Chapter 572 Jealousy



"In fact, Alder is supposed to babysit her. But, I guess his babysitting standard is quite different." said Nabe.

"Babysitting phoenix?! I don\'t know if the monster overlord needs to do that?" commented the Duchess.

Hearing the Duchess\'s words, Alder and Nabe didn\'t immediately reply but stayed silent for a moment.

"There are many things in this world that we don\'t know. Even with my vast knowledge, I only know a little bit of it." said Nabe.

The Duchess didn\'t ask for more as she noticed the two of them didn\'t want to talk about it more. She knows the seventh grade could be quite secretive. Her lover King Leon also often hides some information from her. It is not that he didn\'t trust her, but it is to protect herself.

As an experienced commander that already fought multiple wars, she knows information and knowledge could be very dangerous just by knowing it. Even in the Heart Kingdom, they also hide or erase some sensitive information from the past.

Meanwhile, Angus, Jayna, and Anna finally could rest after their small reunion. Before returning to the knights, Angus looked at his twin swords on the ground for a moment. He has a slight fear of touching and holding the weapon artifact again.

It is clear to him that the artifacts go wild like never before during the battle. During the last attack, Angus actually loses control for a moment. He only wants to clear a path before him, but he kills all the monsters in the surrounding area and is left with only a little bit of mana.

It is already a miracle he didn\'t attack the others, as he knows the artifact\'s tendency to burn things like pyromaniacs. However, Angus also could throw the swords away. After the last attack, the twin swords were completely bound to him.

Although he still didn\'t know its name, he could feel strongly connected with the swords. It is an entirely different feeling from the other artifacts he had. After thinking for a moment, Angus stretched his hands before the twins\' swords flew into him.

Holding the artifact, "Damn… This will be addicting for any weak-minded people." muttered Angus.

"Angus, are you okay?" asked Jayna in worry while holding Anna.

"Yes. Let\'s go back now." said Angus before storing the artifact.

The moment Angus touches the artifacts, he feels like become complete. It even gives him the illusion that he has become stronger. In fact, he is still the same as before and doesn\'t get any boost or new abilities.

This phenomenon is not rare and Angus knows it is just the side effect of having the artifact bound to him. Strangely, when he held the artifact, the fear of using it was gone. It also gives him a slight tendency to use it. Furthermore, if he doesn\'t have it, he will feel incomplete or have an illusion of getting weaker.

Fortunately, Angus is not ordinary and could brush off this effect. This is not the first time he has handled such a troublesome weapon. After Angus and Anna wear a new set of clothes, they return to everyone.

They find everyone is already resting. Most of them collapsed on the ground, with only the embassy\'s healer and a few non-combatant people that could still look fine.

"Baron Victory, you are back." called the embassy\'s secretary Yelena.

"How is everyone?" asked Angus.

"From the initial eighteen knights, six of them died during the battle. The rest is heavily wounded and currently resting from the mana potion and Miasma antidote side effects. The healer said they may wake up in a day or more." reported Yelena formally.

"Hmm… Anna, how long could Onyx fight like that?" asked Angus while pointing at the giant rampage snake killing all the monsters in the surrounding area.

"Umm… Onyx can do that as long as Onyx is with Anna." replied Anna while hugging Jayna.

After their reunion, the little girl became more spoiled and didn\'t want to separate from the young couple. Angus and Jayna didn\'t mind it as they knew Anna still felt a little bit insecure from this incident.

"Did you mean that as long as Onyx is nearby, he will not get restricted? Then, how about you? Are you alright to keep Onyx like that?" asked Angus worriedly.

"Silly Angus. Anna is strong." said the little girl proudly.

Angus couldn\'t help but chuckle at Anna and pat the small little girl\'s head.

"Good. Yelena, make sure everyone rests properly. They are talented knights and the future of our kingdom. We can\'t lose or bury their talent now. With Onyx here, I doubt any fifth monster could beat him." said Angus.

