A silver armor with gold embellishments on its surface reflected the gleam of the beam of light. Several demons looked amazed when they saw it.
<Silvermoon>
[Class : B]
[Type : Artefact (Body shield)]
[An artefact created by the dwarves, made of extraterrestrial material. It has high durability and density.]
"Silvermoon, a silver armor created from the dead stars. Forged by the dwarves and received magic spells from the High Elf. There are only a few who have this armor."
Asriel's last sentence caused an uproar in the hall.
"Prices open from 20,000!"
One of the demons stood up and held up a plate number.
"25,000!"
"Number 43 bid 20,000!"
After that, the other demons followed suit.
p
"40,000!"
"45,000!"
Alyna, who saw another demon targeting the item, began to show some interest. She was about to pick up the number plate, but Isaac quickly stopped her.
"What?" asked Alyna with an annoyed expression on her face.
"If I were you, I wouldn't offer my money for a B-grade armor plate."
The female demon narrowed her eyes, showing curiosity.
Isaack looked into her eyes with a firm determination. "Believe me."
In the end, Alya complied. She didn't know why, but she could feel the sincerity in Isaac's words.
The demons kept fighting over each other, trying to bid the highest price. After the bid touched 175,000 zenny, the price just stopped rising.
"Silvermoon fell into the hands of Number 21! Congratulations!"
The Demon who won Silvermoon looked satisfied.
Isaac just smirked at him.
'His bad habits haven't gone away.'
It needed precision when buying auction items. The items and monsters that were auctioned were of high quality, but most of them had no special function.
The auction host was very good at playing with the auctioneer's emotions.
He understood the greedy characteristics of demons. He only said what needed to be said and gave exaggerated intonations so that the items being auctioned seemed valuable. That way, the demons would be interested in buying it.
'Angels never lie, but they also never tell the whole truth.'
The auction went on, item after item, monster after monster; all sold at high prices. The dukes hiding behind their masks and robes dominated the purchase of products that had special value, while the mere demons only got crumbs.
Isaac was just bidding without buying. Apart from enlivening the auction, he wanted the dukes to think that he had lost a lot of zenny after buying Byakko.
In the 17th product, he bought an artefact ring named 'Strange Pendant'. As the name suggests, the effect given by the item was quite strange, making the demons not interested in bidding on it. So, Isaac only spent 20,000 zenny to get the item.
Until, they were at the 35th product item.
"This is the next product to be auctioned."
A full armor set with a sword appeared. All parts of it were pitch black like ink. A dark aura radiated from the item.
"This is the combat gear used by the legendary warrior during the Great War II in the Nether Realm, Diablo F. Lux. It was said that his armor used to be dark grey in color, but because there were a lot of demons dying in his hands and their blood splattered on the armor, it caused it to turn pitch black. You can feel the terrifying aura emanating from this armor set."
The demons quickly gave off their greedy gazes.
Isaac was no exception.
<Dark Fate>
[Class : S]
[Type : Artefact (Armor set)]
[The former combat equipment belonged to the former legendary demon warrior, Diablo F Lux. The terrifying aura radiating from it is from the blood of the slain demon.]
[The user's entire stat will be increased by 30 points.]
'I have to get it.'
Asriel quickly opened the price.
"Dark Fate, this legendary artefact, is not just an ordinary item. So, the opening price is quite expensive. Starting at 75,000 zenny!"
The first demon to bid was Alyna.
"100,000!"
"Number 53 bid 100,000 zenny! Any other?"
The other demons didn't want to lose. They started offering prices.
"110,000!"
"115,000!"
"120,000!"
They kept bidding for the highest price. However, the price skyrocketed even more when the dukes began to interfere.
"300,000!"
"Wow! Incredible! Number 02 Immediately bid double the highest price."
"325,000!"
"400,000!"
Asriel looked excited to hear the bidding price that the demons exclaimed. His smile grew wider when Alyna became the highest bidder.
"500,000!"
"Number 53 bidd 500,000! Highest price so far… Who else wants to bid again?"
Alyna glanced at Isaac with a worried look on her face. She was worried that the demon next to her would make an offer. And her worries were right.
Isaac stood up.
"600,000!"
WOAAAH!
An uproar filled the hall. Again, precious and special products fell to the same demon.
"600,000 zenny? Anyone else want to bid?"
Asriel peered at the demons in the hall. He kept his mouth shut for a while. No demon showed any signs of being able to exceed that budget.
"No one else can bid. Dark Fate, the armor set of the former legendary warrior, Diablo, falls into the hands of Number 99! Happy!"
Isaac quickly sat up with a smile on his face. Alyna seemed to give off an unpleasant aura.
"Looks like 1.7 million zenny isn't bullshit. Congratulations, you have stolen valuable items," said Alyna in an annoyed tone.
"Thank you."
The aura of annoyance was not only shown by Alyana, but the other demons also showed the same reaction.
Class S was the rarest class, because the effects given were very significant. There were never any items or monsters with a high class for sale in the shop. It was natural for the demons to be jealous of Isaac, who had two Class S products at the auction this time.
Isaac was sure that if the auction didn't oblige the demons to wear a mask, he would have become the target of other demons.
'Now, only one more important item remains.'
The auction continued again. The demons quickly moved on.
The rest products were monsters. Most of them were B-class monsters; such as elves, dwarves, dragon-born, or drakes. There were only two A-class monsters up for auction; High Elves and Dark Knights. They belonged to the Boss type.
It could say that there was nothing special until all the auction products were sold out.
"Thank you for participating in this delightful event, Demon Lord. I hope that many of you will survive until next year."
After Asriel delivered his final words, the stage curtain closed. The demons rose to their seats and quickly left the hall. Some of them seemed to be glancing at Isaac.
There was a look of curiosity and worry in their eyes.
"You win, black-flames haired Lord. I'll be waiting in the banquet hall," whispered Alyna. The woman didn't say much. After that, she quickly left with another demon.
The auction hall was empty. All the demons had left the hall. Only Isaac and the empty chairs remained.
"Lord…"
Abigail's voice came from the front door of the hall's exit.
"Please leave the hall."
Isaac complied with Abigail's request. He and his guardian angel left the hall of the auction.
After they arrived at the dressing room, the figure of an angel who was the host of the auction was standing in the corner of the room. He crossed his arms in his chest and looked at Isaac with a disapproving look.
"So, what does Lord Isaac Constantine want from me?"
Isaac just smiled at Asriel's expression.
