Dungeon Hunter – Chapter 64-69: Demon World Auction

Bab 64-69: Lelang Dunia Setan

Lelang Dunia Iblis adalah sebuah peluang.

Jika seseorang memiliki mata yang tajam dan keberuntungan maka mereka bisa mendapatkan sesuatu yang bagus untuk poin yang lebih sedikit. Adalah mungkin untuk tetap selangkah lebih maju dari iblis lain. Itu akan menjadi kunci penting dalam memenangkan perang nanti.

Dan pamer.

Dunia Roh melarang pertempuran. Tetapi ‘pamer’ dimungkinkan. Makhluk yang menyertai iblis adalah ukuran kekuatan mereka.

Ini adalah ukuran yang tidak pernah bisa diabaikan. Setan dan kemampuan mereka. Ini adalah elemen penting yang secara tidak langsung akan mempengaruhi iblis. Ini bisa digunakan sebagai kartu perang psikologis melawan lawan.

Berjuang bukanlah satu-satunya medan perang yang sengit.

Saya ingin membuat lawan bergerak. Untuk menipu mereka. Jika saya harus menggunakan analogi, itu seperti negara-negara yang memperebutkan wilayah.

Bagi saya, saya memiliki dua makhluk kelas atas.

Griffin dan Gigantes!

Saya memutuskan bahwa Gigantes akan menemani saya. Griffin sudah memulai debutnya di dunia tetapi Gigantes belum dirilis. Membawa Gigantes akan lebih menakutkan daripada membawa griffin. Saya bisa memohon iblis dengan benar.

"Aku memilih pria itu."

Saya juga bisa menyembunyikannya. Tapi tidak ada gunanya bersembunyi.

Saya memiliki sekitar 7 juta poin. Tidak ada yang akan memiliki jumlah poin yang lebih besar. Mereka akan digunakan dalam Lelang Dunia Iblis.

Lalu bukankah setan akan bertanya-tanya mengapa saya membawa makhluk normal? Psikologi setan itu sederhana. Yang kuat memonopoli segalanya. Yang lemah akan dijarah.

Tentu saja mereka akan menganggapku sebagai mangsa. Saya adalah setan netral dan hanya seorang earl. Saya perlu memamerkan bentuk yang bagus setelah muncul. Adipati Agung akan bekerja untuk mencoba dan menemukan saya.

Jadi saya berbicara kepada mereka dengan membawa Gigantes.

'Datang kepadaku? Saya akan dengan mudah merawat Anda. "

Ide membiarkan mereka mencari tahu!

Selain itu … tujuannya adalah untuk membangkitkan kesadaran setan.

Setan netral yang merupakan pedang yang kuat.

Jika saya memiliki kekayaan berlimpah dan makhluk kelas tinggi maka 4 faksi akan jatuh ke dalam kekacauan. Saya bisa memiringkan keseimbangan timbangan demi kebaikan saya.

"Itu ada di pikiran."

Aku mengangkat bahu.

Dll. Saya meletakkan dasar dari perang psikologis yang kompleks. Saya merasa sedikit sombong.

Itu tidak ditampilkan dengan benar di Lelang 1 Dunia Iblis. Saya tidak bisa mendorong keberadaan 'Randalph Brigsiel' ke Grand Dukes.

Tapi tahun ini itu akan terjadi …

"Waktu yang menyenangkan."

Ruangan itu bergetar.

Segera saya menghilang dari ruang bawah tanah bersama Gigantes.

Saya membuka mata saya.

Kamar yang luas.

Roh gelap dalam bentuk gnome berdiri di depanku.

“Kihihi! Randalph Brigsiel-nim. Sudah lama. "

"Senang bertemu Anda."

Reuni yang terjadi setelah tepat 1 tahun.

Roh gelap memalingkan kepalanya dan melihat kehadiran di belakangku.

“Ngomong-ngomong … makhluk di belakangmu itu? Saya merasakan kehadiran yang luar biasa. Hampir seperti mahir atau lebih tinggi … "

Ada banyak jenis makhluk. Roh-roh gelap tidak dapat mengidentifikasi mereka semua.

Raksasa setinggi 4 meter mengenakan baju besi hitam. Tapi kekuatan sihirnya luar biasa untuk raksasa sederhana.

Saya menjawab dengan ringan.

"Pikiranmu benar."

Mata roh gelap mulai bersinar.

“Makhluk kelas atas! Sungguh menakjubkan. Biarpun kamu adalah Dungeon Master, kami telah mencari makhluk kelas tinggi selama 5 tahun tapi … ”

Saya memotong kata-katanya.

"Apakah tidak ada makhluk kelas tinggi dalam pelelangan?"

Dubolong memberi saya daftar item lelang tetapi ada makhluk di sana yang saya tidak tahu. Saya memiliki beberapa harapan dari roh-roh hitam.

“Makhluk kelas tinggi dapat dengan mudah dijual dengan harga terbaik. Untuk mendapatkannya akan membutuhkan pengorbanan pribadi yang luar biasa … jumlah poin yang dimiliki setan saat ini tidak dapat ditandingi dengan pengorbanan tersebut. Poin rata-rata membutuhkan setidaknya 100 setan untuk membelinya. "

Itu berarti mereka telah menangkap beberapa tetapi tidak akan menjualnya sekarang.

Itu sangat masuk akal. Hanya 2 tahun. Banyak setan tidak punya banyak poin.

"Apa poin rata-rata setan yang berpartisipasi dalam pelelangan?"

Roh-roh gelap bisa mengetahui jumlah rata-rata poin yang dimiliki setan. Mereka tidak tahu jumlah poin masing-masing.

“440.000 poin. Kihihi. Itu lebih baik dari tahun lalu. "

Aku menyentuh rahangku.

440.000.

Kurang dari yang diharapkan.

Setan telah menaikkan rata-rata 100.000 dari 350.000 poin. Itu lebih dari tahun lalu, tetapi itu saja. Rasanya singkat dibandingkan dengan cadangan saya.

‘Ada banyak kegunaan untuk poin. Keterampilan pengamatan membutuhkan banyak poin untuk dipelajari. '

Saya berada pada level yang tidak bisa mereka mengerti.

Jika saya belum menyelesaikan semua pencapaian maka poin saya akan jauh lebih rendah. Itu 2 ~ 3 kali lebih banyak dari jumlah tahun lalu sehingga tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan. Namun, mendapatkan pencapaian itu menyebabkan poin saya melambung 4,5 kali.

"Randalph-nim. Jika Anda tidak keberatan, bagaimana Anda menangkap makhluk kelas atas? Tentu saja, kami akan membayar harga yang sesuai. Jika Anda memberikan pengetahuan Anda maka saya dapat berbicara dengan Raja Roh Kegelapan dan mengatur kesepakatan yang tepat. "

Roh-roh gelap memberi tahu saya dengan cemas.

Mereka mendambakan pengetahuan tentang cara menangkap makhluk kelas tinggi. Tetapi metode mendapatkan griffin dan Gigantes adalah rahasia.

Mereka tidak akan percaya kata-kata saya bahkan jika saya mengatakannya.

Ada juga kemungkinan rendah untuk bertemu Raja Roh Kegelapan secara langsung. Saya bahkan tidak bisa mengatakannya kepada Yihi.

"Maafkan kelakuan burukku."

“… Kihihi. Saya mengerti. Ikuti aku. Saya akan dengan senang hati membimbing Anda. "

Itu menyerah dengan cepat. Itu agak kecewa tapi itu wajar mengingat hubunganku dengan roh-roh hitam. Kami harus bersikap baik satu sama lain.

Roh-roh gelap berbalik dan mulai membimbing saya.

Gigantes diam-diam mengikuti di belakangku.

Banyak roh gelap yang saya lewati menatap Gigantes dengan terkejut. Roh-roh itu sangat sensitif terhadap kekuatan sihir dan bisa merasakan sesuatu yang 'kuat' dari aroma Gigantes.

Pada saat yang sama, roh-roh hitam mengkonfirmasi iblis yang bersama makhluk kelas atas. Mereka menatapku dengan kagum. Setan yang menggunakan poin terbanyak di tahun pertama. Bagi para roh, saya adalah 'pemboros besar.'

"Kihihi. Anda populer, Tamu-nim. "

"Ada banyak roh gelap."

“Tahun lalu adalah lelang pertama. Mereka sudah terbiasa dengan hal itu sehingga lebih banyak dari mereka yang datang berkunjung. Kihihi, apakah kamu menyukai penampilan roh? Yang kelas rendah digunakan sebagai pekerja tetapi mereka yang dibayar sedikit poin akan membuat Anda senang. "

Roh-roh gelap dapat mengubah penampilan mereka menjadi spesies yang rusak. Karena itu roh-roh di sekitarnya memiliki berbagai jenis wajah dan tubuh.

Dan arwah bukan satu-satunya di Dunia Roh. Peri dan spesies lainnya. Tempat ini bisa membawa seseorang ke puncak kesenangan.

"Tidak perlu."

