I Just want a Peaceful life

‘Such a strength!! She is not a pure seventh-grade magician?!!’ thought Duchess Amberblaze.

“*Yawn* Urgh… Huh?? Why is it so dark?” yawned Alder while slowly coming out from the destroyed cave wall unscathed.

“Urghh… Ohh… Hey, Nabe. Did you miss me, honey.” flirted Alder while stretching a little bit.

Despite getting kicked with enough power to make any seventh-grade bleed, Alder’s body has no wound or scratch.

“Who is missing you, stupid lizard?!!” retorted Nabe.

While the two powerful figures have their romantic comedy, everyone in the room is breathless and trembling in front of Alder’s presence.

“Such.. a dense miasma!! He is a monster overlord. No… He should be stronger than that level.” muttered the Duchess.

Currently, the Duchess wants to get as far as possible from the lizardman in front of her.

“Hmm… Why did all of them look like that? Wait for a second… This place is a dungeon. Hahaha… No wonder they look like a frightened frog.” laughed Alder.

“Don’t laugh, stupid lizard! You are frightening my future client!!” rebuked Nabe.

“Hahaha… Sorry about that. Anyway, what is going on here? I am certain this dungeon just formed. Yet, the miasma is too thick and rapidly increasing.” said Alder with an unusually serious tone.

“Long story short, little Anna wreaked havoc and broke many cave walls while slaughtering any monster on her path. Somehow the dungeon transformation is accelerated many times and creates many weird phenomena.” explained Nabe.

“Accelerate the dungeon transformation?? Is that even possible?” asked Alder in surprise.

“I also don’t know it is possible until Anna goes into outrage and breaks many walls.” replied Nabe truthfully.

“Hmm… Did a weird or strange monster start to appear?” asked Alder.

“Yeah… What are they? I find them quite weird and unnatural. If I do not seal this area, they may also appear here.” said Nabe.

“That’s bad. We need to stop that little girl from breaking things before something dangerous appears.” said Alder.

“Alder, what did you mean? Just what are these monsters?” asked Nabe as she noticed Alder unusually having a serious expression.

“I don’t know the real name of these weird monsters. I called it Dungeon Sweeper. As you know, dungeons are a very complex natural ecosystem. It will do anything to keep the whole ecosystem in balance.”

“If the monsters are too overloaded, it will send it outside and create a monster outbreak. If there is too little monster, it will thicken the miasma in the area and accelerate the growth and monster spawn.”

“In some ways, the dungeons have a lot of complex systems to keep their ecosystem balanced. The problem is this system is heavily reliant on the dungeon structure like the wall. If something happens to the dungeon wall, it will take drastic action.” explained Alder.

“Which is created this dungeon sweeper like now, correct?” chimed Nabe.

“Yes. If it is only an ordinary dungeon sweeper, it is easy to deal with as it is just a weird newborn monster without fighting experience around the fifth grade at best. But, this is sort of a warning from the dungeon.” said Alder.

“Warning?” asked Nabe confusedly.

“Yes. The Dungeon Sweeper is not an ordinary monster. They only have one job to eliminate the one that destroys the dungeon structure.”

“They are created based on the one that destroys the dungeon structure. At the later stage, it will become a manifestation of the person itself.” explained Alder.

“You can’t mean??” as Nabe started to understand the situation.

“Yeah. When I say manifestation, it means a copy of the person. Hell, I almost died when I when fight my own manifestation last time.” explained Alder.

“Anyway, I believe you don’t want to fight the mindless little monster, right?” added Alder.

“Duchess Amberblaze, I am sorry. I think we need to postpone our deal for later. We need to stop little Anna before it is too late.” said Nabe as she created two Ruby Champions to guard the area.

“If what you said is true, then we must stop that little troublemaker now. From all the people I know, she is the last person I want to fight.” replied the Duchess.

Then, the three people immediately depart into one of the cave paths leaving the injured Yawan and the Seven Faces leader with two Ruby Champions.

“Tylie, this is our chance. Let’s escape now.” whispered a female Altras beside Tylie while pretending to sleep.

“Fear… No, Ulva. If you want to escape, just go. I will stay here waiting for the Red Queen and the Heart Kingdom’s Duchess.” replied Tylie.

“Tylie, what are you talking about?!!” replied Ulva.

