Chapter 318 Finally An Adventurer

Vino Velora's brows furrowed as she thought about the concept of an envoy. "What in the cosmos is an envoy?" she muttered, her voice tinged with frustration. "It doesn't matter," she continued, shaking her head dismissively. "Show me where this 'Akun' is using the god skill, World View."

In that instant, the system window displayed a scene: a man with silver hair standing confidently in front of the receptionist at an adventurer building, with a group of people gathered behind him. The system highlighted the man's figure, indicating that he was Akun.

Vino Velora gritted her teeth as she observed the scene unfolding before her. "That's him?" she muttered through clenched teeth, her frustration palpable in the air. The realization hit her like a cosmic storm—this man, Akun, was the one responsible for shattering her barrier.

But then again, with her dragon goddess eyes, she could see that his soul looked somewhat familiar. "Wait, isn't that Akun, that kid th..." Before she could finish her statement, Akun turned his gaze skyward to the left, almost as if he could feel Vino Velora's gaze on him. His purple eyes shone brightly, and there was a dead serious look on his face.

In that moment, as Vino Velora's gaze met his, she felt a chill run down her spine. She suddenly froze, unable to continue her sentence.

Inwardly, she mused, "W-what is this feeling? I'm finding it hard to breathe... And my heart is beating rapidly. My legs are shaking... I feel as though, if I were to move an inch, then....."

Akun then smiled slightly. He redirected his gaze to the receptionist, shrugging casually as if he had called him previously and received no answer. As Akun did so, Vino Velora felt her legs give out, and she fell to the floor.

Her eyes widened as her pupils shook. She then mumbled with a trembling voice, "W-was that fear?" She suddenly gritted her teeth, her anger mounting as she added, "Who does he think he is, a mere child that knows nothing of the world?

I don't know how he managed to gain human form when I purposely tossed his soul into the edges of Arcadia, but if he thinks just because he now has a little power he can do whatever he wants..."

Suddenly, the murmurs of the other adventurers swirled around. The hushed whispers reached his ears, carrying with them various ideas about his identity and status.

"Who do you think he is?"

"He must be some young master from a noble house. Look at all those women surrounding him like guards."

"Ah, must be living like a king with all those beauties at his side every night."

"And yet, he probably hides behind them on the battlefield."

In the midst of the conversation, Chrono Nexus chuckled softly. She stood nearby, watching Akun and the others, her eyes filled with amusement.

Akun's eyes narrowed slightly as he sensed the atmosphere shift around him. With a commanding presence, he stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the group of adventurers who had been whispering about him.

"Listen up," he began, his voice firm and commanding, cutting through the murmurs like a blade. "I don't appreciate baseless assumptions tarnishing my reputation. You don't know me, and you certainly don't know what I'm capable of."

His words carried weight, and the adventurers trembled slightly under his gaze, realizing the gravity of the situation. They exchanged nervous glances, realizing they had overstepped their bounds.

"I have a very good memory," Akun continued, his tone measured but authoritative. "I don't forget faces. So, consider this a warning. Make sure your words are as wise as your actions, or I won't hesitate to hunt you down." His purple eyes shon slightly towards the end.

The adventurers swallowed hard, their expressions shifting from bravado to unease. "S-sorry," one of them stammered, speaking on behalf of the group. "We didn't mean any harm. We'll watch our words from now on."

Akun nodded, his expression softening slightly. "See that you do," he replied, his voice carrying a hint of warning. With that, he turned away, leaving the group of adventurers to think about the consequences of their careless words.