Tetapi saya tidak punya waktu untuk membuang libido saya.

Sambil berjalan di sepanjang koridor kastil, suara-suara yang akrab bisa terdengar.

“Roh gelap berani meniru succubus? Sungguh kurang ajar. Bukankah payudara ini palsu? "

"Ahh!"

Saya mengerutkan kening.

Suara Groggy dapat didengar bersama dengan suara wanita. Dia adalah iblis yang mengisi dungeonnya dengan succubi.

Roh gelap yang membimbing saya tertawa licik.

"Kihihi. Anda benar-benar tidak membutuhkannya? Itu hanya membutuhkan sejumlah kecil poin. ”

Saya mengabaikannya dan berjalan maju. Segera saya menemukan Groggy di seberang lorong. Groggy memegang roh gelap dalam bentuk succubus.

Tetapi tindakan itu tidak berlangsung lama. Groggy menyadari ada seseorang di belakangnya dan berbalik. Senyum Groggys terhapus dalam sekejap saat dia melihatku.

"Pejuang Gelap."

Berdiri di sebelah Groggy adalah seorang pejuang gelap. Mahluk 2Lv tingkat lanjut. Harganya 110.000 pt untuk membeli dan makhluk yang layak.

Tapi ini adalah Lelang Dunia Iblis. Hanya satu makhluk yang bisa menemani iblis. Dia tidak layak khawatir jika prajurit kegelapan adalah hal terbaik yang bisa dia bawa.

‘Fakta bahwa Groggy mendapatkan prajurit kegelapan itu sendiri sangat menakjubkan. Ada rumor bahwa dia hanya mengisi ruang bawah tanahnya dengan succubi. '

Saya tidak tertarik pada Groggy dalam kehidupan saya sebelumnya. Satu-satunya hal yang saya ingat adalah desas-desus bahwa dia tergila-gila pada succubi.

Geram grogi.

"Randalph Brigsiel …"

"Apakah iblis-iblis di faksi Grand Duke Upa dilarang berpartisipasi dalam pelelangan?"

Saya berbicara seperti itu bukan masalah besar.

"Itu bukan urusanmu."

"Sepertinya Pakan Griolli hilang."

Wajah Groggy menjadi memerah.

"Omong kosong!"

Prediksi saya sepertinya benar.

Grand Duke Upa. Dia adalah seseorang yang aku tidak bisa menurunkan kewaspadaanku. Jika perlu, dia perlu ditangani sebelum Grand Dukes lainnya. Dia adalah yang paling menjengkelkan di antara 4 Grand Dukes. Inilah alasan saya ingin menanganinya dulu.

"Aku akan tahu apakah itu omong kosong atau tidak di pelelangan."

"Kamu adalah kegagalan yang tidak memiliki faksi."

Groggy masih kesal tahun lalu.

Itu bisa dimengerti. Spesies iblis tidak suka menjadi lemah.

Saya tersenyum dan bertanya pada roh gelap.

"Apakah aku harus mendengarkan dengan tenang penghinaannya?"

"Kihihi. Setelah tahun lalu, kami telah menambahkan beberapa aturan. Berkelahi antara makhluk yang menemani Anda diperbolehkan … tentu saja, kedua belah pihak harus menyetujuinya. "

Memang.

Ini adalah aturan yang tepat ketika mempertimbangkan karakteristik setan.

Setan agresif dan tidak hanya duduk diam.

Namun, mereka bisa mentolerirnya jika itu adalah pertarungan antar makhluk.

Menetapkan aturan ini cukup cepat mengingat itu hanya tahun ke-2.

"Itu yang dia katakan."

Aku mengangkat bahu.

Kemudian Groggy melihat ke belakangku ke Gigantes.

“Grrr! Pertarungan. Harus menang! "

Gigantes sangat mengintimidasi. Dia memiliki pandangan primitif di matanya yang membuat Groggy terkejut. Bahkan saya tidak nyaman dalam konfrontasi dengan Gigantes. Groggy jelas tidak bisa menghadapinya.

Tetapi saya membuka Mind's Eye untuk membuat penilaian yang objektif.

Saya berkeliaran di seluruh dunia selama 15 hari dan meningkat dengan kekuatan dan kelincahan sebesar 1.

Kemampuan murni surut dan mengalir. Statistik saya terus naik.

Ini berbeda dengan Groggy.

Terus terang, perbedaan di antara mereka berdua bahkan tidak layak disebut.

Groggy ditemani oleh seorang prajurit gelap. Itu tidak pada tingkat untuk menghadapi Gigantes.

Kwaduk!

"Aku bisa berurusan denganmu kapan saja …"

"Aku bersedia menumpahkan darahmu ke tanah kapan saja, Groggy."

Saya memotong kata-kata Groggy. Saya kemudian berjalan menghampirinya, tidak meninggalkan ruang.

Groggy menggigil dengan penghinaan. Tapi dia tidak berani membuka mulut. Hasil pertarungan antara kedua makhluk itu sudah ditentukan sejak awal. Pejuang gelap itu tidak cocok. Lebih baik mengambil keputusan dengan tenang.

"Terus menggonggong. Saat ini kamu terlalu lemah. ”

Penghinaan apa yang lebih besar bagi iblis?

Gemetar Groggy semakin intensif.

Saya tertawa dan berkata.

"Mari kita pergi."

"Kihihi. Saya akan mengurusnya. Tamu-nim. "

* * *

Item dapat dipratinjau sebelum pelelangan.

Ada konter.

Dan tidak seperti tahun pertama, banyak setan berkumpul.

Alasannya sederhana. Membeli barang membutuhkan strategi. Diperlukan persiapan tentang cara menggunakan titik-titik untuk mencapai efisiensi maksimum.

Itu juga tempat untuk memeriksa keseimbangan faksi lain.

Jadi meja besar itu sangat sunyi. Ada banyak tekanan. Sebuah udara berat yang terasa seperti itu akan meledak saat seseorang membuka mulut mereka.

Ini karena kemampuan beberapa lawan. Bagian lain dari rencana itu adalah mencari tahu barang apa yang dicari lawan. Karena itu, penting bagi iblis untuk memiliki ‘umpan.’

Kung!

Langkah kaki Gigantes bergema di angkasa. Aroma kekuatan sihir makhluk kelas atas menyebar dalam sekejap. Setan-setan itu secara naluriah mengalihkan pandangan mereka ke arah saya.

"Sambutan yang antusias."

Saya melihat suasana masing-masing fraksi.

Grand Duke Ariel dan fraksinya tidak memusuhi saya. Mereka hanya tertarik?

Sebaliknya, Grand Duke Upa adalah musuh yang tidak bisa hidup di bawah langit yang sama dengan saya. Matanya menunjukkan keinginan yang sangat besar untuk membunuhku.

Grand Duke Okullos tidak tertarik. Satu-satunya iblis dengan pohon dunia di kehidupan saya sebelumnya. Dia memiliki sifat yang tidak biasa yang tidak akan memperhatikan apa pun kecuali itu membuatnya tertarik.

Pandemonium … skeptis. Pertama-tama, ia memiliki sifat pesimistis. Itu adalah reaksi alami. Setan lainnya menunjukkan sikap yang serupa.

"Kihihi. Saya akan menunggu di luar. Saya tidak bisa melangkah ke sini. "

Roh gelap mundur.

Roh-roh peka terhadap kekuatan sihir. Sulit untuk menstabilkan pikiran mereka di medan perang yang sunyi seperti ini.

‘Upa …’

Aku mendecakkan lidahku setelah roh gelap pergi.

Grand Duke Upa dan para iblisnya ada di konter.

Setelah mengorbankan Pakan Griolli, mereka menerima izin untuk memasuki Lelang Dunia Iblis lagi.

Sangat disayangkan.

Upa juga menatapku. Kemarahan hebat di matanya … jika ini bukan Dunia Roh maka itu akan menjadi pertarungan yang tak terhindarkan.

Pertanyaan 'kamu?' Bisa dilihat di matanya yang bercahaya.

Saya segera memperhatikan sesuatu.

‘Adol Luph tidak ada.’

Saya adalah biang keladinya.

Namun, Upa hanya tahu bahwa salah satu iblisnya telah mati. Dengan pengecualian Duke Pakan, semua fraksinya seharusnya diteleportasi. Tapi tidak ada Adol Luph. Ini hanya memiliki satu makna.

Adol Luph telah meninggal.

Seseorang menyerang fraksinya … dia hanya bisa berpikir seperti itu. Tentu saja, dia tidak bisa mengkonfirmasi pelakunya. Upa curiga terhadap semua iblis yang berkumpul di sini. Mungkin semua iblis telah menerima pertanyaan itu di matanya.

Aku menahan tawaku. Bahkan gerakan halus otot-ototku tertahan. Akan lebih baik jika kecurigaan itu bertahan lebih lama. Disonansi antara faksi-faksi telah dimulai dan itu akan menjadi keuntungan besar bagi saya.

"Mengapa saya tidak mendapat manfaat dari sesuatu seperti ini?"

