I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

Hearing Jayna's story about the Power Arm, Angus couldn't help but want to test the current Power Arm by himself. According to Jayna, the current Power Arm managed to absorb the known mana and released it back.

It could also convert the energy and become an emergency energy reserve for the user. In Jayna's case, her power arm converts other energy to fire mana. For Angus, it converts to neutral mana.

Power arm also could store three small-scale attacks like Fireball, Soul Ball, Magic Arrow, etc. This is actually a purely accidental feature created when Vigo and Draught experimented with the Power Arm during the last few days.

However, this stored attack feature is still not perfect yet. The attack could hardly be controlled after some time had passed since it got stored.

Next, is the weight changing feature. This is a complex feature to grasp as people need the right timing to use it properly. Otherwise, people will get overwhelmed by it.

However, combatants like Angus, Jayna, and others with excellent battle sense could easily use this feature without a problem. According to Jayna, her attack becomes more destructive with the cost of less mana by using this feature.

Unexpectedly, the most benefited from this feature is Gilford. Most of Gilford's battle golem is lean towards physical attack then energy-based one.

By imbuing his golem with the Power Arm, his battle golem becomes more formidable, especially if it is controlled directly by Gilford. During the battle with the monster horde, the battle golem becomes a meat grinder in the field.

Unfortunately, Vigo could only make three Power Arm for Gilford because of the limited time. Still, the three Battle Golems are enough to kill hundreds of monsters until their power core is exhausted.

The current Power Arm that everyone had was also more durable than the first one Vigo created. Master Draught uses some of his resources to help Vigo make Power Arm for everyone.

Although it is not made of legendary material like dragon scale, it is durable enough to defend against dozens of third-grade monsters' attacks before being destroyed.

Of course, Jayna and the others are not the ones that test it this way. The three battle golem with Power Arm is the one that tests Power Arm's durability and its feature during the battle with the monster horde.

Then, Angus asked about everyone's condition and was glad that none received any significant injury from this monster horde. With the help of Millie as support and healer, everyone could fight to their fullest.

Moreover, they also still had a miasma potion to heal any miasma wound. So, everyone didn't need to fight cautiously to avoid the monster's attack.

Angus also heard that Ian somehow got a Neal Lion as his familiar. According to Jayna, currently, the Neal Lion is hiding from Anna.

The little troublemaker finally finds a new plaything beside the bubble and always wants to ride the white-skinned lion that she called big kitty.

Because of Anna's strong physique, Marko, the white Neal Lion, also couldn't fend off the little girl and always found her on his back. Fortunately, Marko could hide inside Ian as Draven hid in Angus's shadow.

After hearing that everyone is fine, Angus goes back to sleep as he still feels tired and sluggish. The next few days, Angus finally fully recovered and didn't feel tired like before. Moreover, he feels somehow more energized than before.

During these few days, he also catches up with Ian and finds how he survives and his terrible fate of getting kidnapped by the seventh-grade Neal Lion. While Ian stayed and trained in the Neal Lion's den, the seventh grade Neal Lion noticed his talent as a beast tamer.

Beast Tamer is a rare talent for other races to have more than one beast as their familiar. Unlike ordinary people, beast tamer could have a lot of familiars at once.

Moreover, beast tamer could bring the familiar most power, unlike ordinary people who only inhibit beast's growth. The beast that bonds with the beast tamer could become stronger and not restricted to the beast tamer's strength or grade.

Therefore, Ian is forced to have a contract with one of the Neal Lions by the Neal Leader. A beast that has contracted with a beast tamer may guarantee to reach a high-grade level like seventh grade.

However, the contract about becoming familiar itself is very sacred for the beast. Although the Neal Lion is eager to reach a higher grade, they will still not bow down easily towards Ian.

Most of the Neal Lions have a very unique and strict requirement for Ian to accept them as his familiar. After a series of tests, finally, Ian managed to bond with Marko, the white-skinned Neal Lion, with an Equal contract relationship.

