My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Double trouble

"Yeah." Estelia didn't seem to think much about it, as she was focused entirely on the last item of the auction, which was about to be revealed.

This was the item that almost everyone was here for, an item that appeared in Hell only rarely.

The last time this item appeared in Hell, it led to bloodshed and a lot of chaos. This was the second time an item like this had appeared, and, moreover, through the auction house.

Eren took advantage of her distraction and started to leave. He opened the door, but before he could step out, a system screen appeared, which again made him almost punch the wall.

[Option One: Take the last item of the Auction for yourself before the bidding is over.

Reward: A Question Voucher]

[Option Two: Let the last item of the auction be taken by someone else.

Reward: Luck -50]

There were only two options that appeared before him, creating a rare sight as there were normally four options before him. This time, his choices were severely limited.

He had to either take that item forcefully or let it go to someone else. It didn't matter who took that item; as long as it wasn't him, it was a failure.

If he didn't have to complete it before the auction was over, he might have tried to have Estelia win that item and stolen it from her, even that counted as a failure as per this system.

His luck was already bad in this world, and on top of that, he was threatened with even lower luck? At this rate, he felt like his back was truly against a wall.

Not only did he have to kill Lenniel to protect his identity, but he also had to take the last item of the auction even though he didn't have a single spirit stone.

Even though he didn't like either of the options, there was only one that made sense.

"If I die during this, then I will keep haunting you for an eternity," Eren told the system screen, as he selected the first option.

He was already going to kill someone inside the Auction House, which was filled with Primordial Demons. And now, he had to steal something from the Auctioneer, which was the main attraction of the entire auction.

He took a deep breath, before stepping out of the room.

"It seems the extra life that I saved might be spent finally," he mumbled, before closing the door. Instead of going in the direction of the toilet, he went towards the depths of the Auction House.

"For the last item, we have something that can only be called a treasure of the universe. An item like this had only appeared once in this world. I'm sure I don't need to tell you the kind of value this holds."

The Auctioneer clapped once, and the Manager of the Auction House personally stepped on the stage, holding a tray that was covered with a red cloth.

The entire state was surrounded by the guards that belonged to the Auction House, and the entire place had suddenly become on high alert.

The manager removed the cloth covering the tray, revealing a fist sized black crystal. The crystal seemed extremely ordinary at first glance, but if one was to look at it carefully, they could see that there was something sealed within that small crystal.

"For the last item of our grand item, we present to you, the Portal Stone of the Upper World!" The Auctioneer exclaimed.

Even though many people were already told about the item in advance, they still failed to control their surprised expressions when the item finally appeared.

This was an item that was extremely precious. Its value was something that should've been described in monetary terms.

Hell was connected to multiple words, but most of them were lower or middle Worlds. There was not a single portal that could open a passage to the Upper Realm!

That's where this stone was useful. Even though temporarily, that stone could open a portal in hell that connected to the Upper Realm. As for which of the upper worlds it connected, it didn't matter. All upper worlds were lands of gods.

The last time an upper world portal stone had been discovered, there was a lot of bloodshed. In the end, many Primordials had died in the battle and the one that finally ended up with the portal stone, used it to leave Hell and enter that upper world.

This was the second time something like this had appeared, and no primordial wanted to lose it. In fact, many of them had thought about robbing the portal stone before the date of auction, but things weren't as simple.

There were many eyes on the Auction House. If any of them even tried something like that, the other Primordials were going to get involved. It was going to lead to the same disaster as the last time, which could lead to the death of weaker primordials.

That's why, the Primordials came to agree on a single rule. Instead of brute force, they were going to use civilised means. It was only to the disadvantage of the First Primordial, who was the strongest. But since the other Primordials were on the same side, the First Primordial also agreed.

All the Primordials had gathered almost all their wealth and treasures, for this one auction. And no one could go against the rules.

Only the winner of the bid was allowed to use the portal stone, a law that was established through a forceful oath treasure that tied all Primordials, even the strongest.

It ensured that no one tried to steal it after the auction was over, at least none amongst the Primordials. It was also why the strongest primordials didn't come here personally, since there was no chance for anything going wrong.

"Hundred Million Spirit Stones!" Estelia didn't even give the man a chance to explain or hype the treasure before making the first bid.
