It was very plausible that the dwarves were hard to encounter. Their village is so full of obstacles to get through. Aqua and the others had to pass through a deep abyss and various magic traps if they used normal means.
But Aqua wasn't that stupid. She was planning something with Mika earlier. The two of them realized that there were several guardian dwarves watching them, so they deliberately stopped by a cave to attract the attention of the dwarves. They also deliberately expose their weaknesses so that the dwarves know that they are not dangerous and do not intend to fight them.
Once the dwarves realized their superiority, the dwarves would blatantly capture them both for interrogation and utilizing them.
Aqua and Mika had indeed deliberately caught themselves. Yet are they really in a condition of not being able to fight back? Stupid if you are. In fact their physical strength was quite great due to the difference in levels that were far away. Plus the "skill" in addition to the element's blessing doesn't need "where". Because their energy source is different.
Aqua has another inventory ring that functions like a regular item box, time does not stop and space is limited. But that was more than enough, the room in a ring the size of a village was only filled with water.
Thanks to the Leviathan granting skill, Aqua could control the water as she pleased without using any mana at all. As much water as a village or a small lake could be controlled at will? That's obviously very dangerous.
What about Mika? It seems that the girl does not need to be discussed anymore.
At its most basic, its wings, are already very dangerous. Mika has a skill that makes her wings can be as sharp as a sword. His wings had roughly 700,000 feathers as sharp as a sword that he could control at will. That was just the basic skill of the Arc-Angel. Not yet another skill, currently there are no creatures other than Mika who know how many skills Arc-Angel Michael has.
"It's amazing." amazed Eli.
Aqua, Mika, Eli and Hell have arrived at a place that looks like an underground temple connected to the cave. There is a giant statue of a woman who is worshipped as the only Goddess of Demetria, the Goddess Athena.
The dwarves bowed respectfully to the Goddess, after which one of them touched the flower part on the Goddess statue and moved it to a bent.
DRRRGGGGGG
The room shook, like an earthquake. Before long a ladder leading underground appeared. The dwarves pulled the Aqua group down with them. Inside was not something as extraordinary as an underground city or something as sinister as a prison. Just a small room with a round altar painted an intricate magic circle.
« That teleportation magic circle, huh? »
Mika's voice was sent to Aqua's head. Currently Aqua and Mika were using a special telepathy that they had created themselves.
« Yes, dwarf must have gone to his village through there »
Aqua pulled the corner of her lips.
« Mika, please do that »
« Okay! »
Mika's gaze focused on that circle. The symbol ⁇ ️ reappears and spins quickly like a slender so it looks very beautiful. Currently, Mika was storing the data of the magic circle with her eyes so that later they could make it themselves. You could say like screenshots in android smartphone.
« I've saved the data »
« Thank you »
Aqua glanced at the dwarves who were busy discussing with each other. Now Aqua and the others were being held captive by the dwarves in the condition of their hands in handcuffs and chained together.
"Hey, are you guys gonna take us?" aqua Fishing.
"Shut up boy! This has nothing to do with you!!" angry with a dwarf.
"No, no, which you are holding us," said Aqua.
Aqua let out a thin smile in ridicule.
"Are you sure? Bringing dangerous people like us to your village?"
The dwarves were stunned, before long they laughed out loud as if making fun of Aqua's words. They continued to mock Aqua and the others stoically and unconsciously at their position. Dwarves were indeed a race with too high pride and arrogance. A little different but similar to Elves.
"That's enough," inner Aqua.
The dwarves activated their magic circle and pulled the Aqua group close to them. The magic circle was emitting a bright red radiance from the middle to the edge. A moment after the red light reached the farthest part, the dwarf and Aqua group disappeared from there.

The beautiful scenery that was much different from the underground cave welcomed their eyes.
It looks like a village surrounded by forests and mountain cliffs. It felt like the village was built inside a mountain pit (where volcanic lava ). It's a really remote place. It was hard to imagine that one could enter there without passing through the teleportation circle portal earlier.
« Rocco Village. Now it's just about making a weapon and bringing the dwarf child, right? » smile Mika.
« Yes, our plan just started from now » replied Aqua rather lazy.
"Hurry now!!" the shrieks of the dwarves holding their chains.
Aqua, Mika, Eli and Hell are forcibly pulled into the village. The look on Eli and Hell's face looked very upset, especially Hell. He would have killed all those who were there if not for Aqua's ban. The level of the dwarves was nothing more than 300, above 200 alone was quite rare. The only dwarf who was over 500 was Jasper Chalcedony, and he was gone.
"Why are you bringing strangers in, Khal!!!" angry old-looking dwarf.
To be honest in Mika's eyes, all these dwarves were the same. It was hard to tell who was older and who was younger because their faces all looked like short old men.
"They're bastards who think they can buy our product. Who do they think they are, hahahaha!" another dwarf laughter.
"Hm... Half-elf, Kynlaus and two humans huh," the dwarf murmured.
For the record, Mika without rings and wings looks like a human in general. So is Heolstor now. As long as they hid their auras well, the other races would consider them human.
DUUUGGH
"Basic fool!! Whatever the reason, bringing a stranger to the village was against the rules!!! Can you be held responsible if they're dangerous!!!"
"Pardon me old man Ghor!!!" regret the dwarf. "They can't use magic here, if it's just physical ability, we dwarves will win."
DUUUGGH
"This is why I don't trust you, stupid young dwarf!!!!" hit again.
The old Dwarf approached and observed Aqua, Mika, Eli and Hell closely. His gaze greatly disturbed Aqua, but it was a natural reaction for people to pay close attention to the intruders of their territory.
"......."
Those dwarf eyes looked extremely sharp as if they could split them with that gaze.
"Let them go!" exclaiming old dwarves.
"Eh?? But why, old man?!!" confused young dwarf.
The gaze of the old dwarf sharpened to the group of young dwarves that snared Aqua and the others.
"If you don't want to die, let them go!!!"
"Ba-good!!!"
The young dwarves instantly released Aqua and the others. They probably thought that the old dwarves would kill them if they did not follow his orders. But that was not what the old dwarf meant.
Aqua rubbed her wrists twisting. The boy also gently pulled Mika's hand in front of him. A red circle imprinted on Mika's white wrist due to the rusty iron handcuffs that the dwarves used.
Mika, "?"
Aqua knew, with Mika's ability and level right now, such a wound would quickly recover even if it was just silenced. But he's still upset. It felt like he destroyed all the iron that was there and tortured the dwarves earlier.
But he abandoned all that intention. Aqua gently rubbed Mika's hand with her finger. Miraculously, the wound instantly disappeared without a trace. After making sure no injuries were left behind, Aqua lowered Mika's hand slowly.
"Thank you" Mika smiled.
"It's fine, it's just for my personal satisfaction," Aqua softly replied.
