I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

"Wooaah… Isn't that Zokline?!! How come that kind of ancient beast is here?" commented Alder.

*Swish* *BAAM* Instantly, the giant snake beast charges toward Nabe and Alder's location while hissing angrily.

"Err.. Nabe, what did you do? He is completely furious towards you." said Alder while dodging the incoming snake beast.

"I may have played with it a little bit last time." said Nabe.

While the two dodge Onyx's furious charge, Anna happily cheers it from the side.

"Go! Go! Onyx!! Beat them!!" said Anna while jumping around excitedly.

"Err… Anna, can't you tell Onyx to stop?" asked Angus.

"Ehh.. Why? It's just getting started." asked Anna while tilting her

"Well, we don't want to cause any more trouble in this current situation. So, can you calm Onyx down?" replied Angus honestly.

"Hmph!! Party Pooper!!" replied Anna while pouting.

Knowing the little girl's intention, "Alright. Alright. How about two pork chops for the next meal?" asked Angus.

"Make it three." replied Anna while drooling a little bit.

"Deal!! Now, calm Onyx down." said Angus as he noticed the monster overlord Alder was already annoyed by Onyx's persistence.

"Okay. Onyx, Stop!! Come back here!!" called Anna loudly.

The giant snake beast immediately stops on his track and returns to Anna. Along the way, his body gets smaller until it can easily hide inside Anna's clothes or hair.

"There.. There… It's okay." replied Anna while patting the Ancient beast.

"Hahaha… That's certainly an interesting pet you got there. Moreover, I never knew Zokline could be this obedient since it is famous for its gluttony." chimed Alder.

"Shut it, stupid lizard!! No one will complain if you do not talk. Anyway, we met again. It seems you are just going through a tough battle." said Nabe

Everyone could see that the surrounding area was still littered with monster corpses.

"Well, we get lucky and find Anna during the precarious moment. Otherwise, I will force my way out of here." replied Angus.

"Oh.. Do you have a way out?" asked Nabe curiously.

"Not really. It is just forcing through brute strength. But, I never plan to do it unless it is absolutely necessary." explained Angus.

"Good judgment. The current dungeon's abnormal behavior is because someone is forcing her way just to find someone."

"Not only does it completely destroy the dungeon structure beyond recognition, but it also starts to create an unknown bizarre monster called Dungeon Sweeper." said Nabe.

"Dungeon Sweeper? Miss Red Queen, can you explain more?" asked Angus worriedly.

After a lengthy explanation, "I see… No wonder, the monster resembles Anna's ter.. I mean Anna's masterpiece." said Angus.

"No.. It's not my masterpiece. Those ugly dumb dumb stinky grass does not resemble Anna's masterpiece." retorted Anna while on Jayna's lap.

'Since when the grass has become a negative word. Sometimes, I don't understand how her brain works.' thought Angus.

"Anna, the grass is not a bad word." lectured Jayna patiently while hugging Anna.

"Ehh.. But it tastes bad." replied Anna innocently.

"Huahahaha… I like your thinking, little monster." laughed Alder.

"Anna is not a little monster!! Anna is Anna." retorted Anna.

"Alright, we got sidetracked. So, did you have a way to get out of this dungeon?" asked Angus.

"Unfortunately, no. Unless we can somehow reach the dungeon core or the dungeon entrance created, we are stuck in this jumbled maze." said Nabe.

"Really?? Can't you do something? Isn't this your artificial dungeon creation?" asked Angus.

"*Sigh* If the dungeon only gets broken, I could still bring out a few people with me outside. However, it is impossible in our current situation."

"The dungeon has not only changed but matured faster. In other words, it is no longer an artificial dungeon but a real mature dungeon."  explained Nabe.

"Real matured dungeon in one day?!!" chimed Extalia.

"Yes. Therefore, I don't need to remind you to not reveal this information once you reach outside. I suggest you also put your people into strict soul-bound contracts. We don't want our current limit to become more inhabitable, right?" said Nabe.

As the high noble, Angus and Extalia know the importance of this information. Since a dungeon has the same value as a gold mine, more greedy people definitely tried to do research about this.

