I Just want a Peaceful life



A few minutes later, they finally see the assailant approaching them while wearing full metal armor.

"Stop him!!" ordered the knight captain.

Knowing the other party didn't stop even after seeing them, the knights decide to intercept him and take the battle far from the carriage. Just as some knights leave the carriage, the armored person suddenly throws something high in the air.

*Bang* The item suddenly exploded as soon as it reached above the carriage. Suddenly, a giant metal rod appeared in exchange for the previous item and fell straight to the carriage.

"Incoming!!" warned the knight captain.

*Swish* *BOOOM* In a split second, the metallic rod exploded in the air suddenly. Everyone could see Duchess Amberblaze was already above in the air behind the exploded metallic rod.

No one knows when she moved. Even the armored person was surprised at Duchess Amberblaze's fast movement and reaction. Not everyone could react appropriately to the sudden incoming attack from above.

Waking up from his stupor, the armored person starts to fight with the incoming knights. While everyone focuses on the armored person, Angus suddenly emerges from the carriage through the window and taps the ground.

*WHISSHH* A large magic circle appeared above the ground before dimly shining [3rd Circle - Ground Pulse]. *Rumble* *Rumble* An invisible pulse spread from the magic circle towards the surrounding ground a few times. At the same time, some muffled sounds could be heard from the ground.

"Watch your surroundings!! The enemy may come from anywhere." said Duchess Amberblaze while returning to the ground.

Hearing this, the elite knights immediately spread their senses and tried to detect any other ambusher. All this time, they rely on Angus to detect the enemy. They never expect the ambush to come from the ground and the air.

"[Teleport] Gotcha!!" said a gray-cloaked man who suddenly appeared before Angus.

Angus immediately reacts to attack the gray-cloaked man only to find the man crash a runic stone in his hand [Rune Spell - Void Zone]. A small magic circle covers both Angus and the cloaked person.

At this split second, Lizbet suddenly has another vision. The figure of Angus getting stabbed by spears occurs once again.

"G-Get away from there!!" shouted Lizbet in a panic.

Angus instantly felt his mana couldn't be used or dispersed whenever he tried to gather it. Still, it didn't stop him from countering the gray-cloaked person wielding the knife before him. *BANG* Not expecting a strong retaliation, the man was thrown a few meters away.

"I-Impossible!!" exclaimed the gray cloaked man.

Void Zone is a unique spell that prevents anyone from using mana inside of it. Unfortunately, Angus relies not only on mana and spells, which makes his plan to stab Angus useless. After forcing the gray-cloaked assassin back, Angus immediately moves away from the Void Zone circle.

As he wanted to move away, he noticed a metallic spearheading toward his head at a fast speed [Shroud of Devastation]. Since he is still inside the Void Zone, he couldn't detect this fast attack in the first place.

"What a joke... [Rodeo Maneuver]!!" said Angus with a mocked grin.

Just before the spear reaches Angus's head, his body flashes on the spot. *Clang* *Clang* *Clang* *Clang* A loud metal hitting sound was heard through the area along with a strong shockwave.

As the shockwave receded, everyone could see Angus unscathed and standing not far from his previous position. On the other hand, dozens of metallic spears fell down on Angus' last spot. This scene surprises everyone, especially Lizbet.

She knows Angus has already broken her prophecy at this moment. She is surprised, anxious, and excited that someone could break her prophecy.

"Is it there?" said Duchess Amberblaze before flashing into the red light.

Before anyone noticed, another strong shockwave erupted in the distance a few hundred meters away. On the other hand, the gray-robbed assassin is already cornered by the nearby knights getting beaten up.

*Clang* *Clang* *BOOOM* A strong shockwave erupted from both sides of the carriage. The two battle rampaging the whole area. One is the battle between armored guys and the knights, and the other is Duchess Amberblaze against the mysterious assailant in the distance.

For ordinary people, it is like witnessing the battle of God. Just feeling the shockwave aftermath in the air could give the body a strong shock.

Fortunately, the whole area is only a vast plain with some vegetation. Otherwise, there will be more casualties and destruction. The battle happens for a few minutes before everyone finds a massive greatsword rising high to the sky and swinging down.

