I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

*BOOOM* The two colossal creatures hit each other again and shook the whole Humnia Grassland. Humnia Grassland is a vast grassland that could span a few hundred square kilometers.

Yet this massive area is shaking and riddled with various cracks on the ground. The colossal impact affects the surrounding area even after thousands of kilometers away. Oblivious to the destruction they cause, Onyx and the giant tentacle keep fighting each other.

In the meantime, Angus and the others hide inside a big low hole made by his earth spell. They hide from the violent shock and airwaves the two colossal creatures produce. *BOOM*

"Go.. Go.. Onyx!! You can do it!!" cheered Anna happily while inside the hole.

Ignoring the little troublemaker, "We need to go back now!!" yelled Aunt Extalia as another shockwave was released.

At the same time, Jade and King Andvari could feel and see two colossal creatures fighting in the Humnia Grassland. They noticed that their stronghold would soon be left with nothing but ruin if the fight continued.

Although they have already deployed a powerful barrier, the tentacle creature is inhabited deep on the ground and shakes the ground harshly each time it moves.

They don't know how long the strong barrier on their fortress's foundation can withstand the constant shake. Moreover, the earthquake kept getting stronger as time passed.

"Duke Cresflare, I leave the fortress to you. Make sure to keep the barrier active and keep the fort stand." said Jade before flying towards Humnia Grassland.

The same thing also happens on the Nergal's fortress side. King Andvari leaves his post and goes towards the two colossal fighting beast locations. Jade and King Andvari only thought to stop the two creatures fighting before their fortress was destroyed.

For adventurers and monster hunters, colossal creatures are a good and easy target. Because of its enormous size, it could be easily targeted. They only need specialized weapons, skills, or spells to penetrate their body.

On the contrary, every nation and kingdom always thought colossal monsters/beasts were a nightmare. Taking down such an enormous creature is not easy and takes time. During this time, the gigantic creatures could easily destroy everything in the surrounding area.

Sometimes this destruction may end up destroying a whole kingdom and creating massive loss to them. For a kingdom with a seventh-grade leader, they will prefer to fight against humanoid creatures rather than large-sized creatures.

Humanoid monsters or beasts may also create destruction, but they could be lured to an empty area or easily be trapped inside a strong barrier to prevent further destruction.

However, colossal creatures couldn't be trapped inside the barrier as they could destroy it with just a casual movement.

"No, we can't go back. We need to return this octopus or that tentacle beast will keep going on a rampage." said Angus.

"Tch… Then, leave it to me. I will deliver it. You three are back now and no more trouble!! Understand!!" said Aunt Extalia in an angry tone before taking the octopus creature from Anna and disappearing.

"Ahh… My snack!! Boohoo… Meanie, red hag." said Anna while pouting.

Hearing Anna's comment, Angus and Jayna couldn't help but choke and tried so hard not to laugh. No one will dare to say Crimson Flash as a hag beside the little troublemaker. Still, they agreed with Aunt Extalia and decided to return to the fort first.

Just as they want to move from the hole they currently hide, Angus feels something with his [Great Mana Echolocation].

"Jayna!!" called Angus.

"Yeah, I know." replied Jayna as she took out her sword.

"It seems we could still hunt those Vitas moles." said Angus.

At the same time, somewhere around the Humnia Grassland, dozens of slender and tall people came out of the shaking ground.

"Puahh!! What the hell is that?!!" said one of the Vitas mercenaries while looking at the huge tentacle from afar.

"I am not sure. But, we need to get out of here." said the mercenary leader as he also felt a strong mana fluctuation approach the two colossal monsters.

Because of the massive tremor and earthquake, Vitas' basecamp was also destroyed. The shock inside underground is many times stronger than on the surface.

Even though it couldn't injure Vitas' special body, it will still make them uncomfortable if they stay underground. Moreover, some low-grade members even feel motion sickness from all the tremors.

If they stay underground, they may get lost during the underground movement and could reach deeper areas. Vitas may be able to travel and breathe underground, but they still have limitations.

