Creatures Only Heard In Stories[1]

[Third Person POV],

The majority of the figures below her were armed with bows and arrows.

This was one of the reasons Anna approached cautiously to avoid being detected, but she never expected their senses to be so acute.

She hadn't even finished her observation plan when she was sensed, and judging by the way more than a dozen people turned to look at her at that moment, it was clear they discovered her solely through their senses and not by chance.

Anna became very wary of the figures in front of her after realising this.

The fact that they didn't appear to be humans heightened Anna's suspicions from the start.

The only reason she tried to get closer to them was because she was curious, and the only reason she stayed was that she saw that none of them appeared to have anything that could allow them to fly, so if something happened, all she had to do was fly away quickly.

This was the simple plan Anna had already devised in her head, but unfortunately for the inexperienced Anna, logic does not always work in the magical world.

As Anna continued to believe that everything was still under control, she noticed an elderly-looking figure among the grey-skinned figures below suddenly opens her mouth to speak.

"Fix the territorial stone and capture her for information," the elderly grey-skinned female said to her fellow people on the ground.

"Huh-

Anna was about to respond instinctively to what she had just heard, failing to recognize that she had just heard a strange language that sounded nothing like anything she had ever heard before and managed to understand it when she noticed a few people below her draw their bows.

When Anna saw this, she didn't need to be told what the female meant earlier as she immediately attempted to fly away from here at full speed but just before she could, the gray figures below began firing their arrows at her and looking at the way they each positioned their arrows to force her down from the air, it was obvious these beings didn't carry the bow and arrow for show and were very versed in it but fortunately for Anna, she was still able to dodge all these arrows without getting Mia hurt.

But, just as she thought she had escaped the attacks of the figures below her and was about to fly away, she was forced to a halt due to hitting something in the air that she couldn't see and nearly fell from the sky as a result since she was flying at the highest speed she could at the time.

Seeing as she couldn't see what hit her and wasn't willing to give up, Anna braced herself and went for it again, attempting to fly out of the current situation she was in while also attempting to dodge the grey figures attack on the ground.

When she dodged the round of attack and wanted to fly out again, she opened her eyes wide for anything that could act as an obstacle to her while tightly gripping the giggling Mia in her hands.

While she was forced to stop again, this time she saw what was stopping her, and rather than saying she saw it, she could sense it.

The thing that prevented Anna from leaving this place was a force field that surrounded a large space around her in the shape of a bowl, but this thing, while appearing to be something designed for defence, was now a trap for her, and she was currently in this trap.

Realising this, Anna decided to fight rather than try to escape, and because it didn't appear that the figures who could suddenly attack a person would be reasonable, Anna decided to go on the offensive for the first time.

With this thought in mind, the crow, which had previously shrunk in size, grew enormous once more and let out a loud screech.

......

Meanwhile, back to Emma and Chris' side a few hours ago, around the time Ace and Anna were contacting themselves.

Emma and Chris decided to devise a method for them to still rank up individual skills without causing confusion among themselves because they were two in the team and each of them had to kill monsters for their job quest.

The method was quite simple: one of them would kill a single monster first, and when they encountered another monster, the one who killed a monster last would have to step back so the other could kill as well, and if the one who was supposed to kill a monster couldn't handle the monsters, he would have to leave it to the other to kill again before repeating the cycle.

This had been their experience for the past few hours, and unlike Ace, who had an eventful night, Emma and Chris had a relatively normal experience.

That was only for the night because on their way home, they came across a large-looking portal similar to the one's Ace, Emma, Anna, and Chris had seen in the past, such as the dungeon entrance and the true world gateway, appear in front of them.

Rather than saying they came across it, it was better to say it appeared right in front of them, and because of the sudden appearance, they were taken back due to shock, and just before they could both move area from the surroundings due to these strange things that had just happened, several human-like figures appeared from the portal, and what most of them had in addition to being short were very large hammers, but this was not what Emma and Chris were most interested in.

What these two were focusing on was a short figure among the figures in front of them who stood out because of his hammer, which was a different color than the rest, and something on top of his head that revealed what species the figures in front of them were.

Species that had previously only been heard and seen in stories.

"Dwarves", They both muttered subconsciously.
