Chapter 531 Changing Weather
Although Angus lets Anna be, he also understands the little troublemaker’s perspective. For Anna, be it those ants or those groups of people is the same. From an ordinary human point of view, this way of thinking is disconcerting and extreme.
But, Angus could understand why Anna was thinking like that. Since Anna became a monster-minded person, her way of thinking is slowly changing. For her, other weak people are the same as ants. No matter what they do, it will never affect her.
The worst thing that could only happen to her is getting annoyed, like getting a bug bite. As Anna is quite simple-minded, she just decides that weak people are the same as ants. She will only recognize a person if they reach a certain threshold, like being a sixth-grade combatant.
“Hm.. Maybe this is why she never calls sixth-grade combatants as bubbles.’ thought Angus inwardly while walking.
‘Well, let’s not think about this anymore. It seems that the little thief is quite greedy.’ thought Angus while glancing in a particular direction.
After the other group of people scatters away, the hideous thief decides to return rather than escape. At first, Angus thought the thief only wanted to check his pursuit. But he didn’t expect the thief to keep following them.
The thief hides with many magic tools but can still be detected by Angus and Darren. As the old vampire ancestor, only a few things in this world could hide from his eyes. On the other hand, Angus’ [Mana Echolocation] is a truly broken skill for detection.
As long as he is not inside a place with huge space or mana disturbance, he can practically detect anyone in great detail.
After a while, Anna finishes her snack and hops into Mira’s flying pillow before wandering again. This time Aunt Extalia tried to coerce Anna with another delicious food. But, the little monster only shut her ear as if she tried not to hear Aunt Extalia’s words.
Seeing Anna’s cute and silly attitude, Aunt Extalia and Jayna’s maternal instincts worked out. The two women decide to let Anna be as they are not in a hurry to go back. Aunt Extalia knows Eric needs a few days to a week to finish his task.
Therefore, they decide to take it easy and enjoy the surrounding nature. Since the place is rich in mana, vegetation also grows rapidly. Some of the trees even mutated into beasts or monsters.
If this place is not passed by high-grade combatants daily, this place may become one of the monster habitats. One of the characteristics of a monster habitat is the dense mana or miasma in the area.
Since miasma is a corrupted mana, it will not be long before the mana turns into the miasma and affects all the living beings in the area.
A few days passed by as Angus’s group traveled in the wilderness. During these few days, Angus let Anna play around with Mira in the surroundings. They had already lost count of how many times the little troublemaker attracted many groups of monsters and beasts to them.
Most of these monsters and beasts get pranked by the naughty girl. Then, they charge at the two girls as Anna and Mira run away with the Flying Pillow while laughing. Unfortunately, all these beasts and monsters die under Darren’s hands.
The three Heart’s high nobles didn’t even need to pick up their weapon. During these few days, they also meet with a few groups of travelers. Most of the time, they ignore each other. Fortunately, the naughty Anna didn’t make trouble with all these travelers.
Some travelers even deliberately avoid their group. As Anna wants to wander again with Mira, the group notices familiar people approaching them. Soon, they find the Altras group, which is supposed to be their guide wearing rough clothes made of beast skin and leaves.
“Ahh… Mr. Baldy Pervert!! Mira, we need to get away!! Wait… Big sis said we could burst pervert. Did we need to burst them first or run first?” said Anna to herself.
“Err.. T-This…” said Elder Kelraz.
“Anna, you don’t need to burst them and why did you call him Baldy Pervert?” said Angus.
Seeing their rough clothes, they know these Altras are also one of the victims of their stalking thief. But, it is still too revealing or improper to be called a pervert.
“During the party, this Baldy Pervert keeps making weird smiles while looking at female bubbles like that scaled bubble. So, Anna thought Baldy Pervert was also Pervert. Did Anna do thought it wrong?” asked Anna innocently.
‘Okay. At this point, I don’t know if she is brilliant or just likes playing around with everyone.’ thought Angus.
During the party, he knows Elder Kelraz is not far away from them. Still, it needs a really observant person to notice this with all the crowd while enjoying the party.