Once they reach a certain depth, they may be exposed to hot magma or poisonous gas. They may also encounter other unknown dangers. In the end, they didn't have any choice but to go surface and evacuate first.

Meanwhile, Onyx keeps fighting the tentacle beast without caring for the surroundings. As it wants to clash again, another gigantic tentacle emerges from the ground and slaps the gigantic snake. *BAMM*

The Ancient Zokline glared at the newcomer tentacle in anger. *HIISSHH* Suddenly, all of its scales stand up and release toxic gas around the area. The gas is so potent that it could melt the hard rock slowly. The surrounding grass is also dying at a fast rate.

As soon as the tentacle touches the toxic gas, its skin blisters and it begins to tremble in pain. *GRRTTT* A loud wave reverb across the Humnia Grassland. During this moment, Jade, King Andvari, and Aunt Extalia also arrive at the scene not far from the toxic gas area.

They couldn't get close as Onyx kept releasing a dangerous toxic gas.

"I didn't expect to meet Crimson Flash, here?" said King Andvari with a mocking smile.

"Shut up, Old Goat. I don't want to see you or any of your stupid mustache." retorted Aunt Extalia.

"Hmph… You have no idea of my beautiful mustache. It is certainly nicer than your stupid king," said King Andvari in a narcissistic manner.

While King Andvari praised his own goatee-mustache, "Jade, We need to give back this baby octopus to that huge tentacle beast before their fight escalates further." said Extalia through her telepathy spell.

"What!! How did you have such a thing?!" replied Jade in surprise.

"The little monster found it." replied Extalia without explaining further.

"*Sigh* I should have never asked. Fine, give the octopus to me. This toxic gas is nothing to me. Keep an eye on this old bastard." said Jade.

"Sure." replied Extalia while giving the wounded baby octopus to Jade.

Then, Jade immediately turns into fiery fire and goes through the poison mist before him. In the meantime, Extalia raises her sword to King Andvari.

"Hmm… What's that?" asked King Andvari while ignoring Extalia's hostile gesture.

Suddenly, King Andvari takes out his mace artifact and parries Extalia's attack.

"Tch… As fierce as always. Why don't you stop defending your ungrateful king and join me? I will be happy to have someone like you by my side. At least I could…" said King Andvari with a smile.

Before finishing his sentence, Duchess Amberblaze launch her attack. *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* The Duchess didn't reply to King Andvari's provocation and kept attacking King Andvari fiercely in the air.

Unfortunately, none of her attacks are going through. The Nergal king could parry her fast attack with small movements while keeping his mocking smile.

This didn't mean he had an easy time either. When their weapon artifact clashes, King Andvari feels his hand getting numbed. If it were not for his vast combat experience and strong body, he would have been thrown away just from their first clash.

Still, it does not mean King Andvari couldn't beat the fierce woman in front of him. If he wanted, he could easily overpower his opponent, but it would be useless as the Duchess could effortlessly dodge his attack.

King Andvari actually didn't expect to find Crimson Flash here. With the combination of Jade and Crimson Flash, it will be a tough fight for him. But, it is also not a life-threatening battle.

This is not a place where King Andvari and Jade could go all-out, especially with the two colossal beasts fighting nearby. Just by these two beasts clashing, it is already producing large-scale mana turbulence.

If they also fight in this place, there will be another liquify mana turbulence like in the past. Both sides don't want another monster overlord coming out from the nearby Dark Forest.

Therefore, King Andvari and the Duchess only fight because they are enemies but not to the point of getting serious. The Duchess prefers to fight this despicable goatee-mustache rather than chat with him.

At the same time, King Andvari didn't mind this and wanted to see the strength of Crimson Flash after a long time. King Andvari also realizes whatever creature that Jade brings may be the key to calming down the two colossal monsters.

He didn't know the real problem but his instinct as a seventh grade told him not to mess with the creature in Jade's hand.
