I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

"But, one thing certain is we should never stay in this accursed land." said the old Patimura.

"L-Leader, you are not serious, right? The Everwhite is our home. Your home!!" said Respected Ones.

'Hmm… It seems this bunch of fools still couldn't realize their situation.' thought King Leon inwardly.

During Angus' breakthrough, King Leon and the old Patimura decide to apprehend all the guardians and the Respected Ones. It turns out the ones called the Respected Ones are those old retired veterans among the guardians.

Most of these people are already drunk with power and authority. They even forget about their initial duty and oath. For King Leon and old Patimura, these people are just leeches or malignant cancer. These people are the ones that King Leon hates the most.

If he found these people in his government, King Leon would execute them on the spot without caring about their ranking or position. This is the iron rule that gives him the title of cold-blooded king.

'Still, I didn't expect these people to recognize the old man as their leader. Maybe it is because of that Flokes.' thought King Leon inwardly.

"*SIGH* Yes, Everwhite is indeed my home. But all of that is in the past. The home full of laughter and warm smiles is no more. The only things left are a cold hall and emptiness." said old Patimura melancholically.

 Hearing this, everyone's mood turns somber. Although most people here are from the new generation that has never experienced the last civil war, they are still familiar with it.

It could be said that Everwhite and Guardian are the ones that received the most damage during the last civil war, especially the Royal Archduke Dipo family.

"Kekeke… Forgive this old man's rambling. Seeing many familiar faces today makes this old man reminiscing about the past. Anyway, what I said before is not wrong either. Even without the danger of Gram, the Everwhite region is too scarce of resources to develop and live."

"We should use this chance to move from this accursed land. Besides, all of you already heard what the Ancient Behemoth can do. Staying here is just seeking death." said the old Patimura.

"Leader… *Sigh* Your Excellency, could you lend some men to help move the resident. I am afraid we are too short on personnel to move the whole resident out of the Everwhite." said Respected Flokes.

Hearing this, some of the Respected Ones still couldn't accept the decision, but they also couldn't do anything. Although they don't know if the danger of Ancient Behemoth is real or not, King Leon's army is still ready to slaughter them anytime here.

"Duke Jacob, I leave this matter to you." said King Leon.

"As you wish, Your Highness." replied Duke Jacob.

After that, they talk about the details of the evacuation and immigration while being supervised by King Leon and old Patimura. Seeing the meeting could go on without his presence, the old Patimura decided to leave the meeting tent first.

"Thanks for your word, old man." said King Leon while following Patimura outside.

"I just stated the fact. Besides, with the weakened seal, this place will be filled with Gram in no time." said the old Patimura.

"Hm?" asked King Leon in confusion.

"If I am not wrong, that young lad is freeing the phoenix souls in this land. Those Phoenix are actually one of the key barriers to lessening the Gram spawn in the area. I am unsure how often my ancestors strengthened the barrier with those poor women. But it was never the real solution."

"As far as I know, this place has been filled with Gram since ancient times. It traced even far before my ancestor's rule and staying in this place. Personally, I don't think it is good to go against nature." said Patimura.

"Agreed. In fact, I don't mind if these places turned into monster habitats long ago. It may even become a good income for adventurers." said King Leon.

"Hmph!! Look at you… The useless weak boy finally turned into a proper king." said Patimura.

"Well, I just got some enlightenment recently." said King Leon cryptically.

*Rain Falling Down* *Rain Falling Down* At this moment, the twin Gemini approaches King Leon while chanting the same song repeatedly.

Seeing the Twin Gemini, "Tch… Where did you go all this time?!!" rebuked King Leon.

The Twin Gemini stops singing and looks at King Leon momentarily before singing again while dancing around King Leon. *Rain Falling Down* *Rain Falling Down*

"Kehehehe…. It seems you still have a habit of picking up strange things." said the old Patimura.

"Shut up, old man." said King Leon helplessly.

Meanwhile, Angus and his family decide to return to their own tent.

Before entering the tent, "Anna, why don't you play with Brigida or Lilith first." said Angus, trying to get the clingy girl away.

