Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

The difference was that the female warriors of the Jali Clan exuded an atmosphere of belligerence, their gazes at the members of the Loki Clan akin to that of hunters eyeing their prey.

The members of the Loki Clan, on the other hand, wore cold expressions, looking unfriendly, especially Bert, whose eyes had already turned ferocious, ready to charge forward and fight at any moment.

Ais and Revilia's eyes kept scanning the Amazonian female warriors on the opposite side, as if they were searching for something.

Grace stood with his arms crossed, in front of Raul, with a composed expression.

Angel stood behind Reiger, also with arms crossed, her tail moving back and forth constantly behind her.

Reiger stood among the crowd, not in an obvious position, but at this moment, not only did many around him focus their gaze on him, even the Amazonian female warriors across the way did the same.

Particularly the two women standing between the female warriors, who almost immediately fixed their gazes on Reiger, one had her eyes light up and licked her lips, while the other stared intently, tension running through her limbs.

"Alcana Jali Fu..."

Reiger first looked at the female warrior who seemed to be staring hungrily at him.

"Bajie Jialifu..."

Soon after, Reiger locked eyes with the veiled female warrior who was staring at him.

Reiger had also encountered these two in the artificial labyrinth of Knossos.

But at that time, Reiger was already fighting with Reveis, and these two came right up to Theona and Theone, not paying him any mind at all.

So strictly speaking, this was the first time the two sides had faced off like this.

The other side seemed to be coming for him... Reiger furrowed his brow imperceptibly.

Then suddenly, Reiger's heart moved, and he turned in a different direction, looking over there.

It was a relatively secluded corner located on the city wall of the metropolis.

Six figures had appeared there at some point, hiding their presence while emanating a subtle sense of existence that could not be ignored.

They were coldly observing everything happening here.

Reiger immediately recognized their identities.

A white elf with golden silk-like long hair and porcelain white skin.

A black elf with silver-violet short hair and brown skin.

And four little people, all of the same height and appearance, equipped respectively with a greatsword, battle axe, giant hammer, and long spear.

[White Demon Staff]!

[Black Demon Sword]!

[Flame Gold Four Warriors]!

The top-level adventurers of the Freyja Clan, aside from "The Strongest in the City" and "The Fastest in the City" were all present!

As expected, this commotion was quite substantial.

This was unavoidable.

"Are you Alcana Jali Fu?"

Finn was the first to break the silence, addressing Alcana among the Amazonian female warriors.

As the leader of the Loki Clan and with the other side coming for them, it was only natural for him to step up first and confront the opposite leader face to face.

Alcana Jali Fu was recognized as the strongest female warrior of the Dueling Nation Tír Shkula, and also the leader of the Jali Clan, the elder of the twin female warriors.

"...It's me."

Alcana stepped forward too, responding to Finn in halting common language.

"What do you mean by this?"

Finn, abandoning his usual calmness, probed Alcana with sharp eyes and tone.

This demeanor showed the others that the renowned [Hero] was in no good mood now.

However, Alcana showed a disdainful disregard for the little people leader, who was already Lv. 7, casting a contemptuous glance over him and continuing to speak in broken common language.

"I have no interest in cowardly little people, let Reiger Brillhaut come out."

With these words, the place burst into uproar.

The members of the Loki Clan were instantly enraged, almost charging out.

Nobody could have expected someone to target the Lv. 7 [Hero] with such a dismissive and scornful attitude.

But this was precisely the usual prejudice against little people.

In the eyes of the world, the little people were weak, small, and afraid of dying.

This couldn't be said to be incorrect.

Due to their short stature, little people generally were of limited talent, possessing poor aptitude, either weak or timid, belonging to a very inconspicuous and weak race.

Beastkin have exceptional senses, Dwarves have muscular bodies, Elves are naturally a race of magic, Amazons are a tribe of fiercely warlike female warriors, even humans produce generations of heroes, often bringing forth individuals with astonishing talents, with keen, particularly intelligent minds, each race having its own features and characteristics.

Only the little people, throughout time, have not shown any particularly outstanding racial abilities, with perhaps a slightly better vision being their only commendable trait, yet even that was quite useless.

Among the various races in the lower world, the little people have consistently been a race subject to bullying and persecution.

As such, legendary stories related to the little people were extremely rare, almost nonexistent, with few heroic figures known throughout history emerging from their ranks.

Thanks to this, there were many who looked down upon the little people, Amazons among them.

To those who are warlike and worship strength, the cowardly little people would only be subjects of contempt.

Of course, the people of Orario wouldn't disdain Finn.

He was, after all, Finn Timna, the [Hero] celebrated as the hope and hero of the little people.

His level "Lv. 7" was his greatest medal, the best proof.

Regrettably, as individuals from outside the metropolis, the female warriors of the Dueling Nation had little conceptual knowledge of the famed [Hero], leading to Alcana's display of such an attitude.

"Reiger."

Finn was already used to this.

Given his little people identity, he had often been underestimated like this, both in the past and even now.

Now being looked down upon by Alcana, Finn not only remained unfazed but calmly called out to Reiger.

Reiger's furrowed brows deepened, yet he still stepped forward, coming to stand beside Finn.

"I know you, Alcana Jali Fu." Reiger said indifferently: "Since you want to talk to me, I'll be straightforward with you."

"Where are Theona and Theone?"

"And where are our companions you captured?"

Indeed.

Not only Theona and Theone, but the Jali Clan also captured other members of the Loki Clan.

This event had occurred not long ago.

The Jali Clan blocked the main road to Orario while sending people into the city to cause a ruckus in the streets, capturing Loki members present in the area at that time.

This clearly was with ill intent.

This was evidently a provocation.

Faced with one of the strongest factions in the metropolis, the Jali Clan not only showed no fear but brazenly took action against them.

This was why even Finn was in a bad mood.

"Rest assured." Alcana ignored the icy, angry glares from the Loki Clan members and spoke leisurely: "They are here."

As she spoke, several female warriors behind Alcana escorted a few individuals forward.

"Mmm! Mmm...!"

The captured members of the Loki Clan, upon seeing Reiger and the others, immediately began struggling fiercely.

"Theona! Theone!"

Ais called out instinctively.

Among these individuals, Theona and Theone were indeed present.

However, like their fellow members, both had their mouths stuffed with cloth, unable to speak, and their bodies bound in chains.

Reiger noticed at once, these were chains made of Mithril.

Bound by such chains, even top-level adventurers found it hard to escape. If the tied-up person used magic, this high magic conductivity metal would immediately react, blowing apart the parts tied along with the chains.

Thus, neither Theona nor Theone could do anything but struggle incessantly, one with a face flushed red, and the other with eyes ablaze with fury, wishing they could bite a piece of flesh off Alcana.

Seeing this scene, Reiger instead felt relieved.

At least, these two were alright.
