I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE



*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* The continuous gunshot sound is heard from the top of Giant Porky's head while the ground below turns into a huge blazing area. During this time, Angus kept accurately hitting all the nearby power source points.

The invisible rune barrier on the ground blinks more often than before. Some parts of the area completely reveal the bluish runic barrier for a few seconds. Unfortunately, this kind of bombardment attack couldn't be done for a long time.

*Bang* *Bang* *click* *Beep* *Beep* The machine gun in Anna's hand suddenly stopped working while releasing a beeping warning sound.

Anna was startled at this situation and hit the gun lightly a few times before throwing it down below. *BOOOOM* The moment it touched the ground, it turned into a huge explosion.

"Wooohh…. Daddy, the gun broke and fell down." said Anna innocently.

'More like you broke it and threw it away.' grumbled Angus inwardly.

However, Angus still didn't worry and already expected such a situation. He even gives Anna another similar automatic magic gun. He knows his magic gun is still imperfect, especially the automatic one.

If used continuously without a break, it will easily overheat and explode a moment later. Although Angus already improves some of the runes and enchantment, it is still insufficient to offset the heat it generates.

The only way to solve this problem is by using a strong cooling material. Unfortunately, such a material is rare and hardly found in nature.

After getting another automatic magic gun, Anna once again shoots down below while closing her eyes and cursing around about bubbles and grass things. On the other hand, Jayna already stopped firing [Phoenix Rain].

The consumption of [Phoenix Rain] is too much, even with Angus' mana supply. It is better to use another attack. However, she never intends to use [Phoenix Rain] to damage the barrier.

Jayna's blue eyes turn into sharp fiery eyes along with her temperament. For a moment, Angus even feels Jayna is covered in red, which makes her more beautiful in his eyes.

Jayna waves her hand and manipulates all the fire elementals below. She uses the [Firecast] technique. The fire elemental concentrated at one point before slowly turning into a humongous fiery bird [Firecast - Phoenix Blaze].

*PIIIKK* a sharp bird cry sounding the whole area before turning the surrounding area into a blaze. The firebird helps Angus and the others raze the ground on a larger scale. In a few moments, all the bluish barriers become visible on the ground.

This shows their method is effective. With the barrier rune becoming visible, Angus could easily target more power source points without pinpointing them first. His firing rate is also faster than before. He just needs to worry about hitting the target.

Despite his continued successful hit, firing an invisible small power source point from a few kilometers in the air is a challenging task. Not only does he need to worry about the harsh wind from Porky's movement, but he also needs to worry about a slight deviation angle difference.

This large movement was also noticed by many dwarves in the surrounding area, especially the dwarves' guards patrolling the area. As soon as they see the visible bluish barrier, they know what Angus and the others plan to do.

The lockdown barrier is very sophisticated. Under normal circumstances, it will not reveal itself. Even Angus' previous large attack couldn't reveal itself. It will reveal itself only by destroying the power source point and receiving a significant direct attack.

"They are trying to break the barrier!! Hurry, stop them!!" shouted the nearby dwarf captain.

With the help of their armor, all the surrounding dwarves' guards immediately take off into the air to pursue Angus. Unfortunately, Porky is not staying idle either. The giant flying pig is also moving along in the air with the help of its massive wing.

Its speed is incomparable to the flying dwarves. Unless it is the sixth-grade dwarves, none of these dwarves could catch up to the giant pig. Even then, Angus is ready to shoot down any approaching dwarves like before.

Noticing they couldn't stop and catch Angus anytime soon, the dwarves decided to take care of the firebird first. They know the firebird is the one that puts a lot of burden on the barrier.

"Shoot it down!!" ordered the nearby dwarf captain.

Various enchanted ballista and magic cannons suddenly appeared from the surrounding dwarf base. Then, they start to rain down the giant firebird.

*BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM* *PIIKK* A sharp cry of birds heard through the area. The dwarves are surprised that their prideful magic cannon and enchanted ballista are ineffective against the giant firebird.

