82 Times of Peace

'Hmm.. I seem to have not seen Asura yet?' I thought hard to myself as I called out to Asura fast while flying towards Angela controlled area.

"Asura!" I shouted with a smile while holding Emma hand tight, "Kukuku, hey brother!" a gigantic head appeared in the sky while he was smiling, he looked… "Looking handsome Asura! Hahaha!"

Emma who looked scared of heights while gripping my arms hard began to giggle, it took us a few moments to reach Angela area before dismissing Asura and landed on the ground safely with Emma.

Keeping my mask on, I fixed my suit and sent a card towards Emma changing her look entirely. I looked at her and smiled widely because she honestly looked gorgeous.

The dress leaves her shoulders mostly uncovered and flows down into a graceful cowl neckline. It's a comfortable fit which makes the dress both enjoyable to wear and look at. Her arms have been left uncovered, her silky skin isn't something you want to cover up.

The dress' waist is wide, but it's a slim fit. A cloth ribbon has been wrapped around her and tied in the front. Below the waist the dress widens and forms a round, balloon-style dress. The dress reaches to just above her ankles and is the same length all around.

She's wearing ankle straps, a perfect choice in combination with this dress. To top it all off she's wearing a simple, but stylish necklace and an ornate bracelet. Emma kept looking at her new set of dress excited and began to talk about many things as she let it all out while we walked towards the large gate standing between the unprotected land and protected land.

As I stood there with my wife, three giant soldiers jumped from the walls and landed in a formation surrounding me and my wife. I smiled at their reaction and nodded, "Good! Good!" I said while observing their confused faces before another giant bigger than those 3 appeared and kneeled immediately before me.

"Guild Master! This lowly commander greets you!" The giant said as the three surrounding us too a second to follow their commander posture.

"Stand up, just open the gates and prepare me an empty plot to use for a restaurant, I will be staying here for a while and I don't want anyone else other than your soldiers to know… Am I understood?" I said while a flash appeared in my eyes before disappearing.

"Yes Sir, It will be ready within a few minutes, please follow me to the guards room, I will prepare some Colombian Coffee that was found a few days ago in a land nearby." The guard who was next the commander spoke with fear in his voice while guiding us towards the gate before pushing it to open.

Screech! The gate made a loud noise as it was pushed open, guards who were waiting outside looked ready for a fight but when they saw the that the commander was careful around me, they became much more careful than him.

"Let us go to the training ground, bring the coffee there" I said while I followed the commander who replaced the guard before grabbing Emma hand tight and pulling her closer to me. "Are you excited for our soon peaceful life? Hehe" I whispered to her slowly as I watched her face become redder than a tomato before getting pinched again.

The commander was trying hard to not look at our direction but sadly he did and the best way to explain himself out of the situation was talk about his family, "Guild Master, if your wife is free she can go to my wife house because my wife is the best!" He said it shamelessly…

… We continued walking in this awkward road as we reached the training ground, every else was empty as most of the buildings were in the inner part which could fit millions, the outer layer is filled with guards and soldiers.

Two chairs were brought to us, and a small table as tableware and some fruits were placed on them. I took an orange and began to peel it while observing the training ground. Emma was doing the same process before she had this weird look on her face and looked at me fiercely.

"Ace, you better not have cheated on me or…" Emma said as she took a banana and broke it into two.

Nearly every male soldier or guard in the training hall who was listening grabbed their danger zone and flinched hard from her words. I on the other hand looked at Emma without moving any part of my body and smiling said "I'd rather die"

The married couples in the training ground looked at each other with more love, while the singles well… they were too depressed.

I nodded at the training that was done and took off my jacket before leaving it on the chair and moving to the training ground, Emma smiled and took the coat from the chair before tidying it and putting it neatly on the chair.

As I walked towards the training ground, flashes of the trial began to appear in my mind, I vowed to myself that I won't make a mistake this time. "All of you are weaklings, you can't do anything about it because I said it… Attack me" I said in a loud voice as I let my illusion run wild, clones appeared everywhere while monsters spawned everywhere in the camp. Fusing my killing intent with illusion, everyone froze in their places, including the clones.

I played around with my cane while controlling the illusion not to have a fatality. The commander who was the only one not affected by the soldiers and guards on the walls. They all observed what happened and were shocked when they saw no one moving.

I yawned and looked at the commander with a smile, "I will leave them here in this state, if they don't move in 30 minutes, hit them once and they will move"

I walked back to my wife and took her hands to stand up, holding the folded jacket, I unfolded it and placed it on my shoulders. "A few minutes has passed commander, did you find an empty lot?" I asked even though I saw empty 'Land' everywhere in the outer layer.

"Yes sir, I would recommend the one closest to the south gate" The commander said as he called over a truck to carry us there.

An hour went by, and we finally reached the south gate, which is the opposite side of the unprotected land, this gate was one of the main gates used to transport supplies over to other bases, the sea was connected to the east gate which is also import and exports supplies or merchandise to other stations.

I looked at the empty land and smiled while look over the other caravans, cars and weird animals being used by nearly all of the races to transport outside the opened gate. I tapped the ground twice with my cane, and a small building began to emerge from the ground.

As the structure began to emerge, I began to modify it while keeping Emma busy by playing air chess with her, and this involved a 3d hologram created from illusion and space magic to make it much more pleasurable to play.

As the structure emerged, the building is shaped like a short U. The two extensions are linked by wooden sunscreens structures. The second floor is bigger than the first, which creates several overhanging parts on one side of the house. This floor has roughly the same style as the floor below.

I began to modify it a bit to make it look modern and simple, hardwood sprouted and covered the outer layer of the building like a python wraps around its prey. I looked at it with a smile and nodded before applying the final touches to the furniture and lighting around the building creating a spectacular look.

As I was about to end the game with Emma, Anima voice resounded within my head.
