The King of Fairies is now a Demon Lord

Chapter 26: Solomon's Ring

Demonic beastsare monstrosities that are caused by mutations in normal monsters.

They are usually the boss monsters that are found in dungeons. There are many different types of demonic beasts.

Some are extremely dangerous while some like to be cared for so they willfully become pets. The one common thing that all soul beasts have is intelligence.

Some even have their own villages... a civilization and society many a time.

The auctioneer snatched the cloth away from the item.

My eyes widened as my excitement grew. A twisted smile formed on my face as I stared hard.

The item was trapped inside a glass box. It was a gooey creature, clear and transparent. Constantly trying to break the glass.

Many freaked out when they saw the creature and started to complain about showing them such a disgusting item. Nobody liked it.

"Ladies and gentlemen! There are many demonic beasts in many different realms. Slime is one of the rare creatures as they are usually hunted by the creatures stronger than them as their cores provide good nourishment."

Everyone who looked down on the creature now had a different expression. Their mouths were agape and their eyes were filled with greed.

"Bidding price starts from 200 million credits!" The auctioneer announced.

There was pin-drop silence in the auditorium, those who were looking at the slime with greed were now looking at disdain.

Well, the humans were not wrong, for them, it would be overpriced as they didn't have much affinity for magic.

If an individual refines the core by providing nourishment to the slime and eats it then they would find a burst of power in their body.

If a cultivator absorbs it then their realm would increase by two stages and if a mage eats it then their mana capacity and control both would increase. It was like an exquisite elixir!

"205 million!

220 million!

230 million!"

"Derek! You wanted me to buy something right?"

Derek nodded looking at me, a smirk crept upon my face as I told him, "Then, I want that slime."

He looked at me dumbfounded, I pretty much knew that his mind had gone fully blank so I started to laugh inside.

"Master only likes expensive things." He sighed.

"300 million!" Derek shouted.

The entire auditorium fell silent, after hearing the price. Straight from 200 million, now the price was 300million!

The people in our room were staring at Derek with disdain on their faces.

The clan leaders glinted with anger in their eyes but they tried their best to calm themselves down.

The leaders looked at his father, but to their hopeful expectations, he didn't give a damn about Derek. It was like as if he had disowned him.

The leaders then signaled Jaselyn, his fiance to calm him down.

"Hey, Derek you really shouldn't waste your father's hard-earned money!" Jaselyn said in a caring voice as if she was genuinely concerned about him.

Derek looked at her with contempt and felt intensely annoyed by her.

"My master wants that slime! So nobody can buy it, and nobody can stop me!" He said in a low voice that had mana contained in it which let them all feel his emotions at the moment.

As soon as the human leaders heard about his master wanting it, there was a hint of respect for him but that overpowered the contempt they were harboring for him at the moment.

Jaselyn also kept quiet, she already knew who the master was and didn't want to show an ugly side of her.

Unfortunately for her, to me, she looked ugly from all sides.

I nodded at Derek as he looked down at the bidders who were now no longer ready to bid. For them, a bid of 300million credits was just too much.

At that moment a voice came shocking everyone in the auditorium.

"350 million credits!"

Although the price was very high, Derek didn't back down. I wondered how much money he had with him.

"355 million!" He roared!

"400 million!"

Derek gritted his teeth as he shouted, "420 million!"

There was silence in the auditorium. Most of them were happy, looking at both parties wasting their money without any care.

"450 million!"

Everyone was astounded and was waiting for Derek to announce his bid.

At that moment our VIP door opened and a servant passed a note,

"Let us have the slime. We shall forever be in your debt- The King and Queen."

"Raise it!" I told Derek.

"470 million!"

The King and Queen were a bit shocked,

"They didn't get the threat?" The king asked his Queen.

"Perhaps or else they wouldn't behave like this."

"We must get the slime, or else our future generations might not have the ability to feel mana if the mana capacity in our bloodline gets exhausted." The King told the Queen.

"Yes, however, the last item is very important too. It will be a hard blow to our budget if we buy the slime." She sighed.

The King pondered for a bit before saying, "Hmm, you are right. We can just snatch the slime away from them later. Let them win, waste their money and enjoy for now!"

"But doesn't 'Shadow' control this country and have its own army?!"

The King snorted and said with scorn.

"Do you think they can compare to us Royalties?! It should be a blessing for them to let us face slap and plunder from them!"

"470 is the bid! Any higher?!" The auctioneer asked.

Everyone was silent and looked at the King and Queen to see if they would bid higher.

Their expectations were betrayed when the King and Queen didn't reply.

"Alright then! 470 million is the final bid to higher!"

At first, the leaders were shocked when the note came, then it turned into anger because the Royal Family was immensely looking down on them.

They even offered to contribute their money to Derek to which he promptly refused.

"Congratulations! Mr.Derek Yellow!" The auctioneer congratulated them from the stage.

Derek simply nodded and then looked at me with an expectant expression. I simply nodded and pat his head.

The auctioneer smiled as she spoke,

"Alright! Ladies and Gentlemen! It is time for the final item of the night!"

