Omega Summoner

2106  At Magic Gunpoint

"Hand over the egg." The masked man asked once again as he pointed the magic gun at Adrian's head.

"I will give you the benefit of the doubt of whether you are smart or an idiot. Why would you point a gun at a person that can easily get his hands on a Legendary Tier lesser dragon egg?" Adrian stated as he does not want to even attempt to do anything. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hand over the egg!" The masked man stated as he suddenly charged up the gun and then fired it at Adrian's seatmate.

A loud painful cry was heard next to Adrian as his seatmate suddenly lost half of his arm as a result. The screams of those that witnessed the disintegration of an arm echoed in the area. They could not believe that it was so powerful that it could destroy an entire arm with just one blast. Adrian looked at the screaming man and felt pity as he would not have been targeted if he was not sitting next to him.

"Have this." Adrian stated as he took out a Legendary Tier potion to heal the man as he almost bled to death.

The missing arm of the man could be seen to slowly regrow, but it was at a snail's pace. It might actually take at least a week in order for it to recover. The scene where Adrian casually gave something like a high-quality elixir made the masked men even more greedy. Still, the masked man also suddenly felt something at the back of his mind saying to get out and stay quiet if he wanted to live but greed always takes over.

"Hand over everything you have or else you and everyone around you will die." The masked man stated.

"I do not really care what happens to them. So, kill them if you can and let us see if your power source will have enough." Adrian stated.

"If you did not care for any of them then why did you waste a potion on that man! You clearly are a hero!" The masked man stated as he was banking on the fact that Adrian is someone that saves people.

"I guess saving him made me look like a hero but let me remind you of something because I am no hero. In fact, I am a demon." Adrian stated as he snapped his hands and the masked man that confronted him suddenly stopped moving.

"What is happening?!" The leaders of the masked men stated as he suddenly felt a powerful aura in the area.

"I really just wanted to get the item that I bid for and go away but things do not always go my way. Sirius and Charon, clean all of this up. Make sure to only target the ones that are hostile. Whoever planned this raid is such an idiot." Adrian stated as a large shadow suddenly engulfed the lower floor of the auction hall.

The armed masked men were suddenly absorbed into their own shadows or chains suddenly sprouted from nowhere to kill them. All of the masked men were NPCs that were not that high in level but the weapon they have was extremely powerful. The NPC seated near Adrian was at least a level 250 NPC, but his arm was blown away when he did not defend properly. Seeing that the outside guards are not flooding in means that there is also trouble there.

"Ahh!" The masked med in the lower floor shouted as they all got taken by either Sirius or Charon.

All those that were taken by Sirius was devoured by him and empowered his shadow. Those taken by Charon had their life force drained to the point that they became mummies. Their mummified bodies are then used as a way to enhance the chains that he uses. With each life force that he absorbs, the chains become stronger even if it is only a little bit.

Just as Adrian stated, he was not a hero but a demon. His disguise melted away as he was actually hit by another masked man, but it only scratched his shoulder. Needless to say, the masked man that almost hit Adrian was gruesomely dismantled by Sirius' shadows. The people that thought that they will be saved have realized the fact that they were in the midst of a powerful demon.

The demon did not save them because he was heroic. They just happened to be saved because the masked men threatened the demon. If the masked men did not do so, then the demon would have just stayed quiet and let them be killed until only one of them is left. They all looked at Adrian with fear, but they are still glad that the demon seems to be ignoring them.

The ruckus at the VIP area was loud as well but the rooms were made sure to be perfectly soundproofed. Still, the people in the VIP rooms were extremely powerful people and some have twisted means. The masked men that entered the rooms of these twisted people ended up in a far more gruesome fate than the one Sirius dismembered.

"Apologies, patrons. It seems that the city and the general area of the auction is being attacked at the moment. Fear not as his majesty and the other nobles are in the plaza eradicating the attackers. Please remain in here in order to be safe as our great guests and guards managed to clear up all the assailants." The spokesperson immediately stated.

In fact, the guards were very thankful to Adrian as they would not have been able to move if he did not easily clean up the people inside the lower floor of the auction house. The guards feared that the patrons will become hostages and having a patron get killed inside an auction house is never a good thing. The security that an auction house provides should be topnotch or else they will have no customers ever again.

Adrian have been informed by the shadow unit that numerous groups have suddenly emerged in the world. In fact, there have been groups they labeled as gangs as they have notorious reputation for harming people. The ones that came to this auction house is a gang known as the Skull Masked Gang which came from what they wear. Adrian does not have much background information on them, but he at least knows that they deal with illegal magic technology.

The magic guns that they have brought were not something that is out on the market. They looked like volatile creations that could backfire if not handled correctly. One of the masked men was even killed by it when the mana bullet came out from the back. It is definitely not magic technology that is circulated and approved by the MagiTech Council.

"Thank you, dear guest." The spokesperson suddenly stated towards Adrian.

"No need to thank me as I only cleaned up trash. My offer still stands. The necklace for the egg. If possible, I would like to have it now." Adrian stated while the sounds of fighting could be somewhat heard inside the auction house.

"Put your hands u…" A masked man stated suddenly as he kicked the door, but Sirius suddenly bit his upper body off.

 Sirius' sudden appearance shocked those that were able to take a glimpse of him. They clearly saw a shadow suddenly manifesting a physical form and biting off a man in half. The lower half that was left sunk into the shadows which made even those at the VIP room look at Adrian with great intrigued.

"Thank you once again, patron. We will even offer the necklace to you for free because you have saved us." The spokesperson stated but he was actually not an ordinary individual as he was the owner of the auction house in disguise.

"You are not going to give it for free just because I saved you,right… auction house owner?" Adrian stated which made the auction house owner smile a bit and also slightly terrified as his disguise could be seen through.

"I will give it to you now as long as you promise to clean up all the thugs in the auction house." The auction house owner stated.

"What about the mole?" Adrian asked.

Adrian naturally thought that the sudden appearance of masked men inside of the auction house is not a simple raid. It should have been coordinated with someone from the inside as the number of masked men was great. This was definitely a planned hit on an auction house because they waited until all of the items were now in the stage.

"Naturally, we will handle that one as well. Our auction house might be in the shady district, but we always promised utmost protection to our patrons." The auction house owner stated as a dangerous glint could be seen in his eyes.

"Fine then. Sirius and Charon, clean up the entire auction house of the scoundrels." Adrian commanded and the sounds of fighting in the auction house dimmed down in under ten minutes.
