Chapter 238 - Episode Thirty-Five - The Collector (6)

The collectors glare at me.

If youre wondering what Im up to I just said no, as promised.

I did not do anything more than that.

Its the collector who originally said it was okay to refuse.

What, are you just going to keep quiet?

The collectors shrill voice echoed.

Now that he said that, I cant just keep being quiet.

I hesitated for a moment and then opened my mouth, while unable to think clearly.

No, but the magic tools scattered around are far inferior to the ones you were talking about in the beginning And besides, I cant handle them, or rather, I dont need them at all The Vase of 100 Karma was certainly interesting, but I couldnt open it, so I had to use it as an ornament.

The first thing that the collector boasted about was mainly magical tools and grimoires from the mythical era, but now there are very few of those scattered around.

After all, the collectors have no intention of offering his treasures for trade.

He may be thinking that such a thing would be enough, even though he said that it would inspire him.

This was evident from the fact that he had put the Vase of 100 Karma in a separate category for later.

I think he was keeping it because it had value, but since he had no use for it, he put it off as if he didnt mind giving it away.

It is true that the value of this item is much higher than that of the World Tree Ortem. However, I didnt feel that I wanted the items that the collector offered me that much.

I didnt have any intention of exchanging them, and Im sorry, but I dont care much about such things.

If I could get them for free, I would be delighted, but I couldnt trade them for the World Tree Ortem.

In the first place, Im not as much of a collector as I should be.

Id like to hang up some vases and paintings, but I dont really feel that strongly about them.

If I have them, I would like to display them. I guess thats how most people are.

I heard a grinding sound coming from the collectors mouth.

I couldnt see it because of the bandage, but he was probably gritting his teeth.

Somehow, I feel like youre just giving things that dont matter much, or something And Im not sure I want it that badly either, to be honest. In addition, I wasnt interested in exchanging it in the first place

Even if Im given with quantity, Its just too much for someone like me who doesnt have a convenient item like the Ravenous Dragons Tool Bag.

How much do you think youll get in your hands if you sell this! Do you think this wooden puppet is more valuable? And after all that, you want me to give you a mythical-class treasure? Youre a fool! You youre getting carried away when I paid a little attention to you! You think youre on equal footing with me! You cant be so arrogant!

No, Im not saying I want it Um, anyway, Im just saying that I cant exchange it for Oh, if you want, I can make something similar to this, if you can get the materials.

Bullsh*t! What is the value of something that you have made at random! Im saying that I want this wooden puppet right now! Its been a long time since Ive been ridiculed to this extent.

N-No, that is a thing that I created though.

I know it cant be helped that you cant tell when it was made because of the multiple anti-degradation techniques But you can still get a good idea from the ink, paint, and technique.

If the collector is not interested in this aspect, it is understandable that he or she may not notice it.

I was planning to get it by force but Im not going to. Ive been made such a fool of. Im going to take this wooden puppet as well as the wand of destruction. If you just give it up quietly, I can still let you go with your life, Abel. Im still thinking that its regrettable to kill you.

The collectors light-heartedness that was present earlier was already gone.

The space around the room felt thin and lonely.

Instead, there was a strong feeling of anger in the air.

It was as if space itself had been transformed to match the collectors emotions.

This is not good, I think Ive completely pissed him off.

I thought I could just create one up as I went along, but I didnt realize I was just adding fuel to the fire.

I had no choice.

Ill just do as Im told, hand over the World Tree Ortem for now, apologize, and somehow get it rebuilt and replaced later.

This is the only one that is really dangerous. I guess Ill just have to play it cool.

As I thought about this, I suddenly realized something strange.

Hmm, the wand of destruction? I dont have one of those

Dont give me your excuses! I already know that it was the Wand of Destruction that destroyed the tower! You just said earlier that you have it! How dare you lie to me! How much you plan to mock me!

Ah!

I held my mouth involuntarily.

I said it. Im sure I said that on the spur of the moment, in an attempt to keep things on an even keel.

Seeing my situation, the collector shows even more killing intent.

N-no Its not that kind of ah!!

Y-You said it was okay to refuse! Youre a legendary adventurer, and youre going to bend your words!

I said you could refuse, but I didnt say what I would do afterwards?

Wha- !

Well, hmm, youre right that its absurd. I will not allow my pride and self-respect to get in the way of that I have my own rules that I have imposed on myself. If I, as a transcendent, were to repeat the tyranny of my emotions, it was obvious that there would be nothing left of this world.

Looks like I can handle it?

Im glad to hear that youre the type to keep your promises.

The collector lightly strikes the belly of the golden sword blade in his hand with his other hand.

Lets see Well then, lets make a bet. This sword is called the Earth-shattering Sword and its power is just as I showed you. I will not use any other treasures. If you fight me in this state and you win, you can take any one of my treasures with you. But if I win, Ill take this wooden puppet and the wand of destruction. Its not just a fair bet, its a big bet that Im giving you. Theres no problem with that. Of course, you dont have the right to refuse, though, Fuhahaha. Ill make sure not to kill you!

The collector holds his sword wide open.

The large amount of magic tools that are left everywhere, suddenly disappeared.

I-I can take anything that I want?

Huh, dont tell me that I can take the ravenous dragons tool bag, by any chance?

If its as good as that Earth-shattering Sword If its just a hairs breadth away from the impact it had earlier, I feel like I can handle it any way I want.

If the collector is going to use that sword as his main weapon, he has a good chance of winning.

Theyre totally going to do it. Thats why I told you to get out of here, but you keep doing unnecessary things!

Altamir pointed his arm at the collector.

I might be able to change the terrain here, at least buy us some time. The witchs tower is more like a part of my garden or something like my limb. At that time, get away somehow. You might be chased after you get out of the tower Sorry, but I cant take care of you there.

I understand! Ill take that bet!

I stepped in front of Altamir and shouted at the top of my voice.

Both Altamir and the collector stood still for a while.

Huh, did I say something weird?

I had no idea that I was so disregarded! You think you can deal with Me If I have just one sword? Im convinced youve been acting like an asshole! You are a fool of the Marren tribe, so full of knowledge that you cant see anything! This collector will prove my transcendence right here and now!

The collector holds his sword at the upper level.

The overwhelming magic leaking from the collectors body, covered the collectors body.

You What are you!? Are you dumb!? Will you die if you dont stir things up!?

Oh, can you please take Mea and stay back?

I ordered Altamir to move back.
