Chapter 573 Threaten

"But, how come it always shows these error words if it works properly?" asked Seven Faces Disgust.

"Dungeon is a very complex ecosystem that takes a lot of time to be formed. Despite this dungeon being an artificial one, it is still a working dungeon with the same complex mechanism. The complexity is too unpredictable and constantly changes."

"Sometimes, it could even affect the surrounding area around the dungeon and create a miracle such as making a lush forest in the middle of a dry desert."

"I guess something is affecting the dungeon core and completely changing its mechanism than it should be." explained Angus.

"Besides, where did you get such a magic item?" asked Angus.

"That's…. We get it from the Brain of Nirvas Nabe." replied Seven Faces Disgust.

"Nabe?!! *Sigh* If it is that crazy woman, it makes sense. She probably let your group use it so she could collect data for her research or something." said Angus as he remembered the Red Queen's habit.

Angus still remembers how enthusiastically the Red Queen asked him for the Plargos' plague before.

"T-That's impossible. We steal it without her knowing!!" retorted Seven Faces Disgust.

"Seriously?! Did you think you could steal something from seventh grade without them knowing?" asked Angus rhetorically.

"Ermm… But…" replied the Seven Faces Disgust but also knew it was a ridiculous claim.

"*Sigh* Did you know our leader, King Leon, is also in seventh grade? With his perception, he could easily cover this whole Redmore Capital city and he does not even specialize in that area or even magician with a powerful mind." said Angus.

"Now, tell me… Did you really think the Brain of Nirvas Nabe, who is not only a seventh grade but also someone with a very great mind, will not notice your little thieving?" asked Angus again.

"Err.. No." said the Seven Faces Disgust weakly.

"B-But… Why did she let us have those magic tools or even use them?" asked the Seven Faces Disgust.

"Who knows? Maybe she is too fed up with your kingdom? Maybe she is crazy in the head? Besides, it is not the first time she created something that brought mass destruction like this. It is even a miracle that Nirvas still exist like now." said Angus.

"W-What did you mean?" asked Seven Faces Disgust confusedly.

"You really don't know, huh? In Firuman, she is a very famous person for being responsible for killing at least half of the total population and for many of the kingdoms' destruction." Angus.

"T-That's…" said Seven Faces Disgust.

"Why? I believe she replied why not when I asked the same thing yesterday. If I were you, I would stay away from her as much as possible." said Angus.

"Alright, enough talking about her. Since the dungeon is changing, we could only hope to find the exit as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will be forced to make our way out." said Angus.

"Forced? How?" asked the Seven Faces Disgust.

"By using force. Of course. But I would rather not do this as it may make this dungeon more unstable. We don't want this dungeon to suddenly crack and be destroyed while we are inside of it, right?" said Angus.

"I see…" replied the Seven Faces Disgust shortly.

"If you plan to kill those three elders, I suggest you stop it." added Angus.

"Huh?? Why?!! Did you also side with those bastards?!!" asked the Seven Faces Disgust aggressively.

"I am not on anyone's side. I only side with myself, my family, and my love." said Angus while glancing at Jayna and Anna with a smile.

"As you know, the dungeon is going weird. Currently, the strongest monster we find is fifth grade. It takes almost everything we had just to kill it in the previous battle."

"Now, we have Onyx to protect us, but who can guarantee that stronger monsters will not appear in the future." said Angus.

"F-Fine." said Seven Faces Disgust after gripping her hand tightly.

"Don't worry. I will also ask those three the same thing once they wake up. I believe they are not stupid enough to antagonize me. Otherwise, I will show them what true fear feels like." said Angus

The Seven Faces Disgust didn't reply, but she kept looking at Angus silently. This reaction was noticed by Jayna before she sent a sharp glare at Angus.

"Hmph!!" harrumphed Jayna while pouting, which made Angus confused.

"Anyway, you rest first. We need every power if we want to leave this dungeon alive." said Angus as he walked away.

