Dungeon Hunter (던전사냥꾼)

Chapter 50: Demon World Auction ( 5th Year )

If my memory was clear, there was three months left until the 5th Demon World Auction. I skipped the 4th one due to the Underground World, so I needed to establish a strategy.

'The 3rd Demon World Auction is when it fully started.'

Mago appeared, causing the atmosphere to change.

I didn't know what came out in the 4th year. There was the titan but that wouldn't be all. There would be instruments of power that could reverse the situation.

It was different from my previous life. The speed was rapidly increasing. I had no recollection of such speed in my previous life. The demons who suffered in the 3rd and 4th Demon World Auctions were more likely to bid higher this year.

The angels appeared and Okullos had died. They started to sweep the land in earnest. All the hidden cards...

They were likely to be found at the Demon World Auction.

'The demons in Okullos' faction. I don't know what happened to them.'

Okullos was dead for sure. But I didn't know what happened to the demons in his faction. There was a chance they survived, but there would obviously be an impact.

And if they were alive...I couldn't rule out the possibility of them being absorbed into the other factions. I had to make plans with all that in mind.

'In many ways, this will be the basis for the 5th year.'

Drastic changes. There was no reason to be stuck in the dungeon. Those who progressed slowly would be eaten right away.

At this moment, Pandemonium was raising and killing Awakened. The collected points would be used to reinforce the dungeon as well as for the Demon World Auction. I didn't know what strategy Ariel and Upa had set up.

'There are certainly variables. If I don't want to be shaken by the variables, something unique is required.'

In fact, everything around me was a variable. Right now, I needed to remain low key and create my weapons.

'Points alone isn't enough.'

The time to use points to make my presence known was gone. Although I still held an enormous amount of points for an individual, it would be difficult to exert influence over the factions like before.

I needed something else. I had to make them nervous about my presence once again.

'I will make changes.'

I nodded. The answer itself was simple. If it wasn't what I desired then I would overturn the plate and try again.

The problem was actually overturning the plate.

'Dubolong...'

I clicked my tongue.

If I could contact Dubolong then it wouldn't be difficult. Besides, the Spirit World thought I was dead. I needed to contact them at least once. Their permission was required to access the Demon World Auction.

However, getting to the Spirit World was another problem. There was no way I could get in contact with Dubolong here. If I wanted to go there...

'I have to open a crack.'

There were still many unclear parts about the cracks. There was no guarantee that the other side would be where I wanted to go. But I had the token that Dubolong gave me. The small stone was insufficient. I needed to open the crack in order to get the communication working. There was no need to cross the crack directly.

The crack was a type of circuit. It would allow me to open the line of communication with Dubolong.

At that time, a name popped into my head.
