The cave trolls were shocked that Wain could kill the cave werewolves. The leader of the Trolls decided to trust Wain, but the monster did not expect that he could handle a hundred First Chronicle monsters so easily.
Moreover, the leader of the cave werewolves was incredibly strong. This creature was capable of killing any First Chronicle monster below level twenty.
Whooooooooooosh.
More than a hundred white souls flew into Wain's body. He crushed it and saw a multitude of messages in front of him.

Wain used a large number of souls but only raised one level. However, Wain was happy with the result. He didn't spend much effort to kill werewolves. Those monsters were rather weak.
Of course, the situation was greatly affected because he used a second form, the Cursed Swordsman.
"Everything is ready. Now it's time to negotiate. Right?" Wain said with a smile.
The Troll leader nodded. They could not resist Wain's will, for this man was a hundred times stronger than they were.
Wain wanted to say something, but suddenly he heard shouts from the next room. Wain looked puzzled at the Troll leader. The monster nodded and headed towards the sounds along with the other Trolls.
...
"Holy shit..." Wain muttered as he stared at the strange and creepy scene.
There were many corpses of various monsters and humans in this cave. Like any other creatures, Trolls had to satisfy their hunger somehow, and for them, it was commonplace.
This cave was like the workplace of a mad butcher. There was blood and flesh and body parts everywhere. The trolls were pretty clever, but they had wild instincts like most monsters.
"Help!"
Suddenly there was a cry for help from one man. He was seriously wounded, and if Wain hadn't started the battle against the werewolves, this person would probably have been killed by now.
But, to his surprise, Wain didn't even pay attention to him. He was to him an empty space that was not worth the effort.
'The survivors have no auras at all. They probably haven't even activated their Soul Altars yet. They're useless.' Thought Wain and turned to the leader of the Trolls.
The monster was wary. The troll didn't know what Wain's reaction would be. Troll understood that Wain was human, so the monster was ready for anything.
"I don't care what you do here, so you can calm down. I have a few questions for you. Do you specialize in mining ores?" Wain asked.
Troll leader had expected any response, but not this one. It was, however, the best possible option for the monster.
Troll nodded. These monsters were used to dig caves and mining hundreds of energy crystals.
"Good, then get everyone else in here and have them bring their tools and all the mined crystals with them," Wain said calmly.
Troll Leader nodded and shouted something loudly several times. At that moment, the Trolls headed for the picks and carts of crystals.
The Ring of Damned glowed brightly, and a blue pack appeared in Wain's hands. He lit a cigarette and thought about the current situation.
'Hmm, originally I wanted to bring the Trolls to Gisle, but now I question the decision. They are strong and will be more trouble than good, given their bloodthirstiness. Maybe I should kill them?' Wain thought.
He didn't care what the Trolls did in their spare time, but he knew it wasn't normal. Given the situation, it was impossible for adequate cooperation between the Trolls and the humans.
Wain shook his head, 'No, that would be a mistake. Hmm, there are surely many more caves at the bottom of the canyons. I can get the Trolls to mine the ores there, but I don't have time to deal with finding caves and managing supplies.'
While the Trolls were busy getting ready, Wain tried to think of a plan of action. He walked from side to side with a pensive face.
Slowly Wain made his way halfway through the cave, people asking for his help, but he ignored them. Wain was annoyed, for not a single decent idea occurred to him.
Step.
He took a step forward, and suddenly his Seal of Darkness flashed.
Wain was surprised, but he quickly realized what had happened. There was a spatial rift within thirty meters of him.
Wain grinned. 'Then he found a solution to the problem.
'That's right, I own one Void now. Trolls are more dangerous creatures than Fire Goblins. I can't take them to Last Light. But I have another, a more suitable place for them.' Thought Wain.
Trolls could be compared to miners. These creatures were perfect for his Void. Ice Caves was a space composed entirely of ice and caves. But, Wain was sure that the caves occupied only a small fraction of the entire area.
In that case, the Trolls were the perfect option. They would dig new caves, increase the number of caves and energy crystals.
'Okay, it's settled. I hope I can move them into my Void.' Thought Wain.
After a while, all the Trolls gathered in the cave. There were over three hundred of them. Each of them had a pickaxe and other necessary tools. They brought more than ten carts and crystals.
Wain nodded and turned to the leader of the Trolls, "Start digging over there, straight ahead without turning around."
The spatial rift was outside the cave, deep in the wall. So the Trolls had to dig a cave to get there.
The Troll leader nodded and gave a command to his subordinates. In the same way, the monster ordered them not to touch any more people and to let them go. The troll did this to improve his relationship with Wain. The monster didn't know how effective it was, but it was better than nothing.
Wain looked at the fleeing people and sighed weakly. He realized that they had no chance of surviving. Wain didn't know how they got here, but they were out of luck.
Bam. Bam. Bam.
At the Leader's command, the other Trolls began digging the cave. There were many of them, so the process progressed rather quickly. It took them no more than one minute to dig through meters of rock.
Without special drilling equipment, this was impossible for humans, but the Trolls were strong and hardy. They could work for hours without rest.
After about half an hour, the trolls dug a cave thirty meters long. There were no energy crystals or ores of any kind inside, but there was a space gap at the end.
Wain didn't know if he could move the Trolls into his Void, but he was sure he could make it work. Wain was the area owner, and he had to have those rights.
Wain came to the end of the cave, and it turned to ink. Wain touched the ink, and it began to gradually grow larger. He wanted to enlarge the passage to enter all the Trolls.
"Come inside," Wain said calmly.
The trolls nodded and walked quickly through the ink. They took all the crystals and tools with them. Wain and the leader of the Trolls were the last to go inside.
When they were in the spatial rift, Wain saw the now familiar door with eyes and a wooden door leading to Sven's bar. He could go in there because he had an amulet, but the Trolls had no access to it. The door was covered with many chains that could not be broken for them.
Wain frowned. He saw no way into his Void. This was a bad development for him.
'Hmm, for alien beings to get into the Void without using a portal, they need a key. Shouldn't I be able to create a passageway of my own choosing?' Wain thought and closed his eyes.
He didn't understand why there wasn't a door leading to the Ice Caves in the spatial rift. He didn't know the reason, so he decided to try and fix it himself.
Whoooosh.
A minute later, the temperature dropped, and a massive, icy gateway began to appear among the ink.
The gate frame was made of white metal, and the two huge plates were covered with a thick layer of ice. The gateway looked like a passageway into the icy lands, where blizzards constantly raged, and it was cold.
'Huh, it turned out to be easier than I thought, I just had to want it, and the passage to the Ice Caves appeared.' Thought Wain and walked over to the gate.
Wain put his palms on the gate and gradually opened it. At this time, there was an eerie creaking and crackling sound.
"Fine, go inside," Wain said calmly, pointing to the gate.
However, the Trolls continued to stand still. Wain didn't understand what happened, but the Troll Leader shook his head.
'I see, they can't get through there, then I need to give them permission or a key. But, how do I do that?' Wain pondered.
Wain felt that solving this problem was very easy, but he didn't know how to do it because he was inexperienced in the matter.
Wain was trying to find a way out of this situation and remembered the system. He could see the current state of his Void at any time.

'This is general information. I need some functionality. I must somehow create keys or give the Trolls personal permission.' Wain thought.
Fortunately, after a while, he found what he needed.
[You, as the owner of Ice Caves, have the right to create an unlimited number of keys to freely enter and leave your area.
You can also give one-time permission for other creatures to enter, with no ability to freely leave the zone.]
Wain decided to choose the second option, and his Seal of Darkness glowed brightly.
