“….”

“….”

There was a strange atmosphere in the black market gambling hall.

The exciting atmosphere of pitting humans against each other and making bets is no longer there.

The demons in the VIP room were now focused on the suddenly appeared demon nobleman Volkan without paying any attention to the game.

’Oh my god. Volkan was alive.'

’A true devil noble….'

’If I can learn how to make bloodstone I too can become a demon noble…'

Numerous glances at Volkan no Suho.

Pure desire clearly felt within it.

The raw and blatant emotion of seeking power was like gluttony for demons.

However even in this thin ice atmosphere Suho himself was still watching the underground fight in a relaxed manner.

It looks like a lion lying down in the middle of the jungle enjoying the sun.

It looked like the dignified appearance of a true demon noble. At least in the eyes of other demons.

[Is it really okay if this happens?]

’What?'

[Is there really a need to take such risks?]

Esil was already worried.

[Don’t forget. The reason our family was destroyed was because of the rebellion of low-level demons. Right now seeing the bloodstone in front of you may be a bit scary but they might attack you at any moment and threaten to eat you.]

’Yes that’s it. I’ve always been curious about this…'

Suho still looked around the underground fighting arena with a relaxed gaze and asked Esil.

’How on earth were low-level demons able to exterminate your family in a demon world with such a clear hierarchy based on power?'

[That’s because we are so outnumbered…]

’Are you sure? Is that really possible?'

[…What do you want to say now?]

Esil was a little upset.

What Suho was saying just now sounded like he was blaming the Radir family for being so bad that they were eaten by these low-level demons.

But Suho’s words are not over yet.

’I’ve become quite a bit stronger than before right? So I realized it in a tangible way…'

As Suho’s gaze swept over the demons around him the demons who caught his gaze flinched.

’…No matter how many times these guys attack me I don’t think I’ll ever lose.'

Suho’s eyes became cold.

Like a male lion looking at a flock of hundreds of sheep.

[What do you want to say? Could it be Itarim? Are you saying that Italim would have already been behind the lesser demons from then on?]

’Doesn’t that make more sense? Rather than saying that low-level demons preyed on demon nobles?'

Suho was almost certain.

It was already like that during the time of the Glow-Blooded Demons and demons were the perfect race to become Italim’s slaves in the first place.

They are souls whose mana is polluted so even the Shadow Power does not work on them.

From the Italim point of view is there any race better than this to deal with the Shadow Legion?

[…for sure.]

Esil could only nod his head at Suho’s persuasive words.

’Okay then.'

Suho smiled meaningfully and opened the inventory.

’From now on let’s get rid of everything from these guys.'

Chin.

“I bet on that person.”

Loto suddenly accepted the stardust package Suho gave him and couldn’t help but be taken aback by its heaviness.

“Volkan are you really planning on buying this much in one round?”

“Then why not?”

“It’s not a problem under the rules but if the stakes get higher other guests must also agree…”

At Roto’s words Suho’s eyes quickly glanced at the other demons.

Then even though they didn’t say anything the demons nodded their heads in a hurry.

“I also agree.”

“Hmm. That kind of stake is a burden…”

As expected of demons with a strict hierarchy honorifics were automatically coming out of Suho’s mouth from the moment he saw him using the bloodstone.

Loto smiled bitterly at that sight.

’This… is not good.'

After all the nobles disappeared the demon world became a truly equal society.

Of course it was a bit far from the democracy people talk about.

A fair world where everyone can eat and be eaten by each other equally.

The weak are eaten and even the strong as soon as they see a weakness are bitten in the neck to bleed.

In this hellish chaos the devils were scrambling to create a new order.

One of the representative orders was the black market.

’…But suddenly a demon noble who was thought to be extinct appeared?'

Now just as a new order was about to be established the old order suddenly returns.

But I couldn’t help it.

I have already seen him make bloodstone right in front of me.

And since he gave the possibility to teach everyone here how to make bloodstone…

’Both psychologically and realistically the relationship has become absolute A and B.'

Proper gambling could not take place like this.

And the alarm that Lotto felt immediately became reality.

“…Hmm. Then I will also bet on Volkan-nim as a giant human.”

“Even in my eyes that person looks stronger.”

“Then me too….”

The demons rush to the same side as Volkan and begin to place bets.

No demon was willing to stand on the other side of Volkan.

In the end the bet was lost.

Loto smoothed his itchy forehead and sighed.

“Guests the game cannot start if everyone bets on the same side.”

But these words had no effect.

“Still in my judgment I think that person will win so what can I do?”

