Reincarnated In The World Of The Last Game I Played - Chapter 29

*All: Well, I spent the whole day pondering whether or not to write a chapter today. Out of nowhere I got sick. Out of nowhere. Do you believe? All I did yesterday was lie dead on the couch, reading stuff anywhere on the internet… -_-

Sorry for the outburst. Let’s go to the chapter!!!*

After all the fuss Athena caused and when the auction ended, she was called to a private room in the theater.

Fuguv repeatedly apologized for the way he spoke to Athena. To the point of starting to irritate her.

“Okay, okay! Enough of this shit! How much is my diamond?”

Fuguv picked up the stone and admired it.

“Well… Hehehe…! From what-” Suddenly Fuguv shivered from the cold. “W-w-what?!”

Athena looked at the dwarf with cold eyes. Her bloodlust was so strong that Lunnia and Yrio felt it from the hallway.

“If you lie to me, this will be the last time you talk.”

“Eh? N-no! I would never lie to you… Hehe… Let’s see… Following the Empire’s monetary correction, this diamond alone costs around forty million gold coins. ”

Hearing the value, Athena felt weak in her legs and fell onto the sofa.

‘Forty millions? In the game it was only worth two million at most…’

In the game, these diamonds were mined with a certain level of ease by players. But in this world, if a miner wanted to find a diamond like that, he would have to dig very deep and close to an active volcano, but there was no guarantee he would find it. It was too risky.

“Right. Now, I know the spiritual fire stone doesn’t cost anywhere near what I offered. So I think I’ll pay fifty-one thousand gold coins.”

“WHAT?”

“That’s right. I’ll only pay fifty-one thousand.” Athena said with a cheerful smile.

“But you can’t do this!” Fuguv said.

The dwarf’s face was twisted in fury. What Athena was doing was the same as a robbery for the man.

The feeling of being robbed made the dwarf lose the fear he was feeling of Athena and he was considering taking his weapon.

It would be easy to kill the human with the allegation of theft. And he could take the stone and no one would complain.

That’s what Fuguv started to think when Athena brandished her sword first.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I know a cheater when I see one.”

“I’m the one who asks. What the fuck do you think you’re doing? If you kill me, everyone will hunt you down.”

“Truth.” Athena smiled pleasantly. “But doesn’t that mean I just have to kill everyone in this town?”

Again, Fuguv felt his blood rush through his veins like ice water, and a sinister shiver ran through his body.

“H-as if you were going to make it…” Fuguv tore his eyes away from Athena. “… Y-you’re just a h-human…”

“Want to pay to see?”

There had no hesitation in Athena’s voice. She didn’t know if she could actually kill them all. In fact, she even doubted it. However, she was willing to try.

Something had changed in her body since becoming a Death Knight, she felt she had more stamina and physical strength, besides her foundation of mana having changed even before that, her skills seemed to have something related to mass slaughter.

She wanted to test this power which she was forced to receive. But, Athena remembered what Anemus had told her about making enemies lightly and let her bloodlust fade.

“Bring the firestone and armor you have. I’m in a good mood, I’ll let you live for now.” Athena said as she lowered her sword.

After that, one armor after another entered and left the room until Athena found the perfect armor.

Made of oricalcum and gold, a white armor with gold accents, it resembled an angel’s armor.

The helmet that covered half of the face, had golden wings at the temples and the eye shadow was also golden.

The breastplate was completely white and covered up to her hips like a short dress. Athena liked the armor even more because it self-suited to her body as if she recognized Athena as her owner.

The shoulder pads were gold and were shaped like wings folded back.

The manuplas had their golden fingers and side blades on the forearm in the shape of golden wings and everything else was white.

The thigh-high boots were also white with golden wings on the heels.

She also had a shield and sword, but Athena simply discarded them inside her dimensional bag.

The shield was too heavy and slowed her down and the sword was inferior to the one she had gained from the undead.

