In the heart of the demonic capital, a bar stood out, it was the most luxurious bar where rich demons often went to enjoy delicious high-quality drinks. An atmosphere of luxury reigned inside: crystal glasses filled with elite wines and fine spirits, the evening was held to the sounds of jazz and noisy conversations of demons.
And in the corner of this magnificent bar, where the evening was held to the sounds of jazz and dancing, a mysterious demon in a black cloak with a hood hiding his face was sitting alone, pouring himself wine with an exquisite movement. In this interaction with alcohol, he was not drunk.
He didn't just drink wine - he enjoyed every sip as if he found joy in every drop. In the corner of the bar, where the mysterious demon was enjoying his wine. The new young waiter approached with awkward hesitation. His hands were shaking with fatigue and uncertainty, and this young waiter asked if he would like more wine.
The face of the mysterious demon remained in the darkness of the hood, as if his silence and thoughts were interrupted by some unexpected question from the waiter. The waiter was waiting for the answer of the mysterious demon from the dark hood.
Suddenly, the mysterious demon nodded his head strangely so that the waiter would pour him wine.
Seeing this, the waiter suddenly made an awkward misunderstanding. In his trembling hands, the glass shook, and the red wine spilled out, creating a large stain on the mysterious demon's cloak.
The demon's face remained in the shadow of the hood, but there was a heavy pause in the air. The waiter immediately apologized to the mysterious demon with a numb look for the failure. There was an involuntary fear in his apologies, as if he was afraid that his sin would be terribly punished.
At the moment when the mysterious demon in a black cloak and hood felt the stain of wine on his clothes, his eyes flashed coldly, the waiter, turning pale with fear, took a step back. A mysterious demon stood in front of the waiter, and the waiter, meeting his gaze, felt inside himself the fear that goes beyond the ordinary.
The mysterious demon stared at him silently, as if reading his every thought. His gaze was cold and merciless, as he slowly approached, his black cloak moved smoothly as if alive, and the hood hid his face, now a nightmare incarnate stood in front of him. The bar was filled with unbearable tension.
That mysterious demon suddenly and soundlessly drew a sword from under his cloak. The blade was like darkness ready to pierce the air, and the cold light of its tip flickered in the semi-darkness. It was as if the darkness itself had taken shape into a weapon. The waiter, frozen with fear, saw the sword slowly rise in front of him. The demon's face remained hooded, but the air was filled with incredible tension.
Silence enveloped the bar, The Demons previously absorbed in the fun froze. And suddenly the owner of the bar, as if breaking through the silence, ran out heading towards the hooded demon, trying to stop the rage of the mysterious demon with a sword. The bar owner came to save his waiter and possibly mitigate the punishment.
The bar owner, resigned to the demon's determination, came out in front of him and said respectfully!
— I'm sorry for what happened. This is an unfortunate incident and I would like to offer compensation for the spilled wine and possible inconvenience. Is there any way I can satisfy you so that we can resolve this misunderstanding?
Without saying a word, the demon turned resolutely and headed for the exit of the bar.
The owner of the bar, a little stunned, watched the demon walk away, feeling relieved that the threat had passed.
The mysterious Demon, already ready to leave the bar, was stopped by the words of one of the patrons of this bar.
— You're a coward!!
That mysterious demon, ignoring the ridicule of others, he decided to leave the bar after all. As the demon was about to leave, a mocking voice came from the shadows behind him again:
— Are you a guy who only knows how to bully weaklings?
— You see, I'm one of the elite soldiers of this kingdom, and you probably didn't know that you would meet such a strong opponent here!
The one who said that was sitting at the bar, pouring himself a whiskey.
With a sword in one hand and a glass of whiskey in the other, this soldier, proud of his rank as an elite soldier, finally stood up and drank a glass of whiskey to the bottom and put it on the table.
This Demon was wearing a black shirt and elegant black trousers, complemented by stylish shoes. He had black, short, straight hair, divided into two parts, several strands smoothly falling over his face. His appearance stood out in the crowd, giving the impression that he had come not just to drink, but to have a real party. Not tall and thin, he exuded a certain confidence.
As the soldier raised his sword, he felt the other demons begin to praise him admiringly for his bravery, seeing in him a symbol of strength and hope.