Apparently, Neal Lion has a strong bloodline, and the rules of the special contract are applied. Fortunately, Ian has a talent as a beast tamer. Otherwise, he will be dead when he begins his contract with Marko.

The Equal contract means Ian and Marko have a friendly relationship. Ian needs to give something every time he borrows Marko's power. He also needs to fulfill a few of Marko's requests, like its food and stuff. Marko also will be released upon Ian's death.

Because of Ian's talent as a beast tamer and bonded with a strong beast for the first time, Ian also reached second grade like everyone.

Unfortunately, Ian also needed to grow more before he could tame another beast and withstand the backlash of the contract. Otherwise, he could just tame every beast he finds on the way to the entrance to Endless Battlefield.

After becoming Ian's familiar, Marko feels an attraction inside the Endless Battlefield. Then, they decide to depart together as the Neal Leader knows how strong Ian's fate is.

Not many people could survive the seventh-grade Neal Lion's large-scale attack and stay inside the beast territory for a long time. The Neal Lion leader obviously realizes Ian's strong fate and decides to let him go with Marko.

Moreover, Marko is a strong fourth-grade Neal Lion and has already reached a level that he needs to venture on his own to surpass his current strength. Ian and Marko take a different portal entrance that leads towards Endless Battlefield.

However, at the last moment, the monster horde destroys the portal after they enter it. Like what happens to the entrance near Porros, their portal entrance releases a tremendous amount of mana and leads the surrounding monster to go berserk while targeting it.

Fortunately, Ian and Marko managed to find Angus and the portal exit. Otherwise, they will never come back from that cursed land. Like Angus, Ian also gets something from the Endless Battlefield.

Ian gets something like a beast tamer legacy from Marko's ancestor. However, to utilize this power, he needs to get stronger at least until Marko level. Marko himself also gets power from his ancestor.

The ancestor of Neal Lion actually can control disasters such as wildfire, hurricanes, blizzards, and thunderstorms.

After thousands of years passed by, this power was forgotten, and Neal Lion could only use a small portion of this power. Only with the help of beast tamer, that the Neal Lion could once again regain this power.

Hearing Ian's story about his survival, everyone couldn't help but remember Axel, whose condition was still unknown. However, they believe he is still alive and fine.

"Don't worry, Axel probably is surrounded by many people and starts to chatter about some unnecessary stuff." said Mia tried to diffuse everyone's worry.

At the same time, inside the unnamed forest, a boy couldn't help but sneeze many times.

"Damn it.. Whose beauty is talking about my awesomeness?!" said Axel.

"Quite bragging weak Axel!! Continue the story!!" said the small bright light near him.

"Yeah.. yeah… Hurry, continue the story!" said another bright light.

"Yeah, what happened next? Did the princess die?" said another bright light.

"Alright.. Alright.. I will continue. So, everyone, please be quiet." said Axel.

Just as he wanted to continue his story, he heard an engine sound and tremor coming from far away. Axel and the surrounding elemental spirit immediately become vigilance. Before long, Axel finds four gigantic metal things passing through the forest.

"What the hell is that?!!" exclaimed Axel.

At the same time, Isvel, who is on top of the Alkin deck, noticed Axel's presence.

"A kid?? Wait... his clothes look familiar." said Isvel.

After another few days of resting, Angus and everyone decide to go towards the meeting point where they will be met with the rest of the Sur villagers. During the past few days, Angus still didn't find the usage of the red blood crystal inside his body.

After the purification process, the red blood crystal entirely becomes one with his body. He could feel it like his mana core and his dantian, but its physical form was already long gone. It feels like the relic has completely become one with his body.

Angus also couldn't find any information about soul reserve in his status panel. No matter what he did, he could not change the point from zero. Finally, Angus gives up and lets it be since he feels the current soul artifact will not harm him.