“It was nice doing business with you, you bastard.” Athena said and left the room, leaving a diamond behind.

Just as Fuguv was about to pick up the stone, Athena’s head appeared in the doorway.

“You owe me thirty-eight million, nine hundred and forty thousand gold coins. How will you pay?”

When he heard the value, Fuguv sweated with nervousness. On that day, because of his greed, Fuguv became a slave.

***

In the tavern where Lunnia and Athena were staying, the women were feasting. Well, Athena was.

Lunnia was drunk after the fourth glass of an extremely strong drink the innkeeper poured them.

Athena was on her eighth glass of the same drink and was still sober. Her body was stronger even for alcohol.

“Are you going to be okay, drinking that much, girl?” asked a man who sat at the next table.

“I’ll be fine.” Athena responded happily.

“Hoh~ why don’t you have a drink with us then?”

Athena looked at the man’s table and saw three others. What he was talking about was bald, with an ugly scar that ran to the middle of his forehead, muscular and wearing a beaten-leather pectoral as if to mark his muscles.

The others were ugly and beautiful in their own way and they all had a predatory look on their faces.

“I don’t like you guys. Especially the split head. Your scar is really ugly. Didn’t you have time to go find a healer?” Athena scoffed and the entire tavern laughed.

“What did you say?” the man asked in a scream.

“Poor…” Athena sighed piously. “Besides being ugly he is deaf, the poor wretch.”

“You started this bitch!” The man drew his sword.

However, Athena had already drawn her sword and pointed it at the man’s throat, making him freeze.

“Let’s not do this in here. I like this tavern and the owner is kind. You four against me outside after I finish this glass. Until then, sit down and shut the fuck up.” Athena said without any interest.

Minutes later, in front of the ‘Old Fox’ inn, a crowd watched the four-on-one duel and placed their bets.

“Yrio, what is it?” Hein asked when Yrio stopped to see what was causing the crowd.

When the man saw Athena facing four strong looking men, he pulled out his claymore and positioned himself beside Athena, who looked relaxed.

“You…” Athena looked at Yrio trying to remember where she knew him and then gave up.

The bald man who called himself Jimo looked at Yrio with his face wrinkled in anger.

“Who are you?” Athena and Jimo ask at the same time.

“Eh? Hey! At least remember the face of the guy you defeated!” Yrio complained.

Athena looked at him with a hard face. Trying once more to remember and then he smiled at the man and Yrio smiled back, his face lit up as Athena remembered him.

“So… Mirio…? What do you want?” Athena asked.

“It’s ‘Yrio’! Y-r-i-o! Shit! I came to help you!”

“Huh? I don’t want to!”

“What?”

“They’re mine! Did I take something from you by chance? Tulip, this fight is mine!” Athena said, pushing Yrio into the crowd. “But there’s something you can do for me.”

“Huh? But I…”

Athena tugged at the collar of Yrio’s armor and brought her lips to his ear and whispered.

“Today everyone here will become slaves. Bet two hundred thousand gold coins on me. These assholes are betting against me. You can keep the whole prize for yourself.” Athena smiled evilly and Yrio nodded feeling like he was making a deal with a demon.

“Are you going to be flirting or are we going to fight?” Jimo complained.

“Ah! Let’s fight, let’s fight!” Athena returned to the pseudo-battlefield. She bounced and smiled as only a beautiful lady from a rich family would.

“Since I am a gentleman, I will allow the girl to attack first.”

“Really? How lucky for me!” Athena brandished her sword and put an arm behind her back. “First…”

That was in an instant, few people there were able to follow Athena’s movements. These were the ones who bet on her.

Athena disappeared and reappeared in place as the head of the man who looked like a healer rolled on the bloodstained floor.

“Come on, make your move!” Jimo yelled without noticing that one of his friends was dead behind him.

“No, no… Now it’s your turn.” Athena smiled pleasantly.

Despite hating the fact that she was forced to be a Death Knight, Athena was really enjoying her new abilities.
