The moment Angus selects 'Yes', he experiences a slight distortion in his vision before arriving at the familiar white room. *GRRR* In front of Angus, three menacing big black-colored wolves are ready to pounce at him.
"The Battle will begin in 5.. 4.. 3…
'Three?! Isn't it supposed to be two?' thought Angus inwardly while scanning the surroundings.
At this moment, both Angus and Jayna notice another sleeping little girl not far from them inside the white room.
"Anna!!" called Angus and Jayna in surprise.
Unfortunately, the countdown had already ended and the black brown wolf was approaching them. Angus immediately reacts fast and shoots a few restraining spells [2nd Circle – Binding Chain] [2nd Circle - Fire Whip].
Both mana chain and fire lashes fly toward the three wolves and restrict them. In the meantime, Jayna moves toward Anna and creates a Fire Barrier around the sleeping girl.
Despite only being a grade one brown wolf, she knows how challenging and dangerous this monster is from Angus' memory. The black wolf is smarter and stronger than the ordinary brown wolf, but they also will do anything to kill them.
This is the character and nature of every opponent the system generated. Based on this characteristic, Angus even needs to use some of his chi and domain when fighting against three-grade monsters. While in the fourth grade, he needed to use his all.
Seeing the brown wolf is completely restricted, "Huft.. It is done. They should not be able to break it. Now, how did she go inside here?" asked Angus.
"I don't know. Don't you have some kind of option or something before selecting yes?" replied Jayna while hugging Anna and letting her sleep in her arms.
"Nahh… It is just the usual confirmation with a warning that the opponent number will be according to the group." said Angus.
"Hmm… That's certainly weird. This white room also gives me a weird feeling. It is very unnatural. What is it made of?" asked Jayna.
"Not sure. But, it is very durable if you try to intentionally break it. If you use spells related to the ground, it could still be moved or destroyed. But, other than that, it will not even leave a scratch even with my strongest attack." said Angus.
"Interesting… Mind if I try to burn it?" asked Jayna.
"Sure. It will revert to normal when the battle ends anyway." said Angus.
Jayna releases some of her phoenix fire while hugging the sleeping Anna. *Whosh* The fire wave is small, but Angus knows it is very destructive and hot. He even sweated from its heat despite his fire mastery and heat resistance.
The fire lingers on the white ground for a moment before extinguishing. Jayna takes a deep breath while looking a little bit exhausted.
"This white room is certainly weird. I even use half of my mana, yet it can still not leave a burn mark on it. Is this really invincible?" said Jayna.
"If I use some earth spell to manipulate it, it still can become a molten rock or turn it into lava easily." said Angus.
While the young couple discusses the white room, Anna sleeps peacefully without caring about the world. *BOOM* Suddenly, an explosion occurred near the three brown wolf locations. One of the brown wolves had its mouth destroyed and charred.
Then, it shoots a small [Miasma Blast] towards the bind and ignores the damage it will do to its body. After escaping its restriction, the brown wolf didn't go toward Angus and ran toward another brown wolf.
Unfortunately, Angus does not stay idle either. He already experiences this kind of tactic when he fights against multiple opponents at once.
Still, he is surprised that the brown wolf is not immediately attacking him but trying to help the other first. This is the first time Angus sees the blackened creature assisting each other.
'Is it because they are from the same race? This means the higher one will be more dangerous.' thought Angus while sending another binding spell.
He knows their chance to kill him will increase significantly if the monsters have good cooperation.
During the sudden commotion, Anna unusually woke up from her peaceful sleep.
"*Yawn* Big sis, is it time for breakfast?" asked Anna, rubbing her eyes.
"So Cute!!" exclaimed Jayna while hugging Anna tightly.
"No. Anna, is it still night." replied Angus after making sure the three wolves completely bounded and sealed their miasma.
"Night? But, it is so bright… Ermm… Angus, Big sis? Where is this? Huh?? Angus, what are they?" asked Anna continuously.
"Well, since Anna is already here, how about we find out more about this place?" asked Angus to Jayna.
"Angus.. Angus.. What are they? They are sooo weeeiiirdd." asked Anna again while looking intently at the restrained three black wolves.
"Hmm… What did you think? Did you notice something about them?" asked Angus back.
ραпdǎ Й?νêl(сòm) "Anna doesn't know. They are so weird." repeated Anna.
