    <p><span style=text-indent: 1em; font-size: 18px !important; data-p-id=3 data-original-font-size=20 data-original-line-height=32>Who can stop it?</span></p>

    <p>The Lord of Plague the king of bugs.</p>

    <p>Quresha’s blessings are with Guardians.</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>[Quay uses ‘Debuff: Paralysis Poison’.]</p>

    <p>[Quay uses ‘Debuff: Sleeping Poison’.]</p>

    <p>[Quayga….]</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>Once Suho decided and started manipulating the matches the matches in the underground fighting arena began to become very biased.</p>

    <p>“What the hell!”</p>

    <p>“Why is that person suddenly limping?!”</p>

    <p>“Hmm. Looks like you sprained your ankle somewhere. After all humans are weak.”</p>

    <p>“Ah! Why is that person fighting so well that his eyes suddenly go blank!”</p>

    <p>“Hmm. I guess I had a hard time sleeping last night. After all humans are weak.”</p>

    <p>“…?”</p>

    <p>“…?”</p>

    <p>“Hmm. “Is this my victory again?”</p>

    <p>Seuuuugh.</p>

    <p>With a truly shameless if not solemn expression Suho brought all the stakes gathered on the table towards him.</p>

    <p>Looking at the bags of stardust gradually piling up in front of Suho…</p>

    <p>“This can’t be right.”</p>

    <p>The devils who lost the bet had no choice but to look devastated.</p>

    <p>In this atmosphere Suho calmly observed the situation and had a conversation with Esil.</p>

    <p>[…Surprisingly like the Colosseum they don’t make you fight until one person dies. Even a healer is prepared.]</p>

    <p>’Of course. If someone dies here rumors will spread that hunters keep going missing in Yangpyeong. Even from a black market standpoint you wouldn’t want that.’</p>

    <p>[Then what is their real purpose? Unless the corpses of the hunters who died here are used as ingredients for stardust…]</p>

    <p>’You’re doing something like this to find out right?'</p>

    <p>No matter what the demons here were all low-level demons much weaker than Suho.</p>

    <p>Nevertheless why does Su-ho take this cumbersome method instead of killing them right away?</p>

    <p>’Because even if you kill the devil you cannot extract its soul.'</p>

    <p>When dealing with demons it was not possible to kill them and then try to talk to their souls like in the case of Quay or Harmakan.</p>

    <p>So I had to create an atmosphere where I could freely share information with my mouth while keeping it as much as possible.</p>

    <p>And here’s one more thing.</p>

    <p>While the attention of the devils in the black market was increasingly focused on the gambling house Berg was actively looking for Seong Il-hwan.</p>

    <p>And then sometimes.</p>

    <p>Wagjak.</p>

    <p>“Huh? “Where did the magic stone here go?”</p>

    <p>“A thief…?!”</p>

    <p>Avoiding people’s gaze he stole the magic stones on the stand and ate them one by one.</p>

    <p>’It seems like a response is coming slowly?'</p>

    <p>Roto who was watching the situation unfold as Suho said was chewing his lip with a complicated expression.</p>

    <p>’How could this happen…'</p>

    <p>He couldn’t help but be embarrassed.</p>

    <p>Originally all hunters participating in the underground fighting arena fought against each other with similar grades and physiques without any equipment.</p>

    <p>So it was more intense and the game could be overturned even by a moment of inattention or poor physical condition.</p>

    <p>But isn’t that condition really… unfortunate?</p>

    <p>’How is it that every time Volkan predicts defeat everyone is in bad shape?'</p>

    <p>Is this really the insight of a demon noble?</p>

    <p>’No.'</p>

    <p>It’s a bit too obvious to say that but it was very outright suspicious.</p>

    <p>“Now why don’t you choose first this time too.”</p>

    <p>“….”</p>

    <p>“….”</p>

    <p>Yes.</p>

    <p>Up until now Volkan has never chosen his opponent first.</p>

    <p>It was only after all the demons had placed their stakes on both sides that the last bet was made.</p>

    <p>That too is only a reverse bet with low bets and high payouts.</p>

    <p>Very shamelessly as if he already knew the outcome of this match.</p>

    <p>The result.</p>

    <p>Now there were more than three times as many bags of stardust piled up in front of Suho than there were when he first came here.</p>

