Chapter 118: Demon World Auction (5) (1/2)

Chapter 118: Demon World Auction (5)

“The ‘Vow of Preparation’ has been won by Grand Duke Okullos!”

“The creature ‘Golonggol’ has been won by Grand Duke Okullos!”

”The 'Heart Shoes’ have...!”

The ensuing auction items.

Okullos’ dominance started. He won five more items and the sixth item he won was the 10th item to be auctioned. A huge five million points was spent.

I always focused on efficiency and didn’t bid for another item after Gaparam. I decided to move only when Mago came out.

However...Okullos always bid even before Mago came out.

I needed to make a successful bid in order to break the situation.

‘Only Okullos is participating in this auction.’

It was another unusual point. All the demons in Okullos’ faction didn’t bid in the auction. Okullos was the only one who participated.

‘Strange.’

The points of other demons could be acquired and used.

However, Death Bringer’s system wasn’t that simple. Even the savvy dark spirits took enormous risks when opening a crack.

Trading points was only allowed for legitimate transactions.

'A reasonable value for goods...’

Yes. It was theoretically possible.

A demon could sell everything in their dungeon. But they couldn’t do such a thing without unwavering faith. It only required one demon for betrayal. And it was ridiculous for demons in a faction to believe in each other. This was impossible.

‘Okullos. What magic is this?’

There was a change. I couldn’t read those changes.

12 people. If I combined the points of all the demons in Okullos’ faction, it should still be less than mine. However, I would have to take a loss.

“Now, the 11th auction item has finally emerged. I bet everyone paid attention to her before the auction. From the Celestial Maiden clan, the high class creature ‘Mago.’ A legendary creature that can travel on the wind and is worth millions of gold. I will be introducing her now.”

The eyes of the demons shone. The item everyone had been waiting for finally appeared.

I was also filled with tension.

In particular, I wanted to keep Okullos in check before he got bigger. He might have read my status window but he didn’t know my total points.

Kwang! Kwang!

Soon a huge cage was brought in by the dark spirits. Mago was inside it. Mago kept turning her body around and cried out.

Dubolong bowed his head gracefully and extended a hand.

“It will start at 1.3 million points.”

”Five million.”

“...Okullos-nim?”

”That isn’t enough?”

“Ah, no. O...kullos-nim has called five million points.”

Dubolong was jolted from his surprise. Five million points!

The boy and girl statues on the ceiling were still not laughing. They moaned as the points were shouted out. In other words, they were thrilled.

There were no other demons that could participate.

In the case of Grand Duke Upa, his face turned red at the thought of losing Mago. However, no one cared about Upa. Okullos glanced at me with a smile.

He was only looking at me.

‘Okullos...!’

He was hostile towards me? He thought he knew my power from checking my status window?

Then he picked the wrong opponent.

Kwaduduk!

I gritted my teeth.

He could obtain other items, but Mago was mine. The only high class 2Lv creature present. It wasn’t likely to come out the next year or the year after. At the very least, it would increase my lead for a year.

I needed to obtain her. I had to firmly maintain my position. I didn’t know what Okullos planned to do with my information. However, I wasn’t going to hide myself away like a good prey.

“Six million.”

“Randalph-nim, it can’t be! Unbelievable! I can’t believe it. This is a really different race.”

“Seven million.”

”Crazy, it is really crazy! Mago’s cries are acting like a celestial harmony. Where will this end?”

Thanks to this, it was announced that Okullos had at least 12 million points. I frowned as I thought about it. I thought I was the only one who had reached over 10 million.

“Eight million.”

”Ahh, it is a truly reasonable price for Mago but it has been a while since I felt such a thrill. Randalph-nim has called eight million points!”

Silence flowed. All the demons were looking between Okullos and I. Their eyes were filled with complex emotions like doubt, jealousy and annoyance.

It was inevitable.

An average of 1.3 million. I drove up the average from one million by 300,000 points.

For many individuals in this auction, one million was the limit at which they could participate. It was common sense. They had seen the practical parts involved in managing a dungeon in the past two years. It was surprisingly difficult to collect points.

However, that common sense was completely broken. It was already half smashed.

How? The first emotion felt was doubt.
