I had only shifted my gaze away for a split second when I felt the blast of energy caused by the clash of two tremendous auras.The Sui and Gui patriarchs would not be careless. Despite the fact that there were two of them, the enemy had achieved the pinnacle of the A-rank 7th circle. They both attacked Viscount Frigg at the same time."Protect our home!"The First Elder yelled at the guys behind him and led the charge out.The people of the three enormous families then participated in a bloody war.Despite their bravery, the members of the Cloudmantle family were ultimately overwhelmed. They were thrown into a corner by the Sui and Gui families' simultaneous attack.The Cloudmantle family could not gain an advantage even when Frigg was still restraining the Sui and Gui patriarchs. As the confrontation progressed, he was gradually unable to keep up with the depletion of his physical power due to his older age.A portion of the Cloudmantle family was destroyed in this conflict. This wa
The Cloudmantle family were as good as finished.The Cloudmantle clan's high-level combatants had all been defeated, and it was difficult for anybody else to bear the load."The two of you, the Cloudmantle family, will belong to me from now on," I turned around and stated to the Gui and Sui patriarchs. " Do you two intend to wage war or coexist peacefully?"Perhaps the patriarchs might have hesitated if it had been earlier, but seeing Solan flying through the air, they instantly swallowed their saliva. They had a sneaking suspicion that the woman in front of them was considerably more terrifying than she seemed."Young Master, you've got to be kidding.""We ought to look out for one another because the Cloudmantle clan is now your own.""Yes, yes, and yes. We live right next door. Harmony breeds prosperity," remarked the Gui patriarch, his tongue glib. "All right, get your men to clean this place up," I told them both. Actually, I had urged Solan to stop her illusion and was waiting
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.