“No problem.”

“Furthermore we cannot doubt the insight of Volkan a demon nobleman.”

“….”

Loto internally gritted his teeth as he looked at the demons who shamelessly shrugged their shoulders as if asking what was the problem.

It was that time.

“Tsk. “It’s not fun.”

Suho who was leisurely watching the scene from behind suddenly clicked his tongue briefly.

Then he muttered softly with a faint smile on his lips.

“Hmm. I think it might get a little more fun like this.”

And.

A shocking declaration suddenly came out of his mouth.

“I will teach the recipe for making bloodstone to the person who wins the most stardust from me here.”

…?!

That moment.

The stiff eyes of the demons were filled with astonishment.

And then an enormous desire began to boil over.

“Are you serious about what you just said?!”

“No of course I don’t doubt Volkan’s words but…!”

“Now wait a minute! Customers! Please calm down…!”

Loto tried his best to calm the heat of the demons but the atmosphere had already become a mess.

But Volkan’s offer was so fascinating that even Lotto himself became greedy.

“Now it’s going to be a bit more fun.”

Suho seemed to like this heated atmosphere and opened his inventory.

And chin chin chin.

“…!”

“…?!”

Huge stakes.

Suho who had bags of stardust piled up on the table said with a meaningful smile.

“Then let’s start the game.”

Oh oh oh oh-!

…and thus began the gamble of a lifetime for the devils.

***

What does it take to win at gambling here?

Great luck?

Huge stakes?

Or is it just great insight?

’No.'

In fact the demons were confident of defeating Volkan.

Underground fighting arena.

This was not simply a place to watch and fight humans.

After all they are only VIPs here.

In fact the real guests here or the hawks were human guests.

Wow!

Bandstands surrounding the VIP room.

There hunters using the black market gathered to predict the outcome and bet money.

The odds of winning are actually 5 to 5.

An extremely simple bet that either you win or lose someone is sure to win.

But that was only a superficial win rate.

What kind of place is this gambling place in the first place?

It makes you think you can win money and then narrowly loses money making you unable to get out of it.

That is the mechanism of the gambling house.

’The game can be manipulated as much as you like.'

The moment he heard Volkan’s shocking declaration Lotto had to do his best to hold back the sneer that blatantly appeared on his lips.

And secretly gave instructions to the servants in the underground fighting arena.

’Use light blood poison.'

Nod.

Looking at the demon servants nodding their heads Loto secretly smiled meaningfully.

For this very reason the floor of the gambling hall was dug up to create an underground fighting arena.

The VIP room and the underground fighting arena were quite far away so it was not a problem to fool the devils and play tricks on the competitors.

’No matter how demonic aristocrats are they can’t detect the light blood poison from this distance.'

After ordering his servants to properly manipulate the game without being noticed Lotto came and sat down next to Volkan with a friendly smile.

Volkan looked at him as if it was amusing.

“Are you planning on participating in gambling yourself?”

“Yes. This rarely happens but honestly what devil wouldn’t be greedy when there’s a bloodstone on the line? Oh don’t worry too much. Even though I am the manager here the people who participate in the underground fighting arena change all the time.”

“Are you saying there is no way to rig matches?”

“Yes.”

Roto smiles at Suho’s words and adds his stake to the table.

He tried to remain calm but his eyes were already burning with ambition.

“I will learn how to make bloodstone.”

“Well it’s good to be honest.”

On the other hand Suho chuckled cast his gaze back to the underground fighting arena and muttered.

“Yes this is also entertainment.”

It was that time.

[The Lord of Plague the king of bugs smells the light blood poison and takes a sip.]

’As expected he uses light blood poison.'

Suho chuckled and muttered to himself when he heard Queresha’s message just in time.

’Decode Quresha.'

Then.

[Debuffs ‘debuff: light blood poison’.]

The poison disappeared from the hunter who was poisoned with light blood poison by the demonic servants.

’Ber.'

[Did you call me?]

’We use it too.'

[Kihehe.]

Hearing Suho’s words Ver’s meaningful eyes lit up and he secretly went down to the underground fighting arena.

And.

Ber hid in the shadow of the hunter whom Suho had bet on.

Coincidentally…

This hunter was a hunter with the Beast Transformation skill who had become broke earlier.

[Berga uses ‘Skill: Harsh Command’.]

[‘Skill: Harsh Command’ increases the target’s abilities by 50%.]

[As a side effect of ‘Skill: Harsh Command’ the target is cursed with madness.]

“…Crrrrrrr.”

His eyes gradually turned into madness.
