I Just Want A Peaceful Life Chapter 184
Advertisement
Hearing the oldest ancient king's explanation, all the other ancient kings could help but sigh helplessly as they could not take them as their heir.
After countless years of waiting, they finally could find the best heir candidate only to find that someone already snatched them.
Apparently, all of these ancient kings are waiting for the best candidate heir to inherit all of their legacy and power before they could truly pass on.
Even after choosing many heir candidates, none of them managed to inherit all of the legacies they left behind or use their ancient power to their fullest capability.
It feels like the world itself deemed that their power and legacy are too strong. So, they could only wait silently for the right person to arrive and inherit their power.
Yet after finding the most excellent heir candidate, they are once again disappointed as they cannot take them as their heir.
After long silent contemplation, the ancient kings decide to give Angus and Jayna their blessing and ancient power. As for how it will affect the world, they didn't care too much about it since they already died a long time ago.
In total, there are seven ancient kings in this chamber, along with the oldest ancient king, who should be the strongest among them. Each of them has their own unique ancient power.
After receiving the blessing and their ancient power, Angus and Jayna couldn't help but be shocked at the new power that they get. Just by using the basic ability of the ancient power, they feel that their combat capability has already risen significantly.
Each of the ancient powers that they receive truly has the potential to change the world. Instead, change it more accurately to shape the world. However, their mastery over these new power is still very low, and they could only use the most basic ability.
After digesting their ancient power along with the sudden influx of information about them, Angus begins to remember the time limit of the inner area.
Looking at the wristwatch, he found that there were already less than one hours before the inner area closed.
"Jayna, we need to go now. There is only one hour left before the inner area closes." said Angus.
"Ohhh… It seems we take more time than we previously thought. However, don't worry about it. Although I can't send you directly to the outside world, I could send both of you near the exit gate." said the oldest ancient king.

"This is also a good way for the two of you to learn the true capability of my ancient power. Watch carefully, young one. [The World]" said the oldest ancient king.
Then it feels like time has started to stop from the oldest ancient king sculpture, an invisible wave that only Angus and Jayna could feel reverb through the whole area.
A moment later, the space becomes distorted and envelopes both of them. Before they know it, they already arrive near the stone pyramid. Despite being teleported, there is not even a speck of discomfort like using [Shadow Blink] or teleportation device.
"T-That's absurd. What kind of power is that?!! It breaks all the common sense!!" rambling Draven while inside Angus's shadow.
After Angus gets his consciousness, Draven decides to rest in his shadow as his body is still weak from the pain he got during Angus fading away. However, he wakes up as he feels an enormous power that should be impossible to replicate.
Although it looks like simple teleportation, instead of using its own power to teleport, Angus and Jayna feel the space itself is teleporting them.
There is a vast difference concept between these two powers. The first one uses its own power to affect and tear the space, while the latter uses the space to teleport both of them. It feels like comparing an artificial product with nature itself.
After a while, Angus and Jayna shake their heads, and Draven mad rambling. Then, they begin to run towards the pyramid exit.
Although they want to keep learning and unravel the true might of this ancient power, they need to get out of this place as soon as possible first otherwise, they will be trapped for one year inside here.
Not only trap, based on the ancient king's explanation, but they may also need to fight all the deceased ones that inhabited this place. So, staying inside this place is a suicide.
Fortunately, during their stay in the Ancient King chamber, they managed to rest a little bit and regenerate some mana and stamina. This way, they could still run at a fast speed towards the pyramid.
Arriving at the pyramid perimeter, Angus and Jayna begin to hear many sounds of battle around. Hearing that Angus didn't hesitate to use [Great Mana Echolocation], he found out that a dozen people blocked another group.
"You should just surrender, young master Neil. You may be talented, but there are more of us. We will never let you go back easily." said one of the group.

"Tch.. cowards!! If you want to fight, fight like a man one by one!!" shouted Neil with the other Sur youngster.
Not only does Neil's group have this kind of conflict, many other people who want to exit the inner area are also getting ambushed. Still, most of them didn't succeed, while only a minority of them managed to kill and loot the treasure from the corpse.
Ignoring the others' battle, Angus told Jayna about the current situation, which made Jayna frown.
After a moment, "I think we should help that Neil. This is to repay uncle Jade for his help during our stay." said Jayna.
"Huft... Alright, let's help him." said Angus before running towards Neil's direction.
Arriving at Neil's location, The blocking group is already surrounded and suppresses the Neil group. Without wasting any more time, Angus shoots a few [Fireball] towards the blocking group. *Bom* *Bom* *Bom*
"What the?!! Ambush!!" said one of the blocking groups.
Using this opportunity, Neil's group decided to break through the encirclement.
Looking at this, "Tch.. Ignore the others, we must prevent Neil from getting away. We can't let him escape!!" said one of the blocking groups.
At this time, a flash of fire appeared in front of the blocking group in the blink of an eye [Fiery Burst]. Without hesitation, Jayna begins butchering the other people using her fiery sword. *Slash* *Slash*
All the nearby people get slashed by Jayna like a hot knife cut butter [Ancient Power - Hellfire]. Jayna uses one of the ancient powers [Hellfire]'s basic ability to raise her fire sword temperature.
Combined with her fire phoenix ability to be immune to fire, she could raise her fire sword temperature to the point of almost reaching her own [Sacred Fire] skill.
Some people decide to fight Jayna, but her sword temperature is scorching hot and easily destroys the other party's weapon.
Jayna looks like an embodiment of a cold murderer chopping meat than people. It only takes one slash to kill one person. None of the people could stop Jayna's momentum. In just half a minute, she already killed more than half of the people from the blocking group.
"T-This is fire mastery!!" said the leader of the blocking group before he decided to attack Neil at his last attempt to complete his mission.
Unbeknown to him, the ground below Neil suddenly rises and gives him some breath from the other attacker [2nd Circle - Earth Wall].
Looking that Neil managed to get away while an unstoppable fire sword chased their group, the leader becomes more resolute to kill Neil.
"Break the Earth Wall!!" yelled the leader.
At this moment, many pointed spikes appear from the surrounding earth wall's stone ground towards the surrounding [2nd Circle - Earth Spike]. Unlike a few weeks ago, Angus's proficiency in spells is many times higher than before after a few weeks of rigorous training.
He could cast the same spells a few times at once without getting fatigued. As the blocking group retreats from the Earth Spike, Jayna uses this opportunity to butcher them in mid-air.
The ancient power [Hellfire] also increases the explosion speed of Jayna's Flame Burst many times than before, making her similar to a human jet.
Fortunately, Jayna could control her body to react and adapt to her new speed without losing her combat capability. Otherwise, she will never control her speed and only hit many obstacles.
Looking at Jayna's adapting to her new power quickly, Angus couldn't help but feel proud of his girlfriend and his own teaching. However, he also did not stay still and let her take the others. Looking from afar, he begins to calculate and predict all their movements.
Normally, he needs a little bit of effort to use this kind of ability. But, he just got an ancient power that seems perfect to him [Analyze]. An ancient power to help the mind analyze everything based on the user's knowledge.
Using [Analyze] combined with his vast fighting experience, he could easily predict the group's movement before they even realize it. Without wasting any more time, Angus immediately chants to cast a spell.
During this time, the leader realizes their chance to kill Neil is almost zero, especially with the magician hiding in the perimeter and an unstoppable girl wielding a butchering fire sword.
"Tch… Retread.. Back to the portal exit!!" shouted the leader.
A wide-area magic diagram appears below their ground [3rd Circle - Quagmire].
