I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

"Jane, block that sandstorm!!" command Jade

Hearing the clan Head, Jane, the eldest daughter of Jade, immediately gathers some of the villagers. All of them take out a great axe and spin rapidly on their spot.

A moment later, flames came out from their great axe. Using the spinning centrifugal force, they jump high in the air along with their great blazing axe with Jane on the lead.

While in the air, they kept rotating and covered in fire. Later, their entire body is covered with fire and keeps approaching the sandstorm.

"Release, Now!! [Fire Axe 1st style - Flame wheel]" yelled Jane as she shot a massive fire from her great axe.

Following Jane's lead, the other villagers also shot their own [Flame Wheel] towards the sandstorm. Although their [Flame wheel] is not as big as Jane had, they soon merged together and created a giant firewall towards the sandstorm.

*BOOMM* The fire and sandstorm clash and create a huge disturbance nearby. Since the sandstorm contains a lot of wind, the fire becomes more extensive and makes a big zone within the sandstorm.

While all of this is happening, the Clan Head Jade leads the other people to hunt down all the retreating intruders.

Looking at this, Angus feels something is wrong and immediately uses [Great Mana Echolocation] to detect everything nearby. Suddenly, Angus feels something big is coming towards the village from the other direction.

"This is… What the hell is this?" said Angus.

Angus tries to warn the other guard that running towards the intruder, but the nearby wind is too strong for his voice to be heard. Leaving with no choice, Angus ran towards the other direction of the village while sending a few villagers towards the Clan Head for help.

Along the way, Angus meets with Jayna. Looking at Angus's serious face, she immediately knows something is wrong and decides to follow him.

"Jayna, there is something big approaching the village in the other direction." shouted Angus while running.

Soon, they arrive at the other side of the village that is lacking people since most of them fight the intruder or help the other villagers evacuate.

While waiting for the things to appear, "Huhh.. I thought I was here first. It seems my cousin's insight is not bad." said Gilford, who emerged from behind them.

"Ahh.. Cousin Gilford, there is something big approaching the village from that direction." said Angus.

"Ehh.. How did you know? I don't see anything besides these sand dunes. I only thought the intruder's behavior was a little bit weird and checked the least guarded area in the village." replied Gilford.

"I just use a big detecting spell." replied Angus.

"Hmm… I see.. Anyway, what kind of things is it? Can you describe it to me?" asked Gilford.

"It has a lot of protruding like spikes all over its body and has quite a long body. I am not sure, but it doesn't seem to have a face and is moving towards the village like a snake." explained Angus.

Hearing Angus's explanation, Gilford became solemn, "Hmm… if what you say is true, we couldn't let that thing come near the village." said Gilford.

"Cousin, Did you happen to know that thing?" asked Angus.

"Yes, but it should not be living here. Based on your description, it should be Plague Worm. It is a monster that should be living in the toxic wasteland far away from here." explained Gilford.

"The problem is that this big worm is very resilient towards any environment and could spread various dangerous diseases nearby by its mucus. Since it is a monster, it probably attracts towards this way as there is a strong mana disturbance here." said Gilford.

"We can't let this monster come near the village, or it will turn the whole village into a plague zone. Fortunately, you found this monster first. Otherwise, it will be too late." added Gilford.

"I agree… But, that thing is so huge, around a few hundred meters. I don't know what grade it is. However, I think we should call uncle Jade to fend it away." said Angus.

"There is no time for that. Besides, I think other people come with the Plague Worm. Say, cousin, how far is that Plague worm from this village?" asked Gilford.

"Around two to three kilometers. Wait, don't tell me?" replied Angus.

"Yes, they use some sort of camouflage to hide the approaching Plague Worm." said Gilford.

"Tch.. they really think this attack thoroughly." said Angus.

'Yes, this kind of attack at this scale couldn't be done by an ordinary group. It's probably from another village.' thought Gilford.

"Well, cousin, Lady Jayna. We can't let the worm approach the village any further. I could handle the worm myself, but if the other intruder interferes, it will be difficult to hold it."

