Extra And MC-Chapter 137 - 133 - Auction Events V

Feeling his watch quietly and gently vibrating on his wrist as he raised both arms up in surrender, Flynn watched as the masked man with brown hair before him began to speak again.

"To be fair, I’d also expected someone else to try to either steal the item just like us or try to protect it…" the masked man began speaking in a peculiar mannerism, as if genuinely intrigued by the situation that was happening.

"Presumably, rankers from The Tower but I guess they’re either not here yet or, they didn’t really count this as something they needed to go all out for…" he continued as he stared with extreme interest at Flynn with his expressive brown eyes which was framed by the demonic-looking mask he had on.

’That mask… Is he from Obelisk? But The Monolith also uses a demon-like mask? Ah dammit! The novel never fully went into detail about the different mask descriptions so I’m stumped!’ a rapid slew of thoughts rushed through Flynn’s mind.

Despite being held at gunpoint though, a possible bullet prepped to burrow into his skull in a fraction of a second, the youth’s green-aquamarine eyes never wavered as his mind went into full-throttle instead, completely intent on escaping the perilous situation he found himself in.

"Still I’d have never expected to run into you personally here…" the masked man spoke again, while further pressing the silencer a bit harder on Flynn’s head.

’Just need to buy time to activate that! A split second is all I need!’ Flynn thought to himself, all of his assailant’s words almost completely distant as it faded into the back of his mind.

Noticing that Flynn wasn’t even the slightest bit scared despite the fact that he was practically, with no way out and just a moment from the cold embrace of death, the masked Monolith member was about to speak again when something caught both he and Flynn’s eyes.

Just beside them, on the large moving counter that was slowly taking the auctioned goods upstage, a mineral ore of an almost ethereal luminosity, capable of inciting a profound sense of wonder, radiantly appeared from the fairly wide rectangular space on the other far end of the counter which had black curtains covering it.

Watching the ore and realizing that his job was now almost complete, the masked man finally looked at Flynn and then spoke again, almost as if giving his farewell.

"Maybe I’ll just apologize to Rigurd for killing you later. He might get pissed that I stole his prey but I’m sure he’ll come around… eventually. Can’t be having any witnesses here now can I?"

’Rigurd?!’ Flynn instantly picked up on that singular name!

Finally beginning to pull back on the hammer of the antique revolver he was holding, Magnus proceeded to blast a hole through Flynn’s skull.

But just as he was to pull the trigger, Flynn suddenly let out an unexpected laughter as he spoke.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

"Hahaha! You really should’ve just shot me the moment I came in but no! You just had to be all theatrical, didn’t you?" the youth spat as a mocking grin slowly began to grace the edges of his lips.

’Please throw him off! Just for a second!’ a far different and contrasting thought was playing around in Flynn’s mind.

The masked assailant, around thirty-years of age, was about to comment on Flynn’s words but instantly, the youth’s next words sent a chill running down his entire spine, causing a single moment of hesitation to stop him from firing his shot.

"That, Magnus Emberclaw, will be your undoing!" Flynn declared as a crazy grin spread across his face!

"That’s… impossible…" Magnus eyes widened in utter disbelief as a vividly shocked expression colored his face from beneath his mask.

’Yes! Threw him off!’ Flynn inwardly declared.

It was just a split moment of hesitation from Magnus. Just a singular split second!

And yet, that was all Flynn really needed as he instantly raised his leg up and in the fraction of a second, threw a brutal front kick forward just as Magnus fired the gun.

-Pew!

The muffled sound of a bullet which had already being fired, hurled towards Flynn in the fraction of second as he himself dashed backwards simultaneously, instantly tapping on his other wrist which a black band was on.

-Shuuaamm!

Almost instantaneously though, just as the bullet was about to pierce through Flynn’s skull, a transformative black material covered Flynn’s entire body as a standard ranker’s battle suit covered his entire being, simultaneously halting the bullet with little to no issues as it collided with the bullet-proof visor instead of his head.

-Tap!

Watching as the bullet which had now compressed into a tiny metal slate instead, fell to the ground pitifully, Flynn turned his gaze upwards to stare at Magnus who had a far more shocked expression of disbelief painted across his face.

