I Just want a Peaceful life-Chapter 588 Lazy Familiar

"Master." A familiar voice was heard inside Angus' head.

"Draven? Did you succeed in breaking through?" asked Angus telepathically.

"Yes, Master." replied Draven shortly.

"That's fast. Didn't you say it would take a few months up to half a year?" asked Angus. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

"The space turbulence in the surrounding area accelerated my breakthrough." replied Draven.

At this moment, Angus feels Draven's temperament once again change. Compared to the talkative Draven when he met it for the first time, the current Draven is very cold and distant, like a silent chilly wind in the winter.

"So, did you get new abilities?" asked Angus.

Unlike other races, beast races unlock new abilities or skills through their bloodline whenever they breakthrough. Therefore, their heritage and knowledge are always preserved. In return, they need to enter deep hibernation every time they try to break through.

During this time, they are vulnerable and can't be disrupted. Once disrupted, they need to accumulate more energy to break through again.

"Yes, Master." replied Draven shortly without further explanation.

"Err… Care to explain your ability?" asked Angus as he was speechless at the short response.

"No. It's too much hassle." replied Draven.

"What the… Forget about it. Can you help with our current situation?" asked Angus.

"Hmm??" asked Draven in confusion.

Then, Angus explains their current situation while Draven silently listens to him. During this time, Angus kept asking back at Draven as Mundus never responded to his story. He even thought Draven fell asleep during his explanation.

"So, can you help us get out of here?" asked Angus.

"Sure." replied Draven.

Suddenly, Angus is covered with shadow and gone from his spot [Shadow Teleportation]. His sudden disappearance surprised everyone, especially Nabe and Alder. At the same time, Angus appeared in a familiar bedroom after coming out from the shadow.

"T-This is… Fuck!! Isn't this my bedroom in the manor back in the capital city?!!" said Angus in surprise.

Angus didn't expect he would suddenly get teleported to his bedroom in the manor of the Heart Kingdom's capital city. The distance between his location is so far that it should be at least a dozen hundred kilometers away.

"Draven, how did you…" said Angus as he stopped talking after finding his familiar new appearance.

Draven looks like a small cat covered in a hazy dark shadow. The legendary Mundus is lying lazily while yawning. He seems like he could sleep anytime.

"Wait.. Wait… Don't sleep yet. You need to explain or at least return me to everyone." said Angus.

"Tch.. Too much hassle." said Draven before entering Angus' shadow.

Once again, Angus was covered by the shadow and gone from the spot. *BAM* A few minutes later, someone breaks his bedroom door and looks at Angus' bedroom in confusion.

"Weird. I am sure I felt that brat here a moment ago. Tch… I will ask Lia later. It is probably another thing from that brat." said King Leon before disappearing from his spot.

On the other hand, Angus returns back inside the dungeon. As soon as he comes out of the shadow, he is already surrounded by everyone.

"Angus!!" called Jayna in worry while still carrying the sleeping Anna.

"Brat, what did you do this time?" asked Aunt Extalia.

Before he could explain, "Don't tell anyone about these abilities." Draven speaks telepathically.

"Huh? Why?" replied Angus.

"It's too much hassle." replied Draven again.

"Seriously?! You need to explain better if you want me to hide this ability from everyone." retorted Angus.

"Tch… I will be forced to kill or fight you to death if you spread a word about my ability." said Draven.

"Huh?? But, I already told a few of your abilities to others before." said Angus.

"It's fine if it is just those abilities. But don't tell anyone about my new abilities to anyone." said Draven.

"Wait.. Aren't you still bound by a familiar contract?" replied Angus.

"Yes." replied Draven shortly.

"Yes, what?!! Fuck it. We'll talk about it later." said Angus

Angus found the others got more worried as he kept silent, not replying to them.

"Everyone calm down. It's just an after-effect of my familiar wake-up." said Angus.

"Your familiar? I didn't know you brought a sleeping familiar on you." said Nabe.

"Kid, what is your familiar beast?" asked Alder in a serious tone.

"It's nothing out of the ordinary. He is quite shy and likes to hide from others." replied Angus.

"Hiding?" replied Nabe while looking at Angus' shadow.

"Hm… And here I thought you would not surprise me anymore. Take care of it, kid. That is one hell of a beast." said Alder.

