"Did you also want me to do the same thing with the Dwarf?" asked Angus.
"No. Although the dwarf is a good ally, they are not united like Altras. You could think of them as the beastman with many subraces and tribes. But, rather than being divided by subraces, they are divided by region." explained King Leon.
"The dwarf also adhered to ancestor law deeply and had quite a stubborn head. I think you should know this better with Old Goldstein's case." added King Leon.
"Yeah. The dwarf would rather die than break their principles." said Angus.
"However, it is also undeniable that they are the greatest crafter race in the world. Have you ever heard about the world-class title [World Smith]?" asked King Leon.
"Ahh.. yeah. I learned about it from Master Darren. Isn't it an old man's Draught title?" replied Angus.
"Yes. You may not know this, but among the previous [World Smith], more than half of it came from the dwarf race. While a quarter of them come from the elf race. I think you should know the potential of their race." revealed King Leon.
"Agreed. Even that crazy old Balrug himself is a great crafter if he puts his mind to it. I hear you recently had a clash with him about Lily's new dagger." said Angus.
"It's not my fault. He asked for ten million just for producing two daggers. We could procure hundreds of artifacts with that kind of money alone." retorted King Leon.
"Hahaha… That is something that he will do. Old Balrug prefers to create the best or nothing at all. Anyway, I should go back now. I need to get ready for today's evening." said Angus.
"Wait, Angus. About today's evening…" called King Leon before stopping.
"What is it?" asked Angus.
"Forget about it. Just keep that little monster out of trouble." said King Leon.
"Don't worry. Anna may not care about those people's lives, but she held good respect for these kinds of things." said Angus.
"Good. Then, you can go now." said King Leon.
Hearing this, Angus immediately disappeared using [Flame Blink] and appeared near Jayna at Victory's training ground. *Crack* *Boom*
"Welcome back." called Jayna from the side.
"Yeah, I am back. Urgh… It seems I need more practice using this [Flame Blink]." said Angus while massaging his forehead.
Currently, Angus has a headache and uncomfortable disorientation from [Flame Blink]. Although slowly used to it, he still couldn't ignore the sudden uncomfortable disorientation after utilizing the space skill.
"So, will we be on a trip again?" asked Jayna while comforting Angus.
"Yeah. Your Father is too good. He has already planned everything since our trip to Nirvas. We go to Nirvas not just to help your brother pass the entrance test as soon as possible but to gain some relation with Nirvas." said Angus.
"I wonder how he has such confidence in us. Anyway, did you know anything about the remnants of the last civil war?" asked Angus.
"Unfortunately, no. What I know is the same as you." replied Jayna.
"Hmm… What did you think of these guardians?" asked Angus.
"Not sure. But, they should be already very old. Although I don't know Father's exact age, he should be almost 100 years old. Since these guardians should be older than him, they must be at least 150 or more years old." said Jayna.
"True. *Sigh* I hate when I need to deal with old men. They are too stubborn and annoying." chimed Angus.
"Anyway, where is Anna? Did she still not go back yet?" asked Angus.
"Nope. She is still with Mira. I hope she is fine since she even misses her lunch." replied Jayna worriedly.
"Don't worry, she's probably doing something mischievous with Mira." said Angus before he felt something fast approaching them.
"Angus! Big Sis!!" called Anna before jumping to them from the fast-moving flying pillow.
*BOOOM* When Angus catches Anna, he is thrown into the nearby wall in the distance.
"Angus!! Anna!!" called Jayna worriedly.
"*Cough* *Cough* Anna, that's dangerous. You should never do that again." rebuked Angus sternly.
"Ahh… Anna sorry. Anna is too excited." said Anna with a sad tone.
"It's okay. Just don't repeat this mistake again." said Angus while giving Anna to Jayna.
In the meantime, he decided to change his clothes. His clothes were already destroyed by the impact force. During this time, he notices his body is entirely unharmed, which shouldn't be happening even with his high endurance.
The impact force Anna gives does not come from ordinary speed. In fact, Angus already perceives Anna and Mira's presence outside the capital city before the hit. However, from the outside capital city to their location, the two girls arrive less than a second later.
This speed and force can kill even sixth-grade warriors if they catch them unguarded. Yet, Angus wasn't even hurt by this kind of strong impact. Angus decided to consider this later and focused on the naughty little girl.
