Chapter 460. A Lover's Wrath
"Can you tell me more about this six-mooned world you mentioned? What kind of place was it? How did you get there? And where did you acquire the coordinates for this world?"
"The six-mooned world was truly special. If I recall correctly, its name sounded something like "The Wizarding World." Giant trees were reaching nearly 100 meters tall and birds the size of dragons. The gravity was so powerful that even with all my skills, I could barely stand for 30 seconds at most before being forced to lie on the ground.
However, I believe the dominant race there was also hume, with the largest population like ours."
"Oh, and there were six moons in the sky, each with unique characteristics. The first was entirely made of ice, the second of lava. The third resembled a barren wasteland, and the fourth was filled with white fog.
The fifth was the largest, resembling a crystal ball with countless stars, and the sixth, the most beautiful, had its surface obscured by cloud-like formations and large rivers that moved across it like snakes, confirming the green surface was covered in trees. That one was my favourite."
"Though I have no idea what you mean by 'coordinates,' I travelled there through a portal. Well, let me tell you the whole story from the beginning. Only then will you understand everything."
Myne took a deep breath and began his tale. He explained how to find his missing friend, he sneaked into a large house, discovered a hidden basement that resembled a living hell, and accidentally opened a portal, entering it before returning and fighting seven weirdoes beings who seemed native to the Wizarding World. Finally, he relayed the information he learned from the fatty. Enjoy new tales from empire
After hearing him speak, the silver-haired lady fell into deep thought. Fenrir, meanwhile, approached Myne with a seemingly friendly expression. Just when Myne thought Fenrir would offer words of sympathy considering he had lost a friend and was about to lose his wife as well, he saw her raise her front paw.
With a speed he couldn't perceive, she slapped him hard on the left cheek, sending him flying a few dozen meters before he tumbled to the ground. Since the ground was covered with soft grass, he didn't suffer serious injuries from the fall at least from outside, but his left cheek was undoubtedly red as a tomato.
While coughing up blood, Myne suddenly felt like someone had placed a small mountain on his body. He lay flat on the ground with an intense weight pressing down on him. This wasn't new; Fenrir had used her gravity control on him many times during training. He slowly lifted his head and looked up to see Fenrir already glaring at him with a murderous look.
She dug her nails into his shirt like hooks and lifted him face-to-face with her.
"I think you promised never to do anything a normal person wouldn't. So now, Mr. Savior of Friends, tell me, have you seen any normal person around who would poke their head into an unknown portal they've never heard of, fight with people they have no idea about, and finally blurt everything out to someone he knows will be angry upon finding out?"
"Fenrir, dear, I surely remember that I have never promised anything like that to you..."
CREAK!
Myne hadn't even finished speaking when he felt something hit him hard on his right side. A loud bone-breaking sound echoed as he vanished in front of her, turning into an afterimage, before cursing vehemently at the ground a kilometre away. This time, Fenrir hadn't held back at all.
Her entire body crackled with dense purple lightning. All the fur on her body stood on end, making her appear incredibly dangerous. She opened her mouth, and energy began to gather before it, forming a ball-shaped projectile. When it reached the size of a football, she lifted her head towards the white sky and with a loud boom, the energy ball shot from her mouth like a rocket.
No one knew what trick Fenrir used to lock onto a target a kilometre away, but as Myne coughed blood on the ground, cursing Fenrir to his death, he suddenly felt a deadly threat approaching from the sky. He looked up and saw a purple ball of lightning hurtling towards him at an astonishing speed. Without thinking, he quickly used the Unbeatable skill.
Boom!
Just as the Unbeatable skill activated, the energy ball slammed into Myne's face, creating a fifty-meter-wide mushroom cloud at his location.
Fenrir seemed to know about Myne's little tricks and had no intention of letting him breathe. Like a Gatling gun, one after another energy balls rapidly fired from her mouth, each taking only five seconds to form and release. This process continued for a full minute before she slammed her paw on the ground.
With a whoosh, Myne, miraculously unscathed, only his poor clothes were destroyed emerged from the dust cloud and landed at her feet.
"It's not finished," She declared coldly. "We'll continue this discussion after returning home." After finishing her sentence, she snorted and walked back to her mother, who was enjoying the show with great interest.
"As you wish, wise madam," Myne quickly replied with a pained expression. But as soon as Fenrir turned around, he sighed in relief and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Phew, saved. Three more seconds and I might have actually died. Next time, I'm never telling Fenrir anything about those things either. After Big Sis Aisha and Sylphy, now it's Fenrir's turn to go on the 'Absolute Troublesome Characters' list, Myne thought while shaking his head.
"Well, your way of showing love and affection is a bit...um, unique," The silver-haired lady said with a concerned look. "I've never seen someone beat their lover like this, even ex-lovers wouldn't treat each other this way. Are you sure you like him, and don't have some life-and-death hatred?"
"Hmph, this bastard deserves more than this beating," Fenrir growled. "Last time he made such a big mess, he almost killed himself. But now, it hadn't even been a whole week, and he's playing with dimensional portals like they're some kind of toy! What if he went inside and the portal closed? This idiot couldn't even stand properly there.
What could he do except wait for someone to find him and kill him, or torture him to death until they dug out all the information they wanted?"
"He needs this kind of beating so he remembers not to do something like this next time, or at least think carefully about it. Otherwise, I'm afraid if there's no fear, the day he loses his life ignorantly isn't far off. When I last talked to his elder sister, she told me he promised never to do something dangerous completely out of his capability again.
But here we are, discussing his grand, stupidest achievements. Damn it, I should have given him a few more paw swats."
Under the influence of anger and worry, Fenrir completely forgot about being shy and reserved in front of her mother. She spoke like she was talking to a friend, even daring to curse Myne. Even when her mother offered her a bucket of special energy drink with a big metal straw, she didn't say thanks and simply gulped down the entire drink.
Sigh, this is going to be troublesome. It seems like my idea of marriage will have to be postponed for some time. Today's young people have no confidence in their partners at all, The silver-haired lady thought while rubbing her forehead. However, when her eyes fell on Myne, who had a smile on his face as if it was someone else who got beaten, she took back her words.
Instead, she decided to teach Fenrir a few things to discipline her walking-time-bomb lover. Otherwise, her daughter might not be able to enjoy her married life for too long.
"Myne," The silver-haired lady said with a soft smile, noting that both he and Fenrir had fallen silent and that there wouldn't be any more drama for now. "You said the gravity of that world was so strong that you could hardly lift your head, right? Then how did you explore the village?"
"Oh, that's because of my skill," Myne answered casually, taking a swig from a leather water bottle he retrieved from his inventory.
"If I hadn't used the skill that can turn me into a ghost-like astral form, then I might not have been able to walk two steps beyond the portal, let alone leisurely wander around the village and enjoy the view. But even with it, it was still three times harder for me to move around than normal."
"Huh?" the silver-haired lady exclaimed. "There's such a skill among humes? Even with the mana reserves you have right now, using such a powerful skill shouldn't last for more than five minutes, let alone an hour!"
However, Myne's casual answer left the silver-haired woman with a head full of question marks. According to her knowledge, no hume had ever possessed this kind of abnormal skill. It seemed to break the most basic rules of equal exchange.
After a moment's hesitation, The silver-haired lady gave a soft snap, audible only to her. Instantly, all data about Myne, from birth to present, along with all his skills, appeared in front of her in an invisible, transparent digital window that only she could see
