I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 827 Relentless Attack

Living up to its name as a mobile fortress, Alkin easily clears all the rubbles and obstacles in the distance. None of the ambushers are even alive from the bombardment. At this moment, Angus feels strong mana from all over the direction.

"Tch.. Everyone, ready to battle." said Angus, standing up from his chair.

Brigida, Lilith, and the Royal Guards immediately draw their weapon and prepare for combat. All of them realize Angus must have sensed another ambusher and a strong one at that.

Along with Angus's warning, the powerful mana erupted nearby, shaking surrounding the ground. *GRRTTTTT* Dirt, sand, rocks, and gravel congregate into one place to create a massive giant earth [Earth Power - Mother Earth].

"Hahahaha…. The Bounty is mine!!" laughed a burly one-eyed dwarf from the giant Earth.

This bounty hunter dwarf is a famous bounty hunter called One-eyed Enok, the Breaker. As the giant Earth formed, it held a large chunk of land in its hand before throwing it at the Alkin.

The massive rubble is a little bit bigger than the Alkin itself. If it hits the Alkin directly, it may damage the mobile fortress and stop its movement.

Just as the passenger wants to fight back, a flash of red light cuts through this enormous rubble. *SWING* Instantly, it cut into pieces along with the giant Earth in the distance. *BOOOOOM* A strong shockwave erupted from it.

*CLANG* At the critical moment, the one-eyed dwarf reacts and defends against the incoming fast attack using his gauntlets.

"Crimson Flash, huh?" said the one-eyed dwarf.

"Hoo… Such a strong defense." said Duchess Amberblaze coldly.

With Angus' high Bounty, the Duchess will not leave Angus and the others alone. However, their previous relationship also made it awkward for them to stay together.

Hence, she decides to escort Alkin with her Flash Squad from a distance. Her group also acts as reinforcement for this kind of situation. 

Using her powerful momentum, the Duchess forced the one-eyed dwarf back and emerged from the Earth giant.

"Urgh… Don't underestimate me, woman!!" roared the one-eyed as he gripped the Earth with his hand.

*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK* Countless fissures formed with the dwarf grip before spreading around [Earth Break]. Before long, this fissure had already spread around toward Alkin.

[Anduril - Resize] *SWISH* A massive cut breaks the ground and stops the fissure from approaching Alkin. The Duchess decisively cut the land by enlarging her greatsword artifact. Without wasting this opportunity, she launched her massive greatsword towards the dwarf.

*BOOOM* Another shockwave and tremor shook the whole land. Using the Duchess cover, the Alkin moved forward unimpeded.

Seeing the powerful one-eyed Enok and Angus's reaction, Viscount and the others know the situation is worse than expected.

"Prepare for the booster!!" ordered Viscount Waterhell decisively.

He knows that as long as they keep moving forward, the ambusher will have difficulty catching up to them. If they stop and fight back, they will become a sitting duck and continuously get onslaught.

*BRMM* *BRMM* *BRRRMMM* A loud roaring machine could be heard afar. At once, everyone could see a metallic vehicle similar to a motorbike coming fast in their direction.

The motorbike is loud and releases an intense burst of fire from behind, leaving scorching ground on its trail. A full-metal armored person holding a massive iron lance driving this particular motorbike.

Seeing the target, the armored person accelerates the motorbike further, releasing a stronger fire burst from behind. In a few moments, the motorbike breaks through the speed of sound and instantly gets near Alkin.

Before Viscount Waterhell could order something, the armored person already launched his massive lance towards Angus. *SPOOSSHH* Using the person's strong momentum and acceleration, the lance breaks the bubble wall and reaches Angus instantly.

Facing such an attack, Angus didn't flinch and just slightly tilted his body sideways to dodge the lance by a hairbreadth. Angus's impeachable reaction surprised the armored person as the metallic lance passed through him and hit the land in the distance. *BOOOOM*

"Shoot him down!!" ordered Viscount Waterhell.

*BOOMM* *BOOMM* *BOOMM* Dozens of projectile spells and magic cannons fired towards the armored person along with its bizarre motorbike. Everyone was attracted to the armored person and their motorbike, so a dark cloud formed above the area.

