Chapter 115: Demon World Auction (2)

This was the location where the auction items could be previewed .

There was only Ariel in the first year, then quite a few demons in the second year, but now all the demons were examining the goods inside .

There were some familiar faces .

Grand Duke Okullos and his demons . Grand Duke Upa . . . there were quite a few empty positions next to him .

There were exactly 68 demons if I counted . Including me, there were 69 . The number of demons remained unchanged except for the ones I killed . There were no big surprises so far .

But they weren’t interested in me . The sound of footsteps was heard but they didn’t turn their heads once . The huge cage in the middle of the room was drawing all the attention of the demons .

“Hoh . ”

"I think this creature was exterminated so I don’t know where they found it . ”

"On the subject of this creature . . . something is strange . ”

I also felt a similar sentiment .

It was ‘admiration . ’ I moved my gaze and looked at the creature inside the cage .

'She is from the Celestial Maiden clan . Or Mago . ’

A species that mixed with the wind and manipulated storms . That was Mago . At first glance, she had the form of a woman, but wasn’t as beautiful as they were known to be . She was 5m in height and had hair that was dozens of centimetres long . She only had one eye and her breasts were flabby . But her speed and power were enough to startle the heavens and earth .

And Mago had insightful eyes . In my previous life, Okullos has called her his gem of destruction . Their population was very low so it wasn’t easy to obtain them . But . . . one of them could leave senseless devastation and thousands of corpses in their wake .

‘It is good to see her . ’

It was sincerely great .

I smiled as I gazed into Mago’s one eye . After a while, Mago suddenly started to rampage .

Hwiing . . . !

Kwang! Kwang!

A huge storm moved around Mago .

However, the cage was made of a special device and didn’t move an inch .

“Ha!”

"Great magic power!”

“Kiaaack!”

Mago screamed . Then she shed red tears and collapsed .

'This state shows that the contract isn’t complete . ’

This was only the third year .

The spirits weren’t used to dealing with high class creatures .

It was inevitable . Mago was like a rat caught in a trap .

‘You are mine . ’

All the demons here were thinking that .

They swallowed their saliva as they imagined owning Mago . She was a high class 2Lv creature, so they would be able to gain an advantage over the other demons . The demons had been using the time to save their strength . They couldn’t let humans disrupt the balance by killing some demons .

‘Upa . . . he looks impatient . ’

I turned to look at Grand Duke Upa .

The positions next to him that should have been full were quite empty . Pakan Griolli was banned but there should have been two more demons . However, they couldn’t be seen . It was because I killed them .

He didn’t know the facts . Thanks to that, Grand Duke Upa’s expression could easily be read . An expression that showed he couldn’t relax . He showed hostility as he observed the surroundings . There was intense greed in his eyes as he stared at Mago .

“Upa . Don’t you look a little shabby?”

A person with giant goat horns . Perfection didn’t exist in this world, but she was a demon with the blood of the devil!

Grand Duke Ariel openly laughed . The difference between her faction and Upa’s was too large .

Upa’s expression distorted even further .

"Shut up, Ariel . You should hide your indignities . ”

"Hide my indignities? Upa . I don’t like people planning things in secret . ”

"Indeed? It is more classy than challenging a guy . ”

Ariel's expression changed .

"The challenge couldn’t be avoided . So tell me that you want to fight . Although you are completely delusional and childish, isn’t this the perfect moment to break our relationship?”

"Don’t be complacent . Ariel Diablo . . . ”

The two of them growled at each other, revealing their teeth . They had no confidence in fighting each other so it was just a back and forth .

However, what if one of them obtained Mago? It was evident that at least Ariel and Upa would try to obtain Mago .

Compared to them, Okullos and Pandemonium’s desire was lacking . In particular, I couldn’t understand what Okullos was thinking .

Ssik!

Okullos made eye contact with me and smiled . He seemed to be saying ‘I know . ’

Okullos was relaxed . He was like this despite tasting a little bit of my power . . .

