I Just want a Peaceful life

“Yes. Did father want to see it?” asked Lily but still not taking out the item.

“No. You keep holding it. It’s better to be with you for now. Also, Lily…” said Benjamin before stopping.

“Yes, Father?” replied Lily with her usual expression.

After having an internal struggle for a moment, “Kill that turtle.” ordered Benjamin to Lily.

Hearing this, Lily looks surprised for a split second before smiling.

“Consider it done, Father.” replied Lily excitedly.

Seeing Lily’s reaction, Benjamin couldn’t help but have mixed feelings. He knows Lily is very eager when doing something related to fighting. Although he wants his daughter to have a nice peaceful life, the skeleton man will always support her precious daughter’s desire.

“May I know the reason for this, Father? If we just want to keep that thing a secret, we could use another way. Although I don’t mind eliminating that turtle, it will be less of a hassle for future trouble.” said Lily.

“*Sigh* My dear daughter, If I can, I also don’t want you to take another’s life. But he kept that thing with him for years. You may not know this since I created you to be completely immune towards that thing, but others will definitely be affected by it.” explained Benjamin.

“I don’t believe that turtles will be affected by it. Just by hearing your story about the turtle’s behavior, I know the turtle is already deeply affected by it. It is better to eliminate this kind of person before he does a more crazy act.” added Benjamin.

“Understood. Did we need to tell Master Angus and Duchess Amberblaze?” asked Lily.

“You could tell that kid. I don’t think he will be interested in this matter anyway. As for the Duchess, I will leave it to your judgment. I believe you will make a good decision for this matter.” said Benjamin sincerely.

Lily couldn’t help but smile at her father’s trust.

“Thank you, Father. Then, I will be going first.” replied Lily.

As soon as Lily closed her father’s private room, she disappeared from her spot. Instantly, she appeared somewhere inside the Humnia Grassland. After that, Lily cast a few chantless spells pointing toward a particular direction. A moment later, she cast [4th Circle – Swift Blast].

Empowered by various spells along the way, the Swift Blast rapidly travels through the air before hitting a turtle. *BOOOM* The surrounding area was instantly enveloped by a large explosion. Despite the explosion, none of Andvari and Jade’s soldiers notice this.

If people look carefully, they will find the entire area is surrounded by invisible complex barriers. The barrier not only hides the explosion and shock but also bright explosions.

Besides Jade and Andvari, who only notice large-scale barriers in this area, no one knows what happens there. However, the two seventh grade are still not moving since one has already noticed Lily’s mana signature while the other couldn’t make a move carelessly.

In the end, no one knows there is a large explosion in this windy grassland. As the explosion slowly recedes, Lily notices a life signature inside the burning explosion. Without giving the opponent any opportunity, she charges at it while holding two daggers.

*Clang* *BOOM* Lily’s dagger clashes with the turtle’s hard shell [Dagger art – Point Edge] [Rough Shell]. Unexpectedly, the turtle reacted fast and defended itself with its hard shell.

Still, her attack carried strong force and threw the turtle away. Using this chance, Lily cast various fourth-grade spells chantlessly.

[4th Circle – Vulcan Shots] [4th Circle – Elemental Blast] [4th Circle – Rock Spear] [4th Circle – Thunder Doom] [4th Circle – Inferno]. Each of these spells is enough to injure even seventh-grade combatants.

The turtle looks surprised at Lily’s Instacast. He no longer has a kind smile like before. Instead, his nature and aura have entirely changed. Even Lily, who has a thousand years of experience, never saw such an expression.

The turtle is like the embodiment of hatred. His nature and expression are full of hate, entirely contrasting with his previous kind behavior.

Facing the approaching dangerous spell, the turtle Ate enters its shell before spinning rapidly [Rapid Diamond]. Magically, the spinning shell turns into a hard crystal shape and withstands all the destructive spells.

Seeing the turtle turn into crystal, Lily charged at it again and brandished her two daggers. *Ting *Ting *Ting *In a few seconds, she keeps hitting the same spots hundreds of times before finally taking a distance and looking at the crystallized shell warily.

All her fast and deadly attacks, unable to even scratch the hard crystal. She didn’t move from her spot and kept observing the diamond-shaped crystal for a moment.

“I guess I have no choice. This will definitely alarm everyone.” muttered Lily before casting another few strong complex barriers.

