"A DwarfInteresting. So your race survived the onslaught of the dragons by hiding underground, and built an entire civilisation underground?"
"Yes. Ironically, it appears that you too escaped a dragon in the sa manner."
Hearing this, rlin nodded with a serious face at the obvious joke that the elder had made, forcing the elder to dry cough a few tis before continuing.
"Anyway, you are clearly not from this plane, are you?"
"Nope. I'm rlin by the ways, a human from Earth's Dinsion."
"Ah! Where are my manners! I am Dulir, and these here are my students Dufir, Dumir, and Dudir, belonging to the Du Clan of the Dwarven empire. I have been born and raised in this plane."
"Hmm"
rlin nodded before being fixated onto a particular set of words.
"You were born and raised on this plane. What other planes do you know of?"
"Hehe. Are all humans this clever? Anyway, sothings are best left unspoken for the ti being."
rlin looked up at the towering dwarf and nodded in understanding. Why would soone trust a stranger the mont they t them. Secrets were the foundation of a relationship between individuals and groups.
"Anyway, I just need to ask you sothing before we continue our conversation. Is the Dwarven empire hostile to outsiders?"
"Keke. An important question, to which I would say most definitely not. We get plenty of outsiders who are not part of the dwarf race, but are residents of this plane, and we welco them. I'm sure you will fit in nicely."
The elder laughed heartily as he spoke to rlin, who decided to take things at face value and accepted the invitation to go to the dwarven empire that Dulir had offered reading in between the lines.
"Sure then, why don't we take a look. If things go south, I can just eject myself from this plane and drift back to my plane." rlin said in a light tone, but Dulir suddenly froze in his movents.
However, after a few monts of standing motionless, he composed himself and continue walking down the narrow tunnel he had made while following his students, who quickly followed behind Dulir.
Shrugging, rlin decided to follow behind as well.
Ti passed in the awkward silence created by the elder who had suddenly stopped speaking after rlin spoke about escaping the plane, and a day passed by when the group finally reached so semblance of civilisation.
The randomly andering tunnel straightened out into a wide and tall tunnel through dirt that was as hard as steel, and the group finally t other individuals.
These people were wearing rather shabby gear unlike the pristine clothes and equipnt worn by the three children and Dulir.
"Lord Dulir! You have finally returned!! The guards from the Du clan were getting restless-"
Before he could complete his sentence, multiple figures sped out from the sides of the tunnel and surrounded Dulir and the three kids, while nearly 10 of them unsheathed their weapons and pointed them at rlin, instantly separating rlin from the dwarves who were accompanying them.
Before Dulir could talk to the guards who were just as tall as him, and heavily equipped with top grade equipnt, rlin made his move.
Unknown to him, he began using the laws he had perceived from the dragon, improving his fighting prowess by nearly a whole Level without him actually being at that level. The greatest improvent he received from this law was his effectiveness in using spells and physical combat and enhancents to defeat his opponents.
Since most of the guards facing him were newly evolved Tier 4s, while the higher level Tier 4s were protecting the dwarves he was accompanying, he knew they were not going to kill Dulir and the others, and were instead their guards.
In normal circumstances, one would hold back in order to maintain relations with the dwarves he had co with. However, was ever 'normal' ever since the system had co about. Why would rlin think otherwise. He still rembered the harsh life he had lived before 'The Master' revived him and brought him back in ti.
'Why in the world would I waste so many free evolution and stat points?'
With this thinking in mind, rlin went all out and froze the enemies' feet before beheading each of them cleanly followed by and earth lance through their hearts and then burning their corpses.
Since he did not know the exact vitality of the enemies, nor their skills, he just made triple sure that they were completely and thoroughly dead before moving on to kill the next batch of soldiers.
Within 3 seconds, rlin had killed enough for him to level up once. At this mont, Dulir finally spoke up.
"Stop!! He is not the enemy!"
Hearing this, those who were enraged by the deaths of their friends and were charging in stopped in their tracks.
'He killed nearly 20 of us instantly, and many more after. If he is not the enemy, then who is?'
While this thought ran through their minds, they could not disobey direct orders from an elder of the Du Clan.
Dulir then moved to look towards rlin and apologize, however, rlin stopped him with a cold expression.
"Feel free to send more evolution and stat points anyti. I'm not an old friend of yours nor the Du clan's. We are strangers who just t. Anyone who attacks will die if you are weaker than ."
Unknowingly, rlin's personality had beco more colder and fiercer after perceiving the laws of the beyond peak Tier 4 dragon.