Before long, they will try it on natural land. During this trial phase, it will kill any living being in the area and make the whole area inhabitable if it fails to become a real dungeon. The presence of miasma in the land is too hazardous for everyone to live.

Unless it is a few special races, most of the races in Firuman are unable to stay in miasma for an extended period. Even the seventh-grade combatant avoided staying inside the miasma area for years.

Moreover, the miasma will be too thin for the monster's liking. Hence, it also couldn't become a monster habitat.

At most, it will only become a place for rearing low-grade monsters, which is also not profitable. Low-grade monsters are wisdomless and more aggressive than high-grade ones.

They also tend to migrate to civilization or high-mana concentrated areas. After a few months, the failed artificial dungeon will become a wasteland. It will take a lot of resources and effort to turn the whole area into a habitable one.

Because of its hazardous nature, the information about the artificial dungeon is sealed tightly and heavily regulated. Only the top people in the big kingdoms know about this.

The World Council placed a hefty punishment on any forces that did unauthorized artificial dungeon testing. Nabe dares to do it on Nirvas because she already has a way to turn the dungeon back.

Initially, she planned to return it back after a few days or a week at most. This way, the miasma will not be rooted deeply into the area and could be cleansed with a few wide-range spells. She also gets promised by Makar to help her fix the land.

Unfortunately, she didn't expect the dungeon to mature this fast because Anna broke the structure.

"Wait, if the dungeon is already matured, it should create the entrance, right?" asked Angus.

"That's the current problem. The dungeon entrance is created when the dungeon is too overloaded with monsters."

"Since little Anna stops breaking the dungeon structure, the dungeon also stops producing the dungeon sweeper and slowly returns to its previous spawning rate.

"I am not sure how many monsters it needed, but since we can't find any monster horde along the way, it should take some time before the dungeon entrance appears." explained Nabe.

"Tch… Can't we just create our own dungeon entrance?" asked Angus.

"And where should we create it?" retorted Nabe back.

"Isn't it just… Wait, if we keep moving in one direction, we should soon reach the dungeon boundary, right?" asked Angus.

"Did you think a dungeon is just a limited dimensional space? There is a reason why people never reach the dungeon boundary and destroy its structure." retorted Nabe back.

"Urgh… This is too troublesome. How about the dungeon core? Can we search for it?" asked Angus, still not giving up.

"It's more impossible than creating our own dungeon entrance. The dungeon core will be completely hidden during the initial phase. It is like the whole dungeon core is gone. Although the whole dungeon is messed up, its core is still completely hidden." said Nabe.

"Otherwise, I will definitely notice it as I put my own special rune on it." added Nabe.

"Then, all we could do was wait or move to avoid getting overwhelmed by the monster horde. So much trouble just for retrieving my Baron rewards. That's it. I will definitely not go anywhere for the next few years." grumbled Angus.

"Well, welcome to this world, kid." said Alder sarcastically while munching the nearby monster corpse casually.

As the monster overlord, he is the last person that should worry about miasma poisoning or blowing up from eating monster meat. Seeing the lizardman eating with gusto, Anna couldn't help but drool.

"Hahaha… Want some?" asked Alder while giving some monster meat.

Anna nodded excitedly, but before she could grab the meat, Jayna sternly stopped her.

"Anna, what did I tell you about eating raw meat?!!" lectured Jayna.

"Ahh.. That's bad. A stupid reptile almost made Anna get a stomach ache. Anna hates pain. Big sis, burn it!! Hurry!!" said Anna while pleading with Jayna.

"Err.. Anna, big sis, couldn't cook this monster meat properly. Its miasma is too potent to be eaten." said Jayna.

"Hahaha… Little chick, she is the last person that should worry about getting miasma poisoning. Her resistance is even higher than mine. Hell, I believe she could just eat monster overlord core without trouble." laughed Alder.

"Little chick?!" asked Angus warily.

"Angus, calm down. Apparently, he has some kind of relationship with Phoenix. Nabe told me he should babysit them or something." chimed Extalia while trying to calm the overprotective young man.

"Babysit Phoenix?? That's the first time I heard it. Jayna, did you know about it?" said Angus.

"Wait… Are you a true dragon?" asked Jayna back in surprise.