*KIIIKK* A piercing loud bird cry could be heard from above. A moment later, they find a massive black crow approaching Alkin from above. Countless poisonous insects and parasites could be seen over this crow.

If it were not for its strong aura, everyone would think this giant crow is already dead or controlled by these hideous parasites.

"S-Sin Crow!!" exclaimed one of the guards.

Sin Crow is one of the world's most powerful bird monster species. It is also known as the ruler of the sky and one of the major factors hindering space and high-altitude flight technology worldwide.

Fortunately, this Sin Crow is not the monster overlord or the true ruler of the sky. It is just a fifth-grade Sin Crow tamed by someone. Although it is rare for a monster to be tamed, it is not entirely impossible. Still, a fifth-grade Sin Crow is dangerous for Angus and the others.

"Shoot it down!! Don't let it get closer!!" ordered Viscount Waterhell.

As a magician with vast knowledge, the Viscount knows the danger of Sin Crow. The most troublesome of this monster is the plague, disease, and the highly poisonous creature it carries on its body.

If they come into contact with it, the whole crew of Alkin may not survive, leaving only those with high grade and body resistance. Furthermore, they don't know how deadly the plague and poisonous creatures are. Therefore, it is better to keep a distance from such a monster.

*BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM* As the crew fires their spells and projectile weapons, a grey energy wave erupts from the top of the Sin Crow [4th Circle - Ephemeral Quintessence]. *BUSSSSH* All the projectile attacks lose their power as the gray holds them.

At the same time, most of the crew members of Alkin slump on the ground while holding their heads. Few even groaned in pain and coughed blood on the spot. Only the fifth grade, Royal Guards, and Angus group seem unaffected by such an attack.

"Spiritual Attack?!" said Angus with a frown.

He knows spiritual attack is one of the most difficult to defend. Unless you have special training against spiritual attacks, most people can only rely on strong willpower to resist them.

'Even the fifth-grade magicians such as Viscount Waterhell couldn't fully resist such a spiritual attack. This shows the attacker has a strong spirit. This is going to be a hard fight.' thought Angus inwardly.

*BZZTT* *BZZTT* *BZZTT* As everyone gets their bearings and recovers from a sudden, powerful spiritual attack, a spark of lightning dances in the dark sky and pours down the surrounding area randomly.

Fortunately, the bubble wall acts as the anchor and mitigates the lightning elemental attack. *Snap* Knowing he couldn't stay idle any more, Angus snapped his finger.

A terrifying amount of mana was released from Angus as countless fire sparks formed around Alkin [4th Circle - Vulcan Shots]. These small fireballs jumped around in the air and moved toward each assailant.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* All of them are hitting these assailants precisely without missing a single hiding person, especially the Sin Crow in the sky.

"Kukuku… Such a terrifying mana. No wonder he got a high bounty on his head." commented the black-robed person above the Sin Crow.

Just as the black-robed person wants to launch another attack, he finds a translucent white bat suddenly appearing in front of Sin Crow. *KIIIIIKKK* A loud piercing sound was heard from the small bat. At once, the Sin Crow feels disoriented and falls to the ground.

At the same time, the black-robed person also coughed blood while slumping on the back of the Sin Crow. No one knows his current condition, but Angus is sure the robbed person should at least receive a severe spiritual injury.

"Bitty?!! Why did Bitty do that? What if Bitty gets hurt and becomes stinky? Anna didn't want stinky itty Bitty." grumbled Anna while hugging her bat pet.

The White Lucid Bat could only give up being hugged by its master dejectedly. Although it knows the previous attack wouldn't hurt Anna, it still couldn't tolerate its master getting attacked by such a lousy spiritual attack.

Anna may be an unreasonable master and probably far from a good master. However, all her pets are very loyal and protective of her.

Deep inside, they know Anna is worthy to follow despite her unreasonable actions and chaotic nature. Besides, Anna never truly hurt them as long as they didn't go against her will.

Seeing the fallen Sin Crow in the distance, everyone was relieved for a bit. A spiritual attack is a very hard defense. If most of the people here are not a strong high-grade combatant with a tempered will, they may end up dead or turn into vegetative people long ago.

With the previous continuous ambush, the guards increased their vigilance and no longer stayed still. Every single one of them focuses on their surroundings and is ready to react to any attack.