After a whole minute, She focused her attention on the crystalized shell.

“Err Ka Nos.. Mosa.. File O Fana…” Lily starts to chant in an unknown language.

At the same time, a large amount of mana and complex magic diagrams slowly accumulate in the area. Above the crystalized shell, many large magic circles were gradually constructed one after the other vertically like a tower.

Unfortunately, such a complex and big spell will be noticed by everyone inside the Humnia Grassland. Although they couldn’t see the large Magic Diagrams in the sky, they still noticed its strong mana fluctuation.

While Lily casts this big spell, everyone has a different kind of reaction.

Inside the Archdale Hold, ‘Again? Just who is it and what is it fighting for?’ thought King Andvari warily.

“Sir, did we need to investigate it?” asked Guile, the Duke of Nergal.𝒪𝐯𝓛xt.𝒞𝐎𝑚

“No need. Unless Jade makes a move, don’t bother to send our men. Besides, it may become an opportunity for us.” said King Andvari.

At the same time, inside the Heart Kingdom’s camp.

‘Using such a big move… Did that tentacle beast return?’ thought Jade.

“Father?!” called Jane.

“I know… Send some of our people to investigate it. Also, make sure to treat Lily carefully. If they somehow get killed for offending her, we will not be responsible for it.” warned Jade coldly.

“As you wish, Father.” replied Jane before leaving Jade alone.

Meanwhile, inside Windshire Fort.

‘This mana… It’s that homunculus girl. Wasn’t she supposed to be back now?’ thought Extalia.

“Hmm… Lily?” Jayna glanced in a specific direction.

“Big sis, is it done yet?” Anna interrupted her thought.

Currently, Anna and Jayna are inside the Fortress kitchen and roasting the red-striped rabbit. The little gluttony is too impatient to wait until morning and urges Jayna to cook it now.

“Gezz… Anna, you need to be patient. It is still raw.” replied Jayna lovingly before glancing more in a specific direction.

At the same time, Angus glanced in Lily’s direction before he frowned slightly. Unlike others, he could see what happened inside Lily’s barrier through a long-distance spying spell. It is one of the secret spells he got from the Temple of Death long ago.

Unfortunately, this useful spell has a lot of restrictions, such as needing an anchor or something. It also requires the user to roughly know the direction and place.

“Master Angus, what happened?” asked Brigida confusedly.

Since they are inside a heavily isolated room, everyone here cannot sense Lily’s mana fluctuation. The only reason Angus could feel the disturbance outside is his [Mana Echoloation] unaffected by the room barriers.

“It’s nothing. Just speed up the interrogation. The Duchess wants us to deal with this matter as soon as possible.” replied Angus sternly.

“Yes, sir.” replied the interrogator in the room before approaching the bloody cage.

Then, a horrifying rabbit scream could be heard across the room. As Angus thought, the two rabbits didn’t tell him all the truth. They mixed some of the lies inside their story.

Combined with the innate ability that affects someone’s subconscious to ignore them, they almost get their way out. If it is not for Brigida, who occasionally releases a weak mental shock to everyone, they may already believe another fake story long ago.

While all the forces noticed this disturbance, Lily slowly finished her spell after a few minutes of casting. In fact, it is supposed to take at least hours or even days for others to cast spells at this scale alone.

“Sov.. Nas.. Log [7th Circle – Shurvas End].” muttered Lily.

Suddenly, a bright light falls from the highest magic circle in the sky, passing through all the magic diagrams before it hits the crystalized shell. After a moment, the bright light recedes and returns to the chilly dark knight.

Nothing is destroyed or changed despite the bright light and its large-scale effect. Even the crystalized shell is still intact. *Crack* Suddenly, the crystalized shell cracked and turned back into a normal turtle shell.

“*Cough* *Cough*” The turtle coughed black blood.

He tried to say something, but black blood kept pouring out from his orifices while his body trembled in pain. Unwillingness and regrets were shown directly in his bloody eyes. In the end, the turtle Ate died without speaking a single word to Lily.

After the turtle Ate lost its life, its body slowly turned into black liquid. Inside this black liquid, Lily could find a few storage magic tools. Just as she wants to grab the item, she feels danger from her surroundings.

In a moment, she disappeared from her spot and brandished her daggers. *Clang* *Clang* *Clang*
