Chapter 1665 – 1665. God’S Atlantis
After a little time, the rotational force naturally disappeared.
I quickly swam and climbed out of the lake. The lake, which had been so clear and blue, was now polluted with the blood and flesh of the Imoogi. I didn’t want to stay there for even a second longer.
“Master!! You are amazing! Master!!”
Okto hopped up and down in place, making a fuss. It wasn’t genuine admiration. It was acting to survive. I was quite pleased. After all, flattery is just acting. Okto knew his place quite well.
“Imoogi. It was nothing special.”
“Aren’t you going to take the Imoogi’s corpse? Master.”
I turned my head. The mangled corpse of the Imoogi hadn’t disappeared. That corpse was the reward.
“Too much trouble.”
“They say the Imoogi’s meat is delicious and good for spirits.”
“You damn rabbit! Are you ignoring my virility right now?!”
“No! No! Master!!”
Okto said urgently. I ignored the rabbit’s outburst and plopped down nearby.
‘I was a little tempted by the talk about virility…’
I was too tired to move.
I was exhausted from using the power of the Rotation Dragon.
And this wouldn’t be the only reward.
‘It’s a hidden dungeon. There’s something here. I can’t just catch the Imoogi and go back. Okto is good at finding paths, so if I use him well…’
A notification window appeared in front of me. Fortunately, it seemed I wouldn’t need to move around with Okto to find the hidden rewards.
「The essence of Mount Wol fills the Moon Lake.」
「The energy suppressed by the Imoogi is released.」
「The barrier with the outside world is lifted.」
「A rabbit merchant appears.」
The space cracked open, and a rabbit with a large backpack popped out.
The rabbit looked around, then looked back and forth between me and Okto.
“Oh, my. There was a fellow of my kind here. But you’re not my customer. Human over there, nice to meet you, I’m the rabbit merchant, Roto!”
At this point, it was impossible not to know what the reward of the hidden area was. The reward of this hidden area was to use the rabbit merchant’s shop.
‘Not bad.’
I grumbled for no reason, but I couldn’t stop the corners of my mouth from turning up. It wasn’t just not bad, it was lucky. Special merchants you meet in hidden areas like this sell special items. If you met one, you hit the jackpot. Of course, only if you had a lot of AP.
“Lotto.”
“It’s Roto!”
“Yeah. Lotto. What kind of items do you sell? If you sell trash, I might be disappointed and kill you.”
“Y-you’re a scary person. But don’t worry! I’m a merchant who sells items that are perfect for my customers!”
“How is that possible?”
“I’m a subcontractor of the System!”
I was immediately convinced.
‘That means he’s directly connected to the System. He’s top-tier among special merchants. I hit the Lotto.’
I desperately tried to stop the corners of my mouth from turning up.
“If I come here again, can I meet you?”
“No. I’m a special merchant who only appears a few times a year. You can’t meet me unless you’re lucky. The fact that you met me means you’re lucky. It’s not easy to meet me with ordinary luck! Haha!”
The rabbit merchant laughed cheerfully.
That meant my luck stat had an effect. My luck was a bit high.
I approached Lotto. If the System was behind the rabbit merchant, it was impossible to kill him and take his items.
“Show me the items first.”
“Here they are.”
Lotto wiggled his rabbit ears and shook his short legs.
A notification window appeared in front of me. The items that could be purchased from the rabbit merchant were listed in a row.
「Blood-Stained Robe (S) – 800,000 AP
Demon Summoning Scroll (SS) – 2,000,000 AP
Lightning Dash (C) – 150,000 AP
Pretense (A) – 1,780,000 AP
Map with a Hidden Alchemist’s Elixir (B) – 400,000 AP
Fate of the Demon King (SSS) – 66,666,666 AP
…….」
Expensive items and skills were listed in a row. All of these items were related to me in some way. The Blood-Stained Robe (S) at the top had a bonus when using magic.
‘S-rank is not a low rank at all.’
Ordinary exiles would jump at the chance to get an A-rank item or skill.
‘But will this help me?’
I was already receiving a bonus for the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.
That was the trait Heavenly Demon Body (S) and the skill Heavenly Demon Divine Art (SSS).
‘Will this robe synergize with the Heavenly Demon Divine Art as much as the Heavenly Demon Body?’
Of course not. The Heavenly Demon Body was a trait for the Heavenly Demon Divine Art. And the robe and the Heavenly Demon Body had different directions.
‘My Heavenly Demon Divine Art has reached its limit. Even if I get an additional bonus from the robe, will it make a big difference?’
It wouldn’t go up to EX rank just because I got a bonus.
I passed over the Blood-Stained Robe (S). It didn’t appeal to me much.
‘Since it’s blood-stained, it’ll probably smell like blood.’
Next, what caught my eye was the SSS-rank trait.
Fate of the Demon King (SSS) – 66,666,666 AP.
It was a trait that increased all stats. There was also an additional explanation that I could become a Demon King.