"Is Angus hurt? Anna is sorry." said Anna in an apologetic tone.
"It's fine. I am not hurt. Only my clothes were destroyed." said Angus.
"Really?!" asked Anna with a sad tone.
"Yeah. Anyway, why did you come in a hurry?" said Angus.
"Anna in a hurry? Mira, did Anna and Mira come in a hurry?" asked Anna to her best friend nearby.
Mira only shakes her head in silence.
"Urgh.. Forget about it. Where did you go this time?" asked Angus.
"Ahhh… Yeah. Stupid Angus almost makes Anna forget. Anna and Mira are having a nice hot bath. Then, Anna and Mira find a poor turtle. The turtle is sick." said Anna excitedly while she forgot the previous incident.
"Anna decides to help the poor turtle. Ahh… Anna is also cleaning the poor turtle's back." explained Anna.
"Poor turtle?! Anna, did the turtle speak a common language?" asked Angus.
"Hmmm… Anna doesn't know. It's just 'Grmm' 'Graaa'." replied Anna comically.
Hearing this, both Jayna and Angus feel relief. They thought Anna and Mira had encountered the mysterious turtle like Lily had found before. Although the mysterious turtle was already killed by Lily, it still worries them since this kind of turtle is very dangerous and vicious.
'Fortunately, the turtle is nothing like Lily's description.' thought Angus and Jayna.
"Did the turtle give something to you?" asked Angus just to be sure.
The couple thought the turtle must be some kind of turtle beast or something similar since they knew Anna would never approach an ordinary turtle.
"Yeah. The poor turtle gives Anna a lot of delicious burned meat." replied Anna.
"I see… So, that's why you missed your lunchtime." said Jayna while carrying the little girl.
"Ehh… Anna missed lunchtime?! No!!" cried Anna in a sad tone.
Seeing the naughty girl's behavior, Angus and Jayna could only shake their heads. Then, they go back inside the mansion and prepare for the memorial event in the afternoon. During this time, Angus decides to check his body and status.
Host: Angus Victory
Age: 18 Years Old
MP: 763/763 -> 765/765
Chi: 534 -> 1310
Heritage chi: ???
Strength: 60 -> 60
Dexterity: 58 -> 59
Intelligence: 57 -> 58
Vitality: 58 -> 60
Soul Point: 305.332 -> 287.997
Soul Reserve: 1327 -> 1331
(A.N: time difference around one month.)
"Hmm… Since when does the vitality increase by one point? I remember it should be 59 this morning." muttered Angus while bathing.
'It seems my previous conjecture is true. Our body still has not fully digested Anna's previous soup. It seems she also subconsciously helps us digest it by all her mischievous deeds.' thought Angus.
'As for why she did it more often to me than Jayna must be because I grew more than Jayna. With the help of a cheat-like system, my body and mind will keep getting stronger just by doing nothing. Still, this is troublesome.' thought Angus while grasping his hand.
After reaching 60 mark points, Angus knows his body will take longer to adapt to each point increase. He needs at least two months before he is ready to increase a single attribute after it reaches the sixty mark.
He also gets some severe side effects for each point increase. Each attribute gives different side effects.
Strength makes him unable to control his power. Agility reduces his body coordination and balance. Intelligence reduces his mind and body coordination. Lastly, Vitality makes him hungry faster and increases his food consumption.
For Angus, the most harmless one is the side effect of Vitality. As long as he has perfect body control, he can easily control his metabolism and energy consumption. However, it still gives him an uncomfortable feeling.
It gives him the feeling of having a long week of fasting. Although he could ignore it, it bothered him as he couldn't completely relax his body and mind.
Moreover, the hunger period happens for a few weeks, unlike the others, which only occur for a few days or a week at maximum.
Coming out from the long cold bath, Angus dresses while seeing Jayna brushing Anna's long black hair.
"Don't you also need to prepare?" asked Angus.
"And leave Anna on her own? You know she will never have others taking care of her beside you and me." said Jayna.
"Yeah! Yeah! Anna only wants Angus and Big sis." chimed the little girl while enjoying being pampered by Jayna.
"Don't worry. I hear uncle Darius will send Brigida and Lilith to help me to prepare later." said Jayna.
