After the price set by Kalt, no one was willing to pay extra to obtain the essence of Mine.
This could be said to be Kalt’s luck.
It might have been a high-performance weapon or a historical item, but there were also some that were the essence of a demon that was almost useless.
Since there were no collectors or nobles with a unique hobby of collecting the Demon’s Essence, and at the same time, no one was willing to deliberately spend more money out of a useless desire to win, Kalt was able to obtain the Demon’s Essence right away.
After the auction ended, Kalt thought as he received Mine’s essence from the employee.
‘Why did I buy it?’
If you think about it objectively, why did you really buy it?
I spent up to 15 million molds to make sure it was completed.
However, the satisfaction felt the moment one held the essence of the demon was considerable.
Did he actually have a hobby of collecting hidden essence?
It was to the point where I even thought about that.
‘No, that’s not it.’
This was not the first time Kalt had seen the essence of Mine.
During the Maybelle Party, Kalt also defeated Mine.
Of course, I defeated the demon and obtained the essence.
However, when Kalt saw the essence, he did not feel that he wanted it or that he had to keep it.
In the first place, I felt bad about keeping it since it was the essence of a demon, so I quickly took it to the guild and cashed it out.
However, just owning the essence that was now in Kalt’s hands gave him a sense of satisfaction.
‘What really happened?’
“Hey… Mr. Kalt.”
Nellis asked carefully, just in time to leave the auction house.
“Why did you buy the Demon’s Essence? Isn’t the Demon’s Essence really useful?”
It was a reasonable question.
Even the young hero Nellis knew that the essence of the demon was not very useful.
Scarlett and Aria also looked at Kalt with questioning eyes.
Kalt first responded honestly to that gaze.
“Um… just?”
“Just like that?”
“For some reason, my senses told me I had to get this. So I bought it.”
“Are you saying it’s because of intuition?”
“That’s right. To be honest, this is my first time doing this, but it was a reasonable price, so I followed my intuition.”
“Well, 15 million molds is a reasonable price. Ka, Mr. Kalt is rich….”
“Haha, you too, Nellis. You too will earn enough from this. Well, it doesn’t mean that the Demon’s Essence is completely useless. Rather, you can use this opportunity to buy another magic tool and use it.”
“A magic tool?”
“Yes. Do you know that? When cooking, it is important to maintain the fire temperature above a certain level. A campfire is good, but controlling the fire using a magic tool is more convenient and stable. I originally didn’t buy it because it was a bit cumbersome, but… You can also try buying a portable campfire magic tool. I wish.”
Portable campfire.
It was a magic tool that looked similar to a portable burner in Kalt’s past life memories.
Of course, mana was needed to create fire, so it was a magic tool that could be activated by injecting mana or separately inserting a magic stone.
“Are you intentionally buying magic tools to utilize the essence of the demon?”
“Isn’t it better to use what you have instead of keeping it for ornamental purposes?”
“That’s true….”
“Kalt, if you see the essence of Mine, do you plan to buy it again next time?”
Kalt shook his head in response to Aria’s question.
“No, I just felt that way after seeing this demon’s essence. I have no intention of having another demon’s essence. Don’t worry, there’s no need to worry about spending any more money than this.”
“I see.”
As it was already lunchtime when they left the auction house, Nellis Party decided to first go to a store near the auction house, finish their meal, and then have some free time.
Since Kalt had nowhere else to go, he returned to the inn room and sat on the bed, staring blankly at the essence of the demon he had bought.
“Really, why did I buy this?”
It was a time when I was tilting my head and wondering that question.
My heart suddenly started pounding, and magical power began to creep from the essence of the demon, which must have been ordinary.
and.
[Ah, the magical power I miss!]
“…!”
A voice came from Kalt’s head.
Kalt, who decided that this was a situation that could not be left alone, lightly threw the essence upward and then swung his sword to cut it down.
However.
[I never thought I would meet my compatriot after so many years.]
Hearing the voice that followed, Kalt’s movements came to a screeching halt just before he cut into his essence.
‘A fellow countryman?’
That was something that couldn’t be ignored.
[Well, what is it? Were you really trying to cut that thing just now?! Huh, I almost got into big trouble. I finally woke up and almost disappeared.]
Meanwhile, in the Essence of Mine, words mixed with confusion came out as if Kalt had only realized late that he was about to cut the Essence.
“What are you? Tell me.”
