Rage scowled slightly as he glanced at the black cage that was imprisoning him. The dagger in his hand moved at breakneck speed.The blade tore open the ground below and raised a cloud of dust in the process.But when it hit the dark cage, it seemed to be gobbled up. It barely made a sound."Don't squander your time. The Hell Cage is an A-rank formation. Although we can't kill you, we can still trap you while we flee." The First Elder stated triumphantly."Because your Young Master planned this, he can't blame us for what unfolds afterwards. We're going to Cloud City right now to spread the word. We'll show everyone the true face of that tyrant, and we'll demolish Alheim's burgeoning reputation!""You're right, we're going to uncover all of his crimes." Through clenched teeth, The Second Elder uttered.They had received a promise from that scoundrel that he would accept them into the Alheim family and assist them in breaking through.But now he had broken his promise and wished to kil
The Count of Vermillion City did not appear to be that old.But, if the system is correct, he was 186 years old.And his strength was... average.I'm not sure how he dared to reveal his face in public after nearly two centuries yet only attaining the seventh circle.So, I understand. I can't condemn them because not everyone had a system like mine.Those Brightwing Academy students were all under the age of 20, and the majority of them had already attained the A-rank.It simply goes to show that the younger generation is getting better and better, and it will eventually overtake the older generation....South Of Brightwing Empire.A group of individuals had just emerged from a dungeon's gate.This was an everyday occurrence. After all, it was usual for people to enter the dungeon in search of treasures.This time, however, things were different."That was very close. I can't believe the first time we entered this dungeon, we almost got eaten.""That was anticipated...hufff... Just gi
Solan took a keen interest in the ice core.She had spent so much time inside the dungeon, yet this was the first time she had heard of a core that could give a person an element."Master, why haven't we encountered such a core or a creature that drops such a core?"I squinted.One could argue that only I had access to the dungeon's deeper levels, yet despite this, I never obtained a core that offered the same advantages as the ice core.I had the same thought. "Let's ask Wise after the auction.""The ice core is very mysterious, Master. It enables anyone to obtain an ice element and even advance to the B-rank. I have a feeling that none of the auction items will be simple. And I believe we should be capable of obtaining it.""Ah, a core to go to B-rank."I was dumbfounded as I considered how much effort and peril I had gone through in the past to achieve the B-rank, whereas the mere core of a monster might change one's destiny."Ice Core bidding begins at 50,000. Every bid must be a
"They had better not try any shenanigans. I'm not afraid of destroying this city, let alone an auction."Solan wrung her head in frustration."With this lineup, Master, you'll have no choice but to stay low. Haha. "Anyway, I concurred.This auction was jam-packed with folks I don't want to clash with. I wasn't afraid of anyone, but I don't want to go up against an entire clan, much alone many families."Master, take it easy. A reputable auction company will not play us like that, otherwise, they would lose credibility if news gets out.""Ok. Let us now wait.""The Elven Crown has a starting price of 100,000 gold. Every bid must be greater than 10,000 gold."It was proclaimed by the Count.They were well aware of the specific valuations of the goods as well as they were a well-known auction house."Two hundred thousand gold."As soon as he finished speaking, someone from the first-class stand began bidding and added a hundred thousand.The auction was deafeningly quiet.After all, the
The bid had reached a total of twenty million gold coins. Even the top brass had given up by this point.The imperial's first-class chamber was deafeningly quiet."Never mind, it's just a somewhat exceptional weapon after all, and it can only substantially expand its power once who knows how many lives have been taken.""This weapon is only beneficial to people who live in the dungeons or despicable murderers. Instead, we'll save our money and get a Disasterranked blade.""Who knows if this blade may cause problems? Then we could easily take action and confiscate this sword. After all, it is providing justice for those who have been murdered by the blade."The Imperials were no longer interested in the Devouring Blade.The Devouring Blade was eventually purchased by the Ironwing Ducal House for a total of 23 million gold coins."I never imagined that such a terrible and vicious weapon would be sought after and sold at such a high price after being reforged."I couldn't stop sighing.I
The auction for the Stele of Future Past has begun."Four hundred thousand gold coins.""Four hundred and fifty thousand gold coins."This stele did not capture the attention of many people.By the time all was said and done, it was only a stele. It could be a legendary treasure, endowing the holder with the ability to shake the sky. It could possibly be nothing more than a useless bit of stone."System, do you recognize the value of this stele?""..." The system was deafeningly quiet."If I want to get this, I have to offend some significant individuals here."I thought I heard the system sigh right then and there. Then again, I thought it might have simply been in my head."The host is now in the third circle.""The host can reach the fifth circle in three months after using the stele.""What? Do you mean that this stele will provide me with experience?""Yes."I think I'm out of options. I was prepared to sweep the entire third floor of the dungeon only to get to the fourth circle.
[Blade of Seven Seas-Disaster Rank][Ancient Disaster-ranked sword forged from the corpses of World Turtle, an extinct epic creature species. This enormous sea creature resembles a sea turtle, with a carapace so massive that travellers mistook it for an island. The sailors would then fall on its back, where the beast would overturn and devour them with its massive beak.][The Blade is capable of evolving.]"An Epic Rank Monster that is Extinct?""That is an intriguing subject. I'm curious what was so horrific that it drove an entire species of creatures capable of reaching epic rank extinct.""Unfortunately, I don't have somebody with whom I could discuss such matters.""You make people uncomfortable, Master. You're talking to yourself once more.""You won't get it, Solan. You are still in the dark about such significant issues. The less you know about it, the better." I expressed myself solemnly."Master, why do you always act as though something is immensely complicated and dangerou
A white-clothed youth with a breathtaking radiance emerged from the second-class compartment.He then carefully moved his gaze to the first-class compartment, where the Imperials were seated."Princess, Please accept my apologies for having taken this thing.""It's ok, Mister Hellif. Since Mister Hellif has done so, it must be of paramount importance." The Princess replied gently once again from the First Class chamber.Hellif nodded calmly, but his next words caught everyone's attention: "I wonder how the heroes are doing?"Princess Arika smirked. This was not the place for them to discuss anything related to the heroes. Nevertheless, even if it were, she couldn't access it.Even among the Imperials, her sister, Princess Ladia, was the only one who could speak of the heroes."Please accept my apologies, Hellif. But you are well aware that I do not have access to such knowledge, and even if I did, I am just not required to speak about it."Her usually sweet voice had taken on a faint