The Ancient Zokline may only be in sixth grade, but he belongs to the colossal beast. One of the advantages of colossal beasts is they have a wide range of attacks. Moreover, Onyx will become the beacon that attracts every newborn monster in the area and ignores Angus\'s group.

After giving a few more instructions to Yelena, the young couple and Anna walk towards the silent masked person who is still recovering like the others.

Noticing their group, "I suppose you want some answer, right?" asked the masked person.

"Since the other groups are currently unavailable, I will ask you first." replied Angus casually.

"Hmm?? You seem calmer than before." replied the masked person with a chuckle.

Before Angus could reply, "Angus.. Angus… This female wants to mate with Angus." chimed Anna from the side.

"Huh?!" asked Angus.

"This female wants Angus inside her like what Angus did to Big Sis usually." said Anna with an innocent smile.

​ "W-Wha.. What are you talking about?!!" replied the masked person in surprise.

"Anna, don\'t play around. She may hold the key to escape from here." said Angus as he could feel their surroundings become very hot by a second.

"Ehhh… But Mmffmmphh…" Angus closed Anna\'s mouth with his hand before she could speak anymore and agitated Jayna.

Angus knows how temperamental his girlfriend is when it comes to other women. Jayna may always say about having love rivals. Still, he knows she just wants to prove to other women that Angus is hers.

It is like a female animal claiming its partner by fighting and killing the other female. A beastly instinct comes to Jayna when she merges with Fire Phoenix. Jayna and Angus know this tendency, but since it happens subconsciously, it is tough to control it.

"Let\'s get back to the topic. I hear you are one of the Seven Faces leaders. Can\'t you let us go or at least explain to us what this place is?" said Angus.

"Sure. I apologize for involving you as an outsider in this mess. But we don\'t have much choice either. It is either do or die for us. Anyway, what do you want to know first?" asked the Seven Faces Disgust.

"What is this place?" asked Angus.

"I don\'t know the details, but this place should be the capital city that turns into a dungeon using our special magic tools." replied Seven Faces Disgust.

"Hmm… What powered these magic tools? Can\'t you revert it?" asked Angus.

"We use the Thousand Hurdle Monument as the power source and I am not sure about reversing it. The initial plan is to use the citizen\'s desperation to kill the elders. Once the elders die, the dungeon will revert to the previous capital city." replied Seven Faces Disgust.

"I suppose the plan is not going well." asked Angus.

"Truthfully, I don\'t know anymore. I was on task to eliminate the elders while the other Seven Faces fought against Yawan. However, I lost contact with them six hours ago." replied Seven Faces Disgust while taking a small box similar to a phone from Earth.

"This magic tool is supposed to allow us to communicate with each other and locate the elders\' position. It also shows how many elders remain in this dungeon. However, it has somehow stopped working during the past six hours." added Seven Faces Disgust as she showed a word error.

"Hmm… Can I take a look at it?" asked Angus.

"Sure. I am not great at this stuff anyway." said Seven Faces Disgust.

"For a criminal, you look pretty calm despite all this chaos." commented Angus.

"I just don\'t have any choice, isn\'t it? Besides, I don\'t mind if you are the one that takes my life." replied Seven Faces Disgust while muttering in a low voice at her last sentence.

Still, Angus and Jayna could hear it and frown at such answers. Jayna could feel deep sadness from the woman. Still, it has nothing to do with them, and Angus focuses on inspecting the magic tools in his hand.

"Hmm… I see. This thing is a kind of transmitter connected with whatever magic tools at the dungeon core, or we should call it Thousand Hurdle Monument. *Sigh* This is quite a problem." sighed Angus.

"Trans.. What?" asked Seven Faces Disgust.

"In short, this thing is connected with the magic tools that turn this place into a dungeon. The problem is the tools are completely fine and not broken." said Angus.

"But, how come it always shows these error words if it works properly?" asked Seven Faces Disgust.
