I Just want a Peaceful life

801  Mysterious Fog

"*Cough* *Cough* Urgh… Huft... Huft… Damn, I got careless." muttered Patimura with a grim expression.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* As the frozen cracking continues, Patimura notices a familiar frost giant Gram that he fought during the initial Gram Wave before. This Gram monster is the one that made a sneak attack on him.

Normally, it is impossible to sneak attacks on sharp people like Patimura. However, his body's sense and instinct is numbed to a certain degree. Forget about detecting the monster's sneak attack. He couldn't even sense his surroundings.

Be it the frozen ice ground or the chilly mist, he couldn't sense them at all. He feels confined inside murky water. Moreover, he finds the current fifth Gram is acting weirdly. These Grams are too intelligent to even play a good battle tactic against him.

He feels another high-grade Gram beside the ice bird, the frozen giant, and the mysterious big salamander Gram that controls behind the scenes. Furthermore, the current appearance of the fifth-grade Gram giant is making him sure of this matter.

Previously, the Gram giant appeared to be a humanoid jagged ice block with many big sharp claws. His body is almost translucent, like the frozen water below them.

If it were not for its red vein in his chest and the white snow piling up on his body, everyone would think this Gram is the manifestation of an ice elemental creature or something similar.

Now, this Gram appearance has drastically changed. Its body is covered with thick potent miasma like a pitch-black obsidian. Patimura knows that despite its unique ability, Gram is still a monster capable of releasing and using miasma.

However, newborn Gram can't control Miasma to this degree. At most, they could only release a half-decent [Miasma Blast]. Controlling and manipulating miasma needs a lot of practice and effort.

It is not just something that could be done with racial talent or instinct like their racial ability. This is also Patimura and Guardian's significant advantage when dealing with Gram.

Although they are monsters, these Gram rarely use their deathly miasma more than their ice or fire elemental attack. With magical places like Everwhite Basin, they could only use their ice elemental attack. This drastically lowered their combat prowess.

Now, this ice Gram can somehow wield miasma as if he already used it for years. This is a different move than when he fought against it previously.

'Someone is controlling them?!! But, who? Wait… I hear the monster-minded capable of leading monsters like those monster overlords. Don't tell me this is their doing?! Did they still harbor a grudge against me?' thought Patimura inwardly.

"Hmph!! No matter what it is, I will not fall down easily. [Mandraguna Two]" said Patimura as his body was enveloped by a dimly yellow light.

If Angus and Jayna know his thoughts, they will immediately be disgusted by Patimura's behavior. Not too long ago, he said he would do anything for Phoenix and even it cost everything for him.

Yet, Patimura still struggles and fights despite somewhat guessing about Anna's involvement. Bathed in the yellow light, all the corrosive potent miasma in his body is purified. His wound healed at a fast rate in just a few seconds.

Still, the other party also did not give Patimura time to recover. The flurry of corrosive tongue attacks launched at him from all directions as the Ice Giant Gram approached him like a bull.

Fortunately, this is also an opportunity for Patimura. Using the clumsy big Gram's body, he took cover and dodged the corrosive tongue attack easily. This situation also makes Patimura sure about his previous analysis.

Despite being capable of wielding miasma properly, the ice giant still lacks experience. Although it continuously learns according to its sharp instinct, it could never be compared to Patimura's battle experience.

Not only is its movement too clumsy, it couldn't even make a good battle decision against his feint. Such a monster definitely couldn't plan a complex sneak attack like before. Now, he could use this ice giant to break through this mysterious thick fog.

During this moment, "One Cupid flying away~ Fly~ Up high~ and down~" a familiar childish weird song was heard again across the chilly mist.

Suddenly, Patimura notices something approaching from up high in the sky. He decisively moved to the side as fast as he could. *BOOOM* A moment later, the ice ground trembles as Patimura finds a pitch-black giant salamander landing on his previous spot.

Magically, with the appearance of the salamander monster, the previous ice giant is gone without a trace. At this moment, the giant salamander opens its mouth widely and releases countless weird-shaped monsters.