Tylie didn’t reply and flexed her muscle near her missing arms. In a moment, two arms regenerated from the wound like normal.

​ “T-That’s… How? Aren’t you couldn’t use any shapeshift and how could you regenerate your true body?” asked Ulva in surprise and came out from her sleeping act.

“That Nabe did something to our body. It makes us impervious to the dungeon’s pressure and capable of healing our true body.” said another female Altras beside them.

“W-What did you mean, Carlyn… I mean Sad?” asked Ulva.

“It’s okay. We are no longer the Seven Faces. While Nabe heals our injuries, she also puts something into our bodies.”

“I don’t know what it is, but I am certain she could easily track our whereabouts. It is better to wait for them than fight back.” said Carlyn in a gloomy tone.

“Did you say we should give up and wait to become someone’s plaything?!! I rather die than become someone’s else slave.” retorted Ulva.

“That’s the thing, Fear.. I mean Ulva. We are no longer capable of dying on our own.” said another female Altras near them.

“What did you mean, Nissa?” asked Ulva towards her last companion.

“Why did you think I would stay silent up till now and not comment anything on Nabe or that Duchess??” asked the contempt mask leader Nissa

“Hmm??” asked Ulva.

“Didn’t I already say this to everyone before? If something is wrong, I will explode myself or sacrifice myself to let you all escape.” said Nissa.

“During the past hour, I tried to explode myself many times to create an opportunity for Tylie. As you can see, I am still alive and feeling this horrible pain from forcefully trying to explode my core.

“As much as I hate it, Nabe is right. Without real power, we couldn’t do anything, even die.” said Nissa as tears came down from her eyes.

Seeing the crying Nissa, Ulva shut her mouth and stayed silent like her other companion. She finally accepts her fate and hopes the Heart Kingdom is better than the rotten Nirvas.

Among her companions, she knows Nissa is the most strong-willed one. This is also why she is so blunt and has a sharp tongue. She always speaks what is in her mind without the worry of any repercussions.

Everyone knows that Nissa didn’t even cry or scream when her true body was tortured.

Yet, Ulva witnesses the strong-willed Nissa cry in disorder and succumb to Nabe without the Red Queen doing anything. This scene is too shocking for the female Altras Ulva.

“Carlyn, Nabe said she will give five Altras to Heart Kingdom. But there are only four of us here. Who do you think is the fifth one?” asked Tylie, trying to change the mood.𝚘𝗏𝓵xt.𝑐𝒪𝑀

“Nabe intends to make us experience things outside. So, I doubt that old woman fits her criteria. I am not sure about her history. But, no ordinary person could stay as Honor Valley’s caretaker for years.” said Carlyn.

“The only one left is Lilith. Not only is she the youngest among us, but she is also the strongest. Based on her talent, she is the best among us. The only thing that she lacks is resources and experience to grow.” added Carlyn.

“Lilith, huh? I doubt this will be good for her, even if she had no choice in the first place. Sometimes, she is too prideful for her own good.” replied Tylie.

“Haha.. Very.. Arghh!!” said Yawan before screaming in pain.

Yawan suddenly feels [Ruby Curse] active and pain all over his body before he can finish his sentence.

“Arrgh!! T-That Bitc… ARGGHH!! Stop!! Make it.. stop!!” screamed Yawan as his whole body trembled from the pain and cried in a mess.

He never gets used to the pain as it gives a new sensation of pain every time [Ruby Curse] is active. Looking at the Yawan’s agony, the four female Altras could only smile weakly and shake their head.

In the meantime, Angus and Jayna grow more worried as they explore the dungeon. They keep finding monsters that are similar to Anna’s terrible drawing. They didn’t know if something had happened to Anna or if this monster was Anna’s creation.

But they know it will not end well. From all of Anna’s terrible drawings, few look proper pictures and look alive. However, this drawing brings different feelings, like a true monster.

Unlike the other animal drawings, these monster drawings look perfect, real, and give a goosebump. Even though it is only a simple drawing, they could feel these monsters are powerful and terrifying.

They don’t know if these monsters will appear, but they hope they didn’t meet these kinds of monsters.

Still, finding Anna in this complex moving dungeon is like searching for a needle in a pile of haystacks that get scrambled. On the other hand, they keep finding the knights’ embassy until only a few are missing.
