Anna's anger is only momentarily as she gets distracted by the smell of another roasted pig. After listening to Angus' idea, Anna orders Porky to release pigs non-stop. This creates many burning pigs running around and dead charred pigs in the surrounding.
Yet, the little gluttony ignores all these messes and keeps globbing roasted pork. As for Angus and Jayna, they didn't care too much about Anna's careless behavior since the running pig also helped them by creating chaos in the surroundings.
The pigs somehow prevent the dwarves from surrounding Angus or using sophisticated combination skills. *PIIIIKKK* After gathering the scorching fire in the surrounding area, Jayna creates another giant Firebird.
The Firebird may be unable to injure the dwarf or even kill them. However, it can still release strong heat waves and hold the nearby dwarf. The dwarves also need more mana to resist or withstand the strong heat wave from being thrown back.
Jayna and Angus could lessen the pressure and converse their strength with these new firebirds. As a result, Angus and Jayna have more time to breathe. Although they have a lot of mana and stamina, it didn't mean they could always fight at high intensity.
They still need a few moments to take a breath. These few moments of lapse could become a problem for them, especially Jayna. Unlike the monstrous Angus, Jayna's combat prowess is not as monstrous as his.
She still needs a lot of focus when fighting against all these elite dwarves. If Jayna didn't get a lot of assistance from Angus, she might collapse from a long time ago. As the battle goes on, everyone slowly hears a humming sound.
"E.. Shimbawe~ Shulla Shikkaka LaO E.. Shimbawe~ [Secret Art - Drunken Snore]." Everyone slowly hears a soft voice in the dwarf language in the air.
Magically, the song's voice gets clearer as time passes, as if someone speaks at their ear directly. The sound gets clearer despite all the commotion and loud battlefields in the area.
At the same time, everyone finds themselves irresistible sleepiness. A few dwarves try to fight back and shake their heads, only to discover it is futile.
In the end, the dwarves slowly fall and sleep on the scorched ground as soon as they close their eyes for a moment.
'Mind-type skill?!' thought Angus in vigilance.
The skill also affected Angus, Jayna, and Anna. Fortunately, Angus has perfect control over his body and mind. He could easily resist and counter the effect without a problem. As for Jayna, she resists it with the help of Angus through their bond.
Their [Allegiance] bond is not only for sharing intention and mana but also could prevent others from being influenced by mind attacks. It is just a mind-type skill that is so rare that they didn't have such an opportunity before.
In contrast, Anna only shakes her head to prevent her from getting sleepy before going back to munching her roasted pork. Despite being a heavy sleeper, Anna is actually very good at controlling her sleepiness.
No one could force her to sleep unless she wanted to sleep. Even Angus's spell is helpless against her. At most, she shrugs it off before returning to being energetic.
"Now, catch the pig!!" shouted one of the dwarfs on top of the nearby scorched building while holding a liquor bottle.
At the same time, Angus and Jayna find some dwarves coming out from various locations, such as air, ground, or simply flying from the air. Using their keen perception, they know these people are stronger than the elite dwarves guards they fought before.
To their surprise, these dwarves ignore Angus and Jayna but focus on catching the running pigs in the surroundings while drinking some liquor.
"Ehhh…. That's Anna's roasted pork!!" complained Anna.
Before Anna could confront the dwarves, Angus appeared before her and prevented her from complicating the situation. Using his sharp perception and observation, he knows these drunken dwarves are the ones that stay underground and ignore all the mess above.
"Noo!! Daddy, those baddies stealing Anna's roasted pork!!" grumbled Anna while being held by Angus.
"Anna, calm down. Don't you still have more pigs to eat?" asked Angus.
"B-But…" said Anna reluctantly.
"By my beard!! This is…" exclaimed one of the dwarves loudly while slicing one of the pigs.
"Uvic, what's wrong?!!" said one of the nearby dwarfs.
"Don't you see?!! This is a heavenly pig!! The first grade of its kind. Did you see the fat and meat combination, the bouncy and tender meat? Normally, this kind of pork meat could only happen with many cooking processes." said Uvic excitedly.
"Huh?! What are you talking about, Uvic?" asked the nearby drunken dwarf.