Some have a fish as the head and body and stand with humanoid legs. If Angus and Jayna see these monsters, they will immediately recognize them as the monsters inside Anna's special drawing book.

Facing the sudden burst of monsters of various sizes, Patimura didn't falter and raised his double axe up high before swinging it down with powerful force [Zigurat - Smelt Burst].

*BLARRR* An enormous heat wave swept over these monsters and melted them beyond recognition. Seeing his devastating move, Patimura only felt more gloomy than before. He knows how much power he released during his previous attack.

He actually wants to find another path to break through this mysterious fog. However, he discovered his attack barely approaching the giant salamander and couldn't even leave a scratch on it. His burning flame also slowly extinguished as if swallowed by the darkness in the area.

At this moment, he feels a small presence from behind him. Before he can attack this small presence, his left arm is already torn off without resistance. The sharp pain immediately hit his body as he created a distance from his previous spot.

Unfortunately, The thick fog made it hard for him to see the perpetrator. He couldn't even see its silhouette or rough figure. It is as if his left arm is cut off out of nowhere. Patimura feels a deep fear towards this mysterious opponent for the first time.

He couldn't see and detect her, but she could hurt him as much as she wanted. Patimura feels like being played by the other party. Then, a childish female voice was heard through the entire thick fog.

"Use fire once again and I will tear two more limbs. It is not for someone with that filthy blood to use." said the mysterious perpetrator.

'Fuck?!! It is really her!! I need to get out of this place first!!' thought Patimura before escaping randomly.

Patimura didn't know why monster-minded people like Anna would care about the grudge of Phoenix. Still, seeing the close relationship between her and Jayna before, he knows there is a chance she is influenced by Jayna.

Although Patimura doesn't know the true power of Anna, he still knows it is a bad idea to fight monster-minded people while being surrounded by high-grade monsters. Even with [Mandraguna] skill, he may even have lost his life.

As he tried to run away, a cold freezing gust approached him again. Learning from his previous mistake, Patimura immediately employs [Mandraguna One] to make his entire body invincible while keeping his vigilance for another sneak attack.

At this moment, he sensed something from his back, not far from him. The sneak attack was actually coming from behind him. A dozen [Miasma Blast] with various sizes and concentrations are launched at him at once.

"Fuck!! [Mandraguna three]." roared Patimura as he couldn't dodge these strong fast attacks.

A bright yellow light covers Patimura's body and shines through the dark thick fog. At this moment, Patimura also manages to see dozens of unknown monster silhouettes inside the mysterious fog.

Among the monsters is a silhouette of a small girl sitting on top of the giant salamander playfully. Ignoring these monsters, Patimura immediately rushed out in another direction at a fast speed.

*WHOOOSH* In a few seconds, Patimura had already traveled a few kilometers away without stopping. Yet, he still finds his surroundings are the same thick fog and hard frozen ground.

No matter how far he runs, all he can see is this thick mysterious chilling mist. He feels like this fog is following him wherever he goes.

"What did you want?!! Are you trying to avenge those phoenixes?!" roared Patimura in frustration.

Any sane and calm seventh grade will also get distressed under such a situation. His left arm is missing and he can't sense everything around him, like becoming a blind man all of a sudden.

Rather than answering Patimura's distress, the other Anna continues singing her weird song.

"One two soul is up~ Three Four falls from dragon~ Five six crushed like crystal~ Seven eight reborn by the darkness~" The other Anna sang another weird song.

A moment later, Patimura notices a pitch-black monster approaching him slowly. It has a disfigured body and big closed eyelids on its front body. Despite having a numbing sense, Patimura could feel the dreadful and death aura emitted from the monster.

However, he focuses on the monster's dozen hands holding two human heads. He finds the two human heads wearing the guardian's helmet style.

Finding the familiar face from the bodiless head, "Argghh!!" roared Patimura angrily.

"London Bridge is falling down. Falling down, falling down. London Bridge is falling down. My fair lady." - London Brigde.