‘I need to prepare . ’

At that time, he had said . He had obtained big information in exchange for his arm .

I would have to be prepared depending on the direction he went in .

“Okullos . Where did you sell one of your arms?”

“ . . . . . . ”

Okullos’ smile faded to an expressionless look as he turned around .

"Tsk tsk, you really lack any friendliness . ”

The grand dukes were badmouthing each other . He was Pandemonium . He was critical as he didn’t receive an answer to his question .

However, Pandemonium didn’t stop there .

"Don't you think so? Randalph Brigsiel?”

“I don't know . ”

I tried to suppress my heart from beating wildly . I had little contact with Pandemonium in my previous life . It was the first time he spoke to me, so it meant he ‘accepted’ me to a certain degree .

I had only heard stories about Pandemonium . The demons of the other factions called him very annoying and strange .

'He is someone who would stab a dagger quietly . ’

I was impressed by Pandemonium and opened Mind’s Eye .

Strength 96 Intelligence 93 Agility 91 Stamina 85 Magic 98 Potential (412+51/500)

My total stats were still higher .

After gaining the Infinity Armour, my stats had slowly but steadily grown . Strength increased by one, agility by one, intelligence by two and magic power by two .

But . . . what was a grand duke? His pure abilities were very high .

At that time, Pandemonium narrowed his eyes .

"This wily bastard . You saw something . ”

I calmly replied .

"Are you deluded?”

"My eyes aren’t wrong . It is because I am a person well-versed in spells . ”

"Then I suppose you saw correctly . ”

There was no need to quarrel .

Especially if the opponent was Pandemonium . I would just become more tired from a lengthy altercation . It didn’t matter if he knew that much .

"A mysterious guy . Tell me honestly, are you the one who touched Upa’s faction?”

It seemed he had wanted to ask me this .

At the same time, the magic power in the area changed . His Unique Ward (Epic) skill stretched out . It seemed to purposely block any part of this conversation from leaking .

‘He doesn’t want the other demons to hear . ’

Information was power . Pandemonium was well aware of this . I didn’t know the results, but it seemed like he had really incredible powers of observation .

However, I wasn’t kind enough to give him the answer he was seeking .

“Pandemonium . I thought that was your work . ”

I wasn’t being sincere . I wasn’t sure that I should poke him . But Pandemonium replied firmly .

"Upa is lazy by nature, but now he will be working in earnest . Isn’t it obvious that he is very annoyed?”

Indeed . . .

I was quite familiar with Upa . Upa was aware of the seriousness of three demons in his faction being killed . Apart from Pakan Griolli, the other demons were mediocre so there was no need to be concerned .

But now it was different . Pakan Griolli was a duke so it was natural for Upa to feel concerned . He wanted to ferret out the culprit .

I answered with a smile .

"Why is it important to you?”

"Huhu . Indeed, you are right . But that still doesn’t answer my question . The other grand dukes might be ignoring you, but apart from Ariel, I think that you are the only one who would touch Upa . ”

"They will self-destruct by fighting each other so why should I move? What can I do alone?”

"The reason is not important . And . . . aren’t you twisting this conversation little by little? I have examined your behaviour in the Demon World Auction over the last two years . Your aim to gain our attention was successful . Thanks . . . this has been fun, but I have to go now . ”

Unique Ward was removed .

Nobody seemed to pay any attention as Pandemonium moved away .

'Is he looking down on me?’

Pandemonium seemed inwardly convinced that I was the culprit .

Of course, he wouldn’t pass that information onto Grand Duke Upa . It would be good news for him if Upa continued being damaged . So he seemed to be inciting me .

I made a mistake .

Perhaps I became too proud because of my memories of my previous life . I thought of them as moving puppets .

Out of nowhere, something like this had happened .

‘It won’t be easy . ’

The Demon World Auction .

I was still confident that it would be the beginning of my rise .
