Chapter 400. The Mysterious Maiden
Chapter 400. The Mysterious Maiden
Boom!
Just as Myne was checking how much mana he had recovered and how long it was going to last, and Alex was contemplating where he should spend his newfound wealth, a deafening explosion erupted from beneath the bar. The entire building shuddered as if struck by a powerful earthquake.
While the entire bar was shaking and most of the people inside worried that the bar might collapse on their heads at any moment, as it was indeed not in good condition, which could be seen from outside, Myne, on the other hand, taking advantage of everyone's disturbance, quickly hid under a table in the corner and activated his most hated skill, Mirror's Masquerade.
[ Mirror's Masquerade (Active Skill): By invoking this magical skill, a person can reflect the appearance of others nearby, assuming their likeness with uncanny accuracy. After changing his appearance, the Host's Mana doesn't consume, but the process is extremely painful, so please do it in a secluded location.
Unless the other person is a master of deception skills or has special means, no one can see through your disguise.
Cooldown Time: 2 hours after each use. ]
While the "Mirror's Masquerade" skill boasted impressive capabilities, far surpassing the easily penetrated "Illusory Veil," its transformation process was excruciatingly painful. Just a few minutes ago, Myne had activated it in a fit of excitement, forgetting about the agony. Only Myne knows how loud his scream was at that time.
The Last time was accidental, but this time, however, the situation demanded more caution. He was dealing with a powerful figure, and revealing his identity was simply too risky. Despite his immense reluctance, he was forced to utilize this damn skill again. Now that everyone was distracted, it presented a perfect opportunity.
However, this time, Myne didn't choose to become a demon. Although it's quite cool to fight as a demon, sadly, their identity is a bit too sensitive and the potential consequences are too severe. Yes, it's okay to bully some weaklings by wearing demon skin, but when it comes to powerful people, it's better to become a random nobody so at least you don't attract unnecessary hate.
Don't forget, the demon kingdom has been at war with almost all other kingdoms, and now if he really wears demon skin and messes around in the natural kingdom, won't he just ignite unnecessary chaos and risk countless innocent lives for no reason?
As Myne pondered the ideal appearance to adopt, he spotted a sight. A two-meter-tall, muscular, middle-aged man with a shiny bald head was fleeing the bar in an embarrassing manner with his hands on top of his head, and his attractive companion who was surprisingly a flat-chested loli, trailing behind him.
Without hesitation, Myne conjured the image of this man in his mind and activated "Mirror's Masquerade."
Alex, whose anger had calmed down quite a lot after venting, subconsciously wanted to take the wine bottle out of sadness. But when he saw the bottle golden liquid inside the bottle, his hand froze mid-air. Without caring that Myne could beat him because of his action, he channelled his dark magic and conjured an energy hand.
It snatched the Humblesun Golden Wine from Myne's grasp and hurled it across the bar.
However, amidst the audience, as Alex threw the bottle, a single figure, cloaked in an oversized robe, raised a hand. The wine bottle defied gravity, pivoting mid-air and landing neatly in his palm. Without a word, the mysterious man concealed the bottle within the folds of his robe, leaving everyone speechless.
"You bastard! How dare you bring this wretched thing into my bar! Don't think you are more powerful than me so you can do whenever you want..."
Alex roared, his face flushed red. A dark aura pulsed around him, and Myne could feel that the other party's anger was genuine. But the problem was that he really didn't understand the reason why Alex suddenly became so angry for no reason. After all, hadn't Alex displayed a deep affection for wine? He even broke down in tears over his shattered bottles.
Yet, when offered the greatest wine in the kingdom (according to Sylphy), a gesture of goodwill, Alex loses control, seemingly ready to fight to the death.
However, before Alex could finish cursing Myne and explain the reason behind his sudden outburst, a loud bang resonated. The two-meter-tall room to the right of the counter burst open, revealing an extraordinarily beautiful young girl around Aisha's age.
Her short black hair was adorned with a single blue flower tucked behind her right ear. Her face, cute yet cold and indifferent, framed by striking purple eyes accentuated by round, slim goggles. She wore a gothic lolita dress with a striking black and white colour scheme. The dress had Puffy, short sleeves adorned with white frills.
A fitted bodice with more white frill accents and a charming blue ribbon bow at the centre. A high, ruffled white collar with a black choker adorned with a blue gem pendant. The knee-length skirt is flared out, predominantly black, with white trim along the hemlines. She completes the look with black thigh-high stockings decorated with blue bows.
But what truly stole Myne's breath away for a moment was the girl's unnaturally colossal G-Cup size breasts, which no matter how you think couldn't grow this level without any kind of external interface. Also the suspicious-looking, strange pink tattoo, just below her both collarbones. It starts with a Vegvísir compass, its lines gracefully intertwining like ancient runes.
The central point anchors the design, radiating outward in eight distinct arms. Each arm represents a cardinal direction, guiding the bearer through life's tumultuous seas, and in the end, all the lines are connected together and create multiple lairs of heart shapes.
Seeing the girl, the only thought that came to Myne's mind was how to eat her. Although because of his recent deeds, he couldn't take any more girls under his wings otherwise he would surely overwhelm them, but it didn't mean he couldn't engage in a one-night stand.
Judging by the girl's appearance, Myne was sure she was either a maid or slave of someone; otherwise, no one in their right mind would wear such breathtaking clothes while going out, not to mention making a suspicious-looking weird tattoo on top of her breasts.
