Suho was guided by the devils and entered the black market gambling hall.

As I heard from the outside the gambling taking place here was not of the type such as hwatu or poker.

“Aaaah!”

“Die! Die!”

A large underground fighting arena filled with the smell of blood and sweat.

There two hunters with all their equipment removed were engaged in a desperate struggle.

Seeing the venom and evil expressions in the eyes I could clearly see what the situation was.

“Hehe. Doesn’t it look really exciting? “They are all people who jump in to repay their gambling debt.”

Esil’s cynical voice was heard as the gatekeeper demon who was guiding Suho spoke while laughing.

[Tsk. What are low-level demons….]

Now that all the demon nobles with absolute status have disappeared.

The lower-level demons living scattered here and there seemed to be anxious to imitate the demon nobles.

’At least the last time in the demon world they made the same demons fight each other but here they are fighting among humans and they just watch.'

In an instant a cool light passed through Suho’s eyes.

Suho also knew well about the Colosseum duel a culture of demonic nobles.

Haven’t you ever participated in a battle as a demonic gladiator yourself?

But somehow this time I found myself in the opposite position.

After a while Suho arrived at what looked like a terrace with the best view of the underground fighting arena.

“This is the VIP room. This is a space where humans cannot enter so you will be able to watch comfortably. If you want to join the game please call us anytime.”

“Sure.”

Suho sat on the soft sofa and looked around in a relaxed manner.

In the VIP room several demons who were watching the underground fighting arena were sitting first.

Their appearance was almost the same but their faces were covered with a crow mask and a stardust necklace was worn around their necks.

However from the moment Suho entered the VIP room their attention was focused on Suho not on the underground fight.

“Hoo. “It’s someone I haven’t seen before.”

“Are you a new customer?”

“The horns are really… cool.”

Horn.

Their interest was focused solely on Volkan’s horns that sprouted from Suho’s head.

Eyes full of curiosity.

A servile look mixed with fear.

Beyond fear even looks filled with awe.

Beyond the crow masks that covered their faces complex emotions toward Suho were clearly felt.

But no one was willing to come forward and talk to Suho first.

[It’s a natural reaction.]

Esil explained.

[Volkan’s horns are completely different now than when you were a gladiator.]

Originally Volkan was a clumsy nobleman who could not produce bloodstone the gourmet meal of demon nobles.

That is why he was a devil who ate more of his own people than any other noble.

Even when he died and only his horns were left he must have been anxious to eat the souls of other demons.

So it is invisible to the human eyes of Suho but it is visible to the eyes of the same demons.

This terrible and greedy demonic energy glows from the horn of Volkan who has feasted on demonic souls.

’…That’s terrible.'

’How many of my fellow countrymen do I have to eat to get this kind of energy?'

’Couldn’t he have eaten all the demons in his factory?'

Even though they didn’t say it out loud the thoughts that the devils in the VIP room had while looking at Suho were almost the same.

It was that time.

“Tsk.”

Suho suddenly clicked his tongue and woke them up.

“The place to see must be over there.”

I flinch.

The demons suddenly came to their senses after hearing those words and then their expressions became embarrassed and they withdrew their gaze from Suho.

But not everyone was like that.

“I’m sorry if this was rude in the first meeting. It’s because everyone is happy to see you. I don’t know if you know this but this is also a place to make new friends.”

Suddenly a devil came up to Suho and spoke to him in a friendly way.

It looked similar to the others but when I looked closer there was one difference.

’There’s no necklace…'

[Could it be the organizer of this place?]

Suho and Esil had a quick conversation.

Meanwhile the devil who came closer opened his mouth again with an awkward smile when Suho just looked at him without responding.

“Haha you are a bit quiet. So let me introduce myself first. “My name is ‘Loto’ and I am in charge of running this gambling hall.”

[It’s not a demonic name. I think it’s either a devil with no name to begin with or a roughly made-up pseudonym.]

Suho thought for a moment while listening to Esil’s explanation.

’Hmm. What should I do?'

This devil named Loto was now asking for his identity straight away.

Since the other person was an alias anyway it didn’t matter if they said anything about their name.

But you won’t be able to find out anything that way.

If you just avoid it time will just pass slowly.

“My name is.”

Suho finally opened his mouth.

“It’s Volkan.”

…!

That moment.

The eyes of all the demons in the VIP room widened and looked at Suho in horror.

[Is it Suho?]

Even Esil called out to Suho in a voice that was clearly embarrassed.

“…I think it’s a bit dangerous to use a pseudonym.”

“It’s a pseudonym….”

Suho looked directly into Loto’s eyes with a smile as if he had heard something really interesting.

Roto’s expression which had been smiling friendly the whole time became stiff.

Suho chuckled and instead asked him back.

“Why do I need to use a pseudonym?”

“…It is known that there are no demon nobles left in this world.”

