‘Who are you calling a monster? I am a Dwarf. Not a monster.’
Before Evan could tell about the technique received, the young dwarf corrected Emily with a cold tone.
‘Emily, don’t call him a monster.’
Leo knew something that almost no humans don’t know about the monsters.
All the monsters in their world were the inhabitants of a particular world. Just like the human world, they have their power system.
However, they failed in their world assessment, and 10 percent of the surviving population of those worlds were sent to other worlds as wild monsters in the name of the pre-assessment test.
The wild monsters were almost turned into mutated beasts with less intelligence but full of killing intent.
Leo learned from his experience in the wilderness that these wild monsters could recover their intelligence with time. The perfect example would be Vladimir, the shadow vampire, the supreme-ranked manticore king, and many other wild monsters.
Nevertheless, some wild monsters would lose control and focus on killing others rather than thinking.
‘I think the reason why the young dwarf is considered a monster was because it was born in a foregin world. Any otherworldly being that is born in this world will be considered a monster to the residents of this world.’
Leo silently concluded why the system also mentioned the young dwarf as a monster.
‘O-okay.’
Emily looked at the young dwarf and nodded.-.
Since Leo had personally said that, Emily didn’t bother to argue with the young dwarf and asked Evan, ‘Now, tell me. What weapon-refining technique did you get?’
‘Hundred Hammer Strike- refining technique.’
Evan replied with a proud look and explained the technique, ‘I can remove all the impurities in metal with this technique. The weapon created using this purified metal will have additional effects and skills.’
‘Cool’
Emily knew it was an excellent supportive skill, and as long as Evan focused on weaponsmithing, he could refine high-level weapons in the future.
‘Ding,
Refining technique: Hundred Hammer Strike.
Effects: 1) Removes the impurities from the metals and increases the metal quality.
2) If used in the fight, the overall strength of the user increases by two times the moment he holds a heavy hammer.
‘Huh? Second effect?’
While Evan explained the refining technique he gained from the young dwarf, Leo assessed Evan’s information before focusing on that technique.
He was surprised to see there was a second effect for that technique.
‘I think it is better if he learned about the second effect on his own.’
Leo silently thought to himself before taking out three golden tokens.
‘Use these Monster/Beast storage devices to store your young dwarf and the puppies. Try your best to hide about me and your companions from everyone including Ryan and Julia.’
Leo didn’t wait for them to say anything as he continued, ‘I will come back in seven days and will try to bring a few good monsters and the mutated beasts for you to form a bond.’
‘Swoosh’
As soon as he finished his words, Leo opened the portal into his secret dimensional space and left from there.
‘Emily, did you sense anything familiar?’
After Leo left, Evan and Emily remained silent before Evan asked his sister.
‘About Brother Leo, right? I do.’
As though she understood what Evan was asking, Emily nodded in agreement.
‘I feel like he is Brother Toby. Other than that reason, I am unable to think why Brother Leo was very generous to us.’
‘But, what I don’t understand is why he is not revealing his identity to us?’
‘I think he must have a reason behind not revealing his identity to us. Let’s act like we don’t know anything.’
The twins continued to talk about their Brother Leo, aka Brother Toby.
The reason why the twins were able to figure out that Brother Leo was none other than Brother Toby was because of the way Leo behaved with them.
He practically raised them for seven years from birth.
What’s more, the twins had already forgotten the face of their Brother Toby; however, they didn’t forget how he treated them and how much he had cared for them. They had the same feeling whenever they were in the presence of Leo.
Therefore, they concluded that Leo was none other than their Brother Toby.
The thought that Leo was their Brother Toby excited the twins, and they look forward to meeting Leo more and more in the future.
At the same time, their determination to become powerful increased even more after seeing how powerful their big brother had become.
…..
In Leo’s manor,
‘Phew…now, I don’t have to worry about Ryan, Julia and the twins.’
Leo didn’t know that the twins had already figured out his identity as he heaved a sigh of relief.
‘Since I have taken care of all the things in Phirie city. I can travel to the grade 1 world.’
Leo asked Davis to take care of the manor and the enslaved people he had freed before locking the door.
‘It’s time to enter the grade 1 world.’
Without wasting any time, Leo used the ‘Grade 1 world ticket’.
‘Ding,
The host used the random ‘Grade 1 world ticket’. Opening the portal to a random Grade 1 world.
The world ticket in his hand turned into dust, and Leo received a system notification.
‘Swoosh’
In the next second, a portal big enough for him to enter appeared in front of Leo.
‘Ding,
The portal to a grade 1 Beast World is opened. Please enter.
‘A Beast world?’
Leo raised his eyebrows when he saw the words ‘Beast World’; however, he didn’t think much about what world he would be entering.
Because his goal was to enter a grade 1 world and see how powerful it was with his own eyes.
‘Swoosh’
Leo took only one step to enter a grade 1 world, and the portal behind him closed.
‘Ding,
Collecting the details regarding the world. Please wait.
‘Okay.’
Nodding his head at the system notification, Leo checked his surroundings.
‘Swoosh’
However, someone threw a net on him and caught him before he could check his surroundings.
“Looks like lady luck is smiling on me today. I caught a human.”
Leo heard a hoarse voice and fell asleep before realizing what was happening to him.