"Do you think you two could hold the other intruder until I was done with the Plague Worm?" said Gilford with a smile.

Hearing this, both Angus and Jayna look at each other before nodding their head. "Leave them to us." said Angus.

After Gilford sent a notice about the current situation towards the nearby guard, they went to the Plague Worm location.

While running on the sand, Angus keeps using [Great Mana Echolocation] and finally detects the other intruders coming towards them at a fast speed.

"Five people are approaching us from the other direction." warned Angus.

"Five? Can you two hold them down?" asked Gilford.

"Don't worry. We are good at taunting people and running away. Just focus on the Plague Worm." said Angus confidently.

After a while, "They are here. The worm is only a few hundred meters away." said Angus as he shot a few [Firebolt] towards each of the intruders and the Plague Worm. *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

The intruders managed to withstand the [Firebolt], but their disguise became undone from Angus's firebolt. As A magician, Angus knows that camouflage is hard to maintain. It only needs a 1st Circle Spell like [Firebolt] to undo them.

All the intruders were wearing a gas mask while looking at the Angus group wearily.

"Tch.. it seems one of them has a detection method. Let's eliminate them first!!" said one of the intruders.

Suddenly, Gilford flares up his mana and reveals his grade four strength.

"Angus, Lady Jayna, I leave them to you two." said Gilford before running in the other direction.

Feeling Gilford's mana, the Plague Worm monster instinctively attracted to him and changed its course.

"Damn it, Kill him first!!" yelled one of the intruders.

Before they could follow Gilford, [Fiery Burst] Jayna appeared on their path and brandished her sword.

"I will not let you get in the way." said Jayna coldly.

"Tch.. Just a kid like you should shut up and get away." as the intruder attacks Jayna.

However, at this moment, Angus shot a few [Fireball] toward the intruder. *Bom* *Bom* *Bom*

The intruders couldn't help but be pushed back by the exploded [Fireball] and retread back.

"This is getting annoying. But, you are not the only one with a Magician." said the intruder.

Suddenly, an earth spike appeared from the ground towards Jayna [2nd Circle - Earth Spike]. At the last second, Jayna managed to dodge the earth spike calmly. Using this opportunity, the other intruder already launched their attack.

Before they approach Jayna, an earth wall appears on their path [2nd Circle - Earth Wall]. The intruder managed to break through the earth wall easily. Because of the delay, Jayna uses this chance to get away from the intruder.

"Dual Element magician, Sure enough, the Sur Clan is the cradle of genius. It's a shame. You will die here." said one of the intruders approaching Angus.

Then, Angus takes out his Sky Thorn and parries the intruder sword.

"Who said I am a magician?" said Angus with a taunting smile.

The other intruders were surprised at Angus's sudden performance. Suddenly, a scream was heard from behind the intruder.

"Arrghh" screamed the magician in the intruder group.

The magician is slumping down on the ground lifelessly as his heart is penetrated by something in black color that came out from his shadow.

"What's that?" exclaimed the other intruder.

Using this opportunity, Angus and Jayna regroup together. While regrouping, Angus didn't miss his chance to shoot out a spell towards his opponent [2nd Circle - Flame Wave]. A wall of fire pushes his opponent back away.

"Keep focus!! Eliminate the brats first!!" said one of the intruders while approaching Angus and Jayna.

"Got you!!" said Angus as he took out his rune magic card.

The magic card shone brightly and cast a burst of cold aura [3rd Circle - Freezing Blast]. Looking at this, the intruder couldn't help deciding to dodge the incoming spell.

While dodging the [Freezing Blast], a few earth spikes rise from the ground and stab his feet [2nd Circle - Earth Spike].

"Arrghh!!" scream the intruder in pain.

The other intruder wanted to help him, but a hot crimson wave turned them away [Sword Art - Crimson Slash]. Jayna brandished her sword and fended off the other intruder.

The injured intruder imbues his feet with mana and destroys the earth spike before regrouping with the other intruders.

"Ehh.. why come back so early? Didn't you say you wanted to kill me?" taunting Angus.

*BOOM*
