Chapter 709: 709 Perilous Situation



Despite witnessing many surprising scenes all over Undermine Council, Angus didn't dare to move carelessly or make a sudden conclusion, especially about Anna. Angus and Jayna know they still miss vital information about Anna's future.

For example, the true identity of Atonas and why he is attracted to their little family or the affinity that the monster-minded people talk about. Many things are still not clear. However, they still know that Anna will encounter bad things in the future.

According to the Phoenix's memory Jayna possesses, the Nateobil race needs to devour Phoenix's light and fire to grow. Otherwise, they will die.

Unfortunately, the information itself is not complete. It is unknown how much fire Nateobil needs to sustain or when they need it.

There is also monster-minded that needs to be factored in. Nateobil race is not monster-minded people. Anna's case is basically a unique mutation like any other monster-minded.

However, monster-minded people could enhance their racial traits or completely erase their weaknesses. Still, this is also not certain as monster-minded people are very secretive and no other people like Anna have recorded.

They don't know if monster-minded mutation could erase Nateobil's growth weakness or even make it worse. All they could do now was wait and enjoy their moment with their adorable naughty daughter.

Besides many surprising scenes and fights throughout the Undermine Council, Angus also tries to guess King Dumrod's purpose. However, he still cannot find any clue about it except that King Dumrod is adamant about building the tower.

Furthermore, Angus also finds King Dumrod no need for eight towers for his plan with his disregarding attitude toward his destroyed tower. King Dumrod also orders all the nearby dwarves back to the tower to help with the construction and ignore the monster-minded people.

He knows that monster-minded people are not something they can handle quickly, especially with their darkness and shadow ability. In this dark night, this entire area practically becomes the territory for the monster-minded.

Trying to catch all these mad people is like catching a mosquito or flies in darkness. Moreover, King Dumrod also didn't want the dwarves to go against the newcomer Alder who is currently playing cards with his hired people.

According to Angus' Great Mana Echolocation, he finds the dwarves somehow have a natural fear of dragons. He could still remember a bunch of fifth-grade dwarves and a few sixth-grade dwarves running like frightened dumb kids long ago.

Even now, most of these dwarves still have not recovered from the deep inner fear in their blood. From Angus' observation, their reaction is almost the same as a phobia brought through heritage.

However, all of this is not Angus' primary concern. Since the start of the lockdown, Angus' primary focus has been getting away from this place. The lockdown barrier is very powerful and strong. No one could get in and out of Undermine Council.

Not even Draven's absurd space ability could do it. His previous decision to join hands with Beastman from Savan is also an opportunity to get out of this place together. Unfortunately, before they could meet, the beastman had a massive conflict with the dwarves.

Although Angus knows Anna is somehow capable of teleporting outside using the power of darkness, he still doesn't want to use it until it is the last option.

He knows it is better not to rely on Anna on this particular matter. Unless Anna decides to offer herself to help, Angus prefers to find their escape on his own.

Besides, he knows monster-minded people like to have fun. Between staying in this place full of chaos and their usual boring palace in the capital city, Angus and Jayna could already guess which location Anna would prefer.

'Urgh.. This is troublesome. This barrier is completely absurd. Are these dwarves trying to create a massive scale vault or something?' complained Angus inwardly.

Angus tries to find any weakness in the barrier and finding it is completely foolproof. He was even surprised at such complicated barrier runes and enchantments all over the Undermine Council's inner wall.

'Hmm… Maybe Magen's corrosive poison could somehow weaken them? No… this is impossible. This sophisticated barrier must have integrated power. Unless I could cut off or completely deplete the power source, it will keep repairing itself.'

'However, this is also impossible to do. The power source is hidden and guarded and scattered all over the Undermine Council, with the biggest one near King Dumrod. I am not sure if they could back up or regenerate the other power source while the other is still intact.'

'Yup, judging by those mana circulations around the rune, it seems it is something that will do that. Damn!! This barrier is completely absurd!!' thought Angus in frustration.

"Mommy, did Daddy get sick?" asked Anna innocently while munching the roasted pork.

"No, Anna. Angus is trying to figure out something." said Jayna.

