E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 21 - Plan
Slowly, Dimas' eyes began to open. Bringing his consciousness back to his body.
What he saw was the same sight as usual. A dark mine, with several people seen to have been lying helpless.
"Have the soldiers come?" Dimas asked one of the men who was lying down with a shivering body.
"Ah, number 30.... Soldiers may be coming soon. Thanks for reminding me." Said the man while trying to get up.
"Is that so? Thanks." Reply Short Dimas.
What Dimas had in mind right now was several things.
Why did he faint.
What to do when the soldier comes.
Should He care about others?
His first question was immediately answered after Dimas saw his own two hands.
A moment after focusing for a while, his A level skill [Clairvoyance] immediately activated by itself. Dimas felt that his Mana energy was slightly absorbed due to the activation of the vision skill.
But what he saw was much more extraordinary than his expectations.

All the information appeared before him like a translucent window with writing in it.
'How incredible! I can see all this detailed information?! Just with that A level power?! My choice is absolutely right! With this....'
If you pay attention to the reactions of those around you, it seems that no one can be aware of the information window. Only he himself can see it.
Dimas immediately turned his gaze to his own clothes. Trying to see what has changed.
...[.Object : Clothing]...
...[.Low-level Fabric Clothing]...

...Durability: 9/20...

...- Enchantment -...
...Increased Warmth - C Rank...
'How incredible! So this is what it feels like to be able to see any information that is in front of me?! How interesting! But.... Why is this increase in warmth only C level? Is there a problem?'
After thinking about it for a moment while recalling the information he had just seen, Dimas finally arrived at a single conclusion.
That he had just run out of mana. It was explained why the Enchantment level he obtained was only at the C level. Not higher, not lower.
The effect because he was eager to obtain warm clothes made him drain his Mana to the end. And it stopped at level C increasing the warmth on her clothes.
'Hmm.... In other words I am still very lacking in utilizing this skill. But instead, I have a potential that is still much greater in the future.'
While thinking about it, Dimas finally solved his first problem why he suddenly fainted.
Solving the problem indirectly helped him answer the third problem. Should he help others or not.
The answer is very simple.
Not that he won't help, but he can't do it right now. And to be honest, Dimas himself did not care about their fate in the future because he himself had seen many people who suffered worse fate.
Or with another word...
A sacrifice necessary for the safety of others.
Now for the second problem....
Dimas watched the iron chains that bound his legs. The chain is connected to an iron ball that is not too big, but heavy enough to inhibit movement.
'This fuckin' thing.... I won't survive fighting a soldier with this thing. How do I get rid of it?'
After thinking for a moment, Dimas thought of strengthening a stone until it was sharp enough to cut through the iron.
But the thought was immediately stopped by him because he did not want to do something stupid that his great opportunity would fail.
Cutting iron with stone?
No matter how well the stone was upgraded, it was likely that the stone would fail to cut it or disintegrate first.
That way, Dimas again pondered and fell silent.
Thinking about what to do.
When he was busy in his own thoughts....
"Hey, number 30. You've prepared something for you to give to the soldiers later?" Ask a man who walked up to the Dimas.
"Ah, yes. I still have the remaining gold and silver from the mine yesterday. What about you, 52?" Ask Dimas back.
"Well.... Lucky you. You can get more food rations today if so. I myself only have useless rocks. I think the soldiers will reduce my food rations again this time."
Dimas's mind immediately came to a halt after hearing the word number 52.
What stopped him was one word.
That's reduction.
'Wait first.... What if instead of adding power to an object, but reducing it.... Will it work?'
Dimas immediately placed his right hand on the iron chain without replying to the word number 52.
After successfully doing so once, Dimas had little understanding of how this power works.
He focused his mind and then drained enough Mana. This time, Dimas only drained half of his Mana.
While what he wants....
'Make this iron brittle.'
What happened next was in line with his expectations. A red magic circle with a hint of reddish light began to appear on Dimas' palm.
"Tu-wait first! What did you just do, 30?!" Shouts number 52 confusion when looking at that light.
But Dimas was silent, not answering him a word.
After exactly about 5 seconds of light and the red magic circle appeared, all the light that existed seemed to be absorbed into the iron chain.
And what happened....
'Kreetta!'
The chain immediately cracked with just enough pressure from Dimas' right hand.
'Successful!'
This time, the smile that Dimas made was much wider than when he was able to have a positive effect on his clothes.
With the ability to give negative effects, now the potential it has is even far beyond what Dimas himself imagined.
'This power.... If I had mastered it....'
Various possibilities, potentials, plans and various actions that must be done immediately crossed his head.
Just like when he received a hard education from his parents.
'Every information is a weapon. And the strongest weapon is not a sword or magic, but rather an intelligence honed with the right abilities.'
Dimas recalled one of his father's mainstay sentences when he was educating him first. And now change it a little bit to adjust it to the current situation.
'Slicing!'
With a strong pressure, Dimas managed to smash the chain into pieces. Releasing himself from his greatest restraint.
The number 52 who saw it could only gap as wide as possible. I can't believe what he just saw.
Suddenly....
'Client!'
Dimas threw a small chunk of silver he found to number 52, including 3 gold coins in his possession.
"52, help me and you can have that chunk of silver for you."
'Lunches!!'
Number 52, the man with black hair swallowed his own saliva. Prepare yourself for what is going to happen.
Soon after, Dimas gave his plan in detail.
A plan....
To escape the oppression of this inhumane Baron Gilbert.