Bagaimanapun, saya harus melihat jendela status iblis sebelum memeriksa produk. Saya segera melihat dengan Mind's Eye.

Nama: Upa Bullenon

Occupation Demon Grand Duke (Dungeon Master) Judul * Destroyer (Epic, Intelligence +4, Magic Power +7)

* Master of Gravity (Ex U, Magic Power +7)

Kekuatan 82 Kecerdasan 79 (+4)

Aku meremas tinjuku. Statistik dan keterampilan cukup signifikan. Tentu saja, saya masih sedikit di depan. Senyum terbentuk secara alami dan Upa mengerutkan kening ketika dia melihatnya.

"Aku tidak melewati jalan yang salah."

Saya memeriksa Grand Dukes lainnya. Jendela status mereka tidak jauh berbeda dari Upa. Statistik terkonvergensi antara 400 ~ 415 dan mereka memiliki dua keterampilan kelas epik.

Jika kita berakhir berkelahi. Saya mungkin sedikit di depan. Selain itu, Grand Dukes tidak memiliki dua makhluk kelas atas.

Sensasi menggetarkan memenuhi tubuh saya.

Secara keseluruhan, saya berada di depan Grand Dukes. Dan saya pasti akan memperlebar celah dalam Lelang Dunia Iblis ini.

Saya menuju ke konter dan dengan santai memeriksa barang-barang.

* * *

Aula tempat pelelangan diadakan memiliki suasana tradisional.

Itu adalah aula yang luas dengan tempat duduk di 4 sisi dan di lantai dasar. Seperti sebelumnya, saya adalah satu-satunya yang duduk di tribun di lantai dasar.

4 faksi lainnya naik ke tempat duduk samping. Tidak ada sikap sadar yang jelas terhadap saya.

"Mereka tidak tahu cadangan poin saya."

Sekitar 7 juta. Ini sama atau lebih tinggi dari total poin satu faksi. Dengan kata lain, saya sendiri sama dengan faksi.

Tetapi iblis-iblis lain dan bahkan roh-roh hitam tidak tahu berapa banyak poin yang saya miliki. Jika mereka tahu ini maka sikap mereka akan berbeda.

Tidak ada untungnya bagiku untuk mengumumkannya. Bagaimanapun, mereka secara alami akan mencari tahu saat pelelangan berlangsung.

Segera seorang lelaki dengan tata rias badut muncul dari belakang panggung.

"Terima kasih telah menunggu! Sama seperti tahun lalu, I Dubolong akan bertanggung jawab atas pelelangan hari ini. Silakan lihat. "

Wajah Dubolong berbeda dari tahun lalu. Roh kelas tinggi yang diam-diam membuat kesepakatan denganku. Dia mengirimiku daftar itu dan aku bisa membuat rencana yang rapi.

Dia memindai ruang lelang dan tersenyum.

“Ada dua kursi kosong. Salah satu dari Anda dilarang selama 3 tahun karena melanggar peraturan … dan setelah mengirim pesan beberapa kali, yang lain telah menyeberangi sungai untuk tidak pernah kembali. Simpati terdalam kami. "

Dikatakan dengan sedikit ejekan.

Setelah hening sejenak, dia mengangkat kepalanya dan tertawa ceria.

Upa kesal tapi Grand Dukes lainnya tidak keberatan.

Awalnya fraksi Upa tidak dapat berpartisipasi dalam pelelangan selama 3 tahun. Tetapi dia membuat beberapa konsesi dan menyalahkan Pakan Griolli. Berkat itu, pendapat Grand Duke Upa tentang arwah tidak terlalu bagus.

“Sekarang sekarang! Tahun ini kami telah mempersiapkan dengan lebih bersemangat dari tahun lalu. Semangat melewati banyak upaya selama tahun ini untuk mengembangkan daftar yang akan menyebabkan para tamu menangis. Tapi itu adalah cerita yang bisa saya bicarakan selama 24 jam. Saya tidak ingin menuangkan air dingin ke atmosfer yang panas ini. "

Dubolong mengangkat bahu dan melanjutkan.

“100 item lelang. Kami telah dengan hati-hati memilih item pertama yang akan ditampilkan. Tahun lalu, itu adalah Krasla yang memiliki darah naga iblis sejati Aojin. Ah, jadi saya harus bertanya. Pembeli Randalph Brigsiel-nim. Apakah Anda puas dengan pembelian Krasla? "

Dubolong membungkuk ke arahku.

Chrisley adalah harta yang sebenarnya tetapi Krasla tidak buruk. Dia memiliki potensi untuk naik pangkat kelas tinggi.

"Cemerlang."

Mustahil untuk tidak puas.

Senyum Dubolong melebar.

"Terima kasih atas pujiannya. Randalph Brigsiel-nim tampaknya ditemani oleh makhluk kelas atas yang bahkan lebih baik daripada Krasla. ”

Dia menatapku dengan licik.

Mengalihkan perhatian ke arahku. Pastikan untuk menunjukkan perhatian 'positif'.

Setan tersentak. Mereka tidak mengharapkan perbandingan langsung seperti itu.

Setan memiliki pertanyaan. Beberapa dari mereka menatap saya dengan khawatir.

Seperti yang diharapkan dari Dubolong. Dia memiliki temperamen scammer. Pedagang superior tidak akan membuat sifat scamming mereka jelas.

"Mari kita lupakan cerita panjangnya. Sekarang saya akan memperkenalkan Anda ke item lelang pertama. Roh-roh tersandung padanya di beberapa reruntuhan kuno … mungkin banyak dari Anda mungkin tidak terbiasa dengan itu. Kode Astral! "

Semangat lain mengeluarkan kotak, kotak hitam.

Kotak hitam panjang itu diisi dengan zat hitam. Panjangnya lebih dari 20 sentimeter. Itu tampak seperti tongkat biasa.

Banyak setan menatap mereka.

Semua orang tampaknya telah menguasai keterampilan Observasi (R) tetapi Mind's Eye lebih baik.

Keterampilan Pengamatan bisa mengetahui nama dan opsi kunci dari item. Tidak dapat menemukan deskripsi terperinci, opsi tersembunyi atau opsi tertutup.

‘Kode Astral. Item penguatan? ’

Saya telah melihatnya beberapa kali. Saya tidak bisa mengingatnya dengan baik. Saya menyalahkannya karena tidak pernah memiliki pengalaman membelinya. Saya membuka Mind's Eye.

-Nama- Kode Astral (U)

Deskripsi: Tambahkan satu opsi ke suatu item.

* Statistik + 1 ~ 2 atau karakteristik tertentu akan dipilih secara acak untuk meningkatkan item.

** Probabilitas kegagalan akan tergantung pada kekuatan sihir pengguna.

Sekarang saya ingat deskripsinya.

Tetapi bagian ** yang ditandai di bawah ini tidak dikenal. Opsi hanya terlihat dengan Mata Pikiran. Keterampilan pengamatan yang sederhana tidak akan menunjukkan bagian itu.

"Aku harus membelinya."

Dubolong mengirimiku daftar itu tetapi aku tidak bisa mengetahui opsi terperinci. Saya harus memeriksa barang secara langsung sebelum memutuskan untuk membelinya. Sudah pasti bahwa akan ada pengeluaran tak terduga.

'Memperkuat karakteristik unik' akan sangat berguna. Misalnya, itu bisa membuat pedang lebih tajam. Itu acak sehingga ada beberapa risiko.

Namun, statistik tambahan sudah cukup untuk membuatnya layak dibeli.

Seru Dubolong dramatis.

“Lelang akan dimulai pada 100.000 poin! Itu bisa memperkuat senjata Anda jadi saya jamin itu adalah barang terbaik yang tidak akan Anda sesali! Dan harap dicatat bahwa anak laki-laki dan perempuan di langit-langit akan menangis dan merasa dihina jika Anda tidak menghabiskan lebih banyak poin daripada tahun lalu. "

Harga telah meningkat dari tahun lalu.

Tetapi jika dibandingkan dengan tahun lalu, setan-setan itu juga memiliki lebih banyak poin. Itu adalah fenomena alam.

"100.000."

"Ohu … Grand Duke Ariel-nim!" Mata yang sangat bagus. Anda dapat melihat nilai dari item ini. 100.000 poin telah keluar! "

"120.000."

“Grand Duke Okullos-nim! Saya berterima kasih atas pilihan Anda yang cermat. "

"150.000."

“Grand Duke Upa-nim! Kamu sudah keluar! Lelang pertama hanya melibatkan Grand Dukes. "

"200.000."

"Ahh, bahkan Grand Duke Pandemonium-nim! Sekarang semua Adipati Agung terlibat. ”

Item yang bisa memperkuat yang lain adalah daya tarik yang besar. Armor kelas epik mendapatkan properti lain akan bernilai satu juta poin.

Setan-setan lain bahkan tidak berpikir untuk mengangkat tangan.

Tapi…

"300.000."

Saya berbicara satu baris.

Saya maju.

Dubolong bertepuk tangan berlebihan.