"Hmmm… But Daddy looks like eating poop. Did Daddy not get a stomach ache? Daddy, Daddy, did poop taste good?!" asked Anna playfully.

"Urgh… Anna, didn't I tell you not to talk when eating?!! And no talk about poop during a meal." replied Angus while pinching Anna's chubby cheek.

"Nooo… Anna will get wrinkled like an old hag." replied Anna playfully.

Despite her protest, she just smiles and enjoys Angus's playful pinch.

Meanwhile, Merra and Beastman's situation is getting worse. Most of the dwarves are of the warrior race. Even if most elite dwarves are ordered to help with the tower construction, many high-grade combatants are still among the ordinary dwarves.

Dwarves race is one of the races with a policy of letting all their people awaken their core. Therefore, every one of the dwarves has some ability to fight. Under the continued onslaught of these dwarves, the beastman slowly loses their end despite their high combat capability.

"Leader, we are completely outnumbered. The effect [Call of The Jungle] is slowly diminishing. At this rate, we are going routed." said an ape beastman, Elder Tokid.

"Tch… Regroup!! Go into formation B!!" ordered Merra decisively.

Despite her young age, Merra's battle experience in commanding is comparable with other old sixth-grade generals. She often led an army to war with their neighboring kingdom. She could make an instant decision without a single hesitation despite the chaotic situation.

Hearing this, all the nearby beastman from the Savan Kingdom immediately retreat to regroup. In contrast, the beastman from other places could only follow them along. This sudden movement gives the dwarves the opportunity to push the beastman back.

Suddenly, this grouped beastman released a thunderous howl together [Beast Roar]. *GROOARRR* The howl is deafening and creates a massive shockwave in the dwarves' direction.

Unfortunately, the dwarves' race has a naturally strong body and resistance. Combined with their superb armor, they are like a hard nut to crack open. Most of the dwarves could withstand the shockwave without any single injury.

*Swish* *Swish* *Swish* Just as the dwarves recovered from [Beast Roar], a few fast-moving and sneaky beastman launched sneak attacks and hit all the dwarves' vital points. Taking advantage of their staggered body, these dwarves are like weeds ready to harvest.

This situation happens repeatedly all over the battlefield. The beastman will use strong [Beast Roar] to stagger the dwarves for a moment while the nearby beastman kills them swiftly. This tactic entirely relies on the beastman characteristic as the half animal.

Most of the beastman could produce loud howling sounds and were also great at assassination, especially the cat-type beastman. Still, the dwarves that come to them are not just from one direction. Sometimes, they come from the air, earth, and other directions.

This all-around attack completely suppresses Merra and the other beastman. As time passes, more beastman fall despite already working as a group. Seeing this scene makes Merra completely furious and desperate.

"Elder Tokid, I will leave the command to you. I will open the path for everyone to retreat." ordered Merra resolutely.

Without waiting for others to respond, Merra enters the frontline and releases a series of strong attacks [Beastman Art 3rd Fang - Tearing Mark]. Merra's arm turns into a strong sharp claw that is butchering everyone in her way.

Seeing this, the beastman decides to join their strong leader, but Elder Tokid stops them and urges them to retreat. At this moment, all the beastman finally realize their current perilous situation. The beastman may be a warrior race and excel in combat.

However, they often lose themself in the heat of fighting and often forget about their current situation. There are some cases where they can still fight despite having broken limbs.

"What are you spacing out about?! Leader Merra couldn't hold them back for long. Hurry, retreat!!" shouted Elder Tokid to wake this beastman.

The beastman looks at Merra and their fallen comrade before gritting their teeth unwillingly. Although most of these beastman come from the Savan Kingdom, some are still from other kingdoms. However, their pride as beastman still didn't want to let these dwarves go.

Unfortunately, they also couldn't just waste their life in this place. After giving a silent nod to Merra, this beastman immediately scattered swiftly. As some people start to abandon the battlefield, more beastman join them and retreat under Merra's cover.

During this time, Merra was also pressured from all sides. Wounds keep opening from all over her body. At this moment, a few mighty hammers clash with her arm guard, throwing her into the nearby rubble. The dwarves launched another powerful attack to end Merra. *BOOOM*
