2024-10-29 19:42:56Realistically, Luke knew that the six items he was looking to get wouldn't be the only items in the auction, but he still found himself tapping his foot with his arms crossed as he waited impatiently for the items to appear. That wasn't to say the other items weren't good, they just weren't up to par for what he was looking for. After several items had been auctioned off, he finally saw the first item on his list.
A simple looking sword was wheeled up to the stage as the announcer said, "Here we have Soulflare, a weapon that used to belong to a hero from long ago. It was bestowed upon him by the angels before becoming lost after his death. It's with great luck that we managed to get our hands on this item. We will start the bidding at 10 gold."
Immediately, people started bidding. They will most likely keep it for decoration if they didn't end up using it themselves. Of course, the chances of someone being able to use it if they were not a hero were low. The natives co

A circular stone was set on the stage. There didn't seem to be anything special about it. For all intents and purposes, it looked like a regular stone. Luke could feel 'Kayla' and Grace shift in their seats. 'Kayla' was understandable as this was another angelic weapon, but he didn't understand why Grace would react the same way."This mysterious stone was once worshiped by a group of cultists who claimed that it was a gift from the heavens that was bestowed upon the Saintess at the time," said the announcer as several people gasped in awe.Luke hadn't known about that fact. He knew it was an angelic weapon, but he hadn't realized it had been used by a previous Saintess. If that was the case, then he knew who he should give the item to after he won the bid."We are uncertain of what it is exactly or what it does, but it must certainly be valuable. Who here is willing to try to uncover its secrets? We will start the bidding at 20 gold," the announcer said.

His hopes were dashed when he saw her hand shoot into the air as soon as the announcer started the bid. He tried to grab her attention to tell her to stop, but she ignored him and kept on bidding on the item. If she wasn't going to stop, then he wasn't going to give her the money to buy it. She was all on her own. At least, that was his intention until he saw the item description.[Item Information][Dreamsong][Trinket of Grace][Godly][Mana +500][A trinket blessed by angels and embedded with the power of a Saintess.][It protects its wielder from all status effects and increases luck.][It also saves the wielder from death just once.]What was this? How come he hadn't heard about this item in his

At least that was what Luke thought, but he couldn't shake the strange feeling he got when he stared at her. It felt like he somehow knew her, but that wasn't possible. In his previous life, he very rarely interacted with the natives, and someone who would dare break into a black market would have been memorable to him. Then why wouldn't the feeling go away.[Luke, you should save her.]The sudden message blocking his view startled him, but he was lucky that no one was paying him any mind with what was happening on stage. Taking the time to read the message, he couldn't understand why the demon king would want him to save some stranger. Was she someone the demon king knew? If he could feel the previous demon king's emotions, that would explain why he felt like he recognized her, which was an unpleasant thought. He didn't want to be influenced by someone else's emotions."Why?" he whispered, just in case someone noticed him talking to thin air. When the demon kin

"Why don't we put it up for a vote?" the announcer suggested. "If you wish to see her fight unarmed, raise your hand. Keep your hands down if you want her to be given a weapon."Luke scoffed. So the man was taking the coward's way out. He didn't want to disappoint the audience, as it was his job to entertain them, but he also didn't want to take responsibility if something went wrong. Now he was trying to push the responsibility onto the audience so he wouldn't be blamed. Well, it didn't matter to him as long as people chose to keep their hands down.Several people had raised their hands, obviously wanting to see her brutally killed. They were either part of the group that didn't want to see a fight and only wanted to see blood spilled, or they were part of the group that wanted to see her severely disadvantaged. Fortunately, the majority was on his side, probably thinking that the outcome was too obvious. There was no way she could have won against the goblin with just her bare hands
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 79: Laurel Shields VS Goblin (2)
The cheers and jeers drowned out most of the noises coming from the cage, which made it even more difficult for him to determine how well the fight was going. It was bad enough that they were so far away that they could only barely make out what was happening. He wished they had front row seats so he could get a better idea of how strong she was. Well, he could sort of make out some things despite all these issues.Luke could definitely see that she was just as nimble as he expected her to be with the way she kept dodging the goblin's attempts at hitting her. Even with her handicap, her skill shone through. She had yet to make a counterattack as she was probably trying to determine the best way to fight the goblin while preserving her strength for what was to come next, which was smart. The people in charge of the event would probably do something to ensure she wouldn't leave the place alive.Of course, he already had something to find to handle that. He still had the