‘The explanation is short and vague compared to the rank. This is a jackpot, I don’t even need to look.’
I wanted to buy it, but I didn’t have enough AP. I was way too short.
「Current AP: 12,410,197」
‘I have a lot of AP… but the Fate of the Demon King (SSS) is way too expensive.’
There wouldn’t be many humans who could buy that. I shook off my lingering feelings and checked the other items.
While scanning through the items, a peculiar item caught my eye.
「Black Tortoise Condom (A) – 50,000 AP」
There was a condom. And it was an A-rank condom.
「Black Tortoise Condom
Wearing the condom grants extreme defense.
Rank: A」
“What kind of bullshit item is this?”
I muttered in disbelief, and the rabbit merchant’s eyes sparkled.
“Ah, about that item, just by wearing the condom, you can have defense comparable to the Black Tortoise! The downside is that it’s disposable, but the upside is that it can withstand most attacks! It might even withstand the Azure Dragon’s breath!”
“I will never wear a condom.”
「Rope of Sensuality (S) – 1,500,000 AP
Cleansing Liquid (A) – 50,000 AP
Succubus Whip (A) – 700,000 AP
Rabbit Fur Restraints (B) – 120,000 AP
Rabbit Ears of Lust (SS) – 2,500,000 AP
…….」
The names alone were unusual. Lotto, the rabbit merchant who saw the list, also widened his eyes. Lotto took a step back for no reason, creating a slight distance.
“T-this list isn’t something I decide! These are items that the System sells to match the customer!”
“The System knows me well.”
I slowly looked through the adult items.
There wasn’t a single one that I didn’t like.
There were two that I especially liked. One was the Rope of Sensuality (S). It could adjust the sensitivity of the restrained target from 2 to 100.
‘And the Rabbit Ears of Lust.’
「Rabbit Ears of Lust.
Wearing the rabbit ears causes lust.
Rank: SS」
A weak effect for an SS rank. One might think that.
‘The rank is determined by the System. If the System gave it a high rank of SS, there must be a reason.’
And it wasn’t hard to guess the reason.
‘Think of it as a kind of curse. Just because you put a curse on someone doesn’t mean it will always work. It’s affected by the target’s resistance, mental strength, and the effects of special items.’
The fact that this item with a simple effect was SS rank meant that it would work even if the opponent was incredibly strong.
“I’ll buy it.”
“Oh? R-really? It’s not a very helpful effect in battle…”
“I said I’ll buy it.”
“Thank you!”
I continued my shopping spree.
“Customer! We also have a rabbit tail that goes well with the rabbit ears! And of course, we have bunny girl outfits too!”
“Master!! I’ll make the bunny girl outfit…! I’ll make it for you! Just give me a model! I’ll make a masterpiece… a masterpiece! If I have enough AP, I can make something of better quality than the bunny girl outfits sold here!”
Two rabbits were shouting. I ignored them and focused on shopping.
「Steel Rabbit Tail.
Wearing the rabbit tail increases physical durability.
Rank: S」
‘The price isn’t that high, surprisingly. I should buy it.’
I put off the bunny girl outfit. It was only B rank.
‘I would have bought it if it was at least A rank.’
My eyes, which had been raised by seeing luxury items, didn’t come down easily.
The frenzied shopping continued. The items I bought from Lotto were piling up next to me.
「Current AP: 2,250,197」
Spending ten million AP was instantaneous.
I spent AP only on adult items that weren’t directly helpful in battle. It was a satisfying shopping spree.
‘I already control several areas. AP will come in time.’
The basic thing to do is to invest the AP you earn into the area to maximize profits, but I didn’t feel the need for that.
‘Let’s see… I’ve bought almost all the adult items.’
I found an interesting item at the end of the list.
「Moon Mirror.
You can see places where moonlight touches.
You can gather moonlight.
Rank: S」
Moon Mirror.
A treasure that Chang’e possesses. The price was a whopping 2 million AP.
“You sell interesting things.”
“It’s the perfect item for voyeurism.”
“What does it mean to gather moonlight? Does it mean you can gather moonlight and shoot it as a laser?”
“Of course, that’s possible too. Moonlight is energy.”
“So it has the ability to accumulate energy. That energy can be used in various ways, right?”
“Yes. Yes. The energy depends on how the user uses it.”
Of course, the Moon Mirror (S) sold in the shop was fake. Not only the Moon Mirror, but all items related to gods were fake. Compared to the original, their effects were significantly lower.
“Interesting. I’ll buy it.”
“Thank you!”
The Moon Mirror appeared.
It was a round mirror. It was about the size of a watermelon. The Moon Mirror reflected me. I focused on the mirror. Then, my image distorted and something else appeared.
It was Elena.
Sitting on a chair, Elena had her legs crossed, her chin resting on her hand, sitting arrogantly. In front of her, five men and women were sweating and watching her every move. Elena was looking through the documents on the table one by one.