"S-Sure." muttered the Seven Faces Disgust.

'Oh My God!! One Father!! Nirvas!! All the Gods!! W-Why is he so cool and handsome!! No.. No.. he is only human. B-But… Is this what they call forbidden love?' thought the Seven Faces Disgust as she is completely infatuated with Angus.

On the other hand, Angus didn't walk to the other Altras group as the three elders were still unconscious. He decided to approach the crown prince Eric first.

Seeing the approaching Angus, "Angus!! You traitor!! Release me this instant!!" yelled the crown prince.

Suddenly, Angus disappears from his spot and appears in front of Eric with [Beast Walk]. His expression is very cold. There is not even his usual playfulness. Eric was startled at such action and tried to retreat back, but the chain held him down tightly.

"Take care of your mouth, Eric. I hear most of the death comes from the mouth." said Angus while his dark eyes peered into the crown prince's blue eyes.

Eric feels like seeing a deep bottomless abyss as it slowly encroaches on him.

"W-What are you going to do?!!" asked Eric while trying to act brave.

"Let's cut the case. I may not be able to kill you since I owe King Leon many things. Although most of the time, he is the one that forces me. I still recognize all his support during these few years." said Angus while clutching Eric's cheeks.

"However, I could make your entire life so painful that death seems a better choice. Now, I want you to choose words carefully like a civilized man. I don't want you to try to become my superior or even oppose me until this journey ends."

"Any of these single mistakes will give you punishment which you will not want to experience. Even after we reunited with Aunt Extalia, you will not be safe from me. Remember this, Eric. True respect is earned, not given." said Angus before moving away.

During this time, the nearby conscious knights could only pretend to not hear or see Angus' actions. They didn't even dare to look in Angus' direction. The Young Baron is leaking a killing intent that they thought Angus would kill the crown prince.

On the other hand, Jayna didn't say anything or care about it while holding the mischievous Anna. The gluttony girl eats the monster's core while Jayna takes care of her. After walking not far from everyone, they look at the rampage Onyx in the distance.

"I hear that the beast could easily recover by eating the monster. But I don't know if Onyx could recover his mana this fast by disgesting monsters. It is like he could keep fighting as long as there is a monster to eat." said Angus.

"It's her!! Onyx is female!!" retorted Anna while eating.

Ignoring Anna's words, "Zokline is an ancient snake beast that was often called the embodiment of gluttony in the past. They are not called the descendants of World Eater for nothing." said Jayna.

"Wait.. Descendant of World Eater?!! How did you know about it?" asked Angus.

"Fire Phoenix has some knowledge about them. Though, she has never met such a beast since it is very rare." said Jayna.

"How come you never told me or informed me about this?" asked Angus.

"Because you never ask about it. Also, there is too little knowledge about Zokline in Fire Phoenix's memory. I couldn't even know what this World Eater was. But I know it is a very powerful beast since I have this kind of fear whenever I try to look for it." said Jayna.

"I see… Well, too much knowledge also leads to more problems. Isn't that right, Head Ambassador Phineas?" said Angus while looking at his shadow.

Suddenly, Phineas slowly comes out from inside Angus's shadow.

"I don't know that the Head Ambassador could use [Shadow Stealth], a very secret skill that is only known to shadow squat." said Angus.

"Baron Victory flatters me too much. I only learn it by chance. Still, I am surprised Baron Victory was able to detect me." said Phineas.

"You are lucky, Phineas. Otherwise, you will be riddled with holes when you are inside my shadow." Angus said casually.

Phineas didn't reply and could only bow his head. He has already hidden in Angus' shadow since the fight with the monster horde began. He knows better than to not antagonize the young Baron. Moreover, Angus dared to blatantly threaten the crown prince in front of everyone.

Phineas knows this kind of person is either insane or confident in his power. Judging by the previous fight, he knows Angus is the latter. It is not easy to fight a monster horde with only eighteen knights and some injured Altras, even for a half hour.