"Oh… Okay. Anna will not disturb Daddy and Mommy's mating." said Anna loudly.

"Hussh!! Anna!!" exclaimed Jayna while blushing.

Then, Anna jumps down from Jayna's arm and makes a loud fail whistle. *PFTT* *PPIIIIKK* A moment later, a loud piercing bird sound could be heard from the stormy area in the distance. A Gram with the shape of an icebird comes out from the center of the Everwhite Basin.

Through the wind, it generated strong freezing gusts of cold wind. Such a conspicuous Gram was immediately noticed by all the sentry guards nearby.

"That's… fifth-grade monster!!" exclaimed the sentry guards nearby.

"Stand down, everyone. That's Anna's… pet." said Angus through a large-scale telepathy spell.

"Angus, it is..." said Jayna from the side.

"It's fine. It seems to be fond of Anna." said Angus.

Hearing Angus' notice, the sentry guard captain decides to believe his words and give a standby order. Soon, the icebird flies fast and arrives above Angus' group. Then, it lands in front of Anna, while Anna immediately clings to it.

"Pretty Bird!! Pretty Bird!!" exclaimed Anna happily.

"Errr… Fine. Brigida, Lilith, make sure you prevent Anna from creating a mess." said Angus before dragging Jayna to their own tent.

After his breakthrough into fourth grade, his mind and body were uncontrollable. Combined with the intense effect from [Allegiance] bond with Jayna, he feels he will have the urge to make love with his beloved girl anytime.

Furthermore, he is still irritated from being questioned and rebuked by many foolish old men. Angus is not oblivious and knows precisely what kind of people they are.

Before entering the Everwhite Frozen Lake, he observed every important person in Everwhite, including the Respected Ones.

Entering their private tent, Angus and Jayna embrace their love together. After a few hours of intense exercise, they enter Angus' battle system space. Inside the space, Angus plans to use [Analyze] the second threshold and slowly calibrate his body.

For the next few hours, Jayna could see Angus' body seemed to move on its own like a mass of unshaped organisms. It is similar to the scene in which the Altras race uses their [Shapeshift] technique.

Since Angus needs to be in perfect body control as soon as possible, he decides to use [Analyze] to recalibrate his body. Although he couldn't achieve excellent body control like his previous state, he could at least have good body control to not destroy stuff.

It is just enough to do the forging process. Fortunately, his mana control is not reduced or going haywire. Instead, his mana control is increased by leaps and bounds. He could feel his connection with his mana ten times better.

If he wanted, he could cast many large-scale spells at once effortlessly. All of this is the benefit of his fourth-grade mana core. As a person with perfect body control obsession, Angus also designed his core for better mana control.

Furthermore, he also confirmed he could hide his mana and aura more easily. This is one of the features that his mana core has. Although he has not tested it, he knows he could hide his aura and mana even from the sixth-grade combatant.

"URGGHH!!" groaned Angus loudly.

However, body calibration is a disadvantage. Since it is a forceful method, his body will also receive immense pain. Even now, Angus feels like his body is crumbling apart.

As he needed to feel his body change, he also couldn't numb his body receptors, which increased the pain. Just as he couldn't hold the pain, Angus suddenly felt a warm feeling covering his transformed body.

"It's okay. Angus, I am here." said Jayna softly while covering Angus with warm fire.

At once, his body feels soaked inside a lurk of warm water. All the pain is diminished, but his receptor is not numbed.

It is a magical sensation that even his current [Analyze] couldn't comprehend. Brushing any unnecessary thought, Angus went back to focusing on calibrating his body. After a few hours of grueling fight, Angus finally reached good body control.

Naked, full of sweat, and exhausted, Angus looks at Jayna with passionate eyes. His fatigue and numbed body slowly disappear thanks to his high soul reserve and vitality. In fact, Angus' vitality is the one that increases the most after breakthroughs.

During his calibration, he could feel his body become more sturdy than before. He feels like he couldn't get injured even after being shot by a gun in his previous life.
