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.

    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.

    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

    ‘It’s so booooorriiiiiiiiiingggg!’I was bored out of my mind surveying the edge of the dome for enemies. It was practically a ghost town at this point. And the only thing that used to be interesting was the notifications I kept receiving from my shadows about catching bombers. So far, we found three dozen pairs of people planting the bombs.It was shocking how many people had been coerced into doing this. And I still hadn’t tracked down an actual member from the invaders. What if the invaders actually weren’t coming? What if the princess was lying about this entire thing for a completely different reason?‘This princess is giving me a headache.’‘I know right? It’s like talking to a brick wall.’‘A-An overly in-intelligent one.’‘Hey guys!’‘Ah!?’‘New guy?’‘I-I have a j-junior now?’‘What will we call him?’‘Call me Hyakkiyago.’He told us out of nowhere.

    NANEK POVThe prince looked at the meal set before him. Skewered tentacles, seaweed wraps, jagged oyster shells, lunaris and so on, all in bountiful amounts. He felt like gagging from the mere scent of the food. Nanek never liked such food, and as such this was strictly removed from the meals his siblings served him regularly.This event was different. It was before the entire city and it was a meal that the goddess had chosen for this year’s feast. Him not eating it was an insult to the goddess and would make the people think less of him.He looked at his mother, the priestess, sitting blindly next to the king and being fed her meal by some of her personal assistants. She had no concern whatsoever when it came to this and he found it terrifying, since he had been told by the older generation that she hated these kinds of meals.Several years in service to the goddess must have changed her. Maybe if he spent several years trying to overcome his distaste for the meal, he would overcome

To be honest, she wasn’t expecting the princess to tell her what her final plans were, but after hearing them, she was completely stunned. For the princess to have planned all of this for just that, it was beyond her imagination.However, for something like that, she knew her father would give up his life in a heartbeat. At least, she could rest easy knowing that he died for a cause he had been fighting for all his life. Still, it hurt that she couldn’t even see his corpse even though it was delivered to them. Did they think she was so weak that she’d break down from seeing the body?She had definitely seen worse, so why wouldn’t they let her? Was this the royalty’s way of showing consideration to the Captain of the Royal Guard’s kin? If so, the royals really had no idea what people actually wanted in such situation.While swimming, a stray guppy came in front of her. Sh

    King Zigruk ElrIek Sox Anon Den Yorul II waved at the people who were gazing at him admirably from outside the hall. After a considerable amount of praise appreciation and greeting, he sat down on his seat and dropped his trident.The trident floated by itself at his side. Strange enough, this weird sight was ignored by most of the onlookers. All of them except the candidates for the throne that knew the true value of the trident, all of them shocked by how carelessly their father handled it. Then again, if you were built just like the Zigruk Elriek Sox Anon Den Yorull II, you wouldn’t think too much of the trident.Once again, trumpets sounded thunderously, drawing the attention of everyone to the overly massive ship that was approaching them.

    OSVETA POVThe feast hall, the biggest part of the royal palace that went unused for many years till there was an important ceremony taking place. It was so large it could take in half the number of royal family members that lived. And that was saying much given the fact that there were over a thousand of them with each being at least three times as big as the average merman.The hall was a space next to the palace grounds shrouded in hardened Atlantean styled glass to prevent any peaking or breaking. Due to the occasion, the styled glass had been removed, revealing a large beautiful platform with a marble table in a U-shape set down. The table was big enough to occupy at the very least 20 members of the Royal family.However, today, only four members sat on opposite ends, with two extra, grander seats, being reserved for the most important guests.

    On the day of the Royal Feast, in the princess’ quarters, several mermaids about her size were attending to her. Brushing her hair, applying make-up, and carefully fixing ornaments in her hair. She was dressed in the most elegant lilac-coloured chiton that had silver lacings on it and a triangular pattern over at the bottom over her tail. Over her left hand, her peplos that was a whitish-blue with a similar design, but more transparent. The peplos also managed to serve as a sort of hood for her head.As the princess observed her features in the mirror, she couldn’t help but think along the likes of,‘Would Hiro like this appearance?’‘Maybe it’s too much make up for his taste?’‘Is this even enough to cover my blemishes?’Of course, Hiro was not going to be partaking in this event. In fact, he wouldn’t even know that it was happening and neither would he know about it.

    The hell did I just hear? Did she just confirm that she was the mastermind? No way, right? There was definitely no way that she did it, right? No.I couldn’t doubt the possibility of her having done that. Knowing her, it was highly likely. And from what Sunalla said, the princess didn’t like it when things happened out of her control. A surprise invasion from an enemy nation definitely doesn’t sound like having everything under her control.Still, for her to go this far just for the throne. She was the worst kind of person. They’d do anything to achieve their goal, even if it negatively affected those looking up to her for support. She was worse than scum.I had several things to tell the princess, but no one else in the room heard our conversation. The princess simply said vague things in their eyes and ears. Maybe Sunalla and Osveta would believe that princess did something like that.The problem was if they gave a shit. They’d known her for sometime now so it was possible that they

    That was completely sudden and out of nowhere for me. I never imagined to hear such a thing, least of all from an old man in a city that was thousands of feet underwater. Of course, after hearing such a thing I was intrigued in finding out more, but he kicked me out with the promise of trying to find a way to Minerva for me. He stole more strands of my hair though. Turns out he didn’t need the first strand for anything. He simply wanted it for his private reasons… creepy pervert.On the way back, I could tell that the princess was beaming with excitement. I asked why, but she told me not to think too much about it. In times like this, it was really annoying not being able to read her mind. The only solution was to keep pressuring her till she spoke, but she was tight lipped. In the end, I decided to ask if she knew about Vermillion.According to her, there wasn’t any concrete text about Vermillion, but her father had once told her that there was an individual named Vermillion who came
