71. Auction house (3)

“…Smith, I can’t believe I’m moving this.”

The tall man sighed in front of the huge iron bars.

The iron window showed off its presence even in the warehouse of the auction house, where various valuables were lined up.

Inside, the corpse of a monster covered with ugly scars lay.

“I’m going to teleport anyway, but damn.”

“That’s it. But why are you taking this monster’s corpse?”

“I told you, you son of a bitch, Johnson. Where do you write it?”

Standing next to the 2m tall muscular man called Johnson was Smith, a skinny, diminutive man.

Smith, with a nervous expression, spat out thick curse words and took out several scrolls from his pocket.

“Because the powder we make is extracted from the bones of A-rank monsters or higher.”

“I see.”

“They say that if you treat the bones with chemicals and make powder and drink it, you feel better and your body gets stronger. Of course, the more you do it, the more you depend on the powder and your body gets messed up, but-”

“Don’t make it difficult. head hurts.”

Johnson couldn’t understand Smith’s explanation.

Since he was young, he had no opportunity to learn and the strap on his backpack was short.

“Eh, what do you want from a bird-head like you? Don’t be a jerk, come on and hit it.”

“… ”

Johnson silently attached the scroll Smith had handed him to the cage.

“What is this hardship because of the suddenly rotten guy.”

“I agree.”

Smith frowned and recalled the unfortunate wolf mask he had seen at the auction house.

I prepared a generous amount of 800 gold coins to take the corpse perfectly.

They sang 300 from the start and completely overwhelmed the atmosphere.

[A thousand gold coins.]

I never thought I would pay 1,000 gold coins for a monster carcass that was exhibited for 50 gold coins.

Of course, the auction failed because it exceeded the prepared amount.

It was only natural for the ‘lady’ they served to get angry.

“But why are these bastards so poorly guarded?”

“Isn’t good good? You wouldn’t know it even if you sneaked one or two like this.”

“You crazy bastard, the lady told me to finish it without a hitch. Don’t steal anything.”

“Isn’t there a saying that if you don’t get caught, you are innocent?”

Johnson trying to steal a jeweled ring, and Smith trying to stop it.

Perhaps it was because things went smoothly through the poor security, and they were obviously relaxed.

Shortly thereafter, the lights in the warehouse suddenly went out.

“Smith, what is it?”

“What, what! What kind of dog balum- kkeukreuk… ”

“Smith, Smith!”

“……”

Smith’s voice disappeared with the sound of boiling phlegm.

Johnson felt his hair stand on end.

A cold sensation as if a knife had been thrust into his throat swept through his entire body.

“aaa!”

Johnson swung his ferocious fist around.

In the middle, a ring or a barbed wire was stuck in the fist, causing pain.

Johnson, already paralyzed with fear, did not stop.

Before long, my eyes, adapted to the darkness, caught a glimpse of someone’s figure lying coldly.

Protruding cheekbones on a skinny body.

It was obviously Smith.

“smith! Wake up!”

Johnson caught Smith straight away.

For some reason, his body was wet, as if he had been splashed with water.

Smith’s body soaked in unpleasant warm liquid, and the fishy smell of blood in his nose.

Feeling alive at that moment, Johnson rolled to the side.

visor-!

“Did you avoid it?”

Where Johnson had been a moment ago, a spark flew as the metal met the floor.

In a fleeting spark, the assailant’s image came into Johnson’s field of vision.

A man’s voice so calm that it gives goosebumps, and…

“Wolf mask!”

Apparently, he was the one who ruined the plan of the ‘lady’ we met at the auction house.

I wish I could move like this myself.

Johnson rallied his energy and rushed into battle.

“A hand-to-hand combat is not lost.”

“…Really?”

“Come on!”

Johnson was confident in his body and his hand-to-hand combat skills.

Even though he lacks intelligence, he was appointed as a manpower to assist the ‘lady’.

“This will be an opportunity to test your abilities.”

The wolf mask raised its energy by talking incomprehensible sounds.

Johnson snorted inwardly at the energy emanating from the wolf mask.

It was because he was so low compared to himself.

‘I was just afraid of a guy like this.’

My sixth sense still sounded the alarm that the person in front of me was dangerous, but…

Johnson said that he, an assassin, is engaged in an all-out war with himself, a fighter.

And thinking about the fact that the energy I felt was poor, I tried to shake off my fear.

