I Just Want A Peaceful Life Chapter 148

"So, are you also going to test me, father?" asked Angus towards his father.
Hearing this, the duke shook his head, "No, I trust you will survive." said Duke Jacob.
After saying that, "Jacob, this is not what we are talking about before. You promise to detain him before he goes into that dimension." said Cecilia, Angus's mother.
"Well, what else can I do? Even his majesty permits him to go into that dimension." replied the duke helplessly.
*Sigh* "Angus, my baby boy. Ignore him. You don't need to go into that dimension. You have already proven yourself enough." said Cecilia while trying to change Angus's decision.
During this past week, Angus had a clash with his parents about going to the Endless Battlefield dimension. Apparently, Duke Jacob's older brother is one of the participants of the Endless Battlefield. Yet, he could not come back until the portal closed down.
At that time, Duke's older brother Jacob sacrifices himself to make King Leon retread, which is also why King Leon and Duke Victory had a good relationship.
"I am sorry, Mother. But I have already decided on this. I feel I need to do this if I want to stand on the top." said Angus resolutely.
Hearing this, Angus's mother couldn't hold herself and tear up before going away.
Looking at Cecilia going away, "Don't worry about her. I will talk to her later. Here, this is for your protection." said Duke Jacob while giving Angus a pendant with the Victory emblem.
Looking at this, Jayna feels mixed emotions between sadness and delight. She is sad about forcing Angus to come into a dangerous location and away from his family. She is also relieved to have such a caring boyfriend.
In the end, she could only be silent and give Angus some space with his family. While Jayna has mixed feelings, Duke Jacob goes away to follow Cecilia after giving the pendant.
After looking carefully at the pendant, it is another storage device containing many supplies, weapons, armor, rune magic, and many more like Jayna's bracelet.
"I know you will still go despite my dissuasion. So, I can only say good luck, Brother." said Vergil while hugging his little brother.
"Don't worry. Besides, you know I am stronger than you already. I could take care of myself." said Angus.

"Tch.. Not for long, brother. Just you wait after I upgrade my grade, I will definitely beat you." replied Vergil.
"Then, you need to work hard, Brother." said Angus.
"May your heart guide you, Brother." said Vergil.
"May your heart guide you too, Brother." replied Angus.
Then, Angus looked at his oldest brother, Jason. After looking at each other for a while, "older brother Jason…" said Angus.
But, Jason cut out Angus's sentence. "Hush.. You better come back alive with the fourth princess. Otherwise, I will personally kill you." said Jason coldly.
Hearing this, Angus couldn't help but smile, "Sure, that's what I intend to do." replied Angus.
Before Angus turned back to Jayna, "Angus…" called Jason.
"Yes, brother?" asked Angus.
"May your heart guide you." said Jason while giving a formal Heart Kingdom salute.
"Yeah, May your heart also guide you too, brother." replied Angus while also doing the same thing to Jason.
Then, Angus comes back to accompany Jayna, who is feeling quite sad right now. Except for her father, her siblings didn't even come to see her.
Although she knows the relationship with her sibling has been quite distant in the last few years, she still hopes that her sibling or mother to show up. Looking at Jayna's silent expression, Angus knows that she is in some kind of low mood.
"Don't worry. I will never let you go even if you want to." whispering Angus to Jayna's ear.
This sudden action makes her startled and blushing while looking at Angus. However, Angus's upper body is still naked, and she becomes even more embarrassed looking at him.
"A-Angus.. How long will you stay half-naked like that?" said Jayna, who closed her eyes with her finger but still could see through the gap she purposely opened.
"Ahh.. No wonder it's kinda chilly." replied Angus before taking other clothes for him to wear.
After saying goodbye properly to their family, Ian and others go towards Angus's location with more determination, especially Millie, as she found that her father's condition is getting worse.
'It seems meeting their family increases their resolution more.' thought Angus silently.
Then, all of them move towards the dimension portal, which happens not far from their current location. The dimension portal happens to open in the middle of the highway. It is not big but also not small in size.