“I guess it’s other demon nobles.”

“Volkan… are you saying you are not?”

During the short conversation with Suho Loto’s eyes were getting colder.

Similarly other demons were focusing their tremendous efforts on Suho.

But there were too many strong people that Suho had faced so far to be weighed down by such mediocre life.

Rather Suho crossed his legs in a more relaxed posture and leaned back on the sofa.

Then he slowly raised one hand and reached out to the gatekeeper demon who was standing next to him and called out to Eshil in his heart.

’Is it possible to use Essil bloodstone?'

[I don’t know what you’re thinking but Volkan… I get it for now.]

I don’t know what Suho had in mind but I obediently accepted his request.

Anyway all I had to do was destroy this place jump out or fight.

Seaaaaaa-

“…Huh?!”

Suddenly black blood began to be forcibly drawn from the gatekeeper demon’s body following the guardian’s hand.

All the demons who witnessed this had no choice but to jump up from their seats with expressions of astonishment.

The devil’s blood that had just been extracted from Suho’s hand began to clump up and turn into black bloodstone.

“Tongue bloodstone?!”

“It’s bloodstone!”

“Oh my God! A real demon noble?!”

That moment.

Suho radiated vitality from his whole body with good timing.

[Use ‘Skill: Life’.]

“…!”

Cgugugugugugugugu-!

As Suho’s murderous spirit went beyond the VIP room and filled the entire gambling hall the demons had no choice but to instinctively lower their bodies or step back.

A bloodstone that appeared before their eyes and an incredible killing power that surpassed their own energy.

When these two combinations came together even Lotto who confidently appeared in front of Suho could not help but turn pale.

“This can’t be right….”

“No way it’s really Volkan….”

“It looks different….”

“Possession of humans….”

’Hmm. Good reaction.'

Suho and Esil had a conversation in their minds while listening to mutterings under their breath from all directions.

[What is the real intention….]

’What is your intention? I’m playing real noble in front of people who are playing noble.'

[You know. Volkan was a nobleman who could not make bloodstone. They probably know this too.]

’Yes. That’s why it has meaning.'

Suho smiled faintly and withdrew his deadly force.

Then he turned his gaze back to Lotto and asked.

“How about it? Was this a bit persuasive?”

At that question Lotto erased the embarrassed expression on his face and tried to answer Suho’s words calmly.

“I was really surprised. “It’s real bloodstone.”

His eyes were still focused on the bloodstone in Suho’s hand.

I couldn’t believe it when I saw it.

But no matter how you look at it isn’t it ‘real’?

That made it even more confusing.

“But… I understand that Volkan was originally unable to make bloodstone.”

“It was like that. But once I figured it out it wasn’t that difficult.”

“…It’s not difficult?”

Roto’s eyes widen at those words.

Moment

Incredible greed spread across the eyes of all the demons here.

Suho’s words were enough to arouse the desires of the devils.

Why did the devils develop stardust in the first place?

Isn’t it because they want to imitate the bloodstone which is the unique power of nobles?

Bloodstone is the proof and proof of existence of true nobility.

Only by being able to create bloodstone could demons grow their power more efficiently and become nobles.

And furthermore only by becoming a true noble would one be eligible to become the successor to Baran Lord of White Flame the king of demons who is now dead.

But you can now make bloodstone?

And ‘Volkan’ who was looked down on by his fellow nobles because he could not make bloodstone for an incredibly long time?

At this point it no longer mattered to the demons here whether Suho was the real Volkan or not.

“Are you sure you learned how to make bloodstone yourself?”

“Why? Do you want to learn?”

“…!”

Roto’s eyes are so wide that they pop out.

Now every time something came out of Suho’s mouth the demons’ expressions were changing moment by moment.

Looking at those reactions Esil muttered as if he was fed up.

[You really are…]

But everyone…

No anyone even demons….

When someone tells you what you want to hear you want to believe it.

Roto stammered and asked Suho.

“Can I learn to ship?”

[No no. I can’t learn. absoluteness. Bloodstone is….]

“There’s nothing you can’t learn.”

[You fraudster.]

Esil’s words rang out in his ears and Suho held his weight as much as possible and talked to Lotto in a serious and sincere voice.

And then suddenly.

“But.”

I flinch.

’But?'

’But what?'

At first boundaries.

What happens next is shock and fear.

Now the devils are listening to Suho’s every word…

Suho spoke leisurely leaning back on the sofa enjoying the attention of the devils who were excessively focused on him.

“Wasn’t this a gambling place? If you came here to gamble let’s have some fun.”

“Now wait a minute. Mr. Volkan…!”

Gambling isn’t important right now…!

Kwasik.

At that moment Suho crushed the bloodstone he was holding with his fingers.

’Ah…!'

The demons looked anxiously at the sight of the bloodstone turning into pastry powder and scattering from Suho’s hand.
