Ever since his strength attribute passed the 10 point mark, Angus' strength hardly improved with conventional training. No matter how harsh and long the training, he could never increase his strength.
The only way to increase his strength is by spending Soul Points. Previously, Angus thought this was normal since the human race without a mana core could only reach around this level of physical strength.
Any other conventional training will hardly affect this level. Hence, he didn't expect his strength to increase naturally, especially with his high current strength.
Calming his surprise, Angus decided to continue his climbing. He is eager to know if he can increase his strength again. If he could increase it, he may save a lot of Soul Points for another attribute.
Consider that a single increase will consume more than five thousand Soul Points and by the time it reaches 60 points, he needs more than ten thousand Soul Points to increase a single attribute.
His massive Soul Points will never be enough to keep his expenditure in the long run. Therefore, any single increase in the attribute is significant and precious to him.
As Angus and Jayna keep moving slowly, the elder becomes bold and starts to position themself in front of them but still avoids touching anything. This action may look futile, but it really annoys Angus and Jayna.
Moreover, they couldn't hear the elder's voice, making them look like clowns mocking the two high nobles. Still, their provocation is nothing for them. Unfortunately, the little monster didn't have the same patience and was annoyed by their actions.
"Annoying…" muttered Anna in a low voice.
At this moment, Anna is no longer cheerful or has her usual carefree attitude. Her face looks very cold and devoid of any emotion. This sudden change surprised everyone. Angus and Jayna know Anna will definitely do something absurd.
Before they could calm the little monster, "Anna." someone called her name from their side.
Attracted by the familiar voice, Anna stops whatever she plans to do and finds Mira on the flying pillow. Anna blinked her eyes a few times before returning to her carefree nature.
"Ahhh… Mira, when did you get here?! Didn't Mira say that Mira wants to read the book all day?" said Anna, jumping down from Angus' shoulder.
*Bam* *Bam* *Bam* Every step she takes will release a loud booming sound that shows the pressure is also affecting her. But, her movement is so casual, as if the pressure didn't affect her.
This casual movement immediately terrified all the nearby elders. They know how intense the pressure is at this level. They even forget about Mira, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Anna. angry." replied Mira with her usual doll expression.
"Mira is trying to cheer me up?? Mira is the best." said Anna as she jumped onto the flying pillow and hugged Mira.
The scene turns into a weird moment as they see a silver-haired little girl without expression get hugged by a black-haired girl on top of the flying pillow. Unfortunately, this scene comes to an end fast.
"Darren." called Mira.
Suddenly, Darren appeared beside them and flew in the air like the elder. Seeing the two silver-haired master and servant, the elders finally notice the identity of the other group. They immediately try to apologize, but Mira already says another word that seals their fate.
"Hateful." said Mira while pointing at the Elders.
As soon as she speaks this word, Darren's clothes change into red-colored armor and release a terrifying pressure on the surroundings. Without saying anything, he attacked the four elders without mercy.
"W-Wait…" said one of the nearby elders.
*BAMM* *Splat* Before the elder finished his sentence, his body exploded under Darren's fist. A sixth-grade Altras elder died in the blink of eye just like that.
Seeing their friend die without being able to fight back, the other elders decide to fight back against the powerful Ancestor Vampire.
Darren didn't give them time to think and attacked another Altras elder. *BAMM* *Splat* Same as before, another elder dies under Darren's fist.
*BOOOM* Just as he tried to attack another elder, a sword parried his gauntlet armor and created a massive shockwave nearby. The remaining two elders were thrown far away in the air from the intense clash.
Fortunately, Angus and Jayna are still under pressure from the monument that forced them to stay on their spot. Otherwise, they may be thrown away from the monument and fall down.
They didn't know if the pressure would be gone if they left the stone slabs, but they also didn't dare to test it. At this height, they will fall faster than a meteor that drops down from space. By that time, they could die even with their absurd regeneration.
