There was a kingdom on the other side of that rocky hill. From a distance, carved houses could be seen on the hillside. They were a bit different from regular houses because they only hollowed out the side of the rocky hillside and made doors and windows there.They also appeared to be carving a path from the top of the rocky hill down as a road, just like what the elves did to giant trees.Gin's eyes couldn't capture what was beneath the rock because a tall gate closed it off, only the top part was visible from afar.A large stone fortress separated the kingdom from the outside world. Two guards stood there. They were sturdy dwarves with spears taller than their own bodies.Gin didn't underestimate them just because they were short. From a distance, Gin could sense a very strong aura emanating from the gatekeepers alone. That meant the people inside were powerful.Amenus must have a reason why he didn't destroy this kingdom and instead made them allies."Hey! You there!" a guard stop
Gin had little hope when he saw that this market was somewhat similar to the usual markets. Perhaps the people here weren't as miserable as slaves typically were, that was what he thought. However, when the drums sounded, his hope crumbled.People hurriedly rushed out of the market. Once again, they had to pass through a hole in the stone wall. This market was a separate part of the dwarf kingdom, confined by stone walls surrounding them.There were several doors in the stone wall, resembling holes that served as homes for them. The inside was dark, and Gin couldn't see much. And when the drums sounded, they had to leave the place immediately."Come on, we have to be quick!"Initially, the queue to enter the hole was still orderly, until five minutes later, they began pushing each other. Some got stuck in the hole, so the people behind forcefully kicked them.Everything that happened was too rough just to pass through a hole.Matt had already gone ahead. His small body easily slipped
Their reaction was unexpected. With the power they possessed, they were still reluctant to approach Gin.After witnessing what happened to their friend, the dwarves did not rush to capture him. They pushed each other, urging one another to grab Gin. Meanwhile, Gin calmly waited to be apprehended.The youngest dwarf became the sacrificial lamb. He approached Gin hesitantly, then held his hand as if holding a hot loaf of bread. When he realized Gin had no intention of resisting, he mustered the courage to hold both of Gin's hands."Remove your hands from him!" Gargan threatened them.Suddenly, a dwarf grabbed his spear and swiftly thrust it into Gargan's back. Everyone gasped. The spear pierced through Gargan's chest."That's punishment for daring to fight back!" Instead of punishing Gin, they directed their frustration towards Gargan; even though Gargan was the actual culprit.Gargan blinked. It had been almost a minute since the spear pierced her chest, yet she stood there calmly. Peo
Despite what it looked like, Panka behaved like a dog. The creature stuck out its tongue, dripping sticky saliva that was repulsive.Gin took a few steps back to avoid the saliva."What do you mean, I am your owner? How could it be? This is the first time we've met."Panka tilted its head to the right and the other head to the left, colliding with each other in the middle. "But you called me.""I never called you. You were already here when I arrived."If Gin paid attention, Panka's mouth didn't move as it should when it spoke. But its voice entered his head as if Gin could understand the language of dogs, or whatever it was.Its voice sounded like a boy, so Gin assumed Panka was male. There was only one voice that could be heard even though Panka had two heads. The heads also showed the same expressions as the other head. Two heads, one consciousness, that was the closest conclusion."You called me, I could sense your presence, but when I came, you weren't here, Master. I thought we
Panka was standing in front of them, its nostrils right in front of the leader's face. The sound of the closing door was the second horror.After realizing the danger ahead, the dwarves screamed in unison and ran towards the door.The door was closed, secretly shut by Viviz. They were in a state of panic, with their pants even wet from urine. Their hands pounded on the iron door in vain."Help! Help us! Open the door!""Open the door!""I still want to live! No! I'm still a virgin!"While they were shouting in a frenzy, Panka sat back down on the floor. The beast calmly waited for Gin's command.They were too panicked to notice the presence of Gin and the others. The dwarves began various attacks to open the door, but from the beginning, the door was designed not to be easily opened from the inside.They unleashed fire magic, air magic, and even multiple explosions. Gin watched them like a fireworks festival. The thunderous sound couldn't even be heard by the guards outside."We're go
Gin didn't care about freedom. Fighting was the only thing he sought. He could rampage through this place, head to the palace, and kill the Dwarf Queen. But that wasn't his reason for being here.He only wanted information because he believed Amenus was in a hard-to-reach place. Gin wouldn't find Amenus just by destroying this kingdom."Fight with whom?" Gin pretended to buy time.The Dwarf General was pleased with Gin's interest. A slave would do anything to be free, that was what he thought."There will be a fighting arena tonight to welcome The Lord's arrival. If you can survive in that fight, you will be free."Gin held back his smile. This was what he had been waiting for. The Lord, Amenus, would appear tonight, and he could easily confront that villain."Alright. I will do whatever you ask as long as you set me free."***Gargan and Viviz refused to leave. They waited outside the castle cave door with unwelcoming faces. Some guards tried to escort them away, but the two divine b
Everything burned when Gerald arrived. The forest, usually filled with dense trees and fruit-bearing trees where creatures lived, had turned into pillars of fire reaching the sky.He had to be careful not to be burned by the branches. Gerald created a water barrier that helped him walk through the intense heat of the flames. With each step he took, there was only fire and more fire.Gerald's eyes swept around the forest. Some parts had already started to die down, leaving only ashes. His eyes caught sight of the remnants of some living creatures.Gerald sighed. He was too late.As far as Gerald could remember, there was a village here. He quickened his pace, hoping the village was still intact.A growl from the sky made him look up. Gerald almost stumbled when he saw a fire-breathing dragon flying above him. The dragon spewed fire from its mouth, engulfing everything below.The fire grew larger, and Gerald had to strengthen his barrier. But he was more concerned about that dragon.He
Initially, Lilian refused Amenus' idea of taking her away with him. However, she was not in a position to give refuse. Even if she refused, Amenus would still forcibly take her.Amenus gave her a four-leaf clover-shaped necklace. The necklace looked beautiful and lovely from the outside. It resembled a gift.He pulled Lilian into the carriage and locked the door with a spell so that she couldn't jump out."You brought me just to show your cruelty?" Lilian asked sarcastically.She couldn't act gracefully in front of Amenus anymore. For the past fifty years, Amenus had tested her patience.During their journey, several fire dragons flew past them. The dragons seemed busy moving back and forth.As Lilian glanced down, she saw that the sea of fire had engulfed the entire land. Lilian bit her lip. She couldn't bear to see it. Many people had become victims, young and old.It was too painful to witness.Lilian shifted her gaze to the evening sky. The sky appeared orange and bright until the
