I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

"Let's help them!! There are a dozen monsters nearby." said Angus.

Hearing this, everyone also begins to help the adventurer and fight seriously. After fighting the brown wolves for a moment, everyone heard another roar from the tunnel behind them. *MOOO*

Several grade three minotaurs appeared at the end of the tunnel. All of the minotaurs are charging at them at a fast speed [Stampede].

"Anna blocks one of them in the front. Jayna helped her contain the minotaurs." said Angus.

Both of them immediately go towards the charging minotaur. Then, using her small hand, Anna managed to stop the biggest minotaur in the front using all her strength. *BAM*

But, she is also starting to get pushed back as the other minotaur hits the back of the front minotaur.

"Anna, retreat now!! Jayna uses your fire!!" said Angus as he also started chanting a spell.

Before they could move forward and pursue Anna, a thick vine also started sprouting from the ground [2nd Circle – Entroot].

"Good job in stopping their momentum." said teacher Elis after casting the spell to bind the front row of the minotaur.

Then, Angus releases a massive [Fire Oil] towards the minotaurs. At the same time, Jayna released a concentrated [Crimson Slash] on it. *BOOMM* All the remaining Minotaur immediately died from the Angus and Jayna attack combination.

Seeing this, "Oi.. Oi… Are you sure they are only sixteen years old?!" said one of the adventurers.

"Stop looking around and moving your weapon!!" rebuked Raul.

At the same time, every teacher and adventurer is surprised at Angus's quick judgment. Not only that, his leadership is impeccable. It seems like he could predict and see the entire area while supporting with spells. Suddenly, Angus notices something in his detection.

"Teacher, we need to move. I detect a lot of monsters attracted towards here." said Angus.

"Are you sure?" asked teacher Elis.

"Yeah, I have a special skill to detect the surroundings." replied Angus.

Hearing this, Elis looks at the vice-principal Ellen. The vice-principal Ellen immediately notified Raul about this.

"Another monster wave?!! We need to move from here not to get surrounded. Guide starts searching for the safe path." commanded Raul.

A few moments later, they begin retreating towards one of the other tunnels while killing the monsters. Angus and the teachers decide not to hold back anymore and release a series of spells to kill the incoming monster.

However, like a moth coming to a fire, the monster keeps coming at them endlessly. In the end, they could only retreat and escape from being surrounded from everywhere.

Fortunately, they are inside a tunnel with only two ways and could only hold several monsters at once. After dozens of minutes of running and retreating, they finally arrive at a gigantic bridge with a massive ravine below it.

It also has a very high ceiling like a skyscraper. Still, none of them could enjoy such a magnificent scene as they are currently being pursued from behind by the monster. Without wasting more time, they decide to enter the gigantic bridge to cross the hole.

The bridge is very wide and long. Even Angus could not cover the entire bridge with his [Great Mana Echolocation].

After running for a few minutes, "Huh?? What is that?" said Angus.

"Angus, what do you find?" asked Jayna.

"A monster, A gigantic monster, but I don't know what it is." said Angus.

Suddenly, the monster in Angus' perception disappears from his detection.

"Everyone scatters around!! It's coming from above!" shouted Angus.

Before everyone could respond, the monster was already landing fast in the middle of the group [Reckless Drop]. *BAMM* the whole bridge immediately shaking. At the same time, a few adventurers died under the surprise attack of the monster.

The monster has the head of a goat and a tall, muscular body. It also has a bloody great axe on its hand. "S-Satyr, a grade-four Satyr!!" muttered the nearby adventurer.

Then, Satyr begins butchering the shocked adventurer nearby. Before it could continue killing the adventurer, Raul instantly arrives in front of it and clashes with it. *BAM*

"Tch.. What a great day to find satyr and a great four one." said Raul.

Satyr is a bipedal monster with goat characteristics. It is true strength is not coming from its body strength like any other monster, but it comes from its weapon proficiency. Furthermore, its battle sense is also great.

After being held back by Raul, the Satyr suddenly grinned and jumped in the air. At this split second, Angus knew what it was going to do.

'Damn!! No time to set up Domain!!' thought Angus.

He immediately grabs Jayna and Anna beside him before jumping off the bridge. Just as he holds Jayna and Anna, the Satyr releases a strong miasma-based energy slash [Ridge Edge].