The soldier, smiling and holding a sword, mockingly inquired:
— did you swallow your tongue or what? You're not afraid of me, are you? It's funny how you almost killed a defenseless waiter over some little thing.
Suddenly, the mysterious demon turned around and took a couple of steps towards him, and the soldier holding the sword tensely tried to see the face of the mysterious demon, but the hood tightly covered his face.
Like a well-aimed sword light, the mysterious hooded demon instantly swung his sword, creating a well-aimed whistle in the air. The soldier's sword shattered like glass into two pieces, falling at his feet.
The soldier, involuntarily lowering his hands, was surprised to meet the fragments of his broken sword, not understanding how it happened.
Standing in front of the fragments of his sword, the soldier, full of bewilderment, asked the mysterious demon:
— How.... How did you break my sword so quickly? I, I didn't even have time to see how it happened!...
There was not only uncertainty in his voice, but also a thirst for understanding. "even experienced swordsmen or other elite soldiers like me would hardly be able to break my sword so quickly and accurately. Why did this strong demon choose to stay in the hood?" There was surprise and bewilderment in his thoughts.
In the bar, all the demons had their eyes fixed on the mysterious demon and were quietly whispering among themselves, "who is this mysterious demon, and how could he surpass the strength of such an experienced elite soldier?"
At the moment when everyone's eyes were riveted on the mysterious demon and the confused soldier. The door of the bar suddenly opened, making a muffled but noticeable creak. An elite group of kingdom soldiers burst into the bar, taking a careful look around the room as if they were looking for someone in particular. Their attention darted between the visitors.
Interest flared up inside the bar, and everyone began to ask themselves the question "who or what are these elite soldiers of the kingdom looking for at such an unusual hour?"
Among the motionless group of soldiers, one figure stood out, walking slowly and carefully examining the bar. And so, once in the center of attention, it turned out that this figure was Lieutenant Nao, one of the strongest among the lieutenants, distinguished by her tall stature and slender posture.
The black military uniform fit slimly around his lean body, giving him an authoritative look. Her long black hair fell over her shoulders. His face was extremely serious, as if all unnecessary emotions had been forced out of him. As if He had walked through the whole kingdom, He looked at His surroundings, as if He was looking for someone among the many faces in the bar.
The arrival of Lieutenant Nao, accompanied by his elite assistants, attracted the attention of everyone in the bar. And everyone in the bar instantly realized that the presence of these military men was beyond the ordinary, and the customers began to whisper, suggesting that something serious must have happened, since the lieutenant of the kingdom and his elite soldiers were here.
Suddenly, everyone around turned their eyes to the mysterious demon standing next to the bar, as if he was hiding in the shadows. assuming that it was because of him that the elite soldiers came here.
His appearance with a sword brandished in front of the peaceful inhabitants of the kingdom raised suspicions that the mysterious demon had become the provocateur of this unexpected visit of the lieutenant.
The lieutenant suddenly looked closely at the hooded demon standing at the bar, whose face remained hidden in the shadows. And at that moment, that soldier with the broken sword abruptly put his hand to his head, showing respect in front of the lieutenant. He quickly handed over the honor, taking advantage of the fact that the situation had become serious, the soldier left hurriedly leaving the scene,
The lieutenant seemed to realize that he had found exactly who he was looking for, and involuntarily smiled and quickly headed towards the mysterious hooded demon, the Lieutenant quickly and decisively and immediately those soldiers, following the example of their Lieutenant, began to salute the hooded demon.
The instant submission of the lieutenant and his elite squad caused surprise in the bar. The general who met the hooded demon smiled expressing relief and said:
— In the end, I found you, Sir!! It was hard to trace your trail!
"And have you been sitting here in the bar all this time?"
All the waiters present, still holding trays of drinks, and the customers, freezing in their seats, froze, realizing the sudden personality in front of them. There were only whispers and expressions of surprise in the bar.
The hooded demon broke the silence for the first time because of the Lieutenant, uttering words that rang through the silence of the bar. Although his identity has already been revealed.
— I just came in to relax a little. Is it really impossible?
The voice was pleasant and comfortable, like a young guy's.
The lieutenant replied with a slight smile:
— of course you can!! But you could have warned me in advance that you were going there!
The demon captain hiding his face in a hood silently nodded in response, making it clear that he understood his lieutenant.
