Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Five
Inside the stillness of his pocket dimension, where time bent to his will, Crow stood in front of a summoning circle glowing with deep red runes. With a flick of his hand, he activated the S-rank hero book.
The magic surged—and from the light emerged a stocky, broad-shouldered dwarven warrior clad in reinforced runeplate armor. A thick, braided beard flowed over his chest, and his eyes held a battle-hardened gleam.
Grumdir Ironheart, the S-Rank Dwarven Hero, had arrived.
He dropped to one knee, slamming a gauntleted fist over his chest.
"By the forge and flame, I answer yer call, Master. What war must we wage?"
Crow nodded, pleased. Another powerful ally had joined his ranks… and the world remained blissfully unaware.