“Wow!”

A massive fist swung with spirit.

The wolf mask’s face-sized fist extended straight out.

And, the wolf mask also stretched out its fist.

‘Sick.’

It was Johnson with a height approaching 2m.

Because of the difference in reach, I couldn’t even reach my fist, but I stretched my fist against it.

There was no sickness like this.

“Ha ha ha! this disease… uh?”

Johnson, who had been laughing cheerfully, suddenly hardened his expression.

The vision in front of my eyes suddenly brightened.

The light source is not the light in the warehouse, but the man in front of you.

The man was breathing fire all over his body.

‘…what?’

The fire immediately moved like a snake and moved to the man’s right arm.

At the same time as the fist of the wolf mask extends

The burning flame hit Johnson’s heart in a straight line.

“Cheuk… !”

Johnson’s heavy body hit the wall of the warehouse and fell.

It flew a good few meters and left a crater mark on the wall.

I couldn’t breathe as if my ribs were broken.

“Have you caught up by about 40%?”

The sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.

Johnson looked up at the man’s figure, clutching at his fainting spirit.

The man in the wolf mask raised his fist.

“Good work.”

Shortly thereafter, Johnson was knocked out by a blow to the jaw.

* * *

“Whew… It made a lot of noise.”

At first, I tried to turn off the lights and cut them all in the dark, but

The big guy struggled and couldn’t complete the assassination.

I should have attacked the hunk first, but it was a mistake.

As long as the plan went wrong, direct hand-to-hand combat could not be avoided.

Fortunately, I was able to respond because I had the skills I learned from Ryan.

It was Ryan’s unique skill, ‘Erase one point’.

[You’re still immature.]

‘It’s been a few weeks since I learned it. Thanks to Miho-nim, I even imitated her.’

[Do you know how grateful I am? A pitiful fellow.]

As usual, Miho’s troubled voice echoed in his head.

I couldn’t even imitate ‘Erase One Point’ with my strength and body, but

With the power of each imprint and her assistance, he was able to defeat the big guy.

Of course, thanks to that, most of the energy was consumed, and the body was exhausted.

‘Lastly, please burn it down.’

[Are you trying to burn this?]

‘I don’t know what it is, but isn’t that what they wanted? It seems that the texture will be resolved only when all the powder is burned.’

Squeezing out the last remaining energy, he burned the monster’s corpse.

Because it was not an ordinary fire, but a magical fire, the fire burned the body without a trace.

The smell of burning corpses was unpleasant, but I decided not to pay attention to it because it happened in an instant.

“Because I properly blocked their plans…”

I finished the job by tying the skinny man and the big guy next to the barbed wire.

It wouldn’t be easy for me to find out my existence because I arranged the surrounding objects roughly as if they were fighting among themselves.

Even if a big guy reveals my identity, he hasn’t even seen my face.

[But, are you really not going to take anything?]

‘…What are you talking about?’

[Mmm… I wonder if it’s okay to swipe a few… ?]

It was Miho who seemed to be ashamed of himself, and the end of his words was blurred.

No, a person called a guardian deity tricked me into stealing.

Miho’s hurried excuses continued, probably interpreting my silence as strange.

[Yes, I will live comfortably only when you become strong! A great reunion under the pillar over there! If you eat him, your energy will increase several times!]

‘Yes, do you mind?’

[This, is this guy harassing the original woman?]

In the middle of an argument, as usual, I could use my strength and set off fireworks.

I pretended not to win and packed up things that looked pretty expensive.

I lost almost all of my money in this auction, and these are things that go into the hands of bad guys anyway.

[oh… That necklace will look good on your favorite child. That ring is oriental, and it seems to suit a child who uses a sword.]

‘…I’m not taking it as a gift, I’m just trying to sell it.’

[Eh, it doesn’t matter if you bring a ring or a few necklaces anyway!]

Seeing the necklace and ring, Miho made a fuss, so she eventually took them as well.

In the middle, ‘If only I could materialize, it would have gone well with that ring…’ ‘ while trying to ignore the complaining…

Now that you’ve packed everything you could fit into your pocket, it’s time to leave.

But was it taking too much time?

“Stay still!”

“Hey, what’s going on!”

As soon as I braced myself to get out of the warehouse, armed guards immediately rushed in.

Without saying anything, I was surrounded with their spears pointed at my neck.

… ruined.
