Chapter 190 - The Empress, the Rogue and the Barrier
The moonlight tinted the clouds over the Demonic Continent silver, but the city of Bazu still teemed with energy.
Amid the dark stone streets and twisted buildings, a tavern stood out with its vibrant light and infernally loud music.
Shouts, laughter, and the clash of mugs formed a chaotic symphony of celebration. Inside, creatures of the most varied races and shapes reveled without a care.
The strong smell of fermented drink would make an ordinary human pass out.
Among the noisy crowd, a child with vibrant purple hair and mismatched eyes drank merrily, sunk into a small barrel of beer.
Her childlike appearance didn’t seem to fit that environment, but no one seemed to mind.
Beside her, a demonic adventurer with a goat-like face, curved horns, and a sheepish grin spoke loudly, his voice lost in the tavern’s din.
"I’m telling the truth, little girl!" he exclaimed, banging his wooden tankard on the table. "Milis is fighting against the Great Forest to exterminate everyone! Even my cousin joined the war to pay off a debt!"
The girl blinked, confused.
"But... why are there demons fighting too?"
The goat-man laughed heartily, leaning over the table.