*BOOOOOOM* Another strong shockwave occurred as Angus had already cast strong barrier spells to protect everyone from the aftermath. After the last big explosion, a flash of red light passes through the carriage towards the armored guy.

Noticing the approaching of the famous Crimson Flash, the armored guy decides to retreat as soon as possible. However, he is not a match for the Duchess' super speed.

Even any speed-oriented warrior will find it difficult to handle the Duchess's speed, much less the armored guy with his heavy armor.

*Bang* *Bang* *Sprutt* A few minutes later, the armored guy was already incapacitated by Duchess Amberblaze without mercy.I think you should take a look at

"Apprehend him and send someone to retrieve the corpses on the other side as soon as possible!! Also, secure the perimeter. I don't want any single mole trying to sneak on us again." ordered Duchess Amberblaze sternly.

She is already furious since someone is trying to assassinate Angus while on her watch. She finds this time, it is not an ordinary ambush but a big one.

Starts with the sixth-grade combatant, an unknown space elemental user, Void Zone rune stone, and a group of high-grade people led by a strong weapon artifact user.

This is not an ordinary group. Their combination can ruin any small kingdom. The Duchess finally knows the power of 2 million gold coins enticement.

"Duchess, did you know the assailant?" asked Angus.

"Nope. Judging by their clothes and equipment, they are not from here. It seems they are bounty hunters coming from outside the kingdom. We should proceed with plan B to avoid more trouble." said Duchess Amberblaze.

"Sure. I will contact Gil to send them away. I hear one of those things is stationed in a nearby major city." said Angus.

After finding the opportunity to talk, "B-Baron Victory." called Lizbet nervously.

Angus and Duchess Amberblaze do not say anything but look at the trace of a spear artifact not far from them.

"Duchess, I think she is the true seer. She has a good gift." said Angus.

"Are you sure? Isn't her prophecy wrong?" asked Duchess Amberblaze.

"Not really. She could predict that I would get stabbed by metallic spears, which was right if I didn't use my special power. Although it may not kill me, it will still fulfill the prophecy." said Angus.

"We could say her prophecy is true, but I am just too special." said Angus with pride.

"Wipe your smug, brat!! You are still too young to think you are invincible. Don't get this in your head." retorted Duchess Amberblaze.

Hearing the Duchess' usual nagging, "Yes, Mom." replied Angus leisurely before entering his own carriage.

"*Sigh* That brat. Alright, I will drop you off in the nearest major city. I will also send some words to His Majesty about your prophetic ability. As much as I hate to admit it, that brat is right. You have a gift and should not waste it." said Duchess Amberblaze.

"Daddy!!" called Anna while jumping to Angus' arm.

"Ooppss… Anna, what did I say about jumping around inside the carriage." said Angus.

"Hmm… Anna should not jump like a bunny? But Anna is not a bunny. Anna is Anna." replied Anna innocently.

"*Sigh* Forget about it. You guys okay?" asked Angus.

"Of course. Besides the strong shockwave near our carriage, we didn't feel anything besides the loud explosion sound." replied Jayna.

"Good. Still, this ambush is quite strong and surprising. It is well-planned. I wonder who is putting the bounty on me." said Angus solemnly.

"Did you really have no idea?" asked Jayna worriedly.

"Nope. Besides, those dwarves that we killed back then. I rarely have conflicts with others. Even then, those people were already gone or didn't have enough power to amass such a bounty." said Angus.

Two million gold coins is not a joke. With the rise in sales of Miasma Antidote, the Heart Kingdom gold coin became more valuable. Previously, a single gold coin was enough to feed a family for a month. Now, it can provide a family for another half month or more.

Heart gold coin is not just a money currency but also a real gold for those profiteers. With two million gold coins, it is estimated they could buy at least a small nation with its current value.

*SHIING* "Huh?? What was that?" asked Lizbet before looking at the other end of the road.

"Did you have another vision?" asked Duchess Amberblaze.

"Something big is coming. It's a huge metallic thing." said Lizbet with uncertainty.

Hearing this, Duchess Amberblaze knows Lizbet is genuinely gifted as a prophet and seer. She knows those big metallic things are their next travel transportation called Alkin.

'It seems Angus is right. It is not that she is not talented. But Angus is too abnormal that could change the Fate. Maybe King Leon is right. That boy is the key to our survival.' thought Duchess Amberblaze.
