Dungeon Hunter Chapter 114:
Chapter 114: Demon World Auction (1)
“Y-Yihihi . Why are you looking at me all of a sudden? Aw ~ I feel hot . ”
Yihi waved her hand and feigned ignorance . But her rigid facial expression was different from her gestures .
"Tell me calmly . ”
"That . . . Yihi . . . was wrong . . . hiing . . . ”
Yihi flew and fell on both knees before me .
I would see through any excuses that she made .
Yihi, who was silent, finally spoke .
"That white guy . He brought the flesh . So wasn’t Yihi in charge? But he suddenly made me furious . Yihi didn’t mean to do it . ”
That white guy was White .
I heard the story in silence .
Yihi constantly moved her hand around as she explained . She had grabbed a piece of the Tree of Origin and stabbed it into the flesh . And Stein seemed to have picked the hardened flesh up afterwards . In other words, Stein accidentally picked up Infinite Flesh and turned him into the Infinity Armour .
"Yihi was really wrong . Yihi should have been careful until the end . Please forgive me Master . . . hiing . ”
She was much more sincere about apologizing than before .
I just continued looking at Yihi .
I often found it amazing how different her perspective was .
She had a careless nature . As well as being rough and playful, she was obsessive and faithful . So Yihi was very different from me . Creative . The power to produce something new .
I instinctively recognized her capabilities . No one else would have tried to stab the flesh with a branch of the Tree of Origin . Those who knew the true nature of the flesh would be afraid to even approach . Or maybe they would consider a normal procedure .
She also buried the angels near the Tree of Origin . I would have thrown the corpses away or fed them to the creatures . But thanks to Yihi burying them properly, a lot of Tashmal’s wariness had faded away . In addition, there were a few trivial things in her head .
‘She has been helpful without knowing it . ’
It could be a coincidence . However, it happened too many times to be dismissed as a coincidence .
Obviously, Yihi had sinned, but I didn’t know if scolding her was the right thing to do . If constraints were placed then her creative behaviour was likely to disappear .
Of course, Yihi wasn’t worried about this .
"Tell me your sins yourself . ”
First I would give her an option .
Yihi thought for a while before saying .
"I didn’t wait for Master . ”
"No . That isn’t a sin, I gave you that type of permission . ”
"Yihi left the flesh alone!”
“It is a dangerous existence that can’t be left alone . That is one sin but the greater sin still remains . ”
A great sin .
What was it?
Yihi’s expression was busy thinking . Then Yihi seemed to realize something and said .
“Hiing . . . I contacted Master late . ”
I nodded .
"That's right . You should have contacted me as soon as it happened . It is dangerous when I am far away . ”
"Now I see . Yihi was really bad . ”
Yihi sullenly said with tears in her eyes .
"If this case, your error was not contacting me quickly enough . You failed to do that so I will punish you . However, you will set the level of punishment . ”
"Yihi will?”
"Yes . "
Punishment and education at the same time . This was to find Yihi’s creativity . She would also acknowledge the mistake and not do it again .
I waited as Yihi contemplated for a while .
After 10 minutes, Yihi finally came to a decision and opened her eyes .
"I will be a bee for a month . A daughter of honey . I will have fun with the bees . Yihi will now go to the bees . ”
…Was this a joke?
'No, it isn’t . ’
It wasn’t a joke .
A red face . Trembling bodies . Her presence itself seemed to harass the bees .
I thought about handling her similar to the method with the dark elves in the past . Her idea was creative but it wasn’t really what I was thinking .
"One month is too long . The dungeon can’t be left alone during that time . ”
“Yihi’s punishment can’t be shorter . ”
"How about you spend the rest of the time helping Tashmal with the baby angels?”
The leaves of the Tree of Origin were a great help in growing the wings of the angels . I wondered what the effect would be if an Origin Fairy looked after the baby angels .
