Chapter 123: Get Rich Quick (4)

In the dark auction hall, knights with drawn swords glared at the girl in front of them.

She held a large book in one hand and looked around the hall with a calm expression.

The knights standing in the hall were all from noble families who came to hire guards.

Despite having such knights in front of her, the girl still showed a relaxed attitude.

One of the nobles protested loudly at the girl’s attitude, which seemed to look down on them.

“Who are you? How dare you act so crazy when you don’t know who we are!”

“My identity, you ask?”

The girl stepped forward with a smile, her feet immersed in deep shadows.

A large wave spread from the black sea where the girl stood.

She looked down at the noble who spoke to her from the swaying shadows.

The difference in height created by their gazes felt like a difference in respect to everyone in the hall.

The girl looked down at everyone in the hall and revealed her identity in a clear voice.

“The first servant of the great one.”

“What...?”

“The first apostle, Eutenia Hyrost. And today, I will be your auctioneer.”

As soon as Eutenia’s voice ended, a huge figure rose from the darkness, making a loud noise throughout the hall.

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.

Black giants emerged from the rippling shadows and blocked the door of the hall.

The sight of the giants standing at the door made them guess that they had to break through them to get out of here.

The nobles who saw the giants blocking their escape glared at Eutenia on the stage.

“The apostle of Evil God...”

“Evil God? That’s rude to the great one. Those who speak rudely will lose their right to participate in the auction.”

As soon as Eutenia’s slender finger pointed at the noble, a thorn of shadow sprang from under his feet.

Puff.

The shadow thorn pierced through the noble’s abdomen in an instant.

His eyes turned red as he convulsed with the thorn in him.

He looked at his knight and screamed in a trembling voice.

“Sa... Save me...!”

“My lord! Are you alright!”

“Protect me, ugh... Everyone, protect me...!”

“You insolent bastard! How dare you do this to him!”Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

The knight who saw his master being attacked quickly cut off the thorn with his sword.

Clang!

The thorn that touched the knight’s sword with aura turned into smoke and scattered.

But the wound made by Eutenia’s shadow did not disappear and remained there.

Another knight quickly pressed on the bleeding noble’s wound to stop it.

The knight who cut off the thorn pointed his sword with aura at Eutenia.

The blue aura wrapped around his sword shone brightly.

He had to avenge his master who was attacked by an Evil God apostle.

“You wicked apostle of Evil God! I won’t let you do as you please here!”

Aura.

The symbol of a warrior who stands on the edge of life and death.

The aura that emanates from a warrior who has reached enlightenment vibrates endlessly and cuts through everything that collides with it.

The existence of a knight with aura was nothing but fear for magicians.

The knight seemed to trust his aura as he ran towards Eutenia with his sword wrapped in it.

The distance between him and Eutenia, who was standing on the ground, shortened in an instant.

Just before his sword reached Eutenia, a sound came out of her mouth.

“——Alpha.”

A golden eye glowed in the sea of shadows.

It broke through the deep darkness and opened its mouth at the knight who rushed at Eutenia.

Squeak.

A huge wall of shadow surrounded the knight with a sword.

The dark beast swallowed him whole and closed its mouth, making a sinister sound.

Crunch. Crunch.

As the beast sank into the shadows with the knight in its mouth, the auction hall where the nobles gathered was engulfed in a huge commotion.

Eutenia watched as most of the nobles who had been watching over their count panicked at the sight before them.

“Ah, Sir Altus...! No!”

“My lord! Don’t move!”

The count who lost his knight also vomited blood and glared at the beast.

It was a situation where an elite knight who could handle aura was easily devoured by a beast.

It was natural for him and his knights to be flustered.

Eutenia, who quickly dealt with one knight with her beast, looked at other knights.

“The others are quiet.”

He then stretched out his finger that he was holding.

The blood on his finger splashed onto the knight in front of him.

Did they not expect Pluto to splash blood like this?

The knight who got blood on his face widened his eyes and lifted his sword.

“Boom.”

“Aaargh...!”

Boom!

Another explosion engulfed the knight with Pluto’s blood magic.

The knight who suffered a fatal wound fell to the ground, spewing smoke.

Pluto, who had taken care of two knights with his blood magic in a row, took a step forward.

Thump. Thump.

His heavy boots made footsteps on the corridor of the auction hall.

The knights who had a hole in their line narrowed their gap and tried to deter Pluto who was approaching.

“Don’t come any closer! That’s not something you can touch!”

“Me? I don’t think I’m in a position to hear that kind of talk.”

“Shut up! Everyone! Prepare the scrolls!”

The knights who took out scrolls from their pockets tore them at once.

Pluto’s eyes scanned their scrolls.

The sentences printed on the top of the scrolls were from the central magic tower of the empire.

It was also a familiar item for Pluto, who had been dealing with the alchemist Elbon for a while.

Pluto lifted Deathside with both hands as he saw the knights using scrolls.

A vampire’s body was stronger than other races.

Especially for Pluto, who was the ancestor of vampires, it was not easy to inflict meaningful damage with any means.

“What a waste of effort.”

Pluto swung Deathside at the knights who rushed at him with scrolls torn.

Various lights burst out from their bodies.

From acceleration to all kinds of enhancement magic, they covered the knights who swung their swords at Pluto.

The swords of the knights with aura also emitted bright flames.

But Pluto calmly blocked their attacks with Deathside wrapped in darkness.

Even if he had forgotten most of his past memories, the martial arts he had learned were still in his fingertips.

“Die! Monster!”

Clang! Bang!

The sound of metal collision and explosion came out as many lights attacked Pluto.

One of the swords that swung at him pierced Pluto’s shoulder.

But even that wound became another means of attack for Pluto.

He allowed the knight to attack him and moved the blood from his wound to activate blood magic.

Boom!

A fierce explosion blew away the knights who had rushed at him.

They groaned in pain as they flew away from Pluto.

“Cough...!”

“Ugh...”

Pluto ignored the knights rolling on the ground and approached the soldiers guarding the box.

The soldiers were also tense because of the fallen knights in their line.

Thump. Thump.

Pluto’s footsteps echoed again in the corridor.

The wound on his shoulder had healed completely by now.

“Don’t come any closer!”

One of the soldiers who pointed his spear at Pluto warned him as he approached the box.

Pluto faced the soldiers and raised Deathside with both hands.

Unlike when he took down the heavily armored knights, he intended to finish them all at once this time.

Along with the magic that protected the magic stone he was looking for.

“——Deathside.”

Darkness moved and created a black scythe in the air.

The black scythe could move along Deathside’s trajectory and strike whatever Pluto aimed at.

Pluto swung Deathside hard at his enemies in front of him.

His blade made a transcendent slash that reached out.

Slash!

A black trail was drawn in the air as the soldiers guarding the box were cut down in an instant.

The magic that protected the box also broke completely by Deathside’s strike.

The layers of magic shattered and the box that the soldiers were guarding collapsed in a moment.

“...”

Beyond the scattered darkness, Pluto’s eyes saw a large purple gemstone.

A top-grade magic stone.

The purest and largest one among all existing magic stones was reflected in his eyes.
