Origin Of Evil 86 Escape

Despite seeing his foot, the swordsman didn't even try to get away. No, he did, but he refused to let his sword go.

As his foot hit the swordsman's chest, Dorian let the sword go. He felt the bones shatter under his foot and the man got sent flying.

Then Rock arrived on him. Following logic, the swordsman must specialize in Speed and Perception, Rock in Strength and Vitality, and Erudit in Intelligence. Although it wasn't 100% sure, it didn't really matter to him…

Dorian looked at the approaching Rock, still unmoving. Rock lifted his hand, and formed a fist. Dorian was surprised to see a white aura form around the fist.

It looked strong. Moreover, he could feel that the fist seemed to attract him… Still, it wasn't strong enough. As the fist approached his head, Dorian suddenly ducked down. However, he was surprised to see Rock react.

The white aura surrounding the fist moved toward Rock's elbow, and his fist suddenly stopped, only for the elbow to start falling down towards Dorian's back.

Dorian was stunned. Rock ad the same skill as him? This looked exactly like his skill [Force Share], along with a strong level in Hand to Hand Combat.

Unfortunately for Rock, Dorian had this skill too, and he knew how it could be used. As the aura neared his back, Dorian formed a spear with his two fingers, and stabbed at Rock's kidneys, strengthening his fingers with Life Essence.

Rock didn't bother to evade, as he had faith in his defence. What could two fingers do to him? And as expected, Dorian's fingers just bounced off the muscles.

However, Rock's elbow, which was a few centimeters away from Dorian's back, suddenly stopped. Panic appeared in his eyes, as he realized what was about to happen. Unfortunately, even though he knew, it was no use.

But as Dorian was about to hit Rock, he suddenly felt a huge force strike him from his side, sending him flying. But as he looked, there was nothing there.

He didn't even have the time to stop himself when it hit him again, flattening him on the ground. Although he didn't know where it came from, he looked at Erudit. He was looking focused, looks like he is the one doing it.

Dorian wanted to attack him, but he felt a force press him on the ground. Erudit smiled, his face a little paler than usual, and said "You really are too arrogant. Had you bothered to ask who I am, you would have understood. I am the owner of this place. And there are multiple arrays around that surpa.s.s any Evolver, which I can use at will."

Dorian said "You really are useless, I bought the item in your own shop." Erudit frowned and said "Still arrogant huh. Do you think I won't kill you?"

Dorian rolled his eyes and said "You are getting arrogant." As he said that, he bursted his Life Essence out of his body. Life Essence was weird. Other than being a special energy, it allowed him to boost his abilities.

The thing is, he didn't know by how much. He could feel that he was faster, stronger and more resilient, but his attributes didn't change.

Still, his rise in power was undeniable. Dorian rose against the pressure on his back, although with some difficulty, he still rose. He looked at Erudit, grinned and said "Next time, you won't have your arrays…"

Erudit looked shocked but he still said "You… Although its impressive for you to resist, do you think you can escape? Even if you go down the stairs, the pressure will be the same. Do you think you can fight against Rock and Hatari at the same time? In your state?"

Dorian looked at the fallen swordsman and said "Hatari… Looks like he is out of service for now. I broke his chest bones, his rib cage… And I can get out whenever I want."

Dorian unsheathed his sword, and said "I could fight you, but I am indeed at a disadvantage. See you soon, Erudit."

Dorian turned around and suddenly slashed out at the wall. Although it was st.u.r.dy, Dorian's sword was a weapon of destruction.

The wall crumbled in front of the might of his sword. Dorian turned around t look at Erudit, and saw he was turning red. Looks like this wall was quite expensive to repair. He nodded and said "Pray we don't meet in a world…"

Dorian jumped out. Instantly, the pressure disappeared from his back. He heard Erudit cry out from behind "You will die because of your arrogance, sooner or later!"

Dorian smirked and suddenly turned around in the air. When he had jumped, he had grabbed one of the pebbles from the destroyed wall. Using the force of his spin and some Life Essence, Dorian threw the pebble at Erudit's face.

The later looked at the pebble shocked but he didn't have the time to move away. But before it could kill him, Rock put himself in front of Erudit. The pebble hit his left peck, harmlessly breaking on contact.

Dorian smiled and flew down. Although he jumped from the 8th floor, for him the fall wasn't anything. As he landed, the people around looked at him astonished. What just happened?

But Dorian ignored them and was about to go away when he heard a familiar voice call him out "Guild Leader!" Dorian looked, and saw Carla walking toward him. What a coincidence, they met here. She really did her thing quickly.

Dorian waited for her and asked "You finished what you wanted to do?"

She nodded and walked next to him. The two left the scene and headed toward the elevator. After some time Dorian asked "What will you do now? Return in Eden?"

Carla shook her head and said " No, I'll return to Earth. I… I need to do something there." She looked a little down, but Dorian didn't say anything. First, it wasn't his business. Secondly, Carla was in her late 20s, while he was only 17. On Earth, problems couldn't really be resolved with strength, not with the organization there.

So a teen still in high school couldn't really help a 20 something years old. Moreover, from her look it didn't seem to be a problem related to the realms, but a real life problem. Whatever, if she needs help she'll ask him.

The two arrived at the elevator and asked "How do we return on Earth?" Carla replied "We need to return to our room. You just need to get in your bed and will to come back on Earth."

Dorian squinted his eyes and said "Will I just wake up?" Carla looked at him and said "Yeah, why?" Dorian asked "I remained some time here, not much but still. What if I stayed here for three days, would I have slept for 3 days on Earth?"

Carla sighed and said "It's really weird, time is dilated in all kinds of forms. The time that pa.s.ses will depend on who you frequent, your guild… Dreamland will do its best so that your closed ones won't notice your absence. If you life with someone else who isn't part of Dreamland then you will probably wake up a few hours after you fell asleep."

The two entered the elevator, and Dorian said "Dreamland is really weird." Carla closed the distance between them and said "Should we contact each other on Earth?"

Dorian looked down at her and said "No. My life in Dreamland and my life on Earth are different. I don't want them to get mixed. Is there someone capable of discovering my true ident.i.ty on Earth?"

Carla shrugged and said "I think among the strongest ones in the Empire should be able to find out if they focus on you, but they wouldn't, so you should be good."

Dorian nodded and said "Great. We can talk with the system if you want." Carla smiled and said "Sure." The cabin opened and she got out, waving at him, before it closed again and he headed toward his own house.
