I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 273: Purification

"An unidentified Soul Artifact detected."

"Starting the integration process."

"[Corrupted Soul] detected in the Soul Artifact."

"Halt the integration process."

"Please purify the [Corrupted Soul] to continue the integration."

"Warning!! The [Corrupted Soul] may harm the host."

"Please purify the [Corrupted Soul] to continue the integration."

"Warning!! The [Corrupted Soul] may harm the host."

"Please purify the [Corrupted Soul] to continue the integration."

"Warning!! The [Corrupted Soul] may harm the host."

"Utilize the remaining Soul Point to block the [Corrupted Soul]."

"[Corrupted Soul] successfully blocked and lay dormant."

After reading the system log, 'Corrupted Soul?!! Damn.. This thing was really cursed. But, why did it seem to call me? I think I should ask these Soul Keepers to help me regarding [Corrupted Soul] since they know more about souls than me.' thought Angus.

Then, one of the Soul Keepers approaches Angus after they end their discussion.

"Young one, we, the soul keepers, have decided not to interrupt the worldly affair by letting you possess that relic and bring it out to the world.

"Besides, we also couldn't remove the relic easily. Unless we harm your precious soul, which is something we both don't want to happen." said the soul keeper.

"Err… I guess harming my soul will be detrimental for me. So, do you have any alternative way to get rid of this thing? Like doing some sort of operation or something?" replied Angus.

"Unfortunately, we can't remove it without harming your soul. We Soul Keeper may use soul power and manipulate souls, but we never damage any single soul as all of them are precious to us."

"Hmm… I see... Since you can't remove the relic, how about the Corrupted Souls in it? Can you purify them or take them out?" asked Angus.

"Hoo… It seems you also notice the Souls in it. Although we decide to let you keep relics, that doesn't mean we let you keep those souls in it. As you suggest, we will gladly help you to take away and purify those souls."

"However, the relic will become in the original state without those souls and may not function like before. Are you fine with that?" asked the Soul Keeper.

"Yes, besides, this thing is not part of my body in the first place. I will never be at ease knowing something unknown inside of me, much less these corrupted souls." said Angus.

"Alright, then please stand still for a while. This might hurt you a little bit." said the Soul Keeper as he nodded his head towards the other Soul Keeper.

All the Soul Keepers begin to surround Angus while keep chanting in an unknown language. Suddenly, the Soul Keeper's leader raises his wrinkled hands.

"Hos Fus Sur Fa Das Stor [Soul Vortex]." said the Soul Keeper Leader and shot a gray light towards the relic in Angus's chest. *BAM*

"URRGG…" exclaimed Angus.

Angus feels like his entire body is pricked with a nail for a moment before the pain suddenly goes away. Then, a burst of green energy comes out from the crystal towards the surrounding.

However, the Soul Keeper is ready and begins to manipulate all the Corrupted Soul towards the sky. Soon, a bright green light pillar appeared and pierced the sky.

At the same time, Angus feels like his every being sucked into following the released soul into the sky.

Before Angus rises slightly to the sky, the Soul Keeper cast [Soul Chain] to him. Unlike Millie's Soul Chain, Angus feels this [Soul Chain] chains his entire body and core. He couldn't even move his finger while bound with this Soul Chain.

After a few minutes, which feels like an eternity for Angus, all the Corrupted Souls in the relic are finally released into the sky. On the other hand, Angus feels exhausted beyond imagination. He couldn't even stay awake, even if he wanted to.

Before he falls asleep, he hears a few notifications from his Idle System.

*Ding* "[Corrupted Soul] no longer detected in the Soul Artifact."

*Ding* "Soul Artifact completely purified."

*Ding* "Continue the integration process."

*Ding* "Continue the integration process."

*Ding* "The integration process is complete.

*Ding* "New parameter added into the status panel."

After hearing all of these, Angus immediately falls asleep without any resistance. As soon as Angus falls unconscious, the soul barrier is lifted, and Jayna directly comes towards Angus's side.

"Don't worry, young one. He is only exhausted after the purification process. He will wake up soon." said the Soul Keeper

Then, one of the soul keepers approaches Millie while the other Soul Keepers ventures on their own. After Millie finished chatting with her master, everyone decided to go back to Porros to rest appropriately.

