Chapter 667 - Town

"…" 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.

Before he got an answer in his mind, Dourner pushed Theo's back as if telling him to walk.

Theo took a deep breath and started walking while glancing at Ava and Agata to follow him. Due to Dourner's order, the dwarves didn't touch them and let them walk beside Theo.

The dwarves escorted them through the tunnel and went down the stairs before arriving in front of the metal gate.

Suddenly, Dourner stepped forward and pointed his palm at the door and opened his mouth. "Seikiha Balaha."

Golden light from his body moved toward the gate and enveloped them.

The hammer symbol shone and the doors slid to the sides. The only reason why there was no gap or joint to exploit was due to the fact it was a sliding door instead of a normal one.

Even Theo could see how perfect the door was patched to the walls, making one think it was just a normal door.

As for the rolling track, he soon found them on the ceiling. This was the reason why the area around the gate expanded.

He soon realized the gate's mechanism and gritted his teeth, "So, touching the door will alert you."

"You've got a good brain there for a human." Dourner smirked. "Though, it's not like your movement hasn't been monitored this whole time."

"Monitored?" Theo narrowed his eyes.

Dourner shrugged, not answering his question.

Since he couldn't get any more information from him, Theo narrowed his eyes as he tried to see what was inside the door.

"…"

Sadly, they needed to walk for a few more minutes before the tunnel expanded.

"This is…" Theo opened his mouth in amazement. Ava, who was standing on his shoulder, looked left and right as if hearing multiple footsteps. On the other hand, Agata dropped her jaw, never expecting to find a city inside a mountain.

Yes, it was a city. Unlike any other city, the houses and buildings were attached to the wall.

"This is a huge hole that is transformed into a city." Theo narrowed his eyes, realizing the true identity of the city. He looked up and saw the ceiling was sealed.

He lowered his vision and found a huge cylindrical empty space with many bridges connecting one building to the others filling up the space. If he looked down, he could see a field with a slightly reddish color as if it was burning hot.

He glanced at the house and found nothing as they were too far for him to see.

"Well, I guess you're the first human to see this place. Welcome to my humble town." Dourner chuckled. He didn't seem to be concerned that much when Theo and Agata saw this.

He especially didn't care whether Ava was here or not. He simply treated her as if she didn't exist.

"Anyway, you're going to follow me. The Saint wants to meet you and we will decide your fate afterward." Dourner said nonchalantly. "All you can do is to follow me."

Suddenly, Ava narrowed her eyes and looked at a specific house at the very bottom. She pointed at it and asked, "Are we going there?"

"Huh?" Dourner was surprised and confused at the same time. "How do you know?"
