Chapter 494 Life Goal

After seeing the dejected face of the two women, Angus continued.

"Not too long ago, I experienced the same thing from a crazy old man. At that time, he even made me feel something worse than this time and I almost succumbed to him. No, I actually already feel hopeless and surrender."

"However, I got lucky. There is a voice in my head that keeps reminding me about my goals. The true goal of my life that keeps me from going astray and moving forward."

"Without this goal, I will never become what I am today." said Angus while patting Anna's head and embracing Jayna lovingly.

The two women realize this goal Angus talks about, especially Jayna since Angus never hides this kind of thing from her. In the meantime, Aunt Extalia subconsciously touches her bracelet and misses Leon.

Darren and Mira also hear Angus' words. They didn't comment on his word, as Mira gave a silent nod as if agreeing with Angus.

"Big sis, are you scared? Don't worry, Anna and Angus are here." said Anna with many leftover foods on her cheek.

"*Sigh* Anna, eat slowly. No one is going to take your food. But, thanks. Big sis is fine." said Jayna as she finally calmed down while wiping the leftover on Anna's cheek.

In the meantime, Darren works efficiently and takes care of all the scared monsters. Since Darren's spells summon the monsters randomly, he still needs to sort them out while everyone recovers from the shock.

Still, this is new knowledge for Angus. Most of the monsters Darren summoned are rare, with various unique traits. One looks like a shark but spouts flame from its mouth. One looks like a bird with wings but can't fly and burrow on the ground.

There are also others with bizarre specialties, such as being capable of mimicking other elemental attacks or having ridiculous strong miasma barriers despite looking very fragile. It took Darren a while to sort out all the monsters since some of them were hard to detect between grade four and three.

Fortunately, Darren finishes it before noon. They also come back to Craghost on time. Arriving at the Craghost, they immediately go towards the plaza, which is already near the deadline.

While walking through the street, Angus feels a certain telepathy spell enter his mind and decides to let it.

"Master, it is done. The tracker is already on him." said Ilgor from the other side.

"Good. Make sure to keep observing him. Tell me if he does something suspicious." replied Angus in his mind.

"As you wish, Master." replied Ilgor before cutting off the telepathy.

With the addition of Mira and Darren, Ilgor is left behind with the rest of the Sur knights. Hence, Angus gives him some job to spy on the Nergal or other forces inside the Craghost while they are doing their test.

However, his stealth and spying skills are worse than kids playing hide and seek. Angus gives him some recently created magic tools to help Ilgor spy on others. Some magic tools can use telepathy spells to him at a certain distance.

During their journey from the capital city, Angus has too much free time besides refining his chi or fighting inside his system. Since there are Royal Guards and Sur knights in their party, their journey is relatively safe and boring.

Therefore, he often tinkers with magic tools or creates something. Unlike mechanical and alchemical products, magic tools rely heavily on runes. He didn't need special tools to create it. All he needs is the undisturbed concentration when scribing and calculating the runes.

Recently, Angus gives Ilgor a task to track Roy, who is still hiding in the hotel where the Nergal delegation stays.

As they arrive at the plaza, they attract everyone's attention. Apparently, the news about the Krugguar Emperor avoiding the Eternal Kingdom had already reached here. Although Twilbo's mist is still too thick to venture, it doesn't disturb people using their communication devices.

Most of the communication devices in Firuman is work on short distances but hardly able to be disruptive. Firuman has many areas with an extreme conditions where a lot of disturbance happens.

Therefore, communication devices are developed to cope with this condition rather than to cover large distances. Although it is called short distance, it is still large enough to cover the distance from Craghost towards outside the forest.

As long as the user didn't use it in a high distortion area such as near the Nirvas entrance, they could communicate without problem.

Receiving the news about Krugguar Emperor's movement, all the forces in the Craghost town know it is connected with the new Vampire King and his mysterious silver-haired master. Some even try searching for more information about these two people.