*BAAMM* The entire bridge gets enveloped by [Ridge Edge] and kills a few teachers and adventurers on the way.

Fortunately, Ian and the others are on the other half of the group. But, they couldn't help seeing everyone else is killed by the satyr attack except Raul, who managed to defend himself at the last moment.

Seeing Angus, Jayna, and Anna jump off the bridge, everyone is shocked and trying to help them. However, they already disappear into the dark hole below them.

"You… Damn it, monster. Don't get cocky!!" said Raul as he flared up his mana.

"Marko, Let's go!!" said Ian as he summoned Marko for the first time in a while.

"Damn, monster!! [Summon Spirit: Wind Spirit]" said Axel.

Both Millie and Mia also burn in anger towards the smiling monster in the front.

In the meantime, Angus, Jayna, and Anna keep falling even after a few seconds of jumping off the bridge.

"Wohooo… I am flying!!" said Anna while playing herself in the air.

"Angus, what do we need to do now?" asked Jayna.

"Hmm… Waiting" said Angus.

"Waiting?! Waiting for what?" asked Jayna.

"Waiting for this. [2nd Circle - Featherfall]" said Angus as he cast the spell to everyone.

Suddenly, their fall slows down until they touch the ground safely.

"If you could do that, why are you not casting it the first time?" asked Jayna.

"We would float without a way to go up or down if we weren't near the ground. Furthermore, we will still fall to this place." said Angus.

At the same time, Anna starts to explore the surroundings as Angus cast [Light Ball] to illuminate the surrounding. Thousands of bones and skulls surround the place they are landed.

"Angus.. Angus.. BOO!!" said Anna while wearing a big skull.

"Anna, stop playing around." rebuked Jayna.

"So, which way should we go?" asked Jayna towards Angus.

"Not sure, but there is a big door not far from here." said Angus.

"Then, let's check it." said Jayna excitedly.

"Alright, we also probably will be here for a while." replied Angus while leading the way and controlling the [Light Ball] to illuminate the surrounding.

After walking for a while, they find a big door with one skeleton near it. Angus and Jayna decide to observe the door while Anna approaches the skeleton and pokes its skull. Then, the skeleton moves a little bit and looks at Anna.

"Angus.. the skeleton is moving." said Anna.

"Anna, don't play with the skeleton." rebuked Jayna again.

At this moment, the skeleton gets up from his spot and looks at everyone.

After staring at each other for a while, "Hello, morning everyone." said the skeleton.

"Err.. Undead?" asked Jayna.

"Teng... wrong answer, young girl. I am not that measly mindless undead." said the skeleton.

"Then, what are you? I don't even feel life in you." said Angus.

"Ahh.. pardon me, where is my manner? I am the immortal, Benjamin Graham, at your service." replied the skeleton while bowing down.

"Err.. Angus Victory." said Angus.

"Jayna Heart" said Jayna.

"I am Anna." said Anna while making a peace sign.

"Heart, Are you one of the current royalty of this kingdom?" asked Benjamin.

'Current royalty?!' thought Angus.

"Yes, I am the 4th princess of the Heart kingdom." said Jayna.

"Ahh.. It's an honor to be in the presence of the princess." said Benjamin while bowing.

"Mr. Skeleton... Mr. skeleton. Did you poop?" asked Anna innocently.

"Hahahaha… What a good question. But, no, I am incapable of excreting or taking any kind of substance like any living being."

"Ehh.. then, you must have been holding it for a long time. Weak green bubble said it is not good for your tummy to hold it." replied Anna.

"Err.." everyone became speechless at Anna's words.

"Ehem.. Anyway, what are you doing in one of the deepest parts of this dungeon?" asked Benjamin.

"Well, because of some unforeseen situation, we fell, and then we somehow arrived here. Do you perhaps know the way to go up?" asked Angus.

"Hmm… It seems you had a rough day. As for the way to go up, there is actually one. But, I don't recommend it. Well, there is one exit here behind this door. However, it is also guarded by my greatest creation." said Benjamin.

"Your greatest creation?" asked Angus back.

"Yeah, have you ever heard of the legendary Homunculus?" asked Benjamin.