"Tch… You drunkard will never understand this kind of heavenly meat." grumbled Uvic while cutting the pig professionally.
"In other words, the pig will turn out delicious even if it is cooked by unprofessional people, right?" chimed Angus from the side.
"Oohhh… Yeah, that's right. Normally, there are a lot of processes for cooking pork meat. If it is handled poorly, it may give a bad taste or smell. There is also a huge chance that you will get various worm diseases." said Uvic.
"But, these pigs not only have a perfect fat-meat combination. They also didn't smell nor have impurities like waste or others. This is simply first-grade pork meat." added Uvic excitedly.
"It's Anna's roasted pork." pouted Anna from the side.
"You must be the famous little monster that I heard lately." said another drunken dwarf.
"Anna is not a little monster. Anna is Anna." retorted Anna.
"Yes… Yes… Little Anna. So, how about we make a deal?" asked the dwarves with a shrewd smile.
"*Gasp* Daddy, Mommy, the baddies turn into perverts!! Help!!" called Anna before burying her face into Angus' arm.
"Pfft… Hahhaha!!" laughed all the nearby dwarves.
"Pervert!! Hahaha… My beard almost fell off when I heard that!!" laughed some dwarves nearby.
In contrast, the dwarf with a shrewd smile could only chug his liquor and turn red. No one knows if it is from the booze or his embarrassment.
"Hahaha… Now, where were we? Anna, right? Why don't you give me these pigs and I will give you something back." said another dwarf.
Learning from the previous dwarf's mistake, this dwarf took a straightforward approach. He knows people like Anna are simple-minded and will make cuss without end if he does not go to the point.
Before Anna could reply, "Oi.. Sabig. You can't just claim all the pigs by yourself!!" said another dwarf.
"Yeah… I am the first one that arrived here. It should be me!!" said another dwarf.
"Nonsense!! I am the one that put them to sleep. It should be me." said another dwarf.
"Bugger off!! It's my idea to come here. So, It should be me first." said Uvic.
All the drunken dwarves start to argue and bicker with each other. No one wants to miss getting such good pork meat. They are not stupid such easily handled pork meat will definitely be valuable and could be sold for a high price when they return to their community.
Moreover, some of them also already taste pork meat and find it has high nutrition. If possible, they may even want to bring the giant pork with them.
Fortunately, their pride as a dwarf race prevents them from making such a despicable greedy act. At most, they will try to cheat Anna for these pigs.
On the other hand, Angus and Jayna could only look at the bickering dwarves weirdly. As for Anna, she seems to forget about the stolen pig and tries to drink the liquor bottle sneakily. Unfortunately, Jayna catches her and hugs her tightly to prevent her from running around.
"No!! Anna also wants to take a sip." complained Anna.
"Nope. That's a bad drink. Anna is too young for that." said Jayna sternly.
Few of the bickering dwarves heard this banter and thought of an idea.
"Little Anna, why don't I trade this liquor bottle for your pigs?" said one of the dwarfs.
"Hold on… Isn't that your mommy's pee bottle!!" said one of the dwarfs.
"Don't listen to him, girl. I will give you some good liquor for the pigs." chimed another dwarf.
"What a scam!! Little Anna, if you decide to trade the pigs with me, I will give you my precious Rosy Rose!!" said Uvic resolutely.
"Rosy Rose?!! By my beard!! Uvic, isn't that your best liquor?!!" commented another dwarf.
"Alright, that's enough!!" shouted Jayna coldly.
The drunken dwarf immediately becomes silent and focuses on Jayna.
"No one gives my baby girl any liquor!! Or I will make sure you taste eternal burn." said Jayna coldly.
Being glared at by sharp phoenix eyes, the dwarves couldn't help but nervously fear Jayna. Although they are strong and powerful, they still don't want to anger a mother protecting her child. This is just their instinct to subconsciously fear the mother figure.
"Ehem… Anna here is like meat or something delicious. If you have any delicious food, Anna may trade the pig with you." said Angus as he decided to calm the situation.
"Meat?! Hmm… I have this sausage in me now." said Uvic before taking out a preserved plate.
The plate contains a dish made of dark red sausage, bread, and a few unknown elements.
Sniffing the food smell, "Anna wants it!! Give Anna! Give Anna!" said Anna.
