Hye didn't care about such a price. If he wanted, he could change the type of bones he'd pay with, reducing this number greatly.
He tried, and if he changed the normal bones with a green grade dark realm one, then the one hundred million price tag would be as low as only one million. Not to mention he got billions upon billions of each grade of bones.
He didn't lack anything, and he wanted to buy this item to kill his boredom. He also wanted to see what items brought out from the outer battlefield were like.
His darkness power came from the other universe, which meant any item from the outer battlefield with darkness attached to it would be useful for him.
His wait didn't last that long before this item's turn arrived. The moment it appeared on the feed in front of him, Hye selected instantly the buyout option.
"And this time it's a treasure found in the outer battlefield. As you can see, it releases dark energy… Ahem, I'm sorry for that but it seems we have someone who got it using the Buy Out option! Congrats for him…"
Just as her words landed, many customers at their places looked in disbelief towards the screen. It was just as Hye guessed, a sort of tacit agreement between everyone taking part regularly at these auctions.
"He must be someone new, damn!"
"What a waste! He is quite impatient!"
"If he wanted it, he could have gotten it for a lower price… Who the heck is this reckless dude?"
Everyone experienced in these sorts of auctions felt like they were in front of a cub, a newbie who knew nothing about how the real world ran, how things were done.
But when they examined his name and details, they froze in their places.
"Damn! Is it that human who humiliated the Hescos?!!"
"No way! It can't be him!"
"Is it Hye?"
Many recognised the person with the human race title next to it. There wasn't a second human in the entire universe except for Hye, someone who was wealthy and strong enough to take part in such a high level auction.
When they started to investigate, paying part of their wealth in return for this tip, they got to know more about him. Just when they learnt that he paid his fees using bones they became surer of their earlier doubts.
"Hahahahaha! That Hye… I told them to not suppress him that much, hahahaha!" Silverlining was watching this feed just to kill his boredom. He was authorised to monitor lots of auctions, looking for anything that might be useful for the empire.
When he saw the human race words below Hye's hidden name, he knew it was him. And instantly he recalled the long debate that happened frequently inside the closed circle of leadership in his race.
Silverlining was seen as one who belonged to the Hye faction. That was the name of the suppressive party against helping Hye and his rising kingdom with universal stat crystal called over people like Silverlining.
The latter couldn't refute such words, as he knew like others that without Hye, he would never have reached such a stage in authority inside the empire.
Silverining wasn't the only person attending this auction, other figures from the Toranks race were there, and they instantly recognised Hye for his human race title and bones.
And as they noticed him, others did, including Hye's enemies; Hescos.
"That son of b*tch! He is at that damn place!"
"I told you to take down this world before, right? But no one listened!"
"Why are you acting like this? Why don't we just mass our forces and hit these two together?"
"Let's contact our forces around that place, we need to give them a proper lesson. I bet an arm they let him in to just antagonise us!"
"Hmm… This is quite possible. Let's take it down then, at least we'll burn the world and kill that despicable human with everyone else."
Lots of discussions erupted when people recognised Hye. Yet the person who caused such a stir wasn't aware of any of that. And even if he did, he wouldn't feel any pressure.
If the Hescos got the ability to do it, they'd have taken down this world a long time ago. This move which he hoped for, happened without him intending anything from it. And if he knew, he'd just laugh to his heart content.
Hye watched how another item appeared on the feed, before he received a message about deducting the bones from his inventory in exchange for gaining one item.
When he got this rock out, he felt how huge it was! In the feed, it was lying peacefully on the table, looking as if it was small on the size of one's closed fist or something.
"It's like a giant boulder," he examined the rock that seemed to weigh at least tens of tons. It was five metres in width, ten in length, with an irregular surface that was filled with lots of protrusions and indentations.
It was pitch black, exuding a layer of black colour as it got a shield over it. He circled it, ignoring the next auctioned item. "I can't tell anything just from looking…"
He touched it, to feel how cold it was. Yet he didn't feel anything abnormal, nothing at all except for this coldness.
"I should try using my technique and darkness energy…" he thought, before starting to make a technique. Yet when he was just about to complete forming a circle, something changed in that rock.
To make this circle, he had to use his blood to control it. The moment his blood appeared, the rock started to vibrate, issuing noises like it was responding to a call or something.
The moment this happened, he noticed it. He didn't continue forming the circle or completing the technique, just let his blood drop over the ground while examining the rock.