    <p>…loud.</p>

    <p>Roto gritted his teeth.</p>

    <p>’It’s clear that they’re doing something… but what is their intention?'</p>

    <p>Since a while ago Volkan was acting like he was showing off.</p>

    <p>If you’re going to cheat you should at least mix wins and losses appropriately. It’s a blatant win streak like this!</p>

    <p>But the problem is…</p>

    <p>It was true that there was no reason to pursue this first.</p>

    <p>Actually the trick was carried out here first.</p>

    <p>However even though the organizers deliberately manipulated the match even using blood poison like this the winner was always the person chosen by Volkan.</p>

    <p>’Furthermore the people who were poisoned with the photoblood poison have already been detoxified. I haven’t heard a rumor that Volkan has this ability?'</p>

    <p>Okay. At this point I had no choice but to admit it.</p>

    <p>In the first place he didn’t even have to play pranks like this he could have ripped them to pieces killed them and eaten them whenever he wanted.</p>

    <p>That made his intentions even more suspicious.</p>

    <p>’Could it be… that you came here knowing everything?'</p>

    <p>Loto’s eyes narrowed as he watched Volkan.</p>

    <p>A rumor widely known in the devil world.</p>

    <p>Volkan was originally a lowly creature who could not speak.</p>

    <p>Then by chance he picked up a leaf from the world tree and ate it and suddenly grew into a devil noble who ruled a region.</p>

    <p>That was Volkan.</p>

    <p>But in that war a half-demon nobleman who was thought to be dead suddenly appeared with the ability to create bloodstone and was even able to speak?</p>

    <p>’…It’s not just that you have language skills. Intelligence itself has increased.'</p>

    <p>He has such a deep heart that he comes here at random and instantly controls the atmosphere of the gambling hall according to his intentions.</p>

    <p>’Is Volkan still evolving?'</p>

    <p>’Did you barely survive the war because of the World Tree’s protection?'</p>

    <p>’A world tree that gave birth to rulers could do that…'</p>

    <p>A lot of thoughts are floating around in my head.</p>

    <p>At the end Lotto decided to take a step back.</p>

    <p>“Whoa. “I understand Volkan.”</p>

    <p>“…Hmm?”</p>

    <p>When Roto suddenly spoke Suho who was happily sweeping up stardust turned his head to him.</p>

    <p>“You’re saying that if we want the bloodstone we should first remove our cards.”</p>

    <p>“….”</p>

    <p>At those words Suho stared at him in silence.</p>

    <p>Roto looked at the mountain of stardust in front of Suho and smiled bitterly.</p>

    <p>“If you had thought that way you could have told me from the beginning. “Before you do such a mischievous prank.”</p>

    <p>“….”</p>

    <p>“Star piece. “Is that what you wanted from the beginning?”</p>

    <p>’Star piece?'</p>

    <p>[Star fragment?]</p>

    <p>At that moment a question mark appeared in Suho’s mind but he never showed it.</p>

    <p>Then Loto suddenly ripped off his shirt and showed Suho the blue gem implanted in the center of his chest.</p>

    <p>“That’s right. As Volkan expected our real deal is this star piece. “It is a completely different product from unfinished stardust.”</p>

    <p>[So what is a star piece?]</p>

    <p>’Well. I don’t think they would just harden stardust and show off like that.'</p>

    <p>Suho kept his expression as indifferent as possible while answering Esil.</p>

    <p>Useful information is finally starting to come out.</p>

    <p>Now it was real from now on.</p>

    <p>Suho opened his mouth in a sad voice.</p>

    <p>“It’s a star fragment… but it’s just a substitute for bloodstone.”</p>

    <p>“Hehe. Is that really the case? Seeing you say that I guess you were curious. “How good are the star pieces?”</p>

    <p>Loto stroked the star piece implanted in his chest with an infinitely proud expression.</p>

    <p>“If you came here to see the stardust necklaces that were spread among humans you are greatly mistaken. Such items are merely by-products discarded during the process of refining star fragments. Well it is useful in its own way.”</p>

    <p>’Is it useful in its own way? Are you saying that there are other functions besides the black market pass?'</p>

    <p>He maintained a relaxed attitude but now Suho’s head was spinning abnormally.</p>

    <p>“Of course we initially started our research simply to imitate bloodstone. In fact all demons can’t help but be curious. “What kind of synergy will occur when the devil’s blood is imbued with the godhead of the outer universe?”</p>

    <p>Godhead of the outer universe.</p>

    <p>It was referring to the blue fog flowing from the gate.</p>

    <p>Blue fog is magical power sent from outer space to melt the dimensional wall. In other words it was the power of foreign media.</p>

