Dungeon Hunter Chapter 117:
Chapter 117: Demon World Auction (4)
“…Hum hum, then I will directly introduce the next auction item . Have you heard of the ‘Valley of Souls?’ There are legends about it . We decided to check it out just once . A ‘Soul Butterfly’ was found there . ”
The auction continued .
Valley of Souls .
It was one of several forbidden places in the Demon World . Many spirits didn’t come back after entering it . Rather, spirit bodies received larger damage the closer they got to it . A huge sacrifice was made for the successful expedition .
A lot of effort had been poured into this auction .
‘Adonis . He is in a hurry . ’
The Dark Spirit King . His mind was clearly in a hurry after the other spirit kings sent spies . He wanted to ‘grow’ as much as possible . The Spirit World might seem calm, but he was thinking about how to achieve such things .
‘Soul Butterfly . ’
It wasn’t a small change .
There was a black shape that looked like a butterfly flying . A butterfly that could move around the Valley of Souls without being affected .
“Do you see it? This beautiful shape! Soul Butterfly can detect and defend against external harmful magic power . So it can freely move in the Valley of Souls . Just giving it to someone is enough to change their magic power . If your intelligence is low then it is essential that you buy this . ”
It could be the difference between receiving uncontrollable damage in an abnormal state or not . It would be worth a lot of points if the defense was perfect . However, I could confirm the effects using Mind’s Eye .
-Name – Soul Butterfly
Description: A rare butterfly found in the Valley of Souls . Born in the air . * An abnormal state will be reduced by 10% . *** Can be combined with a weapon . |
The hidden option drew my eyes .
‘It can show an effect when combined with something . ’
It wasn’t bad . It wasn’t bad but it was a little bit shabby when compared to the claims .
Dubolong’s smile widened .
“This is not the end . Do you know what was sleeping in the Valley of Souls that we obtained thanks to the butterfly? Surprisingly, a 30 year old death knight without an owner was discovered in the valley . ”
Advanced 3Lv creature . Just buying it in the store required 150,000 points!
The 30 year death knight soullessly walked in . Its magic power reached out around it . Due to the nature of the death knight, it became stronger as more days passed . The 30 year one was very different .
They could expect an immediate rise in power after purchasing it .
'It is vague . ’
I touched my jaw .
The problem was the Soul Butterfly . The death knight had a definite price but I couldn’t measure the Soul Butterfly . The death knight would be worth between 1~1 . 5 million points . However, the price was likely to rise due to the Soul Butterfly .
In other words, it would become more expensive .
“The auction will start at 500,000 points . Don’t worry, the 30 year death knight is worth it . Perhaps some of the guests here have experience with death knights in the Demon World . How reassuring would it be? You will be able to make your enemies afraid!”
“500,000 . ”
"A bid from Duke Visach . 500,000!"
"700,000 . ”
"Duke Drikal-nim!”
“800,000 . ”
"Oh, Grand Duke Upa-nim has entered the competition!”
The competition was heating up . A death knight was a symbol of resistance among the nobility . It would be foolish to drive such a powerful knight to an enemy demon .
There was no way . The destructive power of the death knight was sure to appeal to many .
I worried about it for a short moment .
‘I want to purchase it for below 1 . 5 million . ’
I would abandon it if it became more than that . It wasn’t worth spending more points on the Soul Butterfly . I was likely to receive damages if I was too greedy . It was unlikely that things would be turned upside down .
Yet there were still many auction items remaining . And I didn’t have an infinite number of points .
“One million . ”
“Oh my god, Randalph-nim! You are participating three times in a row . Dubolong is expecting a lot from you!”
The atmosphere became chilly once again . First year, second year . . . now it was the third year . It was basically my solo show . At the same time, they realized that there was something ‘strange’ about me .
Pandemonium and Okullos knew to some extent but Ariel and Upa’s factions had to guess .
“Is there anyone else? This product is too good to pass up . ”
The time they spent thinking about it increased . They also couldn’t run wild .
They all saw it .
A high class creature, Mago . The death knight was incomparable to Mago . They didn’t know when she was coming out so there needed to be points in reserve .
“1 . 1 million . ”
“Hyu ~ Grand Duke Okullos-nim! Nice to see you . I hope you become the owner of the mighty death knight . ”
Dubolong made somewhat exaggerated gestures as he sighed with relief .
I frowned as I heard Okullos’ voice .
'Doesn’t Okullos hate death knights?’
I was sure because I had never seen Okullos use a death knight . He was a nature demon so he tended to avoid death knights who carried death around with them .
'Is he trying to make up for the minions he lost against the Cruel Commander?’
I didn’t think it was due to the Soul Butterfly . His skill ‘Pending Question’ wasn’t higher than Mind’s Eye .
I was curious . If he was only trying to fill the troops then he wouldn’t bid too much .
“1 . 2 million . ”
“Randalph-nim . . . you aren’t finished yet!”
“1 . 3 million . ”
“Okullos-nim!”
“1 . 4 million . ”
"It has gone back to Randalph-nim!”
“1 . 5 million . ”
"The boys and girls on the ceiling aren’t laughing . This means that he holds that many points! As expected for a grand duke!”
I turned my gaze towards him .
Okullos was staring at me . He wasn’t trying to fill up his troops . That look in his eyes . . . it seemed like he was showing off .
‘Showing off?’
1 . 5 million points already exceeded the average . He seemed to want to show off how many points he had!
His attitude seemed to be provoking me . I also felt a funny feeling like something was stabbing my chest .
I quickly opened Mind’s Eye . I needed to suddenly check . I was going to find out if a change occurred in Okullos .
-‘Mind’s Eye (Ex U) has been read by ‘Eyes of the World (Epic) . ’ Defended against 20%!
-Intelligence calibration (93)! But the magic power of the opponent is too high . It is inadequate . Defended against 23%! -The defense has failed . Be careful! ‘Eyes of the World (Epic) has reflected back ‘Mind’s Eye (Ex U) . Randalph Brigsiel’s details will be revealed to Okullos . |
I felt dizzy . Countless numbers were rising in front of my eyes . Several numbers came out of my body .
The surrounding demons showed no reaction . The phenomenon seemed to be only visible to me .
But that didn’t matter right now . I was deeply panicked .
…Was it revealed?
Okullos smiled, revealed his teeth . His expression seemed to say ‘I know all about it . ’ At the same time, he made a ‘hoh!’ sound of admiration .
'He led me to this . ’
This was the reason for the 1 . 5 million points .
He showed that attitude to me . It was so that I would use Mind’s Eye on him .
I never imagined that this would happen . Many things had changed due to my actions, but this was entirely unexpected .
My eyes narrowed .
'Eyes of the World . It is probably an evolution of Pending Question . But . . . I didn’t see that skill in my previous life . How did he manage to evolve it to epic grade in such a short time?’
I clenched my fists as sweat flowed . My saliva dried up .
Originally Okullos didn’t have the skill Eyes of the World . It was the same in my previous life . This meant the big change was due to me .
But it was still unusual . Raising a skill from unique to epic in only a few months? That wasn’t possible even for me .
My heart started running wild . He could see a lot if he saw my status window . He could also infer a lot more .
“The Soul Butterfly and Death Knight have been sold to Okullos! Congratulations! You won’t regret it . ”
Dubolong’s voice was heard .
I could only stare at Okullos .
‘…It isn’t over . ’
Eyes of the World seem to read and reflect the opponent’s skill . But the water had already been spilled . I had to admit it .
I couldn’t stay quiet . I needed to deal with this .
My mind was complicated .
