With the loss of their people, the village leaders know that their alliance has ended. Even if they send reinforcements from their own village, it will only create more casualties. Rather than gaining profits, they may kill themselves.

All the combatants that died in the desert are elites that are hard to cultivate and require many resources to nurture them. As a result, they may endanger their own village rather than destroying the Sur village.

Unlike Sur village, the other villages are located in a territory with some small villages or groups. They need to constantly maintain the power inside the territory, or the others will overthrow them.

The Sur village is located inside the Surya desert, which lacks any other group or small village living in the Surya desert. Henceforth, Sur village could fight with all their strength without caring about the repercussions.

Still, nothing is certain in the Endless Battlefield dimension where there is chaos happening all around. Like in this incident, just the aftermath between Angus and the monster overlord could devastate the whole army of the four big villages.

It is not surprising that all of them will die under the monster overlord or high-grade beast the next day. This incident reminds everyone how dangerous this treacherous land is.

While the four big villages recuperate themselves, Jayna is worried about Angus's safety inside the Sur village camp. The ambush team and Angus's infiltration team arrived safely at the Ancestral Ruin before the shockwave came.

However, she didn't find Angus among them. She believes that Angus is still alive since the contract between Ilgor and him still works.

Even though Angus also contacted Jayna not too long ago and told her that he was fine. She still couldn't help but worry, especially after looking at the devastating shockwave that trembled the whole Ancestral Ruin.

As for the perpetrator himself is currently walking back to Ancestral Ruin with Anna holding his hand. Currently, Angus is wearing a set of new clothes with his cloak and boots artifact while Anna is wearing an overgrown shirt that is too big for her body.

Angus didn't have any girl's clothes and decided to give his clothes to Anna. Her ragged slave's clothes before are not suitable for her anymore, and it is better to wear his clothes for the time being.

Looking at Anna's appearance, "*Sigh* I hope there are still clothing merchants in the ancestral ruin." said Angus.

Meanwhile, Anna seems didn't care about her appearance and keeps enjoying walking with Angus like in some kind of recreation park. In reality, rather than a recreation park, they walk in the scorching desert. Still, none of them care about the heat.

During the journey, Angus notices that his clash with the Darkwing Bat Monster Overlord is devastating towards the surroundings. He even finds that the other village camp is completely gone, with many obliterated corpses in it.

Angus speculates that the other village's leader must abandon all the poisoned combatants and run for their lives when they hear the monster overlord's roar.

"I hope the ambushing team and the others are okay." muttered Angus in a low voice.

After a few hours later, they finally arrive at the Ancestral Ruin entrance. Angus immediately went towards Sur village camp. Along the way, he could feel a few people spying on him. The news about his arrival soon spread throughout the entire place.

While on the way towards Sur Village camp, Angus found a fiery crimson light approaching him. Soon, Jayna arrives at Angus in the blink of an eye and hugs Angus.

"Angus!!" Yelled Jayna while tearing up.

Angus receives her embrace passionately before kissing her.

"I miss you, Jayna." whispered Angus in a low voice.

"Me too." replied Jayna.

In the meantime, Anna looks at the interaction between Angus and Jayna silently. After having their passionate time together, "You make me worried." said Jayna.

"Ehh.. Didn't I already tell the communication device that I am alright." said Angus.

"Yeah.. But, still..." During this time, Jayna notices Anna, who is standing beside Angus.

Anna looked intently towards Jayna.

"Ahh.. Jayna, this is Anna. She is…" said Angus.

Before he could say anything, "CUTE!!" exclaimed Jayna while hugging Anna.

Anna is surprised at being hugged by Jayna suddenly but doesn't fight back. In the meantime, Jayna keeps hugging Anna like some kind of doll.

'Err.. I guess she is fine with her.' thought Angus.

Realizing her blunder, "Ahh.. I am sorry. You are just too cute. What's your name, little girl?" said Jayna, releasing Anna.

"Emm.. Anna. Are you Angus's lover?" asked Anna bluntly.

"A.. Angus's lover? Y-Yeah.. sort of." said Jayna while blushing.

