Another Race

[Ace POV],

In the end, we took the conversation about the elves and dwarves to the mansion and had a meal together.

In comparison to Emma's more relaxed conversation with the dwarves, Anna's encounter with the elves, or dark elves as she refers to them, was more eventful.

A strange race appearing may not seem unusual, but when two appear at the same time, it is clear that something is wrong.

It was even questioned whether the portal that brought both races out had only recently appeared and had not previously appeared.

The two races in particular that my teammates managed to encounter on the same day in the true world were even creatures we'd all heard about, and when they went into more detail about their appearance, it could be confirmed that the races they met were the ones we knew about.

An archery and magical race with long ears and the majority of their females leading the population.

This was the elves we'd all read about, and then there were the dwarves.

A race that appears to be a blacksmithing race and can be confirmed as one filled with short muscular beings.

This was also essentially the description of the dwarves that the vast majority of humans who had heard their names had in their heads.

The dwarves are the only one of these two races that behaved similarly to what we read about.

The elves, whom I assumed were peaceful creatures, were the ones who started a fight with Anna and wanted to capture her right away, something the dwarves did not do even though they could.

Anna was in a good situation because she had her summoned crow with her, who was unexpectedly useful enough to make the elves reconsider.

Perhaps this is a normal trait of the dark elves, as Anna refers to them, but until I see other subspecies of elves, I'll consider the dark elves to be the main elf race for the foreseeable future.

However, among the two who encountered the mythical races, I believe Emma benefited the most because she received a rank 1 item as a gift.

And, given her assistance to the dwarves, it's not unusual I suppose, for them to gift her a rank 1 item if they had multiple with them.

Fortunately for her, it's better they didn't force her to do what they wanted when they could have because given what I've heard from Emma about how the pressure from the Dwarven King was too powerful despite being sealed, it was a small thing for the dwarves to have made both she and Chris submit without much difficulty.

I suppose the dwarves are peace-loving creatures, just like the stories of the old world told, and since Anna also said the Elven Chief was 'sealed,' there was something I was curious about.

As I continued to listen to what the girls were saying, I reached this point in my thoughts and spoke immediately after the conversation ended and they wanted to take a brief pause.

"So you're saying that the Dwarven King said that in 10 days in the true world, he'll be partially 'unsealed,' and given that he said 'we' at the time and that Anna also encountered another sealed specie of another race, it's safe to say that if we don't evolve before that time, we're in for a rough ride," I said as everyone in the living room turned to look at Emma, who nodded.

Seeing this, all I could do was sigh and relax my back on the chair, thinking about how things would have to be rushed from now on.

'Looks like I'll be spending most of my time in the true world from now on,' I thought as the already limited time I had to evolve became even shorter.

As I pondered these and other thoughts, the living room fell strangely silent, as everyone else appeared to be lost in their own thoughts.

I'm not sure about the others, but I did know that while it appeared that the future would have some crazy things happen there, I guess I was one of the very few who were looking forward to it.

Hmmm.

I'm curious if there are any new races out there, and if so, which ones.

Will they be ones we recognize from stories we've read and seen, or will they be new species?

That reminds me of something.

I wonder if Caleb called me because of this, but that seems unlikely given what I would be able to do if this were true.

......…

Meanwhile, a few hours back in the residence of the Dawn Empire's Emperor, Chris was about to listen to the punishment his king was going to give him.

This is what was supposed to happen when the king's words were abruptly interrupted by a young male who rushed into the room.

The male appeared to be in his twenties, but that was irrelevant.

The issue was the male's words.

"Father, there's trouble," the male said as soon as he saw Andrew Dawn, who apparently happened to be his father.

"What's the matter, John? I'm in a meeting," Andrew Dawn said calmly as he looked at his son with his wife, who turned to look at her son with concern on her face.

This was due to the fact that if John's reason for unexpectedly barging into the king's meeting was not valid, he would face a harsh punishment even if he was the king's son.

Furthermore, his punishment was going to be even more severe because he is the king's son.

This was the thought of the majority of the people in the room, but this changed when they heard what John said next.

"We're being attacked," John Dawn said as everyone in the room's expression changed.

Their demeanour changed with just a few words.

Without even waiting for John to say another word, Andrew Dawn stood up from his seat, ignoring the food that was still unfinished, and made his way out of the dining room.

When everyone, including Caleb, saw this, they all rushed out of the dining room to follow the king after the queen left as well.

Andrew Dawn wasn't running or anything, but even so, the only people who could match his speed were a few, and they were his personal guards who had their jobs to represent it and his son, John Dawn.

Caleb and the others were still a long way behind.

The king didn't even need his son's assistance to determine which direction they were being attacked from because he had already noticed the signs of the battle the moment he stepped outside his residence.

The ongoing battle appears to be taking place in an outpost outside the settlement walls.

This place was actually the least guarded place in Andrew Dawn's 'territory'.

It was a mountain range not far from the settlement and it was the type that was easy to defend and hard to breach.

This location was only filled with mountains and would have no real significance to the settlement as a whole in a short period of time if it hadn't been rich in a specific magical material that a personnel under Andrew Dawn's command deemed useful.

This was the reason the place had the least security because Andrew Dawn had thought that with the number of preparations that had been made and the personnel that he had placed there, there should only be a few things that should cause alarm, but he never expected it to come so soon.

This was his thought as he finally arrived at the location he was heading to, and when he arrived, he was lucky enough to see that most of his men were still alive.

This made him relieved as he temporarily ignored the strange huge humanoid creatures fighting his men, but as he was about to head down and help his men fight with the strange-looking creatures down the mountain range, Andrew Dawn abruptly came to a halt as he turned his head to look in a specific direction.

This action caused his guards with him and son to turn in the direction Andrew Dawn was looking, only to see several green-looking huge humanoid creatures similar to the one below, and in front of these creatures was a green humanoid that was even larger than his fellow race.

While the others began to worry about being outnumbered, Andrew Dawn was perplexed by the information he had gleaned from the primordial chronicle as he focused on the huge green figure who appeared to be the leader of this humanoid monster group.

[Rank 1 Green Ogre King Level 25[Sealed]],

'Sealed?' Andrew Dawn thought as the figure he was focusing on suddenly moved.
