Chapter 1289 Strength

Chapter 1289 Strength　　Everyone thought Theo would die since even the Conqueror couldn't do anything against the Slaughter.

However, the blood hand suddenly vanished into thin air as though it was erased from existence.

"What?!" All people dropped their jaws, staring at the disappearing hand in disbelief.

Even the Slaughter was stunned because this man could actually erase his Order.

Suddenly, he placed his hand on the ground while tilting to the left. Numerous spikes emerged from the shadows.

*Clang!*

The glass shattered and the room started to crumble. The spikes were humongous to the point it made the VIP room look like a sea urchin.

Two Mythical Rank Experts even left the room to avoid the spikes, showing themselves to the audience.

"What?"

"That guy stopped the Slaughter's power?"

"He even fought back to the point the Slaughter couldn't do anything."

Everyone sucked a cold breath, realizing that there was someone who was stronger than the Slaughter in that room. When they thought no one would be able to get this stone from the Slaughter, Theo shattered everyone's expectations.

042, who doubted Theo earlier, dropped her jaw to the ground. Even she didn't know that Theo, a small Supreme Rank Expert, had this kind of power. It was true that Theo had the power of a Mythical Rank Expert, but the Slaughter was different from a normal Mythical Rank Expert.

This showed that Theo's power was already beyond a normal Mythical Rank Expert, and he was still in the Supreme Rank right now.

Meanwhile, Rea, Felix, and Ryo furrowed their eyebrows, feeling weird about this power. Theo's power was vastly different from this. Although Theo used it once not long ago, they realized that this wasn't Theo's power.

'Shadow?' Rea contemplated, 'How can he suddenly wield a Shadow Ability? This is weird. Does Father know something about this? No, I don't think so. I should discuss this with Father.'

'His defense, huh…' Ryo looked at Theo for a moment before realizing that Theo had an overwhelming attack power. What he lacked was a shield that could protect him no matter what. He clenched his fists as if he was tightening his grip on the shields. 'I promise that I shall become your sturdy shield.'

'Well, a reinforcement that is stronger than anyone else, huh.' Felix thought. He knew this wasn't Theo's power, considering Theo never showed anything like this before. At the same time, this power reminded him of a certain figure.

She was the monster Theo met when rescuing the people from Argelia.

'So, a King Class Monster is the reinforcement. If that's the case, then I don't think we need to be afraid of anyone else.' Felix nodded in satisfaction, believing that everything had been secured. 'As expected of him, to think he would invite a King Class Monster here… Though, the only risk was his involvement with a monster. There's a chance that the people will think that he's betrayed humanity and joined the monster's side. Well, he should have considered it too.'

"Bastard!" Their shock was crushed by the cracked voice from the Slaughter. The spikes turned into blood and disappeared.

After that, the Slaughter walked to the edge of the room, showing himself.

He had spiky white hair with blood-red eyes. He was thin as if he hadn't eaten for a long time. His complexion was pale, but his body emanated a powerful aura.

He didn't stop there. Red-colored Magic Power started gushing out of his body as he glared at Theo's VIP room.

"So, the rumor is true…"

"The Slaughter has trained to the absolute limit that his Magic Power starts changing color into blood-red like that… As if he's emitting blood mist from his body."

"This is the power of the Slaughter…"

They were afraid of him because the blood-red Magic Power signified his position. Most of the people in this place never saw a different color of Magic Power. Although they had heard about it, the information was only something similar to the absolute power.

"It's said that the Slaughter has killed so many people that his Magic Power came from the blood of the people he killed."

"That was why his Magic Power had blood-red color."

"He's scary."

Everyone was talking about his power, especially Magic Power.

"Who are you?" The Slaughter shouted.

Theo spoke immediately, but it wasn't directed to him. In fact, Theo even ignored him and said to the expert on the stage. "I have made my bid. If you don't continue, is there even a reason for me to stay here?"

"Ah?!" The middle-aged man, although scared, still shouted, "100 billion going once! Going twice! Go—"

Before he finished, the Slaughter shouted, "101 billion."

The bid was simply the means to extend the auction duration. Meanwhile, the Slaughter formed a spear from the blood and shot it toward him. This spear was different from the palm because it had an extraordinary piercing power.

Suddenly, the shadow of the people on the first floor rose and merged together, turning into another spear. Both tips clashed with each other, causing a powerful shock wave.

"Shadow?"

"Our shadows are…"

The people were confused because their shadows had merged and turned into a spear. But Theo ignored them and said nonchalantly, "110 billion."

"You…" The Slaughter gritted his teeth. When he was about to raise the bid to fight this man, a Mythical Rank Expert from his room stopped him and whispered, "Please stop right now, Sir. There is a chance that the other party is trying to provoke you to bid more. Even if he somehow managed to escape later, he would be able to make you overpay.

"Instead of letting him play us the way he wanted, we should stop and let him buy the stone. After that, we'll start preparing the plans to steal it from him. This way, you'll get the last laugh."

The Slaughter's body shook before snorting. "Hmph. You'll have a brutal death."

"110 billion! Going once! Going twice! Going thrice! Sold!"

The entire hall was shocked that the mysterious man actually managed to win against the Slaughter.

In one of the VIP rooms, a young man looked at the Slaughter before smirking, "I see. This is interesting. Someone who can defeat the Slaughter, eh? But the Slaughter hasn't used all his power as well… This is interesting, very interesting."
