We had to pay 1 gold coin each to even participate in the auction. Several soldiers of D and C rank were constantly patrolling the area or standing guard. The servants were moving about quickly and not being a bother to anyone. I even noticed that some statues and portraits had some weird sort of magic tool in them. According to the agent, it allowed the security to know if there was anything weird by sensing any change in mana, aura or heat of the participants. That was simply how high tier this thing was. I started to feel out of my depth here, but I calmed down. "That's strange… shouldn't there be a lot of people attending the auction?"I asked and Nukeme shrugged. "There have to be people who can actually buy the things going for the auction in the first place."Ignis said nonchalantly and walked over to the big man in a black suit wearing a mask. He handed over 4 gold coins and the man accepted the money with a gleeful expression, before giving Ignis two golden tickets.'W
Larm Forest, Wolf King's Cave"B-Boss… where are you going?"A wolf asked Shiroi as she took big heavy steps towards the portal in the center of the cave."What sort of question is that? The leader summons me. I must heed to her call."The black wolf looked at his sister from the corner of his eye. Before, those two were giants amongst the other wolves, but now, he couldn't even compare to her in terms of size. It was a surprising development he hadn't expected."If there wasn't a portal, were you going to run all the way to the city?""If it was necessary, I would have. And I am certain that if it is me, as I am now, it wouldn't take even half a day to do so. However…""Where does that lead to?""Wherever the leader is at the moment.""Si-"She glared at her younger brother, her violet eyes faintly glowing."Enough questions. I'm leaving."The wolf jumped through the portal and it closed up behind her. The black wolf sat up and looked at the spot where his sister once laid.'Maybe I'
Above Hellish Bite, Keimen City As I looked over the city, my mind was going through several things. Before I realized that since Yokino’s plan had come apart, there was no need for subtleties anymore. I would just go in there and take back Ulva. But to do that, I’d need to get help from the monsters in Larm, which they would need preparation for. [Hinotori: Gorm, Reiman, Ichi and the others. I need you to get the forces ready for an attack. I’ll teleport you guys here when you are done.] I sent this message to them and so it wouldn’t be long now till they saw and got off their butts. But before then, I would need to start something to minimize casualties on my side since I wasn’t really sure about this. "[Shadow Being Summoning]." A black substance dropped from my leg and formed a black ball beneath me. I found that to be odd since that wasn’t how the first time went. > ‘What?’ DING! [The Goddess of Endless Darkness
BOOM!The ground of the Hellish Bite restaurant collapsed under the pressure of the force coming from beneath. Luckily, there were no customers around at the moment, so no one was injured. The building on the other hand caved in as two auras burst out. Mist escaped from beneath as they clashed.Clashed? Yes. Two varying mists of different intensities clashed in a vicious manner. One mist so solid one might actually feel a punch from it and the other so soft one might find it a comfy pillow. However, the light one was obviously of a higher quantity than the solid.Two wolves formed from the solid mist, their purple eyes glaring about at the soft mist. Back-to-back, observing the mist and waiting for something. Anything. Then it came. One of them jumped into the blind and swiped.Surprisingly, it landed a strike on the tired Yokino who quickly receded to the cover of her mist.“Give it up Spider King. My mist wolves are too much for you.”Shiroi’s voice reverberated through the mist for
Yokino dropped from the roof top silently. She surveyed her surroundings to ensure that no one had noticed her. That is, no one but the person currently tailing her.“You can come out, you know? I’m not going to bite you or anything.”She said. There was no response.“Men like you are such a bore, you know? You probably don’t even have a woman at your side.”The ground crunched as someone approached her. To her side she noticed a man shrouded in the darkness with only a red light coming from his forehead. His features were too hidden to be made out for her, even though she possessed [Night Vision].“What are you doing in this city. It’s quite the journey to Larm.”The spider king’s lips curved upwards slightly.“I know right? But the thing is, I’m under orders from someone I believe you are familiar with. So It’d be best you don’t bother me while I’m enjoying my stay.”“Oh? Someone I’m familiar with? May I know who you speak of, then?”“Oh my. I wouldn’t dare speak the name of the Duc
"Go- erh, Shitsuke! We finish house!"One of the goblins called out. The hob-goblin general came running towards the goblins, then looked at what they had made. A bunch of sticks and leaves, bound by thick vines to create a tent of sorts."What is this? It doesn't even pass to be called a hut. You want our leader sleeping in that?"Gorm showed his open displeasure at the sight."I-it that, we don’ know build houses. This too hard!""Oh come on you lot. I gave you instructions.""We don’ read.""Ah, but..."While the goblinoids were arguing, a sprout of darkness emerged from where the tent was. At first, none noticed this, but then the sprout became a tentacle that erupted like a volcanic explosion, which blasted everything away from it.The goblins barley landed safely and were surprised by the massive building that appeared before them."We tell boss that magic destroy beautiful house we build?"One of the goblins suggested. All the others looked at him and nodded quickly.__________
I woke up to meet an unfamiliar ceiling. My head ached a tiny bit, and my body felt a bit better thanks to my natural regenerative abilities as an ogre. I expected to be in a cellar, but I was in a room, which was not mine as well.'D-did that human actually rape me!?'I found myself thinking.‘No you didn’t get raped. You were lucky that Kawaii stepped in before that could happen.’Another voice said to me. I hadn’t had the pleasure of going insane before, so this was kind of interesting.‘Yo! I see that you're awake.’I looked to the door where I noticed a presence. A bird with dark golden feathers with their tips dark and red eyes and a sort of red antenna on its head came towards me, with one of its wings up for a wave.It dragged a chair next to the bed. How it did that, I wasn’t certain, but it were almost as if it could move things with its mind alone. As it took a seat right next to me, I found myself unconsciously retreating from it.‘Remember me from yesterday? You were with
Day 31 Today was almost as hectic as yesterday. All the human guards who had accidentally been teleported into Larm with the mansion were stripped of all their armor and weapons. I wanted to let them out, but I realized that they could always come back and try something stupid, so I wanted to make them work here instead, Minerva and Goliath wanted to kill them instantly. Then we concluded on letting the slaves decide what happened to them. The slaves were hesitant at first, but they ended up beating the crap out of the humans before killing them. It was a bloody mob. All with the exception of one boy. Apparently he treated all the slaves with a friendly attitude, like they were equals, so the slaves didn’t feel it right to kill him. That didn’t mean that they wanted to associate with him though. Minerva and Goliath gave him the option to leave the forest, but he pleaded to stay with us. We were suspicious of him so we even used [Overlord] to find out if he had any other motive, but h
