His clothes looked normal. Honestly, Dorian's first impression of the man was that he was frail. He would have added weak, if it weren't for the place they were in, and most importantly his eyes.
As he slowly walked up the stairs, the two locked eyes. What he saw was intelligence. Not that illusive intelligence from the attributes, but true unadulterated intelligence. At the same time, he felt a danger like no other.
Except that this danger didn't come from his newly acquired sixth sense of danger. No, it came from the little voice at the back of his mind. That little voice told him, that this man was dangerous. Extremely so.
But as they looked at each other, Dorian felt something unexpected. Something, he didn't think he would feel again. That something he seeked yet couldn't find. Excitement!
The man in front of him looked wary though. Calm, but on edge. Dorian let out a smile and looked away, back to his purchase. The man with gla.s.ses looked at Dorian's back with alarm in his eyes, and said "Rock."
The tank like black man nodded and said "Boss, we have found a Bronze item, a s.p.a.ce time device like you asked."
Gla.s.ses nodded and asked "Where is it?" Rock looked at Dorian and said "Next to him. 3rd row."
Dorian looked back at Rock, then Gla.s.ses and said "I'm King. Who are you."
Actually, back when he first unlocked his [Butcher] t.i.tle, Dorian learned that he could use his t.i.tle instead of his actual username. Presenting himself as [Boring Guy] would make less of an effect, so he decided to present himself using his actual t.i.tle.
Gla.s.ses looked at Dorian up and down with an interested gaze, and replied after a moment "I am Erudit. Have you seen the item?"
Dorian wondered whether this was his t.i.tle or his username. But he was surprised at the coincidence though. Erudit wasn't just a meaningless word, in French it meant scholar, which was the first impression the man gave him.
Was it a mere coincidence, or was he from Earth too?
Dorian showed his hand, and said "I bought it." Gla.s.ses frowned and said "I need it. How much for it?"
Dorian took his hand back and shook his head "Not for sale. And it costed me 500 000 DC, I doubt you can repay me…"
Erudit put his hands in his pockets and said "I have 500 000 DC ready, can I buy it?" Dorian sneered and replied "Why would I sell it to you? And even if I did, I wouldn't sell it for only 500 000 DC, or I would just have wasted my time. And my time is very precious."
Erudit tilted his head and asked "You don't know who I am, do you?" Dorian sneered "Should I?"
But Erudit didn't answer, and instead said "You don't know me, you are probably a newbie, you can't have gone through than two worlds without hearing of me. But you have enough DC to buy this item, so you must be strong. To be this strong, with only this much worlds… You don't seem to be lying either. Indeed, your time must be precious."
Dorian rolled his eyes and was about to say something when Rock asked "Boss, why is his time precious?" Instantly, Dorian's eyes s.h.i.+fted to Rock, then back to Erudit.
Erudit took it as him having to explain, so he said "The people with the most potential have time limits, they only have a limited time to enter the worlds. Just like you, you can't stay out of a world for more than three weeks."
Dorian frowned at Rock. If what Erudit was speaking truthfully, then this Rock was a potential danger. Erudit said "Since your time is precious, let's not waste any more. How much do you want?"
Dorian smirked and said "I won't sell it, I need it myself." Erudit replied "Everyone has a price." Dorian said "Indeed, but Dream Coins have a lesser value compared to this object for me. So no matter how many Dream Coins you offer, I won't sell the item."
Erudit pushed his gla.s.ses up and said "So I need to trade something else… Why can't I take it by force then?" Dorian replied "Why are you asking me?"
Erudit smiled for the first time, and said "I think I understand. You are strong, and you have become arrogant because of said strength."
Dorian's eyes froze as he said "Arrogant? You're the one to talk." Erudit a that little annoying smile, just seeing it annoyed Dorian. He said "You named yourself King, isn't that arrogance?"
From the corner of his eyes Dorian saw both Rock and the swordsman had tensed, it looked like they were together after all. Dorian said "Then yes, I am arrogant. But does it change anything? Here, let me tell you something: The three of you aren't enough."
However, Erudit wasn't annoyed in the least. Instead, his light smile widened a little as he said "It's two against you. I am weak."
Dorian looked at him surprised, why was he saying that? Did he want to make Dorian take pity on him? No, he wasn't that dumb.
Dorian grabbed the hilt of his sword, almost making the two act, but he didn't unsheathe it, instead he said "Enough games. I'm not selling it to you."
Erudit shrugged and said "Too bad. Would you be interested in joining my guild then?" Dorian's grip on his sword lightened a bit as he said "I already created my own."
Erudit shrugged and said "It doesn't matter, you can still join mine. Do you love authority that much?"
Dorian shook his head slowly and said "Whether I want to join or not, it doesn't matter. You won't be able to accept me in your guild."
Erudit asked "Why is that?" Dorian replied "My guild is named Origin of Evil. If you didn't hear of me yet, you will."
Erudit's eyes widened a little as he said "It's you, you are the Wolf." Dorian chuckled "The Wolf? Is that the name you people gave me? Not bad, slaughterer of Sheep, the wolf is indeed a good choice."
Erudit regained his bearings and said "Indeed, accepting you in my guild is difficult. My Ascension is already going to be hard enough, adding you in wouldn't be the wisest choice… But aren't you afraid of giving out your ident.i.ty this easily? You must be aware you are chased."
Dorian nodded "I am. But it doesn't matter, because I am invincible amongst Evolvers. Not even your two b.i.t.c.hes can do anything against me."
As he said that, Erudit seemed a little agitated, and he looked like he wanted to say something, but before he could Dorian felt a wind come from his left.
Had it been before entering the shop, his Perception and Agility would have been too low to react, but now, he could clearly see the calm swordsman was the one attacking.
He had moved so fast that it almost looked like teleportation, and now his sword was descending on Dorian's head. Unfortunately for him, even though the swordsman was fast, faster than Dorian even, he still wasn't enough.
Dorian didn't dodge. Instead, he raised his hand and grabbed the sword midair. The attack was powerful, and the cutting power was great as it was able to cut through Dorian's glove and enter a few centimeters in his hand. But the moment it came in contact with a bone, the sword stopped.
Dorian smirked. As he expected, this swordsman main attribute was Agility. For him to have an even stronger Agility attribute than Dorian, it meant he had even better equipment than him, or at least more of it enhanced his Agility.
Because it was almost impossible for someone to have Bronze equipment among Evolvers, it probably meant this man had focused almost all his equipments on Agility. But at the same time, he had a strong enough Strength attribute to stand here, so he must have some for Strength.
But in the end, it must only be one or two of them, because to keep up with his own speed, the swordsman must have a pretty good Perception attribute. And Dorian considered himself an exception, he must be one of the only ones to have all his stats at 30. This man must have only one or two stats at 30, probably Agility and Strength. So he must have also used several equipments for his Perception.
Dorian concluded this man's major attribute was Agility, and that for the power of his attacks he relied on his sword. But Dorian's Vitality reached 35, and his Strength 41. That's why he was confident his Strength would overwhelm the swordsman's and stop the sword, and his Vitality would lessen the damage.
And Dorian didn't want to reveal his wings, so it would have been difficult to dodge the man's sword. Even if he could, the man was faster than him so he would have striked once again, hitting this time.
All of that pushed Dorian in grabbing the sword. Now, although there was blood, the wound wasn't that bad. Moreover, because of his vastly superior Strength, the swordsman couldn't move.
Of course, it was also to show off, as a scared enemy was an easy prey.