“I understand, Master . Leave it to Yihi . ”
"Then go imitate the bees . ”
"Ah, that's right . Yihi is now a bee . Wiiing ~”
Yihi flapped her wings very hard, trying her best to imitate the way a bee flew . She soon headed to the location of the bees .
“……”
I was at a loss for words .
I would check on her in a week .
* * *
There were too many things happening . Taking over the dungeon in China, the attack of the angels and the emergence of the Cruel Commander .
After three months, a note was sent through a dimensional crack .
The caller . . . was Dubolong .
‘It is the list of items for the Demon World Auction . ’
It had finally arrived .
I smiled as I read the list .
‘This year will be the turning point . ’
The contents of the note were great . I checked it a few times and knew what many of the items were .
The time would soon come to obtain the goods . I thought of the treasures that I would later obtain . . .
I would use this auction to get even further ahead, so it was turning point . Once left behind here, the other demons wouldn’t be able to catch up for the next five years .
In contrast . . . I would gain a myriad of benefits in the next five years .
Dubolong gave me the list due to our alliance .
“Haha!”
I laughed as I checked the number of points I had .
The Demon World Auction .
The points I had last year couldn’t even compare . This was important . It was to the extent that I wouldn’t run out of points no matter how many things I bought . The winner would be me .
At the same time, I would be painting a loser sign on the heads of the other demons . I couldn’t stop laughing as I imagined the look on Upa’s face .
Wouldn’t it be an emergency situation for him?
‘He won’t be able to stop me . ’
Anyway, it was a fact that I would be the winner . Even if he tried something . . .
‘I will greet him with a smile . ’
He would be used as a stimulus on the path ahead of me .
* * *
The crack was opened . The familiar gnome-shaped dark spirit welcomed me .
"It has been a while . "
"Kihihi . How are you?”
“It has been a decent year . What about the Spirit World?”
"It has been very busy . We’ve been trying to filter out the spies . . . ”
I knew about this problem . But I didn’t know about what occurred afterwards . I didn’t want people to know about my relationship with Dubolong, so I acted like I had just heard the story . I asked with mock curiosity .
"There are spies here?”
"Kihihi . It is ridiculous . The other elemental spirits disguised themselves as dark spirits to hassle us . Thanks to that, this auction will be very quiet . By the way . . . how many points have you gathered?”
"Aren’t you prohibited from directly asking?”
The dark spirit just laughed .
“Aigoo, I’m sorry . Please turn a deaf ear to it . It's just that the average number of points in the third year is very high . . . isn’t Randalph-nim our best customer? You will be a great help in increasing the average . . . ”
"How much?”
“Don’t be alarmed . 1 . 3 million!"
1 . 3 million .
I nodded lightly .
The demons were catching up .
There were 69 demons for a total of 89 . 7 million points . And . . . I had a 22 million share of that total .
In other words, it meant that the actual average was 1 million . I alone had raised the average by 300,000 .
In my previous life, that would be enough to buy two high class 2Lv creatures .
Of course, there would be a severe competition over the auction goods . In some cases, it would be used as the starting point for a war . So it was important to obtain high class creatures . High class creatures showed off the power of the dungeon .
They were hidden cards that could absolutely reverse the situation . The factions of the grand dukes were eager to buy top quality creatures . There would be creatures such as a hydra, dragon, etc .
'High class 2Lv creatures . ’
And . . . there would be those at the same level or higher than the griffin and gigantes in this auction .
I had clearly seen it with my own eyes . It was like Dubolong said last time . High class 2Lv creatures were now being bought in the third year . It was enough to shake the balance .
'I must buy them . ’
I needed to buy the treasures, no matter how many points I had to spend .
The dark spirit examined my expression and said .
"You don’t seem greatly surprised . ”
“I am surprised . ”
"Kihi, your ability to manage your expression is very great . ”
"Don't talk nonsense . We should start moving . ”
“I will guide you . Follow me!”