“Earl Randalph Brigsiel-nim! Luar biasa. Dia telah mengangkatnya dengan 100.000 poin menjadi 300.000. Apakah ada lagi? "

Atmosfer yang panas sepertinya dituangkan air dingin. Semua iblis tahu bahwa saya menghabiskan lebih banyak poin daripada siapa pun di Lelang 1 Dunia Iblis.

Tapi saat itulah mereka tidak tahu keberadaan Lelang Dunia Iblis. Jadi itu dianggap karena keberuntungan. Mengumpulkan dari awal tanpa menghabiskan poin apa pun.

Setan-setan itu berpikir saya akan menerima banyak kerusakan dari pelelangan ketika datang ke spesies berkembang biak. Maka iblis-iblis itu menertawakan saya.

Namun saya menunjukkan perilaku yang sama bahkan di Lelang Dunia Iblis ke-2?

Mereka benar-benar khawatir.

Tentu saja, saya mungkin baru saja mengumpulkan poin sepanjang tahun. Masalahnya adalah mereka tidak memiliki penjelasan untuk makhluk kelas atas.

Menggunakan 300.000 poin di awal …

Mereka tidak mengira saya akan tampil dengan murah hati. Ini hanyalah barang lelang pertama.

Kepala iblis mulai menjadi sibuk.

Dan mereka semua sampai pada satu kesimpulan.

'Pamer!'

Meningkatkan poin dengan 100.000.

Itu untuk membuat saingan mengonsumsi 300.000 pada awalnya. Kode Astral hebat, tetapi tidak pada tingkat di mana mereka akan mengambil risiko.

"Selamat! Kode Astral telah dijual ke Randalph-nim. Itu akan dikirim ke penjara bawah tanah Anda segera setelah pelelangan berakhir. "

Dubolong mengakhirinya.

Roh-roh itu memindahkan kotak yang penuh dengan Kode Astral.

Aku dengan santai melihat ke panggung.

Dubolong tertawa dan memperkenalkan item berikut.

"Ini bukanlah akhir. Item lelang kedua juga akan menarik perhatian para tamu. Apakah Anda tahu tentang 'Pedang Darhan?' Pedang yang diwarnai dengan darah predator yang menakutkan Dunia Iblis bertahun-tahun yang lalu! Pedang yang memakan darah. Roh-roh mengalami banyak kesulitan untuk mendapatkan pedang ini. "

TAK!

Itu pada saat itu.

Aula yang luas. Setelah beberapa saat, Dubolong menampar pahanya. Sekali lagi itu adalah tindakan untuk menarik perhatian.

Dengan santai aku melipat tangan.

Segera roh-roh hitam itu mengeluarkan pedang besar yang panjangnya sekitar 2 meter.

Pedang itu memancarkan cahaya merah. Saya ingat item ini dari daftar. Mungkin masih ada item tersembunyi jadi saya membuka Mind's Eye.

-Name – Darhan’s Sword (U)

Deskripsi: Pedang yang terbuat dari darah seorang darhan. Pengguna secara alami akan membutuhkan darah.

* Tergantung pada jumlah darah yang diserap, kekuatan akan meningkat sebesar 1 ~ 5.

** Seorang pengguna dengan kecerdasan rendah kemungkinan memiliki jiwa mereka tersedot ke dalam pedang.

Saya mengangguk pada opsi tersembunyi di isinya.

Di kehidupan saya sebelumnya, iblis yang membeli pedang menjadi hantu. Pengguna secara naluriah mengacungkannya untuk memusnahkan semua makhluk hidup di medan perang.

Saya tidak mengetahuinya tetapi iblis itu memiliki kecerdasan paling rendah di antara iblis. Kecerdasan dan kekuatan sihirnya rendah sehingga wajar jika dia menjadi hantu.

Dubolong menunjukkan sikap kemenangan saat dia berteriak.

“Mulai dari 150.000 poin! Anda akan menyesal jika Anda melewatkan kesempatan ini. Pedang Darhan sangat berharga. "

"150.000."

Saya berbicara dulu kali ini.

“Earl Randalph-nim! Randalph-nim telah memutuskan untuk berpartisipasi setelah hanya mendapatkan item! "

"170.000."

“Marquis Dellat-nim! 170.000 poin telah keluar. "

"180.000."

"Earl Randalph-nim!"

"200.000."

Marquis Groggy-nim! Sebuah pembuka yang bagus! "

"250.000."

"Ohh! Bahkan lebih! Earl Randalph-nim telah meningkatkannya menjadi 250.000 poin. "

Kakiku bergetar. Itu sedikit gemetar tetapi setan lain menyadarinya.

"270.000."

“Marquis Groggy-nim! Sangat ganas. Dubolong bertanya-tanya siapa pemenang pertarungan ini! ”

Saya mengintip di kamp Grand Duke Upa dan melihat Groggy memberi saya senyum beracun.

Tindakan provokatif. Wajahnya sepertinya bertanya apakah aku punya poin lagi.

Dia sepertinya berpikir bahwa aku menginginkan Pedang Darhan.

Saya telah menunjukkan gerakan tidak sabar saat pedang keluar. Jadi dia bahkan tidak memikirkannya.

‘Terkait dengan benar.’

Seperti yang saya maksudkan.

Sial baginya, saya sudah memiliki item set epik 'Wrath.' Tidak ada penalti untuk menggunakannya, pedang memberi 7 kekuatan dan ada juga keterampilan sehingga itu adalah pedang yang berharga.

Tidak ada alasan bagiku untuk mendapatkan pedang lain.

Groggy terpikat oleh umpan saya.

Saya berhenti di sini.

Beberapa detik berlalu sebelum Dubolong berteriak.

"Darhan's Sword telah dijual ke Marquis Groggy-nim dengan harga 270.000 poin. Selamat."

Groggy sangat gembira. Dia pikir dia menang dan aku nyaris tidak berhasil menahan tawa agar tidak keluar.

Groggy tidak tahu tentang opsi tersembunyi dan kemungkinan menjadi hantu setelah menggunakan pedang. Groggy memiliki 64 kecerdasan. Itu cukup rendah.

Dia hanya menempatkan dirinya di jalan penghancuran diri …!

Dia benar-benar tertipu.

Setan-setan lain tidak akan memiliki cadangan poin yang besar. Paling-paling, mereka akan menganggap standar sekitar 500.000. Saya telah menghabiskan 300.000 poin pada Astral Code sehingga dia yakin saya menggertak.

“Memperkenalkan item ketiga. Roh-roh itu memeras upaya terbaik kami dan berhasil menangkap makhluk yang sebelumnya telah punah, 'Cursed Yeti.' Kami hanya memperlihatkan seekor anak kucing tetapi itu bisa tumbuh menjadi makhluk kelas atas. ”

Setelah beberapa saat, yeti cub terkutuk yang terperangkap di balik jeruji dibawa keluar.

Itu hanya sekitar 1 meter. Mirip dengan bentuk orangutan tetapi dengan sedikit lebih banyak otot. Biasanya yeti memiliki bulu putih tetapi yeti yang dikutuk itu berwarna hitam.

Spesies yang tidak akan dijual di toko.

Spesies yang hampir punah yang tidak dapat ditemukan di Dunia Iblis.

Saya ingin tahu dan menggunakan Mata Pikiran.

Nama: Yeti Terkutuk

Statistik

Kekuatan 33 Kecerdasan 17

Agility 29 Stamina 41

Kekuatan Sihir 26

Potensi: (146/329)

Keunikan: Seekor anak dari yeti yang dikutuk.

Keahlian: Tidak ada

Melihat potensi, orang dewasa akan cocok dengan makhluk 2Lv canggih. Dubolong melebih-lebihkan ketika dia mengatakan itu akan menjadi makhluk kelas tinggi.

Tetapi iblis-iblis lain tidak tahu fakta ini. Yeti yang dikutuk itu hampir punah sehingga iblis tidak melihatnya untuk waktu yang lama.

Namun, tidak banyak setan yang akan sangat diyakinkan. Setan tidak ingin ditipu. Jika mereka menawar dan itu bukan makhluk kelas tinggi …

Saya sudah mengharapkannya dari awal.

“Mulai dari 200.000 poin! Jangan berpikir itu mahal. Makhluk kelas tinggi akan dijual dengan jutaan poin. ”

200.000 poin!

Merobek.

Tiruan Dubolong dimulai.

Saya menunggu seseorang mengangkat tangan mereka terlebih dahulu.

Faksi iblis saling bertukar pandang mengatakan 'tidak yakin' dan menggelengkan kepala. Mind's Eye dapat melihat jendela status dan potensi lawan saya. Mereka tidak bisa percaya diri tanpa mempelajari detail lebih lanjut tentang situasi ini.

"200.000."

Saat ini, seseorang mengajukan penawaran.

“Marquis Groggy-nim! Pilihan bijak. "

Pening.