"I see… It means I don't need to kill you." said Anna innocently.

Hearing this, Angus could only sigh while Jayna had a shocked expression.

"Angus?? Who is this kid?" asked Jayna.

"Let's go back first. I will explain everything later." said Angus while looking at the surroundings.

Soon, they arrive at the village leader's tent. The moment Jade looked at Anna, he was surprised and glared at Angus, and Anna herself immediately hid from Jade's glare behind Angus like a shy girl.

Being glared at by Jade, Angus still keeps calm while patting Anna's head to calm her down. After looking at each other for a while, Jade finally released a sigh.

"Everyone left us alone. I believe Angus has an important story to tell me." said Jade.

Hearing this, everyone began leaving the tent reluctantly. Inside the tent, there are only Jade, Angus, Jayna, and Anna.

After having a long sigh, "I bet you know who she is, right?" asked Jade.

"Yeah, I know who she is." replied Angus.

"Then, why?! Why didn't you kill her?" asked Jade again.

"Why should I kill her?" asked Angus back calmly.

"Angus, she is a damn monster-minded person. Enemy of the world!!" Yelled Jade.

Hearing this, Jayna is also surprised at Anna's true identity while Anna hides behind Angus, afraid of Jade.

"How do you know? She is the enemy of the world?" asked Angus calmly.

"Because she is monster-minded. A smart person like you must know what they could do." replied Jade.

"So??" said Angus expressionlessly.

"So.." said Jade.

Before Jade finished his sentence, "Uncle, let me tell you. If you find a baby dragon, will you kill it?" asked Angus.

"Of course not. But, Baby dragon is different." replied Jade.

"Even if you know that the baby dragon will kill a lot of people and leave destruction when it grows up?" asked Angus again.

"T-That's… As I said, a baby dragon is different, and they could still be nurtured carefully and..." said Jade.

"Then, what is different with Anna?" asked Angus.

"Of course, different. She is a monster-minded person. She will do anything to destroy the world." said Jade.

"I see... Then, Anna, Are you going to destroy the world?" asked Angus towards Anna.

"Ermm… I.. I just want to stay with Angus." replied Anna.

"See.. She only wants to stay with me." said Angus with a smile.

"You.. Alright, you are right. But, she also didn't deny about destroying the world part." countered Jade.

"Right, and what will you do?" asked Angus.

"Of course, eliminate her before she becomes stronger." said Jade.

"Good idea, However, she is still a child and under my protection. If she is getting hurt during my protection, I may be the one that will destroy the world itself." said Angus coldly.

Looking at Angus's serious expression, "Angus, don't be stubborn. You should know all the history about this kind of person." Jade tries to reason with Angus.

"Even under good care, this kind of person will only destroy the world. Did you know one of the major criteria of becoming a monster-minded person?" asked Jade.

"It is to hate the world, right? That's why I plan to let her see the beauty of the world." said Angus.

"Angus, don't be stubborn." said Jade.

"I too.. I also hated the world before. I even started to pursue power just to end the world. However, I changed after I saw the beauty of the world." said Angus while looking at Jade intently.

"*Sigh* Fine.. Fine.. You could keep her. But, if she becomes a mindless monster. It will be your responsibility." said Jade.

"No, problem. At that time, I will be the one that will end her life. Right, Anna?" replied Angus.

"Yeah, Angus will kill me if I can't become a decision-maker." replied Anna with a smile.

'Cute!!' thought Jayna and couldn't help but hug Anna.

"*Sigh* Alright, this matter is over. Now, tell me what happens during the incoming monster overlord? And how could you survive the devastating shockwave?" asked Jade.

"Ahh.. About that. Actually, the shockwave is because of me. Hehehe.." replied Angus.

"Huhh?? What do you mean by that?" asked Jade.

"Have you ever heard of [Possession]?" asked Angus back.

"[Possession]?" replied Jade.

Then, Angus begins to tell Jade that he has a similar condition to the possession. After that, Angus explains a bit of his fight with the Monster Overlord that creates such a devastating shockwave.
