I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 45. Calamity - Minos's Bar
No, that's not right either.

Could a cult really have the ability to destroy the "Boundless Realm"?

The mysterious man wearing the clown mask just now claimed to be from the Divine Calamity Society.

Xia Feng had naturally heard of the Divine Calamity Society, a very famous cult in the Gray Realm. All members of the organization were half-human, half-nightmare Calamities who believed in the "Great Calamity of the Bone Face".

With the help of the "Bone Face Catastrophe," the mental state of all the afflicted within the organization stabilized, and they evolved special abilities that did not belong to the Spirit Master system. For this reason, they called themselves New Humans.

Xia Feng didn't know if they were new or not, but he didn't believe that a cult could destroy the 'Boundless Realm', which even the Void Emperor had difficulty invading.

"To be honest, I don't think you could take over such a big place even if you invaded Area 51," Yu Lin said, shaking his head.

The clown chuckled: "Of course we can't eat it, but what does it matter? Those swine nobles in District 51 were willing to dig such a huge gap in the Boundless Realm just to get the Boundless Stone, so we should naturally make good use of it, shouldn't we?"

"?" Xia Feng was stunned by the clown's words. This was getting more and more outrageous.

The Boundless Realm is a vital safeguard for the safety of all people in District 51. How could someone within the Empire directly destroy the Boundless Realm for the sake of the Boundless Stone?
It should be understood that the structure of the Boundless Realm is extremely tight and orderly. To secretly remove a small piece of Boundless Stone from the inside without anyone noticing and without affecting the overall structure or being detected would require unimaginable manpower and resources.

In other words, the forces involved behind this are enormous, and the leader must be in a very high position to be able to do something so devastating that it could be done without anyone noticing.

Therefore, it's no wonder that the number of monsters in Blood Calamity Street has suddenly surged in recent years, and the rate of monster transformation is far higher than in other areas.

It's not some weird reason like 'anomaly in another dimension' or 'the arrival of the Calamity Tide' that the experts have mentioned. It's just that there's something wrong with the barrier around this place!

Xia Feng was cursing in his heart.

Given the anomaly in Blood Calamity Street, the Holy Ministry could easily have guessed the reason with a little investigation, yet it still didn't cause the slightest ripple.

This is terrifying to think about. How powerful is the force behind this? How ruthless is the mastermind? Xia Feng was completely stunned.

He felt he had discovered something truly extraordinary.

"Intruder?"

The clown answered the phone, paused, and looked around. "Can you locate the other party?"

Xia Feng frowned slightly and exchanged a glance with Mu Qingtong.

"Can't locate them? Then activate the Calamity Realm immediately, don't let them escape."

The clown's cold voice rang out, and Xia Feng's expression changed slightly. He instantly sensed a wave of evil energy rushing in from the north at great speed, so fast that the two of them couldn't escape at all.

"Go!" Without time to weigh the pros and cons, he shouted and used his Two-Tailed Beast and Sky Step to lift Mu Qingtong up and throw her away! Mu Qingtong understood the moment he spoke and used the Two-Tailed Beast and Sky Step in return. Her tailbone seemed to spew out golden nitrogen gas, turning into a stream of light that shot out of the mist and disappeared.

hum-

Slowing down slightly, Mu Qingtong looked back and saw a dark black barrier only half a meter away from her. The barrier seemed to have expanded to its limit and then retreated rapidly.

This is the domain of rules that the calamity beast has unleashed.

Mu Qingtong frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and dialed an unknown number.

Xia Feng felt a blur before his eyes and found himself in a...
bar?

Jazz music drifted gently through the air as the bartender skillfully and elegantly prepared mouthwatering cocktails.

The dim yellow light shone on the bar counter. In the quiet atmosphere, seven or eight pale-faced men and women sat around the bar counter, their eyes fixed on the liquid in the bartender's hand, their expressions filled with fear and despair.

Xia Feng's sudden appearance did not arouse their interest in the slightest. Instead, the handsome bartender suddenly stopped what he was doing and smiled slightly at him.
"Distinguished guest, welcome to Minos's Bar. You may call me Mino." Xia Feng had some knowledge about the Calamity Beasts. These beasts were very peculiar. Perhaps due to their own abilities, they not only did not lie, but they were also very rule-abiding.

Under the rules, if you win, you live; if you lose, you die.

"Tell me, what are the rules here?" Xia Feng asked, puzzled.

"Okay, esteemed guest, please listen to the rules—"

"I have one hundred cups of wine here, ten of which are poisoned wines imbued with potent evil energy. Please choose any person present as your challenger and take turns drinking from them until one of you loses your sanity or dies. The game ends then. The winner can leave the realm of calamity after finishing the remaining wine. If it is a tie, neither of you can leave the realm of calamity and must challenge each other again."

Evil? Poisoned wine?
You actually called delicious Eel wine poison?

That's so tasteless!
Xia Feng blinked, his heart immediately calming down. He had thought it would be some terrifying Calamity Realm rule, but it turned out to be just this.

While he was thinking, he noticed a price list posted on the wall:

[Standard Version: 10 out of 100, the winner drinks the remaining wine and can leave the realm of calamity.]
Upgraded version: Choose 20 out of 100, the winner drinks all the liquid, unlocks the Calamity Realm, and receives 0.5g of Limitless Stone.

Store Manager's Recommendation: Choose 30 out of 100, Victory Realm, and receive 1g of Limitless Stones.

Value Item: Choose 90 out of 100, and the winner will receive 2g of Boundless Stone and one of the Five Elements Stones.

Xia Feng stared calmly at the price list, but his heart was in turmoil. Wasn't this a free reward for him?
Is there such a good thing?

If I go out and come back in, and then come back out again, wouldn't I be able to farm rewards indefinitely?

"Bam—"

As Xia Feng was pondering, he suddenly sensed a presence behind him. He frowned and was about to turn around, but before he could react, he was kicked in the face and his body flew backward, crashing into the bar.

Frame clatter—

The chairs tumbled, and the wine glasses swayed.

A gaunt-faced man emerged from the shadows, his expression sinister: "You're all courting death, daring to follow me here?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the other person in the shadows, his tone hostile: "Clown! What do you mean by dragging me into this mess?!"

"One red card warning." The bartender held up a red card and said calmly, "Sir, be careful, two red cards mean instant expulsion."

"Ptooey—" Xia Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, clutched the back of his head, frowned, and stood up. It hurt so much!

"I reckon the second intruder escaped, so you were mistaken for the second intruder," the Joker said, shrugging helplessly.

"Damn it! Does that mean I have to participate in the game too? You guys—"

Bang!!! His words were cut short as a whirlwind kick, leaving afterimages and whistling through the air, struck his cheek. The force of the kick caused his face to tremble, his pupils to shrink, and he was sent flying, crashing into the wall.

pat-

Fall slowly.

The emaciated man covered his face and groaned in pain.

"One red card warning." The bartender held up another red card and said calmly to the man in the spade mask.
