Gripping his old grey rank [Steel Sword], Dorian felt himself being a little uncomfortable. Because he couldn't use his left arm, it left openings in his stance. Moreover, his sword was supposed to be used two handed.
This could be countered by his impressive strength which allows him to manipulate it easily with one hand. But the problem isn't here.
Unlike what many thinks, one handed swordsmanship doesn't just use one hand, the other hand is used to counter balance the sword swinging arm. So being unable to use his left arm would limit his skill with the sword.
So again, even though he had maxed his [Basic Swordsmanship], he would more be using his strength and speed than his techniques. But that doesn't mean maxing his swordsmanship was useless, because it doesn't only teach him techniques, but also how to cut the most effectively, how to hold the sword right and also to use the sword well as whole.
Finally, the intruders approached him. Dorian immediately recognized one of them as the personal bodyguard of the City Lord, which he had seen when he went to save Charles.
As they approached, weapon in hand, Dorian released his killing aura and asked "What do you want?"
There were five people, and they were all superhumans. Three were below Arteon, the werewolf Stinger, in term of strength, one was equal and one was even above him.
But to Dorian, they were all vastly inferior to the Demon in term of danger. Even if they had techniques, they couldn't possibly best him. Though, that's if they are alone. Now, Dorian wondered, could he beat them if they work together, and without using his bloodline skills?
But it seemed he wouldn't get to know it because one of the three weakest, the City Lord's female bodyguard, said "Sir, we have been sent here by the Lord to inform you that in two days, we shall launch an assault on the last remaining Stingers as well as the Red Scorpion. We are here to ask whether you will take part in it?"
Dorian took back his killing aura and said "I will." The female nodded and the five made their way up the cave. As for Dorian, he put his sword back into his spatial bag and looked at the two Sadunites.
He took off his mask and smiled "Why are you two still here?" Jun asked "What do you mean?"
Dorian said "I destroyed the Heart of the Mountain, so you are free to go." Indeed, he had received a notification already saying he had completed a side mission, that of freeing the two.
Jun scoffed "You would be like a lost lamb if we left you alone. Don't thank this benevolent being, it's in my nature."
Dorian let out a chuckle hearing him and said "Do you want to come with me when I finish that gang? I can help you go down the mountain then."
Jun didn't answer and instead asked "What do you intend on doing after you deal with the problems here?"
Dorian shrugged and replied "I'll depart from this city. I will then explore a bit unless I'm called back."
Jun tilted his head and asked "Called back?" Dorian nodded and said "Actually, I'm not here because of a coincidence or because of the war. I was sent here for a mission, well more of a test than a mission."
At the same time, Dorian asked in his head to the system "Can I reveal the existence of the system to other people?"
[Dreamers may only talk about the Dreamland to other Dreamers and their servants.]
Jun asked "What was your mission?" Dorian smiled and replied "Survive for a month. But if I eliminate all the threats early on then I don't know what will happen. Either I will be called back immediately, or I will be allowed to explore around for the rest of my time."
Dorian had already asked the system in the past and but it didn't answer.
Jun looked at Jok'ii, who nodded, and asked "If you can adventure around… Can we come with you?" Dorian looked into his fiery eyes and replied "Of course, it would be funny having you two around."
The two looked happy at his answer, but Dorian said "You can't get out of here until then though, we wouldn't want you to scare everyone."
The two nodded and Dorian said "I will take care of a few problems above today and tomorrow. I'll come back here before departing from the city."
Jok'ii asked all of a sudden "Can you take us with you to the fight? It looks like a great fight is about to take place."
Dorian shrugged and replied "If you want." Then he started walking up the mountain, heading to the city above.
It was the middle of the afternoon and yet it was snowing outside. But with his current Vitality, Dorian could walk around naked and he wouldn't feel the cold.
He headed towards Charles' house, to check on him. As he arrived there, he actually saw Amanda walking out of the house. On the way there he had changed into civil clothes, he had still kept his equipment though, the only things he took off were his mask and his robe.
He approached her and greeted her with a smile "Hey, what are you doing?"
She looked at him surprised and said "Hey, I'm going out. Do you want to come, I wouldn't mind some protection." Dorian smiled and replied "Sorry, I'm here to see your father. Maybe some other time?" She shrugged and walked off.
Looking at her back, Dorian wondered how could she interact so easily with him. Was it because he had saved her, she didn't see him as the Butcher?
He shrugged it off and knocked on the door. After a moment, a worried looking Charles opened the door. Charles face turned into shock upon seeing Dorian but he masked it and asked "I thought you forgot about me. Come in, come in."
Charles entered the house and Dorian followed him, closing the door behind him. As he followed Charles he saw Lucie who was also looking at him warily. She had the exact same reaction as Charles before smiling and saying "Good to see you Dorian."
Dorian nodded confused and sat at the table with the two. The atmosphere was unusually tense and no one talked. After a moment Charles said "Dorian, you… changed. What happened to you?"
Dorian looked at him and replied "Nothing much, fought with some people and did some unspeakable things. Now tell me, why are you so on guard."
The two looked at each other, in the eyes. What was weird was that they kept looking for too long. Ten seconds later Charles turned back to him and said "You do have the capacity of feeling danger, right?"
Dorian nodded and Charles said "We felt a great, unprecedented danger knocking at our door. Of course we were on guard. But to think it was you…"
Dorian frowned and said "You did? You two?" He looked at Lucie and said "I don't feel any danger coming from you, how could you possibly feel mine? Same for you Charles, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but your aren't really strong enough to feel my current strength."
Lucie smiled and with a flick of her finger, Dorian suddenly felt danger coming from the two. And it wasn't just any danger, both of them almost rivaled the demon!
Lucie said "Let me reintroduce myself. I am Lucie Bowman, also known as the Red Scorpion, level 2 Mage." Dorian's eyes grew wide as he heard her revelation.
On the side, Charles said "And I am Charles Bowman, level 2 Knight. I didn't want to hide it from you, but there was no point in showing it to you."

Dorian got a hold of his emotions and asked "Why didn't I feel anything before?" Lucie replied "Your senses aren't strong enough, they need to be at least at level 1 to feel past my enchantments."
Hearing her, Dorian realized that he had never met them with a Perception attribute of 20 or more. He asked "What are those levels you are speaking about?"
Charles replied "This is how Knights and Mages are classified. But now, let's talk business."