'Did he notice it?!' thought Angus.

After interacting with Alder for a while, he could guess Alder is related to dragons. He knows Mundus and Dragon have a terrible relationship. Hence, he reluctantly explained about Draven in front of Alder.

"Alder, did you know something about his familiar beast?" asked Nabe.

"I could roughly guess. Not many beasts could hide from us. Anyway, I think we could easily get out of here with the help of that beast." said Alder.

"Refuse him!!" warned Draven sternly.

"Err.. I am sorry. My familiar beast is too weak after a long hibernation. He still needs some rest." said Angus in a hurry after getting another stern warning from Draven.

Alder didn't reply and glanced at Angus for a moment. Angus knows he is blatantly lying, but he has no choice. Draven's current situation is too sudden and he needs more information before deciding things.

'It is better to not reveal anything about Draven first. Alder must already guess about Draven's identity. Since he didn't turn aggressive, I should not speak anything further.' thought Angus inwardly.

"Fine. Have it your way." replied Alder before walking away.

"Interesting. Well, I still need to finish the rune first." said Nabe.

"Angus, what happened? Did Draven wake up?" asked Jayna through their bond.

"Explain, brat. I know you want to hide your familiar from others." said the Duchess.

"Yes. He is… wait." replied Angus.

"Draven, what about Jayna? Did I also need to hide your ability?" asked Angus.

"No." replied Draven shortly.

"Tch… Listen here, you lazy cat. You better stop replying shortly and answer my question properly." said Angus as his patience started to run out.

Dealing with the taciturn Mira for these past weeks is already a headache for him. He didn't plan to have a silent and taciturn familiar.

"*Sigh* Fine. You could tell your girlfriend about my abilities just by not saying it openly." replied Draven with a reluctant tone.

"Why can't the others?" asked Angus.

"She is Fire Phoenix, Queen of Beast." replied Draven shortly.

"Really?! Fine." replied Angus back.

Angus knows this is not the entire reason, but he doesn't want to pry any further. He knows the relationship between beast races is very complex, especially for extraordinary beasts like Phoenix. Knowing too much about it will only lead to more problems.

Then, Angus explained to Jayna about Draven through their bond. As for Aunt Extalia, he could only give an excuse with his familiar contract to avoid explaining further.

He also asked Draven about his other ability besides the perfect long-distance teleportation. Unfortunately, Draven is very uncooperative. He only gives a rough explanation with little detail.

Apparently, Draven is bound by his bloodline. He will be forced to fight Angus to death if Angus somehow spreads his new abilities around. The Mundus is not one of the mysterious and secretive beasts for nothing.

One of the reasons why they are feared by many is not only because of their mastery of space manipulation but also little information about them. Almost anyone that sees them is dying without even knowing what hit them.

Since Angus couldn't reveal and tell anything about Draven, he couldn't ask for his help. In fact, Draven can bring anyone outside with some help from Nabe's rune formation.

However, he is too lazy and finds it a hassle. Angus could easily force him with the power of contract. But he also didn't want more trouble explaining his newfound teleportation knowledge. Angus also didn't want to impose the contract power on Draven unless necessary.

After warning Jayna and Aunt Extalia about Draven's existence through telepathy, he decides to learn more about space elements from Draven.

"Huft… Fortunately, he is still a gluttony cat." thought Angus as he sent some monster meat to his shadow.

After a half day, Nabe finally finished the rune formation with an exhausted look. Seeing this, everyone knows the rune formation is very complex and could even force one of the brightest minds in the world to the point of exhaustion.

As soon as she finished her rune, "Arrghh… That's it. After this, I will go on a long vacation." grumbled Nabe while drinking some potion.

"Vacation?! Where? I know some good places for our honeymoon." chimed Alder.

"Who the hell wants to go with you?!! Besides, I am going outside. You can't possibly follow me." retorted Nabe.

"Outside, huh?! Well, it's not bad to change places once in a while." said Alder.

"Are you stupid?! You are still a full-fledged monster overlord. The world will go mad once you return outside." said Nabe.

"And you think they will let Red Queen Nabe alone?" asked Alder teasingly.

"Forget it. We still need to deal with our…" said Nabe before suddenly stopping in the middle of her speech.