"You dare to stop me again?!" said Darren coldly towards the familiar blind Altras.
"Master Darren, please let's talk about this first. There must be a misunderstanding." said Yawan as he struggled to hold Darren's fist.
"There is no misunderstanding. My Lady's will is absolute." said Darren before attacking the Yawan again.
Noticing the danger, Yawan decides to shapeshift, but he is no match for Darren's speed. *Sprrutt* In a moment, Darren disappears on the spot before appearing nearby and holding two arms in his hand.
"Arrghh!!" screamed Yawan in pain as Darren pulled his two arms roughly.
"Next time you stop me again, I will not be this lenient." said Darren with shining blood-red eyes.
Ignoring the pained Yawan, Darren disappears again and kills the remaining two elders who are still in a stupor. After killing the four elders, Darren bow and kneel in front of Mira like a loyal subordinate.
"It is done, My Lady." reported Darren humbly.
As usual, Mira didn't reply, only gave him a silent nod. Angus and Jayna are surprised at the sudden change in the situation. Still, they are more concerned about headaches and problems after this matter. Technically, this problem is caused by them and leads to the death of Nirvas' elders.
Even if Nirvas couldn't blame and attack Mira and Darren, they could still blame them or the Heart Kingdom later. It will definitely make the two neighboring kingdoms' relationship worse.
Noticing the couple's worries, "Yawan, I believe I don't need to tell you this. But, if Nirvas finds trouble for these two youngsters, then not even that old guardian could save you. These two people are quite favored by My Lady." said Darren.
"I think you should know what it means." added Darren in a cold tone.
"Urgh.. S-Sure. I-I will excuse myself first." said Yawan with difficulty before coming down to tend to his injury.
An injury to the Altras true body is excruciating. It is like getting hit in a sensitive area. Having his two arms ruptured by Darren gives him unimaginable pain, even for the seventh grade like him.
After Yawan disappears, Anna jumps out from the flying pillow and lands on Angus' shoulder carelessly.
"W-Wait.. Urghh!!" groaned Angus in pain.
He feels like his shoulder almost falls off. Fortunately, his body endurance is high enough to withstand the force.
"Alright, no more annoying flies. Up! Up! Let's move again." said Anna in a cheerful tone.
The two couples couldn't help but move again. Although they still worry about the Nirvas' reaction, they also want to continue climbing as they notice its benefit to their body.
While the couple continues their climb, everyone below is in chaos from Darren and Yawan's previous clash. Some weak-willed Altras even fainted from the spot, unable to withstand the terrifying pressure of a seventh grade.
'S-Seventh grade that is stronger than Elder Yawan?!! Just who are these people?' thought the guide Tylie while looking at Angus' group with fear.
Fortunately, the situation is handled carefully as a few Altras elders arrive and evacuate the whole area. A few arriving elders want to fight back but are stopped by Elder Tedar and the wounded Elder Yawan.
While all this is happening, some tiny insects with red color observe the whole incident before moving back with their insect group. At the same time, A female Altras is looking at the entire incident from a hologram video inside a deep underground laboratory.
"Interesting… I am certain both of them are around 18 years old from my previous observation. Yet, they could climb this high within a short time."
"They must possess a unique body to withstand that pressure." said Nabe with a smirk, completely ignoring the dead elders and wounded Yawan.
"Huh?? Aren't those the brats from before? Those two kids are extraordinary, right? Hahaha.. My gut is never wrong." replied Alder, who suddenly intruded into her lab.
Nabe glanced at the intruding lizard monster overlord for a moment before suddenly flying kick him in his stomach and sent him away from the room.
"How many times do I need to tell you to sanitize yourself before entering my lab?! Now, I need to sanitize everything in my lab again!!" yelled Nabe angrily.
Alder didn't get angry and released a laugh since her kick barely hurt him.
"Don't you dare touch anything and stay at your spot or I will skin you alive, stupid lizard!!" warned Nabe as she sprayed something on her lab.