Dia telah membeli Pedang Darhan dengan harga 270.000 sehingga mengejutkan bahwa dia masih memiliki sisa poin. Mungkin dia menghabiskan tahun lalu mengumpulkan poin. Setan di faksi Upa …

Faksi Grand Duke Upa sepertinya tidak tahu tentang yeti yang dikutuk.

"210.000."

“Earl Randalph-nim! Kamu merasa serakah meski sudah memiliki makhluk kelas atas! ”

Tidak dapat dihindari bahwa saya akan berpartisipasi.

Groggy memelototiku setelah kata-kata Dubolong.

"220.000!"

Dia tidak tahan dihina dan mengangkat nomor itu.

Saya mengangkat bendera putih pada saat ini.

“Marquis Groggy-nim! 220.000 poin telah keluar! Lagi? Jika tidak ada yang menawar maka yeti yang dikutuk akan pergi ke Marquis Groggy-nim! ”

10 detik berlalu.

Tidak ada orang lain yang menawar.

"Yeti yang dikutuk telah dijual ke Marquis Groggy-nim!"

Dubolong bertepuk tangan keras.

Saya bertepuk tangan di dalam hati saya.

200.000 poin dengan satu kalimat.

‘Sejumlah besar poin hilang.’

Pedang Darhan dan yeti yang dikutuk. Keduanya digabung menjadi lebih dari 500.000 poin. Setan memiliki rata-rata 330.000 ~ 340.000 poin jadi itu adalah angka yang signifikan.

Satu iblis telah menghabiskan 500.000 poin. Dia adalah salah satu dari orang-orang Grand Duke Upa sehingga hal-hal yang disederhanakan menjadi lebih sederhana.

Setelah itu, 7 item lelang lainnya berlalu dengan cepat.

Saya tidak membeli barang apa pun. Hanya Kode Astral. Tidak perlu serakah.

Tapi saya pura-pura mengajukan penawaran untuk terus meningkatkannya.

Semua orang yang berkumpul di sini adalah musuhku. Aku bahkan tidak bisa dengan mudah mempercayai Dubolong. Menipu musuh untuk membuat mereka memboroskan sumber daya adalah strategi dasar dalam perang.

Tetapi pada saat yang sama, ada perasaan aneh. Setiap kali saya bergerak. Seseorang selalu menawar lebih tinggi pada barang yang saya angkat. Grand Duke Upa dan iblis-iblisnya.

"Datang di tenggorokanku."

Balas dendam untuk tahun lalu? Itu bukan langkah besar tapi saya merasa tidak enak.

Bagaimanapun, orang yang memiliki strategi akan melakukannya dengan baik. Sejauh ini, saya telah menang. Tapi saya tidak bisa terlalu serakah. Masa depan tidak bisa dijamin.

Saya berpikir kembali satu tahun. Pada saat itu, saya berada dalam posisi yang sangat menguntungkan. Tetapi setan juga menyadari keberadaan Lelang Dunia Iblis. Saya bisa melihat bahwa dari mereka semua mempelajari keterampilan Observasi.

Perbedaan antara mengetahui dan tidak mengetahui adalah besar. Tidak ada ruang untuk kesombongan.

“Aku jamin bahwa item lelang ke-11 akan membuat semua matamu melebar. Salah satu dari 'Lima Patung' yang harus Anda ketahui. Kami menemukannya di bawah tanah. Salah satu dari Lima Patung, Patung Kelimpahan! ”

Patung Kelimpahan!

Item yang diperlukan untuk penjara bawah tanah apa pun. Saya juga sudah menunggu.

Dalam hati saya gemetar karena saya menggunakan Mata Pikiran.

-Name – Statue of Abundance (Epic)

Deskripsi: Pembuatnya tidak dikenal. Kekuatan tak dikenal berdiam di salah satu dari Lima Patung. Patung Kelimpahan dapat mengandung banyak nyawa.

* Patung itu akan memberikan 'Blessing of the Goddess' ke satu spesies di sekitarnya. Spesies yang menerima berkah akan memiliki tingkat reproduksi yang jauh lebih tinggi dan meningkatkan manifestasi bagian tubuh yang unik.

Item yang kompatibel dengan tree dunia. Efektivitas pohon dunia pada 'spesies alami' akan dipengaruhi oleh Patung Kelimpahan.

Itu adalah item kelas epik dan Mind's Eye sayangnya tidak bisa melihat opsi tersembunyi yang lebih dalam.

I had the same level of knowledge about the Statue of Abundance as the other demons. But I had an overwhelming 6 million points.

In addition, it was a good opportunity to determine the points limitations of the other demons.

They could check the Statue of Abundance with the Observation skill.

Apart from the rating, the ‘Blessing of the Goddess’ would bring great benefits to the dungeon. Anyone would feel greedy over the item.

There was no need to think. Everyone would hold up their hand to bid.

‘However, the winner will be me.’

Aku tersenyum.

It was the start of a full-fledged battle.

Dubolong’s face was glowing with confidence. The Statue of Abundance was enough to surprise everyone. This was something to feel proud of as the auction progressed. There was no need to exaggerate with the Statue of Abundance.

There weren’t any problems like ‘limited to one species.’ A blessing that could breed strong species so the expected value was beyond imagination.

The default base of the creatures…for example, let’s assume that the 1Lv ‘Ogre’ was blessed.

The ogre cost 40,000 points and was an expensive species to breed. The ogres had an extremely short breeding season, breeding once a year and only produced one offspring at most.

In order to breed 30 ogres, a minimum of 1 million points was required.

But the blessing didn’t just increase the reproduction rate.

It also promoted the breeding seasons. The extremely short breeding season didn’t make it easy so solving this problem would be helpful.

A lucky mutation like a twin headed ogre or something similar might appear and that could save hundreds of thousands of points.

There was no demons that didn’t know this fact.

The eyes of the demons burned as they looked at the Statue of Abundance.

This was the 2nd year.

If I could get my hands on it then it really would be a jackpot. I would take a few steps ahead of the other demons. A required item that I needed to defend.

The four factions. And one neutral.

The 70 demon were currently having a silent competition.

Dubolong spread his arms wide.

“I’m not going to speak any longer. We will start at 400,000 points. Please choose wisely.”

The dark spirits said that the demons held an average of 440,000 points. Most demons would choose to participate.

However…the demons couldn’t easily raise their hand.

Tidak ada pilihan.

It was 100,000 points above the reserve.

They didn’t want to spend their points on one item.

The 400,000 starting bid was higher than expected so the atmosphere became rigid.

Dubolong was also slightly confused.

‘It is common sense that it is impossible to gather 7 million points in 2 years.’

I gained this due to my previous experience and the ‘achievement quest.’ As a result, I saw the benefit of millions of points. Dubolong, the Dark Spirit King and even the devil wouldn’t have expected such a thing when designing this.

Who would break first?

I watched with interest.

“400,000.”

“Grand Duke Ariel-nim!”

About 30 seconds of static. However, it felt like dozens of minutes had passed to Dubolong.

Dubolong relaxed now that someone had bid on it. Relief could be heard when he called out Ariel’s name.

“450,000.”

It was easy after the first bid.

“Grand Duke Okullos-nim! He increased the gap by 50,000.”

“500,000.”

“Marquis Anastasia-nim! A large amount of points had been kept hidden!”

“530,000!”

“Duke Dipella-nim! 530,000 points have come out. It is coming quickly. But this is low compared to the value of the Goddess of Fertility!”

The rain came all at once.

530,000.

In my previous life, Duke Dipella was the owner of ‘Mind’s Eye‘ and those words poured cold water on the atmosphere.

It was rare for a demon to have that many points. It could be called a trump card. An item like the Statue of Abundance really brought out the hidden cards of each faction.

And there was no guarantee they could obtain the Statue of Abundance. Only someone like me who had an overwhelming number of points didn’t care…

“Is there any more? If there isn’t then the Statue of Abundance will be sold to Duke Dipella-nim for 530,000 points!”

Dubolong said urgently.

An epic grade item. The efficiency was endless.

Dubolong’s job was to raise it to the best price possible.

It couldn’t stop at 530,000. The dark spirits had suffered obtaining the item.

The abyss was a place in the Demon World that was prohibited. Numerous dark spirits entered and were destroyed while obtaining the Statue of Abundance.

The spirits obtained the auction items through this manner. A place nobody could find. A place people couldn’t enter. A place that shouldn’t be entered…

They opened the doors to places sleeping for thousands or tens of thousands of years and brought out items. There were bound to be some sacrifices. A reasonable compensation should be given for the sacrifices.

“Statue of Abundance! An epic grade item that has infinite possibilities for your dungeon, especially with the blessing. 530,000 points. If there are no more bids in the next minute then it will be transferred to Duke Dipella-nim!”

Dia terburu-buru.

Dubolong let out a barrage of words.

“550,000.”

I finally came out.

The 1st barrier.

I had already purchased the Astral Code for 300,000 points so Dubolong and the other demons were surprised. The boy and girl statues on the ceiling didn’t laugh after I bid 550,000 points.

The total spent was 850,000 points…that was already the highest reserves.