Because of the restriction to enter, it will repel anything except people below fifteen years old. King Leon applies a policy not to obstruct anyone who will enter the portal, so it is left with few soldiers to guard it.
Their job is not to guard the portal but notify the higher-ups about anyone that comes back from the Endless Battlefield dimension.
Since the portal's opening has been a few days, no other people will enter it besides the Angus group. At this time, even ordinary people and civilians will stay away from the portal because of its rumor and nickname as Monster Belly dimension.
Looking at the black-bluish portal that kept emitting strong mana, Angus looked at the others before nodding a silent reply.
"Yosh.. Let's enter the portal together." said Angus while holding Jayna's hand.
The others also start holding hands together, looking everyone ready. "Alright, on the count of three, we will enter together." said Angus to others while stopping in front of the portal.
"1.. 2… 3.. Now!!" said Angus while stepping inside the portal.
The moment everyone touches the portal, they feel a strong attraction force inside of it and immediately disappear from everyone's sight. *Zzzttzz*
Looking at his daughter entering the dimension portal, King Leon could only sigh silently in the air before disappearing towards the capital city. The other family also starts to be dismissed into their respective place.
On the other hand, Angus and others who go through the portal feel a strong distortion before slumping into the middle of the prairie. All of them feel nausea except for Angus, who has already got used to such distortion.
Arriving at the prairie, all of them immediately feel very thick mana in the air. The mana directly enters their body towards their mana core. All of them immediately felt hurt from the sudden gust of mana entering their body.
Instinctively, all of them sat on the spot and focused on stabilizing the chaotic mana inside their body. After a while, Angus opened his eyes as the first one that managed to stabilize his mana.
He immediately looked at the surroundings but found nothing but an endless green grassland. Without wasting any moment, Angus directly uses one of his signature skills [Great Mana Echolocation].
An invisible wave burst out from Angus towards the surrounding area. The waves keep going until a few kilometers away. Receiving feedback from his skill, Angus began to be solemn. But keeping his calm as the others are still trying to stabilize their condition.
After a few minutes, the others managed to stabilize their chaotic mana, starting from Jayna. Before they could feel awe at their improvement in mana, "Axel, what is our current location?"
Hearing this, Axel took out the magical map, and it immediately showed a blue dot that showed their current location. The magic map could only truly work after being inside the Endless Battlefield dimension.
Looking at the map, Axel immediately replied, "We are inside some kind of Grassland near the monster den."
Before going towards the Endless Battlefield, they already learn a few dangerous spots from King Leon's experience through Jayna. They managed to match some of the locations with the magical map.
"Right, Where is the exit?" asked Angus.
The magical map also shows the location of the portal exit with the red dot. However, they could see some of them are inside dangerous places like in the middle of a beast or monster habitat.
After a while, Angus and others decide to take a long route towards the farthest exit, but its location is more desolate than others.
Although their priority is finding the Fire Dragon Tongue herb for Millie, they don't know its location. So, they could only search for it while moving towards the exit.
Besides judging by the location, it will take a year or more to reach the exit if they didn't encounter anything on the way.
"Alright, now we will move in spearhead formation. Jayna will be in the front, Ian and I will be in the rear, Axel, Millie, and Mia will be in the middle back." command Angus.
"We will move slowly according to the route on the map. Also, I already scan the nearby. It seems some of the low-grade monsters are already detecting our location. We will avoid any confrontation with them unless it is necessary." explained Angus.
"Now, is there any question?" asked Angus towards the others.

Touching Stories Of The Sahaba (ra) ..
Stories have always been a great and powerful way to Learn, Understand & Motivate our Imaan (Faith). So why not learn and experience some of the Best Stories of Islam to inspire and understand the importance of our lives...One of the ideas that made me compile this book was that Muslim parents while going to bed at night, instead of telling myth and fables to their children, may narrate to them such real and true stories of the golden age of Islam that will create in them an Islamic spirit of love and esteem for sahabah, and thereby improve their Imaan..These stories are taken from various websites, lectures and books and are well researched..These stories are not intended as biographies, but rather to provide a glimpse of the main incidents of each companion's life.
