CH 345

The Great Powers of the Upper Class (3)

"Oh."

"indeed ."

"It's more than I expected."

"Is that already finished?"

Exclamations broke out everywhere.

A girl with blue hair stood where everyone's eyes gathered.

An empty pupil that lost focus and a slender body.

In contrast, thick golden chains were tightly binding their arms and legs.

Jinhyuk's eyes also narrowed.

A card that will be the highlight of this auction and a key force in the fight against the powers of the divinities in the future.

It is a masterpiece 'Homunculus', which is said to be the finished product of alchemists.

Since there is no emotion, there is no hesitation in getting rid of life. His basic combat skills are also very good.

In fact, the homunculus plays a fairly important role in the middle and second half of the Tower of Trials.

'That first product is that girl.'

aka Alpha.

Unlike items that are usually improved over time, the quality of homunculus is superior the earlier it is made.

This is because 'Philosopher's stone', a key material for making homunculus, was used the most.

"Huhu. Everyone's reaction is good! But, as we all know, this auction cannot be successful simply because it has a lot of money."

okay. I guess so.

If it had been a problem that could be solved with money, the divinities would have sent only their own representatives to issue blank checks.

Because there are so many albums out there who only have coins and magic stones.

Above all, the person who hosted this auction is a coin and a magic crystal, so I have no particular interest in it.

The host, who felt his eyes were focused, continued.

"A bid is a minimum condition. And in order to win the bid, you have to be chosen by the homunculus here. Oh! The choice isn't a big deal, just make her kneel. Homunculus only recognizes the strong as its owner."

In a word, you have to make that emotionless doll obey itself.

right then

"It's fun."

A large man stood up among the divinities.

kuung!

It shakes left and right just by getting up.

Bursting muscles and hands bigger than a tiger.

Hercules is said to be the greatest hero of Greece.

kwaang!

Hercules left his seat and jumped to the center of the auction house at once.

With his swift movements like a squirrel unsuitable for his size.

"Is this what this little boy is going to be a combat weapon that surpasses the Titan in the future? Hmm.

Bump!

Hercules' huge hand gripped the homunculus' head.

"Acknowledge me as your master. If you refuse, I will smash that head."

" "

His blue hair was rough, but the homunculus still didn't move.

In the first place, the emotion of fear itself does not reside in both eyes.

"I'm sorry, Hercules. You do not deserve her approval."

"Are you saying I'm not qualified?"

"No. It's just ."

The presenter shrugged.

"The homunculus does not recognize the divinities as masters. Not even Hercules, but anyone else."

Alchemists' work made from Philosopher's stone.

Because, mana of divinity is of no use.

"So all the divinities brought their own 'Apostles'."

The apostles are the representatives.

Those who receive the Blessing and mana of the divinities and execute their will.

Whoops.

Shh.

As if waiting, the apostles arose here and there.

and.

Olympus was the first to move as if to succeed Hercules.

"Medesus. Were you the apostle that Hermes brought?"

"Yes. I have heard about the homunculus from him."

"Is it possible? You only get one chance."

"Of course. I will definitely bring that homunculus for Olympus."

He is 190 cm tall and has a strong muscular body.

Medesus, with his brown hair hanging down to his shoulders, drew his sword.

Sreung!

Sword light was scattered, and free mana unique to Greece rose.

"Hmm. Good. Let's try to believe it."

Hercules nodded and took a step back.

Medesus glanced at the presenter.

"If the condition of obedience is to bring you to the knees, how far are the means and methods allowed?"

"You can attack. It's okay to use other things.

"You won't even have to go there."

Papa!

The sword of Medesus is gone.

It was a blow loaded with both weight and speed as if it would cut off the entire leg.

However.

Kaaan!

The homunculus, who had not yet moved, moved for the first time.

Suddenly, the 1m-long spear held in both hands drew a circle like a pinwheel.

At the same time, the homunculus leapt behind the podium, trying to take a breath.

"Remnants!"

Medesus immediately closed the distance.

The gap between the two was less than 30 cm by extending the right foot greatly forward.

Kaka Kaka Kang!

In an instant, dozens of attacks crossed.

It was a sword attack that was difficult for everyone to respond to.

But.

"How could this be how?"

As time passed, Medesus' face darkened little by little.

Obviously, it was you who was raging like a storm.

The opponent was just in a hurry to receive it.

Yet how did it happen The delicate balance showed no sign of breaking.

Aww wow!

The vertical strike stopped just above the homunculus' forehead.

blocked again.

Both strength and technique were superior, but one decisive shot was lacking.

"Wow!"

" "

The homunculus, who crossed the javelin and blocked, escaped from the gap of Medesus this time as well.

"Don't just run away, fight back!"

