Chapter 593 - Meeting The Dwarf - Part 2

Aki knew why Lord Tang was rushing things up. It was two days away until the Dark Tribe and the Green Sky Serpent attacked Kirin. They did not have a lot of time until then.

"Can you trust me and lead us to Chief Engin, Mohsen? If we really want to attack the settlement, we will bring more people with us." Aki shook his head helplessly. Things would go well if one side relented.

The rat beastmen knew he could not persuade his Lord to relent, so he tried to persuade the dwarf guard instead. "Don't forget I have made a system contract in front of your Chief and the Elders too. I will die if I bring someone to attack the dwarf."

It was unfortunate for Aki, as his words did not enter Dwarf Mohsen's ears. The Dwarf looked at the man in front of him with his eyes widened. He had a disbelief expression, which was weird to Tang Shaoyang.

'Why would the dwarf get surprised with my Wind Elemental Power? I thought Elemental Power is a common thing in Lukan.' Tang Shaoyang thought to himself.

Of course, the reason it shocked the dwarf was that the wind managed to push him back. He wore Anti-Elemental armor made by their best craftsman in the settlement. No elemental power could affect him. That was what was supposed to happen, but the man in front of him easily pushed him back with a slightly stronger gale.

However, from that attack, Dwarf Mohsen could tell that the man does not have an evil intention. That attack was not to kill him, but pushed him back from the door. He did not detect the killing intent from the attack.

Despite his rational thought telling him that the man was not dangerous, Dwarf Mohren made an excited smile. He had a reason to fight now. Different from the other dwarves, Mohsen was a fine warrior instead of a craftsman. He just knew the basics of crafting, building, and forging as he dedicated his whole life to be a warrior.

However, as the dwarves were living in seclusion, he did not have other duties except guarding the entrance to the settlement. He did not have an opponent he could fight. Of course, he was sparring against the other dwarves periodically, but a spar was not even a fight compared to an actual fight.

On top of that, he did not worry if Chief Engin would scold him. This was self-defense.

Mohsen rushed toward Tang Shaoyang as he activated the hidden mechanism under his armor and weapon. The armor was glowing in green while the short battle-ax was glowing in red.

The glow meant Mohsen enhanced the effect of the anti-elemental force in his armor. Green meant for a specific Wind Elemental Power. Since Tang Shaoyang used a strong gale just now, Mohren assumed Tang Shaoyang was a Wind Elemental Power wielder. As for the glow in his battle-ax, it was enhancing his attack power.

The dwarf in front of him was quite fast, despite his short legs. Of course, a pure movement without skill was nothing in Tang Shaoyang's eyes. Tang Shaoyang took out his battle-ax and swung it toward the dwarf. He recalled Yu Shun and Lu An's words about the dwarves.

They were amazing smiths, and they must be armed with excellent weapons too. With those thoughts in his mind, Tang Shaoyang imbued a little bit of Slayer Energy. Mohren did not try to dodge the attack. The dwarf faced the attack head-on.

Dang!

The two battle-axes clashed, and the result was to be expected. Tang Shaoyang sent the dwarf guard flying backward. There was a loud bang in the confined room as Mohren's back hit the wall. The dwarf hit the wall and fell off weakly.

Tang Shaoyang assumed his enemy was at Epic Rank, but from the clash earlier. He felt the dwarf was not even an Epic Rank. Mohren was too weak to be an Epic Rank. He then cast [Basic Detection] on the dwarf.

"Ah!?" Tang Shaoyang gasped in surprise. Mohren was not even close to Epic Rank. There was no need for him to use Slayer Energy at all. That was unnecessary. He was bullying the dwarf. He turned toward Selena and smiled wryly. "I hit him a little too hard. Can you please heal him, Selena?"

The latter shook his head helplessly and approached the dwarf. Aki helped Mohren to sit and was surprised to see blood all over his mouth. This was not just a little too hard, but extremely hard. Of course, Aki did not dare to say it out loud.

Fortunately, Selena was capable of healing Mohsen, even though the dwarf remained unconscious afterward. After Selena healed the dwarf, the door toward the settlement opened.

Three dwarves wearing a red robe entered the security room. The dwarf in the front looked at Tang Shaoyang, then he looked at the unconscious dwarf.

"Hah…" The dwarf in the front let out a sigh. "It's unfortunate that it was Crazed Mohsen's shift when you came to visit. I am sorry if Mohsen offended you in any way." The dwarf in the front bowed his head toward Tang Shaoyang.

One Dwarf also bowed his head, but the third dwarf did not bow his head. The third dwarf looked toward Tang Shaoyang with his defiant eyes. "There's no need for us to apologize. He is the one who hurt one of us! He should be the one to apologize to us!"

"Yup, I am sorry for that. I don't intend to hurt him, but he is too weak…" Tang Shaoyang immediately realized that his wording was quite bad. He was calling the dwarf weak, that was not good for the first impression.

The third dwarf was about to retort, but the dwarf in the front stopped the third dwarf. "That's enough, Sadrigh!" After that, the third dwarf shut his mouth.

"I am sorry for our poor hospitality, even though we invited you to meet us. My name is Engin, and I am the Chief of Dorgon. Pleased to meet you, Lord Tang…" The dwarf in the front smiled at Tang Shaoyang.