“Earl Randalph-nim! Earl Randalph-nim has made the top bid!”

Dubolong shouted breathlessly.

The battle had restarted.

“600,000.”

“I am feeling breathless, Grand Duke Ariel-nim! She has joined in again!”

There were few goods that Grand Duke Ariel was obsessed with. It was rare for her to spend points unless it was a particularly good weapon.

Her greed would then break out.

The side hall where Grand Duke Ariel’s faction was located where I didn’t need to turn my head. Ariel was centrally located and staring at me.

She had tested me at the 1st Demon World Auction. And I had gained the advantage in that encounter.

Lalu bagaimana dengan sekarang?

600,000 points. She must really want to buy the Statue of Abundance. So she was telling me to stop at this point.

Little by little, my existence was being embedded in her eyes.

Of course, I couldn’t stop here.

“610,000.”

Ariel Diablo.

She had two horns similar to a goat. The horns on the forehead that proved she was the descendant of a devil turned red.

“Earl Randalph-nim! He is like a sea. You can never tell where he ends!”

“620,000.”

“Grand Duke Ariel-nim……!”

“630,000.”

“Earl Randalph-nim! A close match!”

Kwajik!

Ariel caused a crack in the hall.

She had an aggressive and straightforward personality. She wasn’t greedy but she wanted to get her hands on everything she desired, like a child. She didn’t use dirty methods like Upa but directly took action.

She seemed to really want the Statue of Abundance.

However, I had no intention of yielding.

Ariel Diablo moved her eyes towards her demons.

She wanted to check if there were any demons with more than 630,000 points. In other words, her limit was 620,000 points.

But the expressions of the demons under her wasn’t good. Ariel glared at me before looking away. She turned her head.

“Is there any more? The bid isn’t finalized yet!”

No more demons wanted to bid.

Dubolong seemed to sense this and sighed before clapping. The result was less than expected but I had successfully defended it.

"Selamat! The winning bid for the Statue of Abundance is Earl Randalph-nim with 630,000 points!”

Astral Code and the Statue of Abundance.

So far I had bought those two things at the auction.

The other demons judged that I used all my points and would develop new strategies. They relaxed now that they didn’t think I could dominate the auction items.

Thanks to the Statue of Abundance, they also found out that Grand Duke Ariel’s faction had 620,000 points. Their minds were relieved.

But they didn’t know. They couldn’t know.

I still had close to 6 million points remaining!

I gave a small smile.

‘Be careless. Forget about my existence. And be surprised.’

I would soon destroy their common sense. No, I was aiming for it. Wreak havoc and make them panic.

Soon they would be forced to wave a white flag.

Ini hanya awal. Now I was starting for real.

With the next goods that showed up, I made bids of less than 200,000 points.

The demons paid no attention to me. They thought I was trying to obtain more items with the low amount of points I had left.

And the 15th item.

The Sage’s Leap.

It raised a unique or lower grade skill up one rating. I had instantly bought it before last year’s auction to upgrade Mind’s Eye.

The price started at 150,000 and reached 300,000 in an instant.

Everyone was watching the top bid.

“320,000.”

I finally opened up.

In the end, I successfully bought Sage’s Leap for 320,000 and the demons scowled at me. Their eyes were asking if I had any more points. I had already used 1.25 million points and my attitude seemed to confirm that I was still holding points. But they were still acting in accordance with ‘common sense.’

However, that common sense wouldn’t last long.

“The 18th auction item…don’t be surprised. The body of an earth dragon! The hard scales and bones of the earth dragon clearly doesn’t have any damage and it looks like it can move at any moment!”

The auction proceeded quickly. It reached the 18th auction and the demons’ ear pricked up at Dubolong’s words.

Earth dragon!

The earth dragon was a creature that reached high class 4Lv. But they weren’t easy to obtain. The earth dragon was born from a huge forest.

In special cases where very old forests met certain conditions, the forest would transform into an earth dragon. But aside from that, not much was known about the mysterious species.

The body of a earth dragon?

The demons who liked research would naturally feel greedy.

The body of an earth dragon was well worth it. A dwarf would be able to make many unique grade equipment with it. Materials that had many uses.

After a while, the dark spirits pulled out the giant body of an earth dragon.

A huge 20 metres in size.

The body was covered with glossy, green scales. There were two empty, hollow eyes. The unquestionable quality of the magic power in the bones could be felt. Densely concentrated magic power filled the bones of the earth dragon.

The condition was very good.

It seemed like the dragon would come back to life and roar at any moment.

'Baik.'

Aku mengangguk.

Great material. An item I desired.

‘It won’t be bad with Undead Manufacturing.’

Chrisley would be able to grant new life to the body of the earth dragon. The skill level of Undead Manufacturing was still too low to use on such a great material but…I was willing to wait for that time. Magic would preserve the corpse until Chrisley’s Undead Manufacturing skill reached the required level.

If I was lucky, a 2Lv high class ‘Bone Dragon’ that was the pinnacle of the undead could be produced. It was wishful thinking but not impossible. Furthermore, the state of the body was good so I had high expectations.

‘The bodies of the creatures in Adol’s dungeon are crushed so there is no possibility of selling them.’

They had been completely crushed by the golems. I felt regret after remembering it.

Anyway, I wasn’t the only one thinking this.

There were quite a few demons who mastered undead related skills. Their eyes started to shine.

“Starting at 300,000! This is the body of an earth dragon. The benefits are endless. And this opportunity is likely to never come again!”

Betul.

It was extremely hard to save the body of an earth dragon.

Usually an earth dragon would turn back to a forest again when it died. A well preserved body of an earth dragon was really unique.

“300,000.”

“Grand Duke Pandemonium-nim! You will never regret paying that price!”

“350,000.”

“Ohh, Duke Dipella-nim!”

“400,000.”

“You must get it. Marquis Anastasia-nim!”

It was a situation where the demons would use almost all their points. There was nothing to fear anymore. That’s why it quickly rose by 50,000.

Every demon was an enemy.

“430,000.”

“Duke Dipella-nim! Do you have a good use for the body? But it has only gone over 400,000. It is still only at 430,000!”

Cih!

Marquis Anastasia clicked her tongue.

She couldn’t bid any more.

“450,000.”

“Grand Duke Upa-nim! You are participating after a long time. 450,000 points have come out. Is there any more?”

Except for the Astral Code, Upa hadn’t made any more bids. He even sat still for the Statue of Abundance.

It meant Upa participated because the body of the earth dragon was important to him.

‘Then…’

I crossed my legs.

I relaxed in my seat with folded arms and spoke in a calm voice.

“500,000.”

Astral Code 300,000, Statue of Abundance 630,000, Sage’s Leap 320,000…and now 500,000 for the earth dragon.

So far I called out a grand total of 1.75 million points.

Even Dubolong looked at me with shock. The demons had the same reaction as well.

A demon holding that many points after just 2 years!

Most of them hadn’t even reached the limit of 1 million. In general, they got points from handling the Awakened that entered their dungeon. But having that many points through the dungeon was beyond imagination. It was impossible to gather 1 million with just that. Then 1.75 million?

"Tidak mungkin!"

A demon from Upa’s faction shouted.

Groggy.

The expression of elation he had after winning Darhan’s Sword was gone. Groggy’s face contorted as he glared at me before moving his eyes to the ceiling.

He was certain that the boys and girls on the ceiling would be laughing with ridicule. But…Groggy’s hope didn’t last.

The statues hanging from the ceiling weren’t laughing.

A moment passed and Groggy looked at me again.

Complex subtleties. But I could clearly see ‘outrage’ in his eyes.

He realized that he had been a fish caught on a hook. He finally noticed that Darhan’s Sword was bait. I was the fisherman and Groggy was the fish. A fish stupid enough to be caught!

Oduduk!

Groggy’s body started shaking. The sound of grinding teeth could be heard.

The subsequent humiliation. But this was the Demon World Auction. His error might affect his faction. All Groggy could do was tremble.

“500,000! 500,000 points have come out. Earl Randalph-nim has made a bid!”

Dubolong cried out and broke the silence.

Dubolong had also been surprised. I had called out 500,000 with no hesitation so he had been at a loss. Spending 1.75 million. He closed his eyes and imagined that many points.

This was because Dubolong was a spirit. If he thought about it a little bit more then he could determine that I had more points.

On the other hand, the demons were different.

The demons only saw what they wanted to see. They had paranoid tendencies. Every time I called to raise the points, they would think ‘that is the end.’ They couldn’t imagine that an enemy had so many points.

But I was slowly breaking their prejudices. I would personally show them that their thinking was shallow.

Dubolong clapped loudly.

“Luar biasa! The body of the earth dragon! This makes 4 items that have been sold to Earl Randalph-nim!”

30 seconds passed and no demons tried to make a higher bid.

Itu alami. I took it for granted that I would win the points showdown. There was no way they could beat me.

Dubolong coughed and opened his mouth.

“Now, there are still many items remaining! The following item is…”

Dubolong’s expression suddenly changed.

His playful expression had disappeared. It was an attitude that he had never shown in the auction.

