In this instant, Sheyan abruptly waved to a dwarf who was curiously looking over. Immediately, Segimli sprinted over clamorously in his full armor while brandishing that incredibly crude warmace.

Those five contestants were instantly shocked. They imagined Sheyan's capability to be so great, he could actually hire an ironclad dwarf. While feeling that trouble was brooding, they soon heard Sheyan callously asking.

"Would you mind if I slaughter these brats?"

The dwarf replied bluntly.

"Why would I care, I am only concerned with safeguarding the caravan's goods. I swore an oath to Mahal I would keep these goods safe, but, that includes Mister Pombo as well……"

The dwarf became slightly disheartened upon remembering that and his eyes reddened. Droplets of tears soon trickled down.

At this moment, Sheyan bolted forth like a ferocious leopard. He had directly activated 'Horn Rage' and was charging towards Yerna!

Sheyan's sudden impetus completely eclipsed the contestants' expectations. Nevertheless, they regained their senses a second later and attacked unanimously. Two contestants fired off wildly with their submachine guns, as the bullets created a parade of sparks upon raining in. They had no idea that such low-damage-high-frequency assaults were Sheyan's favourite.

Still, one of them was a Growth-Hunter and sprinted towards Yerna after observing Sheyan's 'Horn Rage' ability. Right before Sheyan collided into Yerna, that Growth-Hunter roared and lifted both arms. Unexpectedly, Sheyan was thrown to the ground after his accumulated momentum crashed into his target.

Meanwhile, Reef had also activated 'Courage' and arrived a split second behind Sheyan. After all, both 'Horn Rage' and 'Courage' were maximum speed abilities, with the only difference being employed on foes or allies.

Reef didn't wield his dark-gold shield when he arrived, but opted to release a 'Shattering Cardiac Roar' first. He then forcibly endured the strength-type Growth-Hunter's elbow thrust against Sheyan, while simultaneously cleaving down onto the wretched Yerna with 'Steelclaw'.

Just like how the duo felt distaste for the wretched Yerna, she similarly disliked them to the utmost. Yet after recovering from the stunning duration of 'Horn Rage', she was instantly struck with 'Shattering Cardiac Roar' and failed to escape in time.

For her to break free, she would have to consume an 'effect-immunity' medicine, item or cast an ability. Instead, she thought too highly of herself and yelled while coating a dark-blue light screen around herself. It was indeed a high rank 'Magic Shield' that could absorb damage with MP while unleashing her 'Witch's Howl'.

Concurrently, Reef exerted more strength as he activated the 'Aberration' ability of 'Steelclaw'.

In this split second, a sinister dinosaur claw of Hammond's son appeared and brutally clawed down onto Yerna. It utterly ignored her 'Magic Shield' and tore out a massive chunk of flesh from her shoulder.

Yerna screamed miserably in response as Reef's strike carried a terrifying 97 points of true damage. In addition to the claw's basic damage and blood loss damages, the resulting outcome skyrocketed to a horrifying figure.

At this moment, Sheyan recovered from his stun and pressed forward silently after brandishing '+7 West'.

Yerna finally panicked and though she looked down on Sheyan's dark-blue grade weapon, her other opponent's assault that could negate her shield was too frightening. Feeling immense heartache, she quickly consumed a medicine to dispel her of the speed decline effect from 'Shattering Cardiac Roar'.

Yet in this instant, Reef towered over her with a phantom of an arrogant, herculean centaur behind him. He mercilessly stomped down and crushed Yerna to the ground, while disrupting her chanting activation of 'Witch's Howl'.

Indeed, this was the ability of Reef's 'Siege Hooves' - 'Trampling Hooves'!

After being bombarded by the bullets previously, Sheyan's body jolted with electric blue currents; signalling the long activation of his 'Zergling Rush' ability. Sparing no courtesy, Sheyan pounced forward and released three vicious slash against Yerna.

Blood splashed wildly as the three blades slashed in. Following that, the haughty Yerna's eyes flashed with fear as she screamed miserably.