Laurel frowned as she felt someone's glare piercing into her back. As a thief and someone who spent time around demons, she knew how to differentiate between the different kinds of glares people had. There were the I'm annoyed with you, the I'm going to kill you, and the I'm going to beat some sense into you among the few she could name. This one, however, felt like a mix of the first and third. The former made sense since these people wanted to see her dead, but the latter wasn't one she expected.She considered the possibility that one of the other harem members was here. The fact they didn't come to her aid would mean they wanted to see her take a beating or wanted to get rid of her. Of course she could be wrong, and they weren't here. She could just be imagining things, but she could still feel the glare. When she got out of this mess, she was going to hunt down the person and figure out what their deal was.At least the goblin thought she was dead, giving her time

The announcer declared, "To make up for this oversight, we will allow you to decide her fate."People immediately started to discuss different ways to torment her. 'Kayla' grimaced in disgust at all the crude things coming out of the audience's mouth, while Grace shuddered and curled in on herself. Luke, on the other hand, had hoped for this very scenario, but it looked like he underestimated just how bloodthirsty the audience was. Many of them wanted to see how long she would last against the staff or how long she could endure torture before she broke.That wasn't his goal. He needed to save her and somehow convince her that they were on the same side. Unfortunately, he doubted she could do that latter easily and within the black market. He would need to transport her to a safer location before revealing just enough to convince her to trust him.As he was about to shout out his suggestion, someone else beat him to it. "Why not keep her as a pet? She would make

The rest of the auction ended up mellowing out after the stunt they pulled. It was almost anticlimactic for the auction to simply end after all the items had been sold. Unfortunately, he had been unable to get his hands on the last items on his list despite his best efforts. Peacesong, the Restored Sphere, and Glimmer, Crystal of the Victor, ended up in the hands of others, and he could only grit his teeth at their loss. It didn't help that he read the item descriptions to see exactly what he lost out on.[Item Information][Peacesong][Mythic][A golden harp that once belonged to the angel Seraphina. It has lost a good chunk of its power since it has been lost in the mortal world, but its music remains heavenly.][Every time you play it, those that listen to it receive a temporary boost to all stats depending

Author's Note
Hello everyone. I just want to thank all my readers who have been following along so long. Luke's story has ended unless readers are interested in a sequel. Also, there are several things that I want to let you know. I have some news for all of you. In case some of you didn't know, I hd started a new book titled Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race which can be found here: https://www.meganovel.com/story/Rise-of-the-Demon-King-Caleb-Gonzales-s-Rat-Race_31000555550. It's set in the same world as my current book. It's kind of a prequel to Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge, but you can read it as a parallel or alternate universe if you like. As such, you might see some of the same characters who act differently from what you remember so I hope there's no confusion. For those interested to know more about the new book, here's the synopsis: When Caleb Gonzales woke up in the video game he last played, he expected things to go down like they did in those web

Chapter 389: The End
"The clean up is doing well," 'Kayla' said as she stood before Luke, who was sitting on the throne.Instead of responding to her, he gave a nod before looking to the next person. The corners of his mouth twitched as he wanted to frown. The previous demon king's women were staring at him, waiting patiently for him to finish his work. He didn't know what Mildred said to them, but they were all now convinced that they should try to seduce him.[They are strong women, so you shouldn't have any complaints about adding them to your harem.]Luke was unamused by the demon king's words. He knew very well that Luke hadn't been interested in building a harem. It was really bad enough that he had four women to contend with. Speaking of them, the quartet came walking into the throne room, with Grace taking the lead. She was looking well despite having only recovered yesterday."Luke, are you still in your meeting?" she asked as Tracy, Violet, and Ruth kept to her sides.Standing up, Luke said, "It'

Everyone stared in disbelief. How were they supposed to react to this sudden reveal? They had expected it to be a big deal because of the system's threat, but this was way behind anything they could have imagined. Luke distracted himself from the implications to assess everyone's reactions. Chris's mouth had dropped open while Bobby looked ill.Violet, on the other hand, was doing a good job keeping herself together, though it was just barely. Her fists were clenched, with her nails digging into her palm. Theodore was the only odd one out. He was quickly shocked by the information, but he appeared to be the calmest of the bunch. Luke couldn't decide if that was a good or bad thing as he returned his attention back to the system.Chris ended up being the first to break the silence. "You can't be serious."[The system assures the user that it is quite serious.][The users should confirm their desire as soon as possible. There are only five open spaces.]The party had barely recovered fr