Arriving at the Porros, Jade and the others find countless monster corpses in the surrounding Porros. They even find a few Monster Overlord corpses and many colossal-type monster corpses.

Seeing all these corpses, 'Hmm.. it seems the monster wave this time is many times worse than before. With that kind density of mana the Endless Battlefield release, it is no wonder that many monster overlords are going rampage.'

'But, Porros is still standing despite receiving this kind of attack. There is even no monster managed to enter the city. No wonder there is no one dare to challenge Porros's authority even after hundred years.' thought Jade observing the surrounding.

After Jade reaches seventh grade, his perception is sharper than before. He could notice many things he couldn't see before. As his perception becomes sharper, his worldview is also slowly changing.

Arriving at the inn, everyone immediately goes to their room to rest. At the same time, Ian and Marko also rent a room in the same inn where everyone resides to rest.

A few days have passed since the opening of Endless Battlefield. During these few days, Porro city has become more calm and quiet. There are only a few people that are still in the street.

Currently, most of the people are still recovering from the battle with the monster horde. Unless they are seventh-grade combatants, most combatants need days or possibly weeks to recover from such a large-scale battle.

At the same time, inside Angus and Jayna's room. Angus finally awakened from his slumber.

"Urrghh… Damn, I never feel this tired." said Angus as he tried to wake up.

"Ahh.. Angus!! You are awake." exclaimed Jayna, who is staying beside Angus.

"Yeah, How long did I fall asleep?" said Angus.

"It's only a few days. Don't.. Don't ever do that again. What.. What if…" said Jayna while hugging Angus.

"Husshh… Jayna, I can't promise I will never do a dangerous thing again, but I promise I will never leave you alone. I will always stay at your side no matter what." said Angus as he kissed his princess.

After a while, Jayna called Millie to check Angus's condition since she was the only one who knew about the soul in their group. During this time, Angus decides to check his system log and his status panel.

Host: Angus Victory

Age: 15 Years Old

MP: 498/498

Chi: 376

Heritage chi: ???

Strength: 45

Dexterity: 45

Intelligence: 42

Vitality: 46

Soul Point: 0

Soul Reserve: 0

Besides his usual status, Angus finds a new parameter called Soul Reserve below the Soul Point. Like the first time, the system didn't offer any explanation besides the name.

After thinking for a while, 'Forget it. I will try to check it later. Right now, I am too lazy to do anything.' thought Angus.

Not long after that, Jayna comes with Millie into the room.

"Millie, please check Angus's condition." asked Jayna.

However, Millie seems to be afraid of Angus. Just as she wants to touch Angus's hand, she begins to remember the scene when she looks into Angus's soul. Millie immediately takes back her hand and distances herself from Angus.

"Err.. I don't think I need to check Angus's soul. Angus, do you feel any discomfort after waking up?" asked Millie with a forced smile.

'Haa… It seems she still couldn't get over it.' thought Angus.

"Nah, I just feel.. tired. Yeah... although I didn't do anything, I feel my body sluggish and tired." said Angus ignoring Millie's behavior.

"Ahh… That's quite normal. It usually happens when you try to use soul power for the first time. The purification process must have strained your soul a little bit."

It is similar to when you did an exercise for the first time. You will be back in top shape in a few days. If there is anything more, I will not disturb you two. See ya." said Millie while hurriedly leaving Jayna and Angus in the room.

"Err… well, I think I should be fine." said Angus.

"You sure?? We could try to meet Master Draught to check your condition." said Jayna, who is still worried.

"Don't worry. I am completely fine. We should not disturb Master Draught for simple things like this. Anyway, how is Vigo's matter?" said Angus.

"Like our previous agreement, he will come with us to the Heart Kingdom. Moreover, master Draught also told him to explore the world to gain more experience."

"Good, So.. How is the Power Arm? I didn't have a chance to use it inside the Endless Battlefield." asked Angus.

"Power Arm?? That thing is brilliant. It is one of the reasons we could keep fighting for the whole day without resting. I guess my fight for Vigo's employment is really worth it." said Jayna.