If I went any further, that would mean killing, not testing.

However, there were too many eyes to see the tail.

Even if Hercules is furious, wouldn't it be possible to lower the rank of Olympus in a place where many powers gather?

If I can't have it here, I'd rather just kill it so no one else can have it.

then .

A blue energy lingered in Medesus' arms.

huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The fierce light increased its momentum.

The idea is to see the end at once through the uniqueness window.

[Medesus activates the Unique Spear 'Unengaged Rift'!]

"I'm definitely not going to kill...!"

In response to the sudden action, the host stepped forward.

However, Medesus' attack was faster by one tempo.

KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwak!

space cut series.

The flame-infused air was still stuck to the spot where the sword had passed.

It is a sign of how quickly the attack was made.

However.

Chi profit!

The homunculus even survived the attack.

A long sword image was subtly twisted around the ground where she was standing, probably because she had traversed the track with a spear.

"What the hell happened to him? On the subject of dolls..."

Mesesus muttered in a dismayed voice.

Maybe it's because I never imagined that I could even stop this.

"Stop it. If it's strange, it could keep Olympus from attending our auction house forever."

The atmosphere that had been heated up only after the host gave the threat calmed down.

Of course, the heads of the divinities who watched the battle just before began to be filled with completely different imaginations.

"It's it's definitely amazing."

"I'll stop the Olympus side's apostle from activating the Unique Spear."

"It's the first homunculus... I'm more and more covetous."

Equivalent to the higher apostles No, it's a weapon that might be even better.

It must be obtained even for the struggle for power in the upper echelons.

That was the common thought of all who gathered here.

"Stupid Greeks, that's the limit. Aren't you showing this kind of ugliness because you accept a middle-aged late 20th-century resident as an apostle? The demon world proves that you deserve it."

Guntafer went mad.

"Cantura!"

At Guntafer's command, an old man in a black robe appeared this time.

Demon Clan who lives in the late 30s.

His skinny body with two short horns was quite impressive.

"Quick. I admit it's a bit quick, but it's not my opponent anyway. I'll finish it in a minute."

When the minimum bid was paid, Cantura pulled out a pair of curved swords.

fault!

With the sound of rubbing the ground, Cantura sprinted forward.

Kaka-ga-ga-gak!

The speed of almost space movement.

If only Medesus had foreseen strength and skill a while ago.

Cantura aimed at the blind spot with a movement specialized in assassination.

" "

Homunculus still received a surprise attack from his opponent with an expressionless face.

Kaang!

Kang!

once. twice. And three times... .

Again the battle began to lengthen.

seven already.

The apostles of the divinities tried one after another, but none failed to bring the homunculus to the knees.

Even if the top Apostles could not come due to the war on each floor. It resulted in absurd results.

"That's it..."

"It's the whole fruit across the river."

"I didn't know that even the Apostle of Eden would be defeated. It's a really great Master grade."

The surprise of the homunculus flowed from everyone's mouth.

Of course, there was also the bitter aftertaste of not getting it.

'Hmm Also, as expected.'

The host patted his chin with a small hand.

The highlight of this episode, the homunculus, was an auction item that could not be obtained by simply trying to print it by force.

If you thought a little more deeply about 'Philosopher's Stone', alchemy, and the trait of being the first... .

If that was the case, I thought there would be one force that could attack... .

There seems to be no force that has the potential to win the bid.

'It seems to be here.'

The host raised his hand to signal the end of the auction.

But right then.

someone stepped out

This is Jinhyuk

Jinhyuk, who was constantly watching the situation and preparing for something, finally moved.

huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The subspace inventory was opened, and an item to be paid for admission came out.

"Ha! Is it just a bracelet after doing something? As for such a silly treasure..."

Guntafer, who was talking, stopped.

This is no ordinary bracelet.

An ancient kingdom that disappeared buried in the sand.

It is an advanced relic that can only be obtained there.

It's clear that someone who has this... You must be the headmaster of the former Ataraxia?

I don't know why it's here, but what's certain is that the lowest bid at auction was enough.

chuck.

Jinhyuk grabbed his fangs.

Just like the apostles have been doing. It seemed that he was trying to subdue the homunculus through battle.

'I said something a little different... This man is the same.'

The presenter shattered the expectations he had held for a while.

this guy and that guy

If you look at taking out the weapon first, the result is minimal.

But. The disappointment was short-lived.

'Oh?'

The presenter's mouth opened slightly.

The cute rabbit ears perked up.

A sweet scent that spreads towards the tip of the nose.

no doubt

Philosopher's stone.

Exactly, by melting a replica of Philosopher's stone He sprayed it on his own body.

"...!?"

The homunculus' blue eyes narrowed very slightly.

That's the start.