Some perceptive dwarves notice the firebird could magically regenerate and form herself as if it is inextinguishable fire. The surrounding blazing fire also helps it to restore itself.

*PIIIKK* *BOOOOM* Before the dwarves could shoot another attack, the giant firebird released a burst of fire toward the magic cannons and defensive air weapons nearby. This set up another strong explosion in the surrounding area.

"Water!! Use water-based elemental attack!!" shouted some of the experienced dwarves.

Hearing the surrounding dwarves start to throw various water attacks from their magic tools and weapon enchantment. Few quick-witted ones even open the nearby water hydrant that is used in case of a big fire accident. Seeing this, Jayna gives contempt toward the dwarves below.

"Hmph… Stupid dwarves, did you think my fire could be extinguished by such lousy water?!" said Jayna pridefully.

Angus clearly could hear the Fire Phoenix's prideful tone in her. Despite this, he felt no remorse towards her and felt Jayna was more adorable. He couldn't help but shake his head and focus on hitting the power source point.

*Piiiikk* To everyone's surprise, the water attack is not weakening the firebird but only making it stronger and burning wildly. The majority of people only know fire can be extinguished with water.

However, they don't know water also contains many things inside of it, such as oxygen which makes fire burning more. Furthermore, Jayna's firebird also includes a trace of [Hellfire], which makes it more destructive and hotter than it looks.

Ordinary fire will only evaporate when it touches its flame, leaving only oxygen to burn it more. Unless a water attack from water elemental experts contains pure water elementals, it will be hard to extinguish Jayna's fire.

Unfortunately, most dwarves have an affinity for fire and earth elemental. They are a race with a meager chance to master water elemental. This only makes the dwarves helpless to stop the giant firebird.

Now, they could only try to bring the near-immortal firebird through brute force. While attacking before, they notice the firebird is stagnated when forming itself. They believe they can extinguish it if they manage to damage it enough.

As the dwarves, they also know such an elemental creature needs to be supplied with a lot of fire elemental. Therefore, they need to exhaust all its fire elementals. Still, this is a difficult move.

The firebird not only could absorb the surrounding fire to regenerate, but it also used the help of fire explosion from Anna's continued bombing attack, especially when the magic gun exploded. Its explosion is almost the same as third-fourth circle spells.

As the situation turns dire for the dwarves, Angus suddenly notices the visible bluish rune barrier and suddenly moves around.

"What the fuck?! It can also do that." said Angus in surprise.

"Fuck. What is fuck?" said Anna nearby after throwing down the beeping magic gun.

"Err.. That's.. Here, take this." said Angus before taking out another automatic magic gun to divert Anna's attention.

"Ohh... Yay!! Love you, Daddy." said Anna before returning to firing the magic gun.

On the other hand, Angus could feel a sharp piercing glare from Jayna on his side. He knows he screwed up by using bad words in front of Anna. Fortunately, Jayna knows it is not time to lecture her boyfriend and only give him a sharp deathly glare.

"Angus, what happened?" asked Jayna coldly.

"Ehem… The barrier power source point suddenly changed. All the destroyed invisible power source points are suddenly replaced with a new one in a new pattern and cover the damaged part." said Angus.

"Then, what should we do?" asked Jayna.

"We couldn't do anything but continue to hit the power source point. However, it may take a while if it could keep changing its pattern to cover the damaged part." said Angus.

"So, it is the battle of attrition." concluded Jayna.

"Yes, it is. But, I am more worried if the barrier has a more hidden mechanism like this later on." said Angus.

"Did you think we could manage it?" asked Jayna.

"Not sure. We could only try. But, we still have enough means to break the power source point. We are pretty loaded." said Angus with a smile.

"I see… Then, let me help create more fire." said Jayna before taking out a few metallic rune cards.

[3rd Circle - Fire Wyrm] [3rd Circle - Fire Serpent] [3rd Circle - Fire Blast] [3rd Circle - Titan Hand] [4th Circle - Inferno] A moment later, a series of spells is released from the rune card in Jayna's hand.