Just as Reef was about to cleave down again, Yerna rolled aside and escaped the fetters of his 'Trampling Hooves'. Her body irradiated with the glow of consuming an 'Honorary Medicine'.

In spite of that, Sheyan pulled out 'Ambition' and blasted her head with a stun, as the duo charged in for the slaughter.

Yet at this moment, an incomparably shrilling sound pierced in. Seven emerald arrows vaulted through the sky and landed in the faces of the battling contestants.

One could observe these exquisite arrowtails were hollow, which created that shrilling hiss when speeding through the air.

Closely after, a squad of elves trudged out from the nearby forest and announced with a cold and aloof voice.

"Humans, cease your meaningless battle. The joyous feast of Rivendell will not be sullied by your filthy blood! There will not be a second warning."

The contestants who were new to this world were naturally astonished, and obediently submitted to this mysterious and noble race called elves.

However, to Sheyan and Reef who had interacted with elves many times in the past, they long discarded the notion of worshipping this mysterious race. Oh, Sheyan had even wretchedly tore of Maiden Melody's straw skirt in the past……

Still, the main reason the halted their assaults as well, was the horrified expressions of the caravan group. After all, the caravan group had business dealings with the elf! Evidently, they would react harshly against anyone who dared to act blindly without thinking.

"Humans! What are your purposes here in Rivendell?" An elf adorned in green branch ornaments strolled out and issued icily.

Mister Wright then walked forward while holding a cane.

This cane didn't appear different from other canes in Middle-earth. The only difference was a verdant leaf at the top of the cane. This cane was clearly crafted with polished dead wood, yet a green leaf was growing from it on top.

Mister Wright got off his horse and greeted politely.

"I am acquainted with the noble Glorifindel. This is the keepsake he bestowed unto me, inviting me to visit Rivendell."

Glorfindel was similarly a twilight elf whose legend could be comparable even to the likes of Gandalf. After his death, he was re-embodied by the Valar to act as an emissary, and can no longer recall the journey back to the Undying Lands.

Strictly speaking, he was presently the third most important figure of Rivendell, an exalted elder worthy of inviting personal guests.

For Mister Wright to be able to interact with such a figure, his backing was inevitably extraordinary. No wonder the realm utilized him for this storyline.

When the chief elf patroller noticed the mediocre yet mystical cane, he hastily rushed forward and knelt to receive it with both hands. His bearing was exceptionally humble.

A mild green brilliance exuded out of his palms, as the cane reacted clearly with green radiance by the incitement of nature energy. The brilliance scattered in speckles towards the clouds in meticulous fashion.

Soon after, that chief elf patroller returned the cane to Mister wright with great reverence and bowed deeply.

"Respected Mister Wright, are you in command of these humans?"

Wright mounted his horse and announced in a gentle and civilized manner.

"These are my gift for the noble Glorfindel. I have yet to grasp powerful space magic and can only carry this gift crudely and traverse leagues of danger to arrive at Rivendell."

At this moment, the young dwarf returned to Sheyan's side for another drink. When he heard Mister Wright, his eyes widened with shock and asked.

"Gift? Hasn't Mister Wright been saying these were our goods that can be exchanged for a great fortune?"

Sheyan sighed and and added with a resentful tone.

"Mister Segimli, this is how business is conducted amongst the upper echelons of the world. Ponder over it, the prideful elves will surely exchange treasures of equivalent value after receiving these 'so-called' gifts. How wonderfully prestigious are artifacts crafted by elves in all of Middle-Earth……that is a gain of several folds. Most crucially, this season has created the ripe opportunity for a bountiful harvest…"

The young dwarf was immersed by Sheyan's words and continued to display great thirst for knowledge.

"Forgive me, brother Seaman. Why this season?"

Sheyan sighed and answered.

"Most of the elves of Rivendell are preparing to depart for the Undying Lands. Ponder again, what will you do when migrating?"

Segimli caressed his beard with an earnest expression.

"I don't migrate, brother Seaman. The mines are the best. The dry underground and clean dust can harden my skin greatly."