The man once started to push a rolling table into the center of the stage.

I suddenly started to get vibes from the item and my ear started to hurt as I felt my earring getting heavier with every second. It had started to twitch immensely with pain but I still bore it.

Then it stopped paining, it was like as if my pain was an illusion and that the accessory was trying to give me a signal about something.

An unclaimed legacy, a legacy belonging to a God.

That is what the item should be. My dao of guessing is never wrong. I am sure of it, or else there wouldn't have been a resonance from the earring.

The auctioneer snatched the cloth away from the item. Everyone who looked at it was in a daze, everyone was literally drooling over it.

They had never seen such a beautiful thing ever before in their life. It transcended everything! It looked angelic and lustrous that could shine brighter than even the Sun.

The Auctioneer herself was in a daze as she kept gazing at the item with a look of longing for it.

She immediately snapped out of her trance remembering her job and announced with a beautiful smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen! This is the last item of the day! This is the Ring of Solomon!" She announced with amazement in her voice herself.

Everyone snapped out of their stupor. They had all heard about the Ring of Solomon, it was said to be a magical ring belonging to a human emperor, so they were all waiting for an explanation with excitement, unlike the other times when they would be bored.

The Human Emperor was a normal slave of the Demons during the time of enslavement and wars and was the first human to create his own kingdom and church, The Holy Theocracy.

However, I was aware of its true worth since I was one of the peak Celestials who knew many secrets.

The Ring of Solomon is one of the most mystic items from legends. From the legends, it is believed that it was originally a part of the All-Emperor, Mahir El Navah.

It is said that the All-Emperor, Mahir El Novah, was an invincible divine existence. He controlled everything in existence, absolutely everything.

In a way, my brother since we are both children of the universe hence surnamed El Navah.

One day the All-Emperor died suddenly, nobody knew how but before dying a part of his soul fused into many items that were near him. Then the countless fragments of the little part of his soul flew away, scattering into the many realms and worlds.

The Ring of Solomon fell into the hands of a Mage King, Solomon with what he dominated the entire celestial realm long before my birth before he transcended reality and ascended to Godhood!

The person obtaining or would be extremely lucky. After all, it was said that Solomon had heaven-defying luck.

Solomon was a Giant rather than a pure human, a Gigante to be correct. The ring contains the legacy of the Mage King, the overlord of Gigantes, Solomon.

If my speculations are right after Solomon ascended to the God Realm, his ring fell down to the Lower World and was then picked up by a human emperor.

Everyone had an urge to buy it and waited for the Auctioneer to release the bidding price.

"The bidding price starts from 700 million credits!"

They were all just amazed by the price but nevertheless, everyone wanted the ring! Even if they were to go bankrupt they wouldn't regret it! After all, they would get heaven-defying luck right?

"750 million credits!

770 million credits!

800 million credits!

850 million credits!

900 million credits!

Although even I wanted to bid on it, I had already wasted enough money on Derek and could only look at the item with amusement.

"1 billion credits!"

The bidding price kept on increasing until it reached the final bid of 3 billion. Three billion was not a meager amount, in front of three billion, the 470 million I spent is worth nothing.

"Congratulations! King and Queen!" The auctioneer announced with regret in her voice.

Although she felt happy about the 3 billion, she still did not want to let go of the ring.

The King and Queen stood up waving their hands towards the crowd while all of them looked at the two royals with jealousy and intense anger.

"Please come and collect your items at the Item Hall!" The auctioneer said with a kind voice.

After that, the lights in the auditorium slowly started to light up and many people started to exit the auditorium.

Some who won their bids were going to the Item Hall while the others who came for fun or lost despite their efforts were seen leaving.

One thing was common. This was the best moment of their lives. The Regent Auction would be something they would never forget.

Meanwhile, Derek hurried over to the Item hall to bring over the slime. There was a reason why I bought the Slime. It was not for nourishment but to make it my loyal slave.

A long time ago, my teacher the Moon-Goddess had told me something peculiar about slimes especially the ones in the God Realm.

Slimes have unlimited potential. Once upon a time, a Slime dominated the entire of God Plains and many different worlds and dimensions.

Their unique attribute, Predator, could steal another person's attributes and would mimic them to become fully like them.

People lived in fear as a Slime was hungry for power and preyed upon every powerful being to make itself stronger.

Because of him, there was a deep hatred rooted in the hearts of many. So everyone hunted slimes so that another power-hungry ruthless tyrant wouldn't be born.

Some slimes had even ascended past Primordialoty to enter Nirvana including the Slime King.

While Derek was bringing the Slime something unexpected happened.

Suddenly the entire Auction House started to shake, startling everyone present.

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

*BOOOOOOOM!!!!*

Countless people fell. Victim to bombs. Blood flowed from desecrated bodies, trickling across the marble floor.

*Drip....*

*...drop....drip.*

*.....drop.*

Blood fell on my face ever so lightly covering my silver hair red. My eyes turned to the sunken ground as it reflected the red moon, in the middle was a half-burnt body in an enforcer uniform and ears pointed.
