Chapter 36.1: Vampire (5)
There was no reply from him.
He was just sitting there, staring at me, frozen. For a moment, everything seemed to have stopped.
“···Kuh-hat!”
Soon the guy burst out laughing.
The guy, who had his head bowed and sobbed and laughed, said with a straight face.
“Are you crazy? Are you impersonating a Lord’s name in Calderic?”
“···”
“If you’re a Lord, I’m the hero of Santea, you crazy bastard. You’ve had a lot more flavor than I thought. Did you say it because you thought that such nonsensical bullshit would really work?”
Well, this was the reaction.
It wasn’t unexpected, so I didn’t say more.
To him, it sounded like nothing but bullshit I said to escape the crisis.
Of course that was normal. Why would the Seventh Lord who was supposed to be in Enrock be taking part in such a secret auction in the Third Lord’s territory?
“Yeah, you seem to have no intention of answering my questions, so don’t regret what will happen next.”
Saying that, the guy got up from his seat.
Then he strode to the podium, stopped the host, and stood in the middle.
“I’m sorry everyone, but we’re going to pause the auction for a while.”
The sudden situation caused a commotion in the seats where the participants were sitting.
“There is a person who participated in the auction by killing the members of our organization and robbing them of invitations. We will deal with the rats first and then proceed with the auction as normal, so we ask for your understanding.”
As for what he was going to do, he didn’t seem to have any intention of waiting patiently until the auction was over.
My eyes met the guy standing on the podium.
Naturally, the surrounding eyes turned all at once towards me.
I heard conversations from the participants. They seemed to also consider this a fun event.
Haaa…
This was tiring.
I had been patient with this disgusting auction until now, and this was what it all came about.
I didn’t bother thinking about how to sort this situation out. There was no need for that.
There’s no need to question how things ended up at this point, I just had to go with the flow.
“I’ll give you one last chance. Will you be captured quietly, or will they sever one or two of your limbs while resisting?”
Suddenly, armed men appeared around me and surrounded the place where I was sitting. Were you fighters of Valkilov?
All of them were over level 50, and there were some who were over level 60, so it seemed like an elite force.
I looked at the guy standing on the podium.
Judging from the fact that he was just talking, he acted like he was going to tear everything apart with his hands right away, and yet he didn’t order this elite force to attack right away.
It’s probably because he didn’t know exactly how strong my side was, so I guessed he was on his guard for now. It was a very prudent decision.
Seeing me still sitting still, he clicked his tongue and gave an order.
“Don’t kill them yet. Just enough to leave a few breaths.”
The other participants around them retreated outside, and the combatants gradually narrowed the distance.
The hall became quiet for a moment.
The heat, which had been filthy and stinky until a while ago, turned into coolness and ugliness in an instant.
I smiled lightly.
Ironically, this atmosphere, which would soon be filled with corpses and blood, felt more comfortable than an auction of buying and selling people.
Humans were animals of adaptation, but had I already adapted to this world to this point? I didn’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
“Asher.”
“Yes.”
As soon as I opened my mouth, Asher, who was sitting next to me, got up from her seat. And put her hand on the sword.
I spoke softly.
“It doesn’t matter if you kill them all.”
Opponents were dozens, and all were skilled in the 50s and 60s level.
On the other hand, there was only one Asher on my side.
But I didn’t care in the slightest. Even before the fight, the outcome was already decided.
Until now, she had only encountered monsters that are too out of the ordinary, but Asher was a strong person who belonged to the highest rank in this world.
If I hadn’t persuaded her and recruited her as an escort, she would have become a knight in the Black Star Order, the elite power of the Overlord Castle.
Even if Valkilov was the best organization in the Third Lord’s territory, the status itself was quite different. It was a wolf among a herd of rabbits.
The difference in level in the RaSa worldview was so absolute and absurd.
“Ah…”
One combatant tried to open his mouth.
That was his last word.
Aah.
A huge beam of light emanating from Asher’s sword split in all directions.
Then, their bodies were torn apart in an instant and collapsed.
It couldn’t even be called a battle. Valkilov’s fighters were wiped out without being able to resist once.
For me, it was a natural result, but for those who watched, it was not.
“Uhhh!”
The participants, who could not grasp the situation for a moment, started screaming and running away in all directions.
While the hall was engulfed in chaos, I stared at the guy on the podium, Jack.
“···!”
As I looked at the situation with disinterest in my eyes, the pupil of the man who made eye contact with me shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
Then he flew straight away from the podium.
Wow…
He’s running away like that?
Asher immediately ran after him.