    <p>“Well that’s good.”</p>

    <p>Suho relaxedly leaned back again and gestured with his chin at the stardust piled up in front of him.</p>

    <p>“Then let’s put all of these on the line. From now on you should wear that outstanding star piece.”</p>

    <p>“Haha. That might be a little difficult. No matter how much star dust you have it cannot compare to the value of a star piece. The transaction units are different in the first place.”</p>

    <p>[Deal?]</p>

    <p>Wiggle.</p>

    <p>Esil’s voice filled with anger was heard by Suho.</p>

    <p>If this is the mindset of a nobleman Suho decided to obediently follow Esil’s heart.</p>

    <p>“…It’s a deal. That’s an interesting thing to say.”</p>

    <p>The moment when Suho smiles wickedly.</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>[Use ‘Skill: Life’.]</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>Huwaaaaagh-!</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>“…keuhgh?!”</p>

    <p>Loto had no choice but to step back with a pale complexion due to the immense vitality emanating from Suho’s whole body.</p>

    <p>The other demons were also frightened and hurriedly lowered their posture.</p>

    <p>There was also a devil who casually fell flat on the floor and bowed to Suho.</p>

    <p>“…even though the world has become like this there are some things that never change.”</p>

    <p>Suho slowly got up.</p>

    <p>And then he slowly approached Lotto with an extremely indifferent expression.</p>

    <p>“Nobility makes no deals. “I just give orders.”</p>

    <p>“….”</p>

    <p>Rumbling.</p>

    <p>Roto was so weighed down that he could not move even when the guardian’s hand touched the star fragment implanted in his chest.</p>

    <p>It felt like he was going to rip the star piece from his body with his cruel hands and chew it up at any moment.</p>

    <p>But Suho didn’t do that.</p>

    <p>If this guy dies there will be no way to find out more information.</p>

    <p>Suho said withdrawing his hand.</p>

    <p>“The reason I am now participating in the game you made is simply for entertainment. “If I was hungry…”</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>Growl.</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>At that moment all the demons in the gambling hall were startled by the sound that rang out from Suho’s stomach.</p>

    <p>’We’re in big trouble!'</p>

    <p>’Volkan is hungry!'</p>

    <p>’You’ll get eaten…!'</p>

    <p>Because Volkan the demon of greed was a huge fear to lower-level demons.</p>

    <p>But actually Suho….</p>

    <p>’Well now that I think about it I was busy today so I skipped a meal. This wasn’t my intention.'</p>

    <p>Suho who was impressed by Volkan’s method acting felt a little embarrassed.</p>

    <p>But it already happened like this.</p>

    <p>Grandpa.</p>

    <p>Suho was just trying to satisfy his appetite for no reason.</p>

    <p>“…!”</p>

    <p>At that moment Lotto had to fight his survival instinct to run away immediately even though he was the manager of the gambling house.</p>

    <p>’Oh no! If Volkan had planned to eat me I would have been dead already! Surely this devil came here with something he wanted…'</p>

    <p>Gulp.</p>

    <p>’There will be…'</p>

    <p>Volkan swallows his mouth again.</p>

    <p>’Is there…?'</p>

    <p>Volkan the devil of greed is someone who puts things in his mouth when he wants to eat them right?</p>

    <p>“Oh I understand!”</p>

    <p>Loto eventually closed his eyes and shouted.</p>

    <p>Eagerly grasping the star piece planted in his chest as if it were his lifeline.</p>

    <p>“Then how about risking a star piece and having a great warrior duel? It will definitely be good entertainment too!”</p>

    <p>“Daejeon warrior duel?”</p>

    <p>Tall.</p>

    <p>Those words instantly took away Suho’s life.</p>

    <p>“Yes. There are hunters we implanted star fragments with as an experiment! Choose one of them and become a great warrior….”</p>

    <p>“You even put star fragments on humans!”</p>

    <p>“…!”</p>

    <p>At that moment Suho’s angry hand grabbed Loto’s neck.</p>

    <p>Roto screamed in surprise as if he had been struck by lightning.</p>

    <p>“Ah it’s a shame but it was all for research on star fragments! Foreign journalists also agreed!”</p>

    <p>Tall.</p>

    <p>’I found these guys.'</p>

    <p>Moment</p>

    <p>Suho’s eyes sparkled.</p>