Chapter 387: To Go Home or To Stay (1)
Luke couldn't believe it. The creator had actually been telling the truth when they said they could go home if they did enough to entertain them. He should be happy, but he was strangely numb about the reward. Perhaps it was because he had become used to the idea that he would never see his family again. That was why hearing the contrary left him with conflicted feelings."We can go home," Chris said in awe.A quick look at his party members was enough to tell Luke how overjoyed they were at the idea. After Luke had told them it was impossible, they had been resigned to never return back to their family and friends. It was why they had so willingly joined his side and turned their backs on the angels. However, a part of them had hoped that Luke was wrong."I wonder how everyone's been doing," Bobby said.Chris wrapped his arms around him and said, "I can't wait to see everyone."Violet had a soft smile, while Theodore only grunted. It should be a happy moment, but Luke was too used to

It couldn't understand what was happening. The creator could feel itself being torn away from its vessel against its will. This couldn't be happening. It was the creator. Everything went exactly as it wanted. There was no way it could lose to a human that had been originally brought into this world as nothing more than a tool. However, despite its efforts, it was being forced out by the sword in its chest.What was it? It couldn't be an ordinary weapon. Even when it was being injured, it had only been because the creator allowed it. Otherwise, the people wouldn't be able to actually harm it. Reaching out towards Luke and the sword again, it felt the sword pulse. Suddenly, the creator found its unable to move. An invisible force was keeping it from moving.The creator couldn't believe it. Such a thing had never happened before. The only possible reason that the creator could think of was that the sword contained a fragment of its power. However, that couldn't be it.

The creator's eyes rolled upward, and he spotted Takisha standing on its neck. Takisha didn't waste a second to bite her teeth in the creator's throat. She grimaced at the vile taste filling her mouth. Considering this was supposed to be the creator possessing a human, she would have thought the blood would taste delicious. Instead, it was probably the most disgusting blood she had ever tasted.Takisha wasn't even sure it was blood. Dirt tasted better than this. However, she focused on injecting her venom into the creator. A shadow loomed over her as the creator raised a hand to rush her. She didn't immediately run, and her faith was rewarded when vines and thorns wrapped around the creator's hand. Blood spilled from where the thorns pierced its skin.Of course, this wasn't enough to stop it for long. The creator ripped free, but its attention had been successfully redirected to Mildred, who unleased several arrows in its direction before running. It deflected them and rushed to crush

"You idiot," Tracy said as she punched Chris in the face."Ow! What was that for?" Chris demanded as he covered his face with a hand."That's for acting like an idiot," she snapped.Luke, Mildred, and Bobby stared at the bickering duo before Mildred turned to Luke and asked, "Are they...""No," Luke and Bobby immediately said.She glanced back at the duo and said, "Really?""They might act this way, but I assure you that Chris isn't her type," Bobby said as he waved a hand in front of himself. "She's already in a relationship with Luke.""I see," Mildred said. "It seems like I have competition."Bobby choked and Luke froze up as the duo finally stopped fighting and Tracy asked, "Wh

The creator was beginning to grow bored. Luke had disappeared off to who knew where, leaving them to deal with the rabble. None of them stood a chance against them. Of course, Luke being there wouldn't have changed much either, but this was supposed to be a game between them. If he wasn't there, then what was the point?They were debating whether they should cut the game short and simply end things when they heard a familiar voice shout, "Move!"Instantly, the creator raised a clawed hand to catch the arrow that had been shot in their direction. Their eyes spotted a familiar dark elf notching another arrow into her bow. So it looked like Luke had rescued the women that they had knocked out. They could have simply killed them and been done with it, but the creator had ultimately decided not to bother.Who would have expected that Luke would go rescue the

"What's this?" Luke muttered as he stared at the emergency quest.Luke never expected the system itself to give out a quest to defeat the creator. He would have thought it would be on their side since it was created by the system. Perhaps it saw the creator as a threat and wanted them to be dealt with. It sent shivers down his spine to see the quest, and he looked up to see that the others in the room were also reading a message from the system."Did you also receive the same quest as me?" he asked, though he already knew the answer."What's this nonsense?" demanded the succubus. "Defeat the creator? I've never heard such a thing.""There has to be a mistake," the dark elf said as she crossed her arms. "Why would we fight against our creator?"Laurel looked towards Luke and demanded,