They also wonder what their relationship is with the Heart Kingdom. However, these forces also couldn't move carelessly. Everyone knows this area is near the Heart Kingdom's border. Moreover, a new strong seventh grade combatant also stayed at the border.

One wrong move and their life will end without being able to ask for help. Moreover, their force didn't have the power to antagonize the Heart Kingdom, which had two seventh-grade combatants with massive amounts of resources from the Miasma Antidote sale.

Even if they had enough power to overcome the Heart Kingdom, they still needed to travel a large distance or couldn't spare this kind of military power for such a small matter. In the end, all these people could only spy on them from afar.

Fortunately, Angus and the others were already used to this situation. They also didn't need to wait long as the Makar and the examiner group came out from the mist. Unlike before, there is another person along with their group.

An old man wearing colorful clothes with a unique style and barefoot walking beside them. Seeing the old man, the surrounding people begin to retreat while the stronger one stays on their guard. This old man is none other than Baldur, the mad king of the Mocan Kingdom.

"Ohh… It's as lively as always. Kekekeke…" laughed Baldur in a strange manner.

"Tch… Just do your job, Baldur." said Yawan as he tired of entertaining the Mad King.

"Bohoo… Boring!!" said Baldur.

Suddenly, Baldur takes a horse stance and stomps hard on the ground. The whole area begins to tremble [Earth Power - Rocky Hill]. *GRRTTT* Suddenly, two large rocky hills appeared in the misty mist, replacing the older one.

"Huff… [Compress]" shouted Baldur as he closed his fist.

Suddenly, the two rocky hills begin to get smaller and crystallize into some kind of mineral hills than the rocky hills.

"Two hills ready to serve. Did you need some extra sauce?" asked Baldur as if he was serving food to a customer.

Elder Yawan didn't reply and only held his forehead while releasing a sigh. Since the previous rocky hill is destroyed by Anna and Mira, they need to rebuild it.

Not only is the rocky hill important for a natural defense against invasion, but it is also to cut down the number of people who do the test. Otherwise, too many people will be trying to do the test entrance from all over the Firuman.

Fortunately, the Twilbo Woods is still enveloped by thick mist, preventing others from coming to the town. Even If they can pass through the forest, they are worthy of taking the test.

However, the thick mist could be gone at any moment. Therefore, the Altras need to fix the rocky hill as soon as possible.

Still, the rock is very hard to rebuild, even by some earth elemental experts. During this moment, the Altras elders remember a certain Mad King who is the leader of the Mocan Kingdom that entered their kingdom not too long ago.

The Mocan Kingdom is one of the best kingdoms for building things from Earth material. They even have many famous architects and engineers as their citizens. Even a large number of Dwarf races are living in the Mocan Kingdom.

Among them, the Mad King Baldur is the best builder in the Mocan Kingdom. The Altras elder decides to employ him to rebuild the rocky hill. Unfortunately, King Baldur is too crazy in the head and asks for too many unreasonable things.

The Altras thought their entrance test was not as ridiculous as Baldur's request. Elder Yawan still remembers Baldur's request to hold a blind date meeting along with all the old elders against some beautiful young Altras.

After finishing his job, Elder Yawan gives five simple entrance tests to Baldur and sends him back to Nirvas. The entrance test is the rule that even Altras couldn't violate. Everyone that comes out from Nirvas needs to do the five tests.

Fortunately, as the examiner, Altras could manipulate the test content and give easy tests to anyone. The only reason Makar still gives a hard test to Angus' group is to entertain Mira and her new friend.

He knows all of his tests are nothing if she decides to take them seriously. Same as last time, Angus' group gives 100 grade four or above monster corpses to the examiner for checking. This time they didn't have trouble and successfully finished the third test.

Seeing the pile of monster corpses nearby, "Hoh.. Hoh.. Turn these monsters into food and eat it Hoh.. Hoh…" declared Makar.
