I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

"Hahaha… I didn't know the Heart had someone…. Urrghh!!" laughed Mad Monk Orpus while hitting the ground.

During his talk, Orpus feels like getting stabbed in the chest. He immediately punched Lily hard before taking a distance. Unfortunately, Lily reacted fast and already took a distance after piercing Orpus.

"Fuck!! That hurts!!" cursed Orpus in anger.

Orpus has always prided himself on his body ever since he reached sixth grade. He could even resist fourth-circle spells unscathed. Therefore, he was surprised that Lily was capable of penetrating his chest with a casual attack.

Unbeknown to Orpus, Lily already realized Orpus's abnormal body when she sent him flying away long ago. When Orpus returned, Lily had already covered her dagger with thick mana and made sure to increase her penetration attack using [Dagger art - Point Edge].

If it were not for her current weak core from the Shurvas End side effect, she could actually dice Orpus the first time they met. This is also the reason why she couldn't use any spells. Still, her combat experience is enough to fight the Nergals.

Not giving Orpus time to breathe, Lily once again charged at Orpus at high speed. Learning from his previous mistake, he no longer underestimates Lily and decides to fight seriously.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* In a few seconds, Lily and Orpus exchanged dozens of attacks without stopping. Despite only using his own body, Orpus somehow manages to parry Lily's daggers. After fighting for a while and creating a total mess in the surrounding, they hear a crunching beside them.

*Crunch* *Crunch* *Crunch* At this moment, everyone realized two little girls were sitting on top of a flying pillow leisurely.

"*Crunch* *Crunch* Mira, did you push the pause button again?" asked Anna while eating something from the plastic bag.

Mira only shakes her head in silence before drinking a cup of tea.

"Okay. Ahh… Big sis Lily! Big sis Lily!!" called Anna excitedly.

Seeing Anna and Mira, Lily only tilted her head in confusion but was still in a battle stance.

"Anna, why are you here?" asked Lily.

During her visit to Sunset City, Anna and Lily become closer even after their hostile first meeting. The homunculus girl is curious about Anna. She finds the black-haired little monster is a genuinely unique creature.

She feels Anna is the most genius and the dumbest person at the same time. With this characteristic, Lily couldn't help but be attracted to her and wanted to dissect the small little head girl.

"Anna is searching for Fluffy Rabbit. Did Big sis Lily see any Fluffy Rabbit around here?" asked Anna.

"Fluffy Rabbit? Is it about the invisible Moon Rabbit?" asked Lily.

Unlike others, Lily could understand Anna's words with a small clue. She could even talk to Anna better than Angus and Jayna.

"Yup.. Yup.. Big sis Lily is smart. Unlike those useless dumb uncles. Right, Mira?" asked Anna.

Mira nodded in silence before noticing her tea was empty. Suddenly, Darren appeared beside Mira and poured tea into the cup before disappearing again.

While Lily and Anna are talking, the Mad Monk Orpus slowly steps back and tries to not get noticed. Currently, he is totally covered in sweat with a pale face.

'Fuck! Fuck!! Fuck!! I am going to die?! I am going to die!! O.. Namu da bidu…' thought Orpus inwardly while chanting a prayer scripture.

Unfortunately, the other Nergals didn't know the danger and thought this was an opportunity to attack Lily. Some of them decide to attack Lily and the two girls using a large-scale attack.

*Splat* Still, these attack never comes since all the soldiers that are trying to attack suddenly explode into a bloody paste. They didn't even know how they died or were hit. This scene makes all the Nergals get cold sweat.

"Are they also part of the Heart kingdom?!" asked one of the Nergal.

"No way.. I didn't sign up for this shit!!" said another soldier in panic

Like a chain reaction, all the Nergals slowly get demoralized and turn into mass panic.

Hearing all the wailed screams, "Noisy." said Mira shortly.

*Splattt* Suddenly, all the panicked Nergal's elite soldiers exploded into meat paste at the same time. Be it fourth-grade soldiers or fifth-grade leaders, all of them suddenly become bloody corpses.

The entire battleground turned into silence. The only survivor could only hear the windy sound of Humnia Grassland.

Both Nergal and the Heart kingdom army were surprised at this unbelievable scene. Hundreds of elite soldiers are suddenly turned into meat paste in the blink of an eye.

This kind of attack is already in the realm of seventh grade or more. The only people that are still calm are only Anna, Mira, Lily, and the hidden Darren. Even the Duke and Duchess in the air stopped fighting at this moment.

