altras in Redmore tend to keep all their belongings in their storage tools since they rarely stay in one house." replied the knights.

"That's like inviting getting robbed. Wait, did all of them have storage tools?" asked Angus.

"Yes. I hear every Altras gets a space pouch after they reach a certain age. I am not sure about the details." replied the knight.

"As expected of the biggest supplier of space magic tools." said Angus before suddenly looking at one of the cave paths.

"Distribute all the weapons, armors, and potions to others. I want everyone to be ready in five minutes. It seems we got some company." said Angus seriously.

"Yes, sir." replied the knights before following his order.

On the other hand, Angus approaches Jayna who looks at the cave path intensely.

"Did you feel it?" asked Angus.

"Yes. They are not ordinary monsters like before. I don't know how but suddenly few lives appeared out of nowhere. These living beings… I feel it is incomplete or has some kind of defect. It is like they are made in a hurry." said Jayna with a frown.

*GROOARR* Soon, a few bizarre monsters emerge from the cave paths. Some look like birds with beaks but have happy smiling faces and walk with two legs instead of flying. They also see a monster that looks like a horse with a long face but very short legs and long tails.

Seeing the bizarre monsters, "Why do I feel they are similar to a child drawing?" asked Angus.

"Hmm?? You are right. They look like Anna's terrible drawings. Wait.. Angus!! There is a slight Anna's presence in all of them." exclaimed Jayna.
