Chapter 341 Power Of The Bartender

"Wait!" The girl exclaimed. She was trembling with fear, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

"You can't kill me! Hunting a human was an order. Do you really want to piss THEM off?"

"I? Afraid? You seem to be nothing but a pathetic novice who knows nothing of real power." Sven clenched his hand into a fist, and the girl's arms and legs clamped tightly to her body as if they were bound in tight chains.

The girl didn't know what to do. She hoped that her threat would work and Sven would at least let her go and not kill her, but her last hope failed. Despite her words, Sven's eyes were still as cold, and not a shred of fear emanated from him.

"I've already had to remind you once that only well-mannered people come into my bar. The others don't belong here. You'll be the second." Sven said calmly and snapped his finger.

Invisible chains sank into the girl's flesh, and then she exploded. Blood and scraps of flesh were scattered to the sides and stained the right side of the bar.

"Damn, she really looked like an insect. Only there's just as much dirt left after them." Sven muttered and went into the back room.

'',

He came back with a mop and a bucket of water and headed out to clean up the puddles of blood. Sven looked like nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

"I didn't know you could get mad." Wain said.

He was very impressed by the scene. He didn't know who this girl was, but he assumed that her identity wasn't simple since she could get into the bar without a portal or a key. That meant she was strong enough to move freely in a dark space without harming herself. Wain realized that he was not yet strong enough to fight such creatures.

"Ah, never mind. I just can't stand it when someone so rude comes in here and leaves a mess behind."

"Hmm? The first time I came here, I left bloody footprints behind me."

"You were wounded and passed the test of the World of Darkness. It's only natural."

"Wain, I understand that you want to ask about what just happened and find out who this girl was, but I won't answer your questions. It's none of your business, especially since I don't know who it was anyway." Sven said seriously, and a bit of an aura came out of him.

'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',

"Okay, in that case, see you later."

"Sure. As the bartender and owner of this establishment, I apologize for this inconvenience."

Wain nodded and headed for the exit.

...

The situation was extraordinary, and on the way home, all Wain could think about was this. This little battle showed him how weak he still was compared to some of the creatures in this world.

The girl could easily kill him, while Sven crushed her in one move. Each of them was on a completely different level.

Wain was also able to learn something. He realized that besides the Pillars, there was some other meaningful force in this world, and for some reason, some of them preyed on the humans.

'Hmm, if this girl was given such an order, her superiors definitely had something to do with why the humans were banished long ago. Great, that's a small step forward to solving it.'

'',

Wain was pleased that the puzzle was slowly beginning to piece together, and he knew which direction he needed to go, but he was frustrated that he first had to become as strong as this girl, and that's the minimum.

'It all happened too fast, and I didn't even identify which Chronicle she was from, but if she's so strong, why didn't she and others like her attack me when I was on the continent?'

The girl was able to find Wain because she could feel the energy fluctuations coming from him. She could have attacked Wain when he was on the continent, but she would have met the same fate as Sven.

The World of Destiny is a world made up of all the other worlds, and, in such a place, there were powerful beings who protected the borders of that world from enemies. One such creature, for example, might have been an ancient dragon.

'Well, I got more questions than answers again this time, but at least I learned something new. It looks like Sven isn't just a bartender, and it's his hobby, he used to be a warrior for sure.' Wain decided and returned to his Void.

In Forest of Frozen Dreams, all was quiet, and the monsters gradually evolved and became stronger. Thanks to Wain, monsters could evolve quickly, but they had to come up to the limit of Chronicle to do so. Even with the many resources and bonuses of the zone, this would take a long time.

Wain wanted to talk to Edena and Lui Bu about blood essence potions, but he didn't have time for that right now. He had made a promise to one man, and he would keep it.

'I guess I'll get a good rest tonight.' Wain thought and opened a spatial rift.

...

A bright blue moon illuminated the island and the massive waterfall flowing beneath it.

A girl with short gray hair and emerald eyes stood not far from the wooden city walls.

Eva stared at the moon and waited for someone to come.

Whoooosh.

A strong gust of wind came, and Eva covered her eyes briefly.

"Hey, didn't you wait long?" Wain said, suddenly appearing in front of her.

"No...I..." Eva wanted to say something, but Wain prevented her from doing so. He took her by the neck and kissed her.

"You know you don't always have to be so modest." Wain said.

"What...?"

"I didn't fall in love with you because we've been together for months and not because sometimes you're nice and sometimes you're crazy. I fell in love with you because, with you, I could do anything I wanted and not restrain myself, so I suggest you do the same."
