Chapter 105


    "I see you boys have had a little bit too much to drink?" Asked Dina as she walked down the stairs and onto the first floor.


    She was wearing a simple dress that looked more of a nightgown than anything else as she stepped towards their table and sat down. Omis''s drunken gaze lingered over her body for a couple of seconds before he turned back to his cup.


    "Oh? Like what you see?" She asked with a seductive grin as she grabbed the loosely hanging strip on her shoulder and teasingly lowered it a little.


    Seeing that Omis simply chuckled and shook his head, a response which left Dina nkly staring back at him before asking.


    "By the heavens, are you also gay?" She said with a disappointed expression on her face.


    "Gods no, I just don''t go for uh..." Omis paused trying to think of a good way to answer.


    "Ah, not a fan of small bodies, I see. Such a shame." She replied with an understanding nod yet one could easily spot a faint trace of disappointment on her face.


    "Ss, be a dear and pass a bottle of that wine of yours would you." Said Dina as she turned to Ss who simply nodded before bringing out another jar and cing it in front of her.


    And so the trio drank the night away, each with thoughts that upied their own minds yet it seemed that thepany with each other helped alleviate some of their worries. Soon the first rays of sunlight shined through the windows indicating the start of a new day.


    The entrance door that was closed was abruptly flung open causing the sunlight to obstruct Omis''s vision to see who it was. The stranger walked inside with unsteady steps as he wobbled his way to their table.


    Dina did not seem to care about the new person yet her face had a slightly irritated look. As the person stopped in front of him, Omis was finally able to have a good look at who it was.


    The middle-aged man had a bamboo hat on his head, an empty wine jar, and a short sword were tied to his waist. He was dressed in some sort of red jacket, ck trousers, and light sandals. The stranger then removed his hat showing his messy white hair, a drunken look was on his face as he looked at the wine on the table.


    "Uh, here?" Confused Omis hesitantly passed him the wine jar.


    The man''s eyes seemed to lit up for a moment as he hurriedly snatched it away from him as if afraid he would change his mind. He then leaned back and took long gulps beforepletely emptying the jar.


    "Ah, I needed that. Thank you." The man said before turning his gaze to Dina.


    The drunkness in his eyes seemed to quickly disappear as a goofy grin made its way to his face.


    "Dina~! My love, I missed you! How could you not tell me you were drinking, you know you should have invited me!"


    Hearing that, Dina''s face changed into a cold smile as she stared back at the man before speaking.


    "I see thatst time was not enough of a lesson for you to understand dear?"


    To that, the man visibly shuddered as he backed away a few steps, and unconsciously moved his hands to cover his crotch area.


    "Oh, still so mean! When are you ever going to warm up to me and ept my love, Dina!" He replied with a sad expression on his face yet did not make any more attempts toe closer.


    "Oh, spare me your pervert antics Mace, why did youe here? I thought you were still back in the ''Underworld''." She asked with a puzzled look on her face.


    Raising his hands in defeat, the man named Mace answered with a sigh.


    "Like I want to be back to this boring ce. I was happy just drinking back at Ron''s yet that damned old man just had to send me here."


    "You know Ron?" Asked Omis as he heard the familiar namee up.


    "Oh, ya! Thanks for the wine bud, I really needed that." Replied Mace with augh and thumbs up.


    "Your wee?"


    "And to answer your question, of course, I do. His tavern is the only interesting ce with decent alcohol in that damned realm. Though wait, who are you? You do seem a bit familiar." He asked with a frown.


    "I''m Omis, a pleasure to meet you."


    "OH! The famed Immortal mentor!"


    "You know me?"


    "How could I not with all your statues spread across the mortal realm. I did hear about you again from the old man, said something about how you helped against the hunters. Must mean you are quite strong eh?"


    "The old man?" Asked Omis.


    "Tizzy." Said Ss who finally spoke up.


    "Oh, fancy meeting ya here. Howe you crawled out of your little cave?" Asked Mace with a heartyugh, yet Ss did not seem to pay him any heed and simply remained quiet.


    "Tizzy sent you here?" Interuppted Dina.


    "Ah? Yeah, something about how the ''hunters'' have been on the move again." He replied absentmindedly.


    "Hmm, isn''t that the norm?" Asked Dina while touching her chin in deep thought.


    "That''s exactly what I said! Why should we care if the crazy bastards want to move against the ''hive'' again? Yet he insisted that something was strange, so with that, I''m stuck with the investigation." He replied with a sigh.


    "So, why are you here then?" Coldly asked Dina.


    "Oh c''mon! I just missed you, plus it''s on the way, can''t I see the love of my life?"


    Hearing that, Dina''s eyes squinted as she looked at him with a disgusted expression.


    "You really didn''t learn anything sincest time." She said with an icy cold smile.


    "Heh..J-Joking! I was simply joking, no need to get so worked up, right?" Said Mace as he backed away even further with a scared expression.


    Dina did not pay him any heed as she stood up and made her way to the second floor.


    "Dear, you might want to check on your disciple she should be waking up soon," she said as she turned towards Omis while shing him a bright smile.


    Seeing that, Mace''s expression changed as he turned to look at Omis with a worshiping gaze, he abruptly disappeared from his ce and reappeared holding his hands.


    "Sir! No! Master! Teach me your ways!"


    "Hah?" Muttered Omis confused.