"Can't you talk to them?" asked Angus.
"Talk?! How? Anna didn't speak the 'Grrr' language." replied Anna bluntly.
"Err… Aren't you capable of talking to beasts or monsters? Like Onyx and Magen?" asked Angus back.
"Ahh… Onyx and Magen are different. Wait… Where are Onyx and Magen? Where are they? And this… Things. Angus, what are they?" asked Anna rapidly.
"*Sigh* They are… Let's just say they are a monster created by someone. As for Onyx and Magen, it seems they are not coming to this place since they didn't have any connection with me." explained Angus.
"Monster? Angus, they are not monsters. If they are monsters, Anna will know them. They are different and weird." replied Anna.
During this moment, Angus notices Anna keeps mentioning them with 'they'.
'Normally, Anna will call something or someone with her own nickname unless Anna recognizes their strength. It means they are something unknown that even Anna's insight couldn't see.' thought Angus inwardly.
"Angus, Big sis, can Anna kill them? Anna didn't like them." said Anna coldly.
"Kill, not burst?" asked Angus.
"Emm… Anna really didn't like them." replied Anna.
"Fine. But, be careful, okay." said Angus.
Anna gets down from Jayna's embrace and approaches one of the restrained black wolves.
"Huh?! Weird… Angus, what are they?" asked Anna again, standing before the restrained black wolf.
"Is there something wrong, Anna?" asked Angus.
"Anna, can't kill them. They are really weird. No, this whole place is weird. Anna didn't like it but also loved it. Hehehe…" replied Anna before having a maniac laugh.
Noticing the strangeness, Angus and Jayna immediately approach Anna. Suddenly, Anna is covered by black tendril from her own shadow. *WHOOSHH* A moment later, a strong wave erupted from Anna's position.
"Yay!! Yay!! Anna is free!! Lalalaa…" laughed Anna maniacally while flying all over the room.
She also occasionally releases strong miasma attacks on the surroundings. Despite this, none of the attacks or traces of potent miasma touch a single hair of Angus and Jayna. On the other hand, the brown wolf turned into a bad state.
"Still survive, huh? Then, die!!" said Anna before ending the life of the three black wolves using her claws.
"Wait.. Anna." called Angus.
"*Ding* Congratulations on winning against three Brown Wolf (Grade 1) x 3. Winning time 13 minutes 05 seconds."
"The automatic battle against three Brown Wolf (Grade 1) is available with the expected time of 13 minutes 05 seconds."
"Do you want to repeat the group battle to achieve better winning time? Warning: The winning time cannot be lower than 1 second. Yes or No" a series of system notifications appeared in front of Angus.
"Huh?! What's happening?! Angus, Big sis!!" screamed Anna before she hugged them and turned back into a child.
Seeing the scared Anna, "Anna, it's fine. You just finished the battle. Nothing is going wrong." said Angus before selecting Yes.
*Whosh* The whole area blurred for a split second before they arrived back at the recovered white room with three black wolves.
"Angus, what just happened? What's going on? Why is everything back to normal?" asked Anna in confusion.
"Anna, it's fine. It is… Just this place's mechanism." replied Jayna while hugging Anna.
The couple could somehow understand why Anna suddenly became scared and reacted like this. Anna is someone who relies heavily on instinct. In other words, she is susceptible to her surroundings.
"Anna, when you killed those black wolves before, what did you feel?" asked Angus while restraining the three black wolves
"Ermm… Anna feels like this place is going to end. Anna was very scared that Angus and Big sis would die with it because of Anna." said Anna while crying.
"There.. There... We will not leave you, Anna." said Jayna while hugging Anna.
"Hmm… No wonder. Technically, this place will end if the battle is done. So, you are not wrong. But don't worry Big sis and I will not die. We will just go back to our previous world." explained Angus.
"Really? So, Angus and Big sis will not leave Anna alone?" asked Anna.
"Yeah. Anna, we will never ever leave you." replied Jayna
"Okay." replied Anna shortly while burying her face into Jayna's arm.
"Now, if you already calmed down, could you explain about you being free?" asked Angus.
"Did Anna have to?" asked Anna.
"Of course. This is for your own good, Anna." said Angus.
"But, it's too complicated. Dumb Dumb Angus probably will not understand Anna." said Anna with her usual mischievous smile.
