Episode 345. The great power of the upper echelons (3)

“Ohhh.”

“I see…”

“It’s more than I expected.”

“Has that already been completed?”

Exclamation burst out from everywhere.

A girl with blue hair was standing where everyone’s eyes gathered.

Empty pupils that lost focus and a slender body.

In contrast, thick golden chains tightly bound his arms and legs.

Jinhyeok’s eyes also narrowed.

A card that will be the highlight of this auction and a key force in future battles with the gods.

It is the masterpiece ‘Homunculus’, which is said to be the finished product of alchemists.

Because there are no emotions, there is no hesitation in eliminating life. Basic fighting skills are also very good.

In fact, the homunculus plays a fairly important role in the mid-to-late half of the Tower of Trials.

‘That first product is that girl.’

aka Alpha.

Unlike items that are usually improved over time, homunculus are superior in quality the earlier they are created.

This is because ‘Philosopher’s Stone’, a key material for making homunculus, was used the most.

“Whoops. As expected, everyone is responding well! But, as everyone knows, you cannot win this auction just because you have a lot of money.”

okay. I guess so.

If it was a problem that could be solved with money, the gods would have sent only their agents and issued blank checks.

It’s because the rich people who only have coins and magic stones are widely spread.

Above all, since the hosts of this auction are coins and magic stones, they are not interested in anything else.

The presenter, feeling that the attention was focused, continued.

“Bid is the minimum condition. And to win the bid, you have to be chosen by the homunculus here. Ah! The choice is nothing special, just make her kneel. The homunculus only recognizes the strong as their masters.”

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

Right then.

“It’s interesting.”

A tall man among the gods stood up.

cooong!

It shakes left and right just by standing up.

Bursting muscles and hands bigger than a tiger.

Heracles is the greatest Greek hero.

Quaang!

Hercules jumped out of his seat and leaped to the middle of the auction house.

Not befitting of his size, he moved as swiftly as a squirrel.

“Is this kid going to be a fighting weapon that surpasses Titan in the future? Hmm.

Bang!

Hercules’ gigantic hand grasped the homunculus’s head.

“Acknowledge me as your master. If you refuse, I will smash your head.”

“…”

The blue hair was rough, but the homunculus still didn’t even move.

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

“I’m sorry, Hercules. You can’t get her approval.”

“You mean I’m not qualified?”

“No, just…”

the host shrugged.

“The homunculus does not recognize deities as masters. It is the same with anyone other than Hercules.”

The work of alchemists created through the Philosopher’s Stone.

Therefore, the magical power of the godhead is of no use.

“So… all the deities brought their own ‘apostles’.”

The apostles are soon to be surrogates.

They are those who receive the protection and magical power of the gods and carry out their will.

Swoop.

Shuk.

As if they had been waiting, apostles rose up here and there.

and.

The Olympus side moved first as if they were going to succeed Hercules.

“Medesus. Were you the apostle that Hermes brought?”

“Yes. I heard about the homunculus from him.”

“Is it possible? There is only 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!

The sword light was scattered, and Greece’s unique free magic gushed out.

“Hmm. Good. Let’s try to believe it.”

Hercules nodded and took a step back.

Medesus glanced at the host.

“If the condition of obedience is to make one kneel, how far are the means and methods allowed?”

“It’s okay to attack. It’s okay to use something else. However, killing is not allowed. This is a place to test qualifications to the end.”

“I won’t even go there.”

Papapat!

Medesus’ sword disappeared.

It was a blow that had both weight and speed, as if it would cut off the entire leg.

however.

Kaaang!

The homunculus, which had not budged until now, moved for the first time.

Before I knew it, the 1m long short spear in both hands drew a circle like a pinwheel.

At the same time, the homunculus jumped behind the podium and tried to earn a breath.

“Fair tricks!”

Medesus immediately closed the distance.

By extending his right foot forward, the distance between them was less than 30 cm.

Kakakakakang!

In an instant, more than tens of attacks crossed each other.

It was an out-of-the-way sword attack that was hard for everyone to react to.

however.

“It can’t be… How?”

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

Clearly, he was the one who was raging like a storm.

The opponent was just in a hurry to receive it.

but how did it happen The precarious balance showed no signs of breaking.

Kwaaaaang!

The vertical strike stopped just above the homunculus’ forehead.

got stuck again

Both strength and technique were superior, but a decisive blow was lacking.

“Keugh!”

