Chapter 27 - The Cage

In the Underworld Auction House for a moment there is complete silence, the auctioner show an item and everyone get silent by the show,

"Is it really what I think?" Cellena ask

"Yes, My Lady" Nebula answer but her eyes on the item, she feel the saliva in her mouth building up and it's not her everyone who know it have saliva in their mouth

"The High Grade Blood Core" The Auctioner said create a ripple in silent water that will turn into tsunami

On stage in a powerful glass container, a red marble giving red light, the marble is isolated and floating in the container showing everyone about it, there is red liquid look like fresh blood in the container flowing around the marble,

Anyone can tell it is most likely a blood core, every being of level 8 or above have a core representing their power even human have cores that materialized when they reach Rank 8 existence, there can be Many types of cores, Nebula's father have a core and it is the reason of every Nobel's power, the power of core transfer to the Descendants of family make Nobels stronger than most,

Cellena's eyes focus on it 'A blood core, the most difficult to find because blood powers are mostly associate with living beings, a versatile but Banned Magic in all kingdoms and a blood core not only gave immense power to living and control over living but it's rarity is in the thing that user can manipulate it to extreme degree and transfer it to anyone with just one drop of blood, a full core, gave the enemies nothing if don't want'

These are thoughts of everyone because this core can be use by anyone and very powerful, it gave a huge power boost to anyone even if not directly use it's power, Cellena know even everyone here covering their faces and using item to make it difficult for 5 senses to understand and remember them she can see the greed in their eyes,

"It is one of its kind, a rare and unique item, today's first special Item and it's starting price is 100 Gold coins and the increase will be least 1 gold coins" The Auctioner said everyone listening to his words, holding their Number, Nebula also holding the number he pull from under the seat,

"200 Gold coins"

"210 Gold coins"

"220 Gold coins"

"230 Gold coins"

"240 Gold coins"

"250 Gold coins"

"300 Gold coins"

"350 Gold coins" Nebula said getting eye from others

"Good, Number 13, this is one of a kind unique core" The Auctioner said smiling, he feel happy grinning ear to ear by the sudden rise in value,

"1000 Gold coins"

"1001 Gold coins"

"1011 Gold coins"

The price in small time get really high and it is not a surprise because the people here are Nobels that can flow money like water,

" 10000 Gold coins, the last price is Ten thousand Gold coins, anyone, is there anyone" The Auctioner said, he still want to raise the price after getting it up so much " Sold to number 42" He anounce

Cellena move towards Nebula "So how much you have, if you need more money, I can give"

Nebula put wards around them and said "I have 100,000 Gold coins but I will not waste it here, i save it all by doing businessin these last 5 years"

"Huh, what you mean?" Cellena ask when Nebula's eyes shift towards the stage

"Now our Second item The Spacial Ring" The Auctioner announce "This item can let anyone who wear it use Teleportation without restrictions and can even use a high level Teleportation few times a day without Mana"

A shock like no more than before, Nebula feel her heart beating, space magic is one of the most difficult magic to learn so having this ring is like a blessing and one can learn spacial magic using this ring,

"I want it" Nebula said it like declaration, Cellena see this feel anxiety, she want it but need stop Nebula

Cellena pull her by her Butler suit "Nebu, you call the Royal Guards and when they will come we can steal it so don't be hasty"

Cellena likely pleaded her because she knew Nebula won't listen to her if she want it,

"Ah, yeah I forgot" Nebula said she see towards the stage and shout "500 Gold Coins"

Cellena now feel so much happened the bidding is going and Nebula just best,

"700 Gold coins" She bid again

"750 Gold coins" Number 42 said

" 800 Gold coind" Another number 18 bid

So the bidding going, Cellena take a breath and sit on chair comfortably,

"Twenty Thousand Gold coins, isn't here someone who want it, unlike Blood Core it is legal item can be use by anyone" Auctioner said but most people are hesitating,

" Nebula why don't you bid, you can get it" Cellena said but she feel that Nebula is focus on something or somewhere

"Juvaline, is there some problem" Cellena ask

"Nothing Lady Vallena, I feel there are some more people came before time" Nebula said before tensing a bit

Cellena see it and get ready to move "Are they on our side"

"Yes and No, i inform Royal Guards but also my Nobel Guards that are present" Nebula said "I think the Royal ones are here and the Nobel ones are outside but only they are on our side"

Cellena feel puzzled so she ask "The Royal ones are not on our side and don't know we are here but Nobel soldiers know us and we need to run to protect ourselves"

Nebula nodded "Our relationship with Royal Family is decent but Royal Guards in city report to Prince Aridose and it can be dangerous, our family have to stand and the tension will rise"

Cellena feel her words and her body shudder from fear,

"And Now presenting the Last item of the Day, the precious, it's not Rare but holding it is show power, a weapon that can Kill the Gods, The God Slayer Wapon"

A shock, a silence, a stillness but also a rush of emotions, it is the end Nebula knew, this is the end,

In a container a Dark ball, without any special feature, it is just a dark ball nothing more but the True Nobels, the Important people of Seven Nobel Families and Royalty know,

" Huh, that ball I don't see anything special" Cellena said but Nebula's serious and emotion less voice shake her

"The God Slayer, made by the remains of Seven Ancestors of Seven Nobel Families after making of 7 God weapons, the Seven Gods, a weapon that can take any shape and destroy anything, amplify any kind of power, gave infinite growth and even destroy the laws, it is just a little bit of its power" Nebula said more like telling herself

Suddenly Nebula feel something wrong, she using heightened sense and with Celestial she feel a sudden shift in magic, a barrier around them,

Nebula "Get ready, there are people coming, we are surrounded" Cellena already ready when people enter and

" What, Guards, stop them, Ahh."

" Everyone stay where you are", a guard in royal family symbol the White Dragon on its armor say it

Suddenly a circle shine under their feet, Everyone know it is a Teleportation magic circle but " Crack" The circle shatter like glass with noise

"Now, no one is going" A person behind them say holding an item that anyone can guess stop the Teleportation magic, it is Number 42

"Today you all will go down" He said

Everyone present feel like a sheep in Lion's cage.