[Luckily, it looks like you have an intention to talk, fellow countryman.]
“I’m talking about someone of the same race. I’m not a demon, I’m a human.”
[Ha ha ha ha ha! Well, you could say that! First of all, instead of throwing it on the floor like this, why don’t you raise it up?]
“….”
Without letting down his guard, Kalt picked up Mine’s essence and placed it in a small drawer next to the bed.
And without taking his hand off the knife, he was ready to cut at any time.
“So why am I of your own race? Both of my parents are human.”
[Yes, I guess so. But you are like a compatriot to me. As proof, my words are being heard like this. furthermore… Didn’t you feel it too? The feeling of ownership and elation that arises when you see the essence.]
That was certainly the feeling Kalt felt when he saw the essence.
However, that did not mean that Kalt could admit that he was of the same race as the Majin.
Still, it felt uncomfortable to just ignore it and cut it down right away.
“Whatever that means.”
[I guess I can’t admit it easily. Okay, then I will explain it to you.]
The voice coming from Mine’s essence spoke to Kalt with a smile full of laughter.
[The blood of a demon is flowing in you. To be exact, your ancestor is the descendant of a child born from a relationship with a demon of the same lineage as mine!]
“My ancestors have demon blood mixed in?”
[okay! That’s why I was able to wake up. The blood of the evil spirit that dwells in you. That unique magical power woke me up.]
“Hmm?”
Hmm.
They were people who could be said to be a special species among demons.
While other demons mainly focused on killing and massacring humans, Eumma was a demon that specialized in manipulating people by corrupting them by inducing them into lust.
In some ways, demons are hated more than other demons because they corrupt and manipulate fellow humans.
That was the eumma.
“I can’t believe I’m a slut….”
Kalt tried to deny it, but there was something that made sense.
The hypnotic ability you have.
And the total amount of mana increases slightly after having sex.
What if this is the effect of Yinma’s blood?
Kalt did not deny it right away, but first spoke to Jeongsu to confirm whether his guess was correct.
“Is there any other proof that I have demon blood? You could just react with any magical power and deceive me, right?”
[Ha ha ha ha ha! Looks like you don’t want to admit it! okay! If you don’t want to admit it, I’ll tell you so you have no choice but to admit it!]
Jeongsoo smiled confidently and spoke to Kalt.
[From what I feel, you… It’s not a pity.]
“okay.”
[Have you ever heard of it? He says he has much more energy than other people! That’s because the blood of the demon is at work.]
“No, it would be ridiculous to say something about that. I have energy and stamina, so of course I will have it.”
[Yes, I guess so! but… Didn’t your mana increase after you fucked the girl? That is the privilege that Onma has! This is thanks to the characteristic of being able to absorb the energy of the opponent released when feeling pleasure and convert it into mana.]
“….”
[Looking at the silence, I guess this is the right answer!]
Jeong Soo’s voice pointed out a phenomenon that was so specific that it was questionable why the number of Kalts had increased recently.
[That’s not all!]
Jeongsu’s voice then spoke about the characteristics of those who inherited Eumma’s blood.
A sturdy object that you are born with, intuition that naturally finds the partner’s erogenous zone during sex, energy that elicits sexual desire, etc., and a body that becomes healthier and stronger the more it absorbs not only mana but also energy, etc.
Jeongsoo’s voice confidently listed the characteristics so that Kalt could not deny it.
but.
‘Why don’t you talk about hypnosis?’
Perhaps the ability that can be said to be the most confident characteristic.
As for hypnotic abilities, Jeongsoo’s voice didn’t mention anything at all.
[How is it? Are you still going to deny it?]
“I can’t… deny it.”
That’s why Kalt decided to listen to Jeongsoo’s voice.
[Yes, I guess so! Ha ha ha ha ha!]
“I have a question.”
[What?]
“According to rumors, it is said that Eumma manipulates people and treats them as if they were her servants… Is it true that Eumma has the ability to hypnotize and control others?”
[huh? iced coffee. I guess it spread that way among humans. ha ha ha! That’s really funny! Hypnosis!]
Jeongsoo’s voice laughed.
[There’s no way something like that could happen! That was simply making them slaves of pleasure and giving them orders. Humans are so funny! They easily betray their own people for the pleasure we provide!]
‘indeed.’
Kalt was convinced by the essence’s voice.
Regardless of one’s bloodline, the ability to hypnotize is just a unique ability.
