Chapter 667 - Town (1/2)
”…” Theo remained silent after agreeing to follow him. Meanwhile, Agata was surprised that Theo chose to surrender, but she brushed that thought off the moment Theo mentioned the other person's strength.
Theo was sure that the dwarf was a Mythical Rank Expert due to their strength disparity. If the dwarf was a Supreme Rank Expert, he could still fight him by exploiting several tricks.
But the dwarf made him feel helpless like when he fought Leonardo in his serious state. There wasn't even a chance to think or stabilize his body earlier.
So, he thought it wouldn't be wise to escape as he wasn't confident to fight him.
What he had in mind was one thing. He apologized. 'I am sorry for losing.'
[They're just dwarves. If I have my living body, I can trample them to death. Hmph.]
”…” Theo's eyebrows twitched, knowing it was Fenrir who talked earlier. Soon, he received a reply from both Loki and Hel.
[Those idiot artisans, huh… Why don't you wager your head with them?]
[You didn't lose. This is tactical surrender.]
Theo was speechless when he saw their reply. He felt a bit bad with Hel, considering the promise he had made with her. On the other hand, he couldn't help but reply to Loki. 'So, they can't determine which part is my neck, which part is my head?'
[They're just simpleton.]
Theo sighed inwardly as he stopped replying to Loki, not knowing what to say regarding this wager.
To his surprise, the dwarf that was sitting on top of him suddenly said, ”Still, this spear is quite good even though it's made by an amateur. It's deliberately toned down to match the user's current strength. After fine-tuning, there's also the chance of increasing its power.
”Though, the efficiency is quite low. Ehm, I don't really care…” The dwarf looked at Ava and Agata, who were restrained by other dwarves. ”Well, since he has surrendered, you can let them go. I'm pretty sure they will follow us.”
After saying those words, the dwarf finally stood up and let Theo move.
Theo, knowing he couldn't escape, said, ”Where are we going?”
”You're not scared of me?” The dwarf narrowed his eyes.
”Either way, it's not like you're going to kill us immediately.” Theo shook his head.
”Hoho, then I can put in some bad words about you.” The dwarf smirked with cunning eyes.
”Please do.” Theo nodded in agreement as if he truly wanted to die.
Even Dourner, the Mountain King, slightly raised his eyebrows to check Theo's expression.
”Whatever. I'm too tired to argue with you.” He then looked to the side and pointed at the gap. ”There seems to be a crack here. Someone needs to patch it up later.”
The other dwarves nodded as they wondered what they should do after capturing all these people.
”Anyway, it's time to go.” Dourner tossed the spear back to Theo.
”…” Theo caught the spear with a surprised expression, not understanding why he would throw back the spear. He thought Dourner was simply that confident in catching all of them, but he felt that wasn't the only reason.