It was like someone invisible was talking to him.

‘I can feel the interference of magic power.’

I noticed that a third party magic power was interfering with Dubolong. Dubolong was communicating with someone similar to the manner I talked to Yihi.

But Dubolong was a high class spirit… He can easily deal with any mental attacks. Those that could connect to him were very limited. Especially since his expression looked like he was making a report.

‘King of the Dark Spirits.’

Dark Spirit King.

Yes, it could only be the Dark Spirit King. Especially since Dubolong looked nervous.

Dozens of seconds passed before Dubolong spoke with a weak expression.

"Maafkan saya. We will have a break for a while. If you need anything then speak to the workers nearby. We will give you the best treatment.”

Dubolong bowed his head and disappeared behind the stage. Low grade dark spirits started walking in the vicinity of the demons.

‘The call of the Dark Spirit King…’

A spirit approached me with a seductive smile and started kneading my shoulders, but my nerves were solely focused on Dubolong.

In the past, the Dark Spirit King had rarely interfered with the auction. He would only convey a story through Dubolong when there was a very serious matter.

Apa yang sudah terjadi?

I worried about it while waiting for Dubolong to appear again.

After 30 minutes, Dubolong climbed back on the stage.

He briefly bowed and then opened his mouth.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. The auction will proceed normally so there is no need to worry. And I would like to say congratulations once again to Earl Randalph-nim for winning the 18th auction item, the Earth Dragon’s Body.”

Dubolong looked at me with a strange smile.

I frowned as I saw it.

Why did he bother repeating the congratulations? Furthermore, that smile from Dubolong gave me a completely different feeling.

I couldn’t think of the reason.

That…Dubolong.

The action made him seem like he was going to act as a scammer. There were many questionable things about that smile.

“Now, this isn’t the end. There are still many items that haven’t been made public. The 19th item is now coming up on stage and I am sure you will be very satisfied. An item that will satisfy all my guests, Tear of the Moon!”

The spirit workers brought out a beautifully decorated box.

Dubolong opened the box that he was handed and a floating water droplet was revealed.

I saw it and inwardly panicked.

‘Different.’

Dubolong had sent me the auction list in advance.

There was no ‘Tear of the Moon’ on it. I had memorized it several times.

There was nothing to suggest this item would come out.

My mind thought about it.

It was obvious that the list had been renewed after receiving the call of the Dark Spirit King.

Mengapa? That was the first question that popped into my head.

There was no significant benefit to changing the goods.

After all, the demons had limited points. They would just be exhausting the items on the list.

Then I remembered Dubolong’s strange smile.

‘Huk…is the Dark Spirit King sending a message to me?’

I could confirm it.

I needed to keep watch while the auction was in progress.

“The Tear of the Moon contains an intensive amount of magic power. The magic power has been refined for millions of years and can greatly increase your stats! Look at this glistening light. Bukankah ini luar biasa? "

Dubolong was babbling on.

The water droplet that flashed in the light. It seemed like the light of the moon was gushing out of it.

I regained my composure and opened up Mind’s Eye.

-Name – Tear of the Moon

Description: The magic of the moon is naturally refined to give intense magic power. If someone with less than 80 magic power consumes it then magic power will increase by 3. If the person has more than 85 magic power then it will increase by 2. If magic power is more than 90 then it will increase by 1.

** There is a very low probability of receiving the ‘Curse of the Moon.’

There was a hidden option. But it was a very low probability so there was no need to greatly worry. The question was whether I should purchase the item.

Of course, the item depended on my stats. My pure magic power was 85. If I consumed it then I could raise magic power by 2.

It was an obvious thing to purchase but I needed to think of Dubolong and the Dark Spirit King’s intentions.

‘First…’

I stared at Dubolong.

I didn’t know what their intentions were but the Tear of the Moon was necessary for me. I simple couldn’t resist it.

‘I will play.’

So I would buy it. I would slowly figure out their intentions in the auction.

“We will start at 250,000 points. If any guests are low on magic power then hurry and buy it. Don’t miss this opportunity!”

“250,000.”

“…Earl Randalph-nim!”

The demons hesitated.

They gazed at me furtively.

However, I was still only looking at Dubolong.

“270,000.”

“Sudah lama. Marquis Dellat-nim! 270,000 points have come out. You will never regret this choice! Hurry and bid!”

“280,000.”

“Well, nice to meet you. Duke Suguph!”

“300,000.”

“A great strength. Earl Randalph-nim has bid 300,000 points.”

The demons that wanted to bid hesitated.

The demons with more than 300,000 were the top ranked demons and had high stats to prove it.

Having magic power increase by 2 was tempting but there were many items yet to be announced. Something that exceeded the efficiency of 2 magic power might come out.

Even Darhan’s Sword could increase strength by 5 depending on the amount of blood absorbed.

"Selamat. The Tear of the Moon has been sold!”

300,000 points was an appropriate price.

My mind couldn’t feel at ease after winning the Tear of the Moon. This wasn’t the end. I was the only demon who knew that the list had changed. I could roughly guess what would happen with the next auction.

“Then I will introduce the 20th item straight away. A contrast with the previous item! ‘Smile of the Sun!”

Memang…

That wasn’t on the list of items.

Tear of the Moon and Smile of the Sun.

Like a matching rhyme.

It felt like the two items were split apart.

I immediately used Mind’s Eye.

-Name – Smile of the Sun

Description: The magic of the sun is naturally crystallized to give intense magic power. If someone with less than 80 intelligence consumes it then intelligence will increase by 3. If the person has more than 85 intelligence then it will increase by 2. If intelligence is more than 90 then it will increase by 1.

** There is a very low probability of receiving the ‘Curse of the Sun.’

The moon and sun, these items increased magic power and intelligence.

Would there be any added options from consuming both at the same time?

Tear of the Moon, Smile of the Sun. Both had appeared in my previous life. And at that time, the different demons had bought and consumed it. I couldn’t be sure what effect would appear.

'Mengapa?'

I touched my jaw.

I knew for certain that the Dark Spirit King was sending a message to me.

Enemy or ally.

Gain or loss…

In this world, there were no eternal allies.

Despite having a secret agreement, this could be broken at any time. I needed to be more careful.

“This will start at 250,000 points! Unlike the Tear of the Moon, Smile of the Sun increases intelligence! Don’t miss out on this opportunity.”

After a moment, one person opened up.

“250,000.”

“Marquis Anastasia-nim! 250,000 points have come out. Is there any more?”

Dubolong looked around.

However, intelligence was a somewhat neglected ability. Unlike other stats, it had a less direct effect that could be felt. No one put up a higher bid.

I was also troubled. But I should see it through to the end.

I came to that conclusion and opened my mouth.

“260,000.”

This made it 2.31 million.

The total amount of points I used during the auction.

The boy and girl statues were still not laughing. It meant I had the required amount of points. At this point, the demons couldn’t help being curious.

How the hell did I obtain so many points?

The trend of Awakened entering the dungeon was declining every day. The points revenue in the first year was better. However, I had even more points than the 1st year.

They wondered what my secret was.

Greed and interest flashed in the eyes of some demons.

Even Grand Duke Okullos who didn’t have a lot of interest in anything was looking at me.

However…I couldn’t afford to care about them.

“Smile of the Sun has been won for 260,000 points. Congratulations Earl Randalph-nim!”

Dubolong took a deep breath.

Then he went straight to the next item.

“The long-awaited 21st item. And you should remember the sealed items that appeared in the last auction. If you are lucky then you might even obtain an epic level item. It came again this year. A sealed cloak!”

The dark spirits emerged at Dubolong’s words.

A dark crimson cloak. There was soot everywhere and it looked dilapidated.

This was the first time a sealed item appeared in this auction.

Anyway, I was different from the other demons and could see the options.

I opened Mind’s Eye and a message window flashed in the air.

-Name – Sloth (Epic, Set Item)

Description: The last work made by the mythical blacksmith Oswen that even the gods opposed. Characterized by the 7 deadly sins, the evil contained in it was so powerful that Oswen reportedly went crazy.

“The only virtue of a king is sloth!”

* Agility +7, the Epic grade skill ‘Sloth’ can be used once every 7 days.

-A ‘Seven Sins’ set item has been found.

Collecting the same type of set items will increase the effect.

-A penalty will be given for the very high seal.

Strength -10 for 72 hours.

I stared into the air.

Last year, I had obtained a piece of the Seven Sins set and another one had surfaced this year.

But I couldn’t just sit back and enjoy it.

Tear of the Moon and Smile of the Sun. Sloth had also come out.

This process wasn’t normal.

‘Testing me.’

Aku mendecakkan lidahku.

I finally realized the Dark Spirit King’s intentions.

Although it was sealed, the spirits were probably aware of Sloth’s existence. They maybe realized that I also took Wrath.

‘The owner of a high level observation skill to see through the seal. The holder of a vast amount of points…’

This was the test. I didn’t know why but the Dark Spirit King was watching me. He was throwing good stuff to see if I had the power to ‘purchase’ it.