While everyone was still in shock, "What?!! Fluffy bubbles bursted already?! No! Big Sis Lily, Fluffy Bubbles are Anna's. Now, what are Anna and Mira supposed to search for?" asked Anna in a sad tone.

"Hmm?? I just killed a few of them. I don't know if there is more out there or nearby. I believe there are some of them nearby. Their hiding ability is quite unique." said Lily expressionlessly after blinking for a few seconds.

Lily calculates various scenarios in split seconds and finds she can't win against Mira. The only best way for her to survive without getting harmed is by cooperating with Anna and not showing any hostile movement.

"Ahh… That's right. Big sis Lily is smart. Mira, let's go!! We must catch Fluffy Bubbles." said Anna.

Mira didn't move and was still staring at Lily intently.

"Darren." called Mira shortly.

"Yes, My lady?" replied Darren respectfully.

Mira points at Lily before tilting her head.

"Ahh.. How could Anna forget?! Mira, this is Big sis Lily. Big sis Lily is super duper smart and kind. Big sis Lily likes to give Anna meat and make delicious meat for Anna." said Anna excitedly.

"Master, I believe she is what we call a miracle." chimed Darren shortly.

"Hmm??" replied Mira while still tilting her head.

Suddenly, Mira grabbed something in the air. *Whooshh* At this moment, Lily could find the familiar rounded marble in Mira's hand. Out of instinct, she tried to charge at Mira, but she found out her body could not move.

'This is.. restriction spell? No, the time is stopping.' thought Lily as she noticed no one besides Mira, Anna, or Darren was moving.

Still, she didn't care about it and kept focusing on Mira with hostile intentions. Although she knows she could die, she still needs to take back the red marble in Mira's hand.

She may no longer get orders from her father, Benjamin, to protect it. However, she still has some sentimental feelings toward it. Unlike the thing in Turtle Ate's hand, the one in Mira's hand is the true Philosopher's stone from Benjamin that she protected for a thousand years.

"Your. Heart." said Mira shortly before the red marble in her hand disappeared.

Suddenly, Lily finds something inside her body. She feels free from the shackle and capable of sensing the surroundings more clearly. If before she was like looking through a small hole, now she is looking through everything without obstruction.

At the same time, time is moving again like usual. Lily ignores the others and keeps inspecting her body.

"This…" said Lily while looking at her hand and body.

"Woaahh… Big sis Lily becomes more alive. How did Mira do that? Can Anna also do it?" asked Anna excitedly.

"Impossible." said Mira shortly.

"Hmm… Why??" asked Anna.

"Dumb." replied Mira bluntly.

"Ehhh… Anna is not stupid. Anna is super duper smart. But Mira is smarter. Ahh… Mira could teach Anna. Mira must teach Anna." said Anna.

Mira nodded silently again.

"Alright, let's go back and start teaching Anna. Bye.. Bye… Big sis Lily. Wissy! Wissy!!" replied Anna before the two girls disappeared, leaving the bloody scene in the surrounding.

While the little troublemaker disappears, Lily grabs her hands a few times before waving her hand. The restricted Blood Terror disappears, turning into a tiny scroll and landing in Lily's hand.

Seeing Lily's move, all the surviving soldiers wake up from their shock and regroup with their side. The Duke and Duchess also stop fighting and land on the ground. The Nergal know they have already lost in this battle. From hundreds of high-grade soldiers, only a few of them remain.

The only surviving ones are the ones with unyielding will and fifth-grade-above combatants. In contrast, Heart Kingdom's high-grade soldiers are still intact, with only low casualties from the previous fight.

Noticing that they are completely outnumbered, the Duchess and Duke are completely in distress. Just as they want to call for a retreat, two figures come to their side in a flash. These two are none other than Jade and King Andvari.

After Anna and Mira leave, they keep track of these troublemakers while fighting. When they find Mira obliterating all the Nergals' high-grade soldiers, they know this battle is over.

Although Nergal still had thousands of troops in the back, they couldn't be compared to the high-grade soldiers. These thousands of troops will become nothing when facing Heart's high-grade army.

"You lose, Andvari." said Jade in a mocking tone.

"Tch… You got lucky this time." said King Andvari in anger.

"What the hell are all of you standing there for? Did you wait for them to completely annihilate us? Everyone, retreat now!!" shouted King Andvari.
