Dungeon Hunter (던전사냥꾼)

Chapter 20: Creature Showdown

The auction ended when my remaining points reached 2 million. I had close to 7 million points in reserve so I had used 5 million in this auction.

Thanks to that, I had shoveled up a substantial amount of goods.

Astral Code, Statue of Abundance, Tear of the Moon, Smile of the Sun, Sage's Leap, Earth Dragon's Body, Sloth and five other items.

The demons showed different responses after I successfully bid for 12 items. Shock. Intense curiosity. Hostility. Irritation. Of course, none of the demons felt good.

The auction was a competition. But they couldn't compete successfully due to my presence.

I appeared out of nowhere and caused havoc. I had an overwhelming number of points that no one could resist. Their hope to obtain a number of coveted items and creatures ended the moment I showed an intention to bid. It wasn't a situation where they could beat me in points.

Randalph Brigsiel became a prominent figure in their minds. The demons that missed out on the items felt resentment and cursed my name.

'Fortunately I gained a large amount of points.'

I smiled.

I couldn't be dismissed.

In reality, most of the demons would think like that.

I had a high class creature like Gigantes and provoked Ariel. I had successfully engraved my image, unlike the 1st year.

I showed my power and influence to the other demons in my 2nd year. In the 3rd year, 4th year...as the auctions gradually progressed, my influence would spread.

The demons couldn't easily feel a sense of crisis and would wait to act.

But little by little, their mistakes would start to stack up. Things would go wrong. Mistakes would be made. Before long, the action that I started in the 1st auction would snowball out of control.

In short, I was at the point where the snowball had started rolling. It depended on how far my capabilities could grow. The difference between eating them all at once or spreading it out. So far I was quite successful.

Anyway...the auction featuring 100 different items was over.

But still, the Demon World Auction wasn't over.

There were many goods that didn't receive bids in the auction. There were also previous items insufficient for the auction.

Those things were gathered like rubbish at the market. The quantity amounted to hundreds of items.

The display on the outskirts of the castle caught the eyes of the demons. This was a public place where they could purchase 'free' things.

"Buinorong's Fork! A famous fork that was stabbed into a dragon's eye!"

"Selling a bouquet of Sellener flowers that emit a strong poison."

"Selling 50 orcs from the hard stone environment!"

The salespeople were obviously the dark spirits. But they weren't on the same level as Dubolong.

It was all workers gathered here.

It was unlikely that I would be able to find items that matched the auction. At best, they were the rare grade. There were also some very good intermediate creatures.

At first, the demons were interested but that waned. Unlike the auction hall, there were no checks to hold back the invisible tension between factions.

The rules prohibited direct battle.

So they had to rely on the creatures that accompanied them.