“…”

The homunculus that blocked it across the spear escaped from Medesus’ gap again.

“Don’t just run away, fight back!”

Going further from here would mean killing, not testing.

However, it had too many eyes to curl its tail.

Even if Heracles, who was angry, couldn’t drop the dignity of Olympus at the place where numerous forces gathered?

If you can’t have it on this side, I’d rather just kill it so that no one else can have it.

If so…

Medesus’ arm had a blue aura.

Whoa!

The fierce light increased its momentum.

It is because of the idea of seeing the end at once through the uniqueness window.

[Medesus activates his unique window ‘Uninterlocked Cracks’!]

“I’m sure I can’t kill…!”

The moderator took an unexpected action.

However, Medesus’ attack was one tempo faster.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

space cutting series.

The degraded air was still stuck to the place where the sword had passed.

It is a proof of how quickly the attack was carried out.

however.

Chii profit!

The homunculus even survived that attack.

A long sword shape was subtly twisted around the ground she was standing on, as if she had deflected her trajectory with a dagger.

“How the hell did he eat it? About dolls…”

Messisus muttered in a broken voice.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t imagine that I could stop this.

“Stop it. If you do more than that, the people of Olympus may not be able to attend our auction forever.”

The heated atmosphere calmed down only after the host made threats.

Of course, the heads of the Godheads who watched the previous battle began to fill with completely different imaginations.

“This… is definitely amazing.”

“To think that the Olympian apostle would stop the activation of the Unique Spear.”

“It’s the first homunculus… I’m coveting it even more.”

A weapon comparable to a high-ranking apostle… or perhaps even superior.

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

That was the common thought of everyone gathered here.

“That’s the limit for stupid Greeks. Aren’t they showing this kind of rudeness when they accept a halfway resident of the late 20th floor as an apostle? The Demon World proves that they are qualified to obtain that.”

Guntafer exploded with madness.

“Kantura!”

At Guntaper’s command, an old man wearing a black jacket appeared this time.

Demons living in the late 30th floor.

The skinny body with two short horns was quite impressive.

“Kuh-kuh. I’ll admit it’s a bit fast, but he’s not my opponent anyway. I’ll finish it in one minute.”

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

fault!

With the sound of rubbing the ground, Kantura galloped forward.

Each Kaka!

A speed close to space travel.

If Medesus had the upper hand in strength and skill a moment ago.

Kantura aimed at the blind spot with a move specialized for assassination.

“…”

The homunculus still received the opponent’s surprise attack with an expressionless face.

Caang!

Kang!

once. twice. And three times…

Again the battle began to lengthen.

???

Seven already.

The apostles of the Godheads challenged one after another, but none of them failed to bring the homunculus to its knees.

Even if the top level apostles couldn’t come due to the war on each level. This resulted in unbelievable results.

“So…”

“It’s a fruit from across the river.”

“I didn’t expect even the Apostle of Eden to be defeated. It’s such a masterpiece.”

Surprise about the homunculus flowed from everyone’s lips.

Of course, there was also a bitter aftertaste from not getting it.

‘Hmm… Is it as expected?’

The presenter stroked his chin with a small hand.

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

If I had thought a little more deeply about the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’, alchemy, and the characteristics of being the first…

If so, I thought there would be a force that could attack…

but a force with the possibility of winning the bid. It seems that there is no

‘Looks like we’ve come this far.’

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

But just then

someone came out

It’s Jinhyeok.

Jinhyeok, who continued to watch the situation and prepare something, finally moved.

Whoa!

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

“Ha! I said something, but is it just a bracelet? As for such a trivial treasure…”

Guntafer paused.

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.

The one who has this must be… It must be the former head of Ataraxia?

I don’t know why it’s here, but what’s certain is that it’s good enough for the lowest bid.

chuck.

Jinhyeok clenched his fangs.

Just like the apostles did until now. It seemed that he was trying to subjugate the homunculus through battle.

‘I thought something was a little different… This man is the same.’

The host dispelled the expectations he had for a moment.

This guy and that guy.

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

however. The disappointment was short-lived.

‘Huh?’

The presenter’s mouth opened slightly.

The cute bunny ears pricked up.

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

Undoubtedly.

Sorcerer’s Stone.

To be precise, he melted down a copy imitating the Philosopher’s Stone…and sprinkled it on himself.

“…!?”

The homunculus’ blue eyes narrowed very finely.

that’s the start