The ability to see the items and possessing an enormous amount of points.

And I did as he intended when I bought the Tear of the Moon and Smile of the Sun. They were good items because they increased intelligence and magic power.

Begitu.

‘Sloth.’

Sloth was one of the Seven Sins.

Itu adalah dilema. A must-have item for me. I already had Wrath. If I got my hands on Sloth then my combat power would rise. But it was a problem if I confirmed the Dark Spirit King’s thoughts the moment I bought it.

It would also be an obstacle if the spirits had the rest of the Seven Sins. Would I be able to get the remaining five items if I didn’t move a little bit? I made some pragmatic calculations and leaned towards the side of ‘buying.’

I knew myself well.

‘It is inevitable that I will bite the bait.’

My forehead creased.

I was caught by the Dark Spirit King’s plan the moment I used Mind’s Eye on Sloth. Although I didn’t mind revealing the vast amount of points I had…

Cih. Aku mendecakkan lidahku.

I realized that I was forced to buy Sloth.

“Look at this sealed cloak in detail. It isn’t simply an old and torn cloak. Have you heard of ‘Oswen?’ A blacksmith of the Demon World. Even the gods couldn’t help being amazed by his creations! This cloak was obtained by chance in the cave where he died. It certainly isn’t an ordinary item.”

Dubolong said.

Sealed equipment.

There was no way for the spirits to verify it.

However, they could make deductions according to the appearance and the place where they found the item.

At the same time, the demons started to stir.

The demons knew Oswen.

He left many rare equipment. They had the power to separate the ground and sky. Those who accidentally obtained Oswen’s weapons would have their power incomparably changed.

There was an tremendous upheaval in the Demon World every time a weapon appeared. War would break out several times over it.

Grand Duke Ariel.

In particular, her eyes flashed.

When she was in the Demon World, her favourite weapon was made by Oswen. If Ariel’s patent skill ‘Abyss Sword’ was used with Oswen’s sword then it would turn many demons into powder.

But shortly after that, the 72 demons were forced to leave the Demon World to compete in this world. All weapons were taken away and as a weapons master, she felt greatly disappointed.

Although it would be worth it if she could buy the cloak.

Hearing the name Oswen was enough.

‘She is aiming at it.’

I touched my wrinkled forehead. I wasn’t informed about Sloth. But if I bought it then a conflict would break out. Maybe the Tear of the Moon and Smile of the Sun was to figure out if I had the power to purchase Sloth. It was so obvious that a laugh couldn’t help coming out.

Dubolong gave a wily smile and opened his mouth.

“The starting points of a sealed item is exceptionally high. 300,000. 300,000 points!”

“300,000.”

“Grand Duke Ariel-nim! This isn’t necessarily a winning bid!”

The first one to move was Grand Duke Ariel.

She had a combative stance.

Ariel’s purchase limit was 620,000 points. This limitation was revealed thanks to the Statue of Abundance.

“350,000.”

“Duke Dipella-nim!”

“600,000.”

“…! Grand Duke Ariel-nim! A troublesome contention! A move with the intention of winning!”

Itu menjadi sunyi. This was the first time it had jumped 250,000 points. It meant she was greedy to get Sloth.

There was Oswen’s name but Ariel also had a discerning eye. I discovered that when she tried to bid for Wrath last time.

Of course, none of the demons bid after that. From the beginning, not many demons had more than 600,000 points.

“630,000.”

“No, Earl Randalph-nim! A great strength. And somehow it is a familiar figure.”

Was it enough?

Dubolong shook his head. He already knew that Ariel’s limit was 630,000 points.

In fact, it could be seen just from Ariel’s expression.

Deeply furrowed eyebrows. Firmly closed mouth. An expression that made people feel discomfort.

Tapi itu bukan akhirnya.

The usually sharp two horns grew even further. Blood seemed to flow into her red eyes. She moved from her seat and stood in front of me.

I shrugged and remained sitting down. In an auction, the basic strategy was to determine the limits of the enemy and try to bid higher.

“Are you trying to push ahead without having enough points?”

“Rude bastard. Kamu pikir aku ini siapa? I’m not someone you can face.”

She was Grand Duke Ariel.

Despite her character, she had the nobility and elegance of a Grand Duke. I had to admit it. Upa was sneaky, Pandemonium liked criticizing and I never knew what Okullos was thinking.

It wasn’t a normal personality. But I was immune to her anger.

“That…the auction is now in progress. Please refrain from any actions detrimental to the auction.”

Dubolong who was watching said.

The Demon World Auction wasn’t a place to make trouble. Demons competed with each other through points.

Of course, it was possible to restrict their entry if there was any confusion.

Ariel knew this. It had been 2 years. There would be numerous opportunities in the future. She wasn’t stupid so she realized this.

“I admit that your ability is extraordinary.”

I disregarded her angry expression and complimented her.

Ariel slowly said.

“So Randalph Brigsiel. Come to my faction.”

A sudden suggestion. In front of all the demons watching.

I was at a loss for a moment due to her boldness.

Setelah beberapa saat.

Aku menggelengkan kepala.

I had already rejected her once. Of course, her proposal was following a test but I rejected her anyway. Even so, she once again made the same offer.

The location was also a problem. An auction was currently taking place. All the Grand Dukes and demons were watching us now.

I opened my eyes and gazed at Ariel.

'Aneh.'

Ariel.

Ariel was resourceful. A demon who thought first before acting. But she chose this timing to make the offer. If I nodded then she wouldn’t receive any damages and if I refused, she would have some justifications.

Instinctive behaviour or a calculated ruse? Was she aiming for it or…

I just couldn’t tell.

“I reject. My temperament isn’t suited to being under someone else. Wouldn’t I rather reign?”

Anyway, I still gave an answer. And I spoke my true purpose.

From the beginning, I was the enemy of all the demons gathered here. It was a subject that I didn’t mind publicizing.

Grand Duke Ariel’s expression changed.

“You reject me and even mentioned ruling…right in front of me, Ariel.”

‘Indeed, this rude guy,’ she seemed to be saying as she stroked her smaller horn. Then her horns shortened to their original appearance.

“No one other than the Grand Dukes has ever reigned over the Demon World. I am also one of them. This hasn’t changed for a very long time. Do you know what you are saying?”

“There is only one rule in the Demon World. The strong will eat the weak!”

I openly denied Ariel. Saya tertawa.

This had nothing to do with rank.

The strong monopolized everything. The strongest would rule the Demon World. That was the absolute law.

When I was in the Demon World, I was an upstart who challenged the Grand Dukes. They treated me like a brat and laughed while beating me up. A guy they had erased from their memories.

But I was no longer a brat.

The guy who didn’t know his limits had disappeared.

Now I was strong.

Ariel’s face became intrigued.

At the same time, she shook her head.

“…Can you take responsibility for that?”

She was asking if I qualified for the most basic but absolute law.

I rose.

I was staring straight into Ariel’s red eyes.

“I’m not the one who should be saying that. Ariel Diablo.”

I wasn’t weak. A confidence that I could eat all these demons alone!

Ariel could slightly glimpse this.

“This isn’t an easy choice.”

Ariel turned and looked at the other three sitting.

And she made a charged declaration.

"Mendengarkan! Randalph Brigsiel didn’t accept my offer and I, Grand Duke Ariel will never allow him to take the throne. This is my declaration of war! I will break him with my full power!”

An official declaration. Ariel was literally acting against me.

She approached me with the intention of blocking me. Ariel’s voice carried slight traces of her Power of Words skill. However, she should be concerned about what would happen if she couldn’t fully block me.

I didn’t bother adding my own remarks.

Ariel said some final words.

“I hope you meet a miserable death alone. Randalph Brigsiel.”

She finished and walked towards the door without any hesitation.

Dubolong who was watching exclaimed.

“Ariel-nim! The auction hasn’t ended yet!”

“My excitement was broken.”

Kung!

The massive doors closed.

Ariel left the auction hall.

But Ariel’s expression was rotten as she left the auction hall. Her face was like a little child that didn’t get her hands on a toy.

The auction continued.

They were at a loss after Grand Duke Ariel disappeared but soon the demons took part normally in the auction. In the end, Grand Duke Ariel was the only one who left the auction.

But as a result, the atmosphere changed.

First, the attitude of the demons towards me changed. Grand Duke Ariel’s remarks made me emerge as a stronger presence.

It was still lacking but…it was just a matter of time.

Powerful creatures, two dungeons and the humans slowly growing. The demons didn’t know all my hidden cards. If I was given a little bit more time then I would show them the power of an individual with no faction.

Now I had to be satisfied with a little awareness.

However, I would soon by standing side by side with the Grand Dukes for the throne. Furthermore, my true purpose was a complete victory over my competition.

My goal was to make them fear me and become impatient.

I had come close to that goal in 2 years.

From that point of view, Ariel’s behaviour was the bigger income.

Now that their gazes had started to set on me…

I had fully become the protagonist.

After gaining a few more items, I very satisfactorily finished the 2nd auction.