Although Anna is quite observant and has excellent insight, she also gets distracted easily. Therefore, Angus didn’t expect Anna to notice this.
“Nope. You are not wrong. He is really a pervert but also a different kind of pervert. I believe they call people like him lecherous people. You need to be careful of them. You can only beat these people to death if they try to touch you.” lectured Angus sternly while Anna nodded.
Anna unusually listens and absorbs all of Angus’ words without complaining or ignoring them.
“Err… This…” said Elder Kelraz as he tried to defend himself.
Before the Elder continued, “Master Kelraz, correct?” cut Aunt Extalia.
“I believe we no longer need your guide.” said Aunt Extalia in a cold tone.
After hearing Anna’s words, Aunt Extalia and Jayna feel disgusted at the old Altras. They don’t want this lecherous old man to get near them anymore. Who knows what he would do behind their back if they let him in their group.
“Err.. I.. I am sorry. But, I don’t think…” said Elder Kelraz trying to reason.
At this moment, Mira suddenly called Darren.
“Darren.” called Mira coldly.
Everyone immediately feels cold as all the vegetation in the surrounding turns into a frozen solid. It is as if the whole world is shivering from Mira’s cold tone. The next moment, Darren and Elder Kelraz’s group suddenly disappear.
A few seconds later, Darren appeared near them while holding a nice fur cloak.
“It seems the weather has become quite chilly. Would you like to change your clothes, My Lady?” asked Darren with his usual warm smile.
Mira didn’t reply, only gave the usual silent nod.
“I think we should take a break while changing our clothes. Did any of you bring clothes for cold weather?” asked Darren.
“Don’t worry, we prepare many clothes for all kinds of weather, ” replied Aunt Extalia respectfully.
“Good. I think it will be quite snowy for the next few days.” said Darren as he began to create a tent.
“Snow?? Angus, is it that cold white thing?” asked Anna.
“Yup. It is. Let’s go. You also need to change your clothes.” said Angus.
No one dared to comment about the sudden change in the surroundings and decided to ignore it. They know Mira is strong, but they didn’t expect to change the bright sun into chilly cold weather with only her emotion.
Everyone knows the taciturn silver-haired girl is furious at Kelraz. Somehow, her anger even makes the whole of Nivere Island shiver in fear.
‘No wonder I couldn’t feel anything about her. Her power is too high for me to sense. I bet she is as strong as the Gods in the book or probably stronger.’ thought Angus as he held Anna into the tent.
After changing their clothes, they find snow falling from the sky.
“Angus, Big sis… the cold white thing fell from the sky.” said Anna excitedly while wearing thick clothes.
The little girl runs around the snowy ground, trying to eat the falling snow. Fortunately, she remembers Jayna’s lecture last time to not eat the snow on the ground.
“Mira.. Mira… Look!! Anna made a cold ball!!” called Anna.
Mira, wearing thick clothes, lay on her flying pillow, looking at the snowball in Anna’s hand. Suddenly, the snowball flies from Anna’s hand and joins with the surrounding snow to become a giant snowball.
“Woahhh… It’s like big candy.” exclaimed Anna.
Then, Anna and Mira played with the snow while the others did their things. Since they know they will not travel too far today, they decide to take this time to train on their own. Seeing the cold and snowy weather, Angus thought of a few new exercises for Jayna.
In the meantime, Aunt Extalia decides to train her sword while running around on the snowy ground far from them. Although it is only ordinary running, she blurs all over the area. Sometimes she even produces airwaves and sonicboom.
Fortunately, Darren and Angus are good at rune enchantment to contain this strong sonicboom. Otherwise, the whole area will be destroyed, disrupting Anna and Mira’s play.
On the other hand, a particular thief who is lurking nearby keeps shivering from the cold temperature while looking at the whole group.
Angus and the others may not realize the terrifying aura Mira produces as she deliberately does not let them feel it. Still, for the surrounding living being, it is like getting hit by the coldest blizzard.