But even then, Flynn didn’t go for the man who was now staring at him with a deeply strong and questioning gaze on his face.

Instead, his eyes quickly darted over towards the moving counter where a beautiful flower of iridescent hues and the Eclipsian Prism sat atop, both slowly making their way in a regulated manner towards the small portal that connected to the auction’s platform above.

Without even having to exchange any words between each other, Magnus who had realized what Flynn was about to do, instantly lunged forward at an alarming speed towards the prism.

-Twooosh!!

However, Flynn took no chances with one of the head honchos of Obelisk’s dark organization and instantly, threw two of Ivelia’s freezing potion to hold the man in place!

-Crack! Frrsshhh!

Cracking and immediately freezing the man in place as soon as the vials of chilling blue liquid collided with him, his hand mere inches away from touching the Eclipsian Prism, Flynn swiftly made his way over to the ore.

-Crack… Shatter!!!

But as if to serve as reminder that Magnus was literally an SS ranker, albeit lower-tier ranked, the man forcefully broke through the ice sculpture Flynn had turned him into with sheer strength, his momentum resuming as he grabbed the ore instantly!

Unwilling to let him steal the ore, Flynn, still completely clad in his battle suit, lunged himself at Magnus with a powerful spear, instantly colliding with the latter!

-BAM!

This move of his, sent both of them hurling across the red-carpeted flooring of the room as they both rolled pitifully across the ground, the ore slipping out of Magnus’s hands as Flynn grabbed onto it instead.

At the same time, this commotion of theirs didn’t go unnoticed by the guards outside who instantly, tried to get into the room.

However, the room’s door was made of pure metal and Magnus, after previously coming in a few minutes before Flynn, had locked the door from inside by stuffing and blocking the keyhole’s contraption with multiple bullets, making the use of a key utterly useless.

So unless the guards literally blew down the door, which they were clearly afraid to do considering they might damage some of the auction goods, they were literally at an impasse right now.

Instantly getting up and watching as the youth threw the prism straight into the small spatial hole that led to the auction hall above, Magnus couldn’t help but curse out loud!

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" the man voiced in annoyance as he glared at Flynn who had made acquiring the ore so much harder than it needed to have been.

’If I can’t get the ore, then the railgun will never be completed! And if the railgun never reaches completion, I would fail the important mission our leader gave me!’ the Obelisk arm thought to himself.

Magnus genuinely wanted to avoid that at all costs.

In an instant though, Flynn watched as Magnus, despite being clearly angered by his actions, completely neglected him and instead, retrieved a small device from his front pocket and gave an immediate order!

"Change of plans so destroy all of it! We’re going in guns blazing now!"

No sooner than a few seconds in which he had said that, a sudden explosion shook the entire underground structure and the lights flickered and went out instantly.

-BOOOOOOM!!!

Despite the darkness though, through the help of his battle suit, Flynn watched as Magnus gave him an angered glare once again in a very short time frame as he spoke.

"Till next time, Flynn Belmont"

Uttering those few words, Flynn felt a swelling surge of mana instantly rise around Magnus as he blasted his way through the ceilings of the underground structure and left in destructive fashion.

-BAMMM!!!

’Mana’s back!’ Flynn inwardly declared as Magnus left, rubble collapsing onto the room’s flooring.

That being said, the youth didn’t even dilly-dally for one moment and immediately, searched for the gun the latter had used.

Knowing full well that most of the people above might not even realize the magnitude of the danger they were in just yet, he was planning to use the oldest trick in the book.

A singular warning gunshot!

Luckily for Flynn, he quickly found said gun and began to loosen the silencer in double-quick time.

Just as he was doing this, the lights flickered back on as the metal door was being continuously banged upon by the guards who were trying their absolute best to get in.

-BANG! BANG! BANG!

’Guess Ivar was able to at least prevent the back-up generator from also going out’ Flynn thought to himself while neglecting the loud metallic bangs as he tensed his legs, mana gathering and surging underneath his feet.

All of the crazy events happening within seconds, the youth propelled himself through the giant hole Magnus had created at breakneck speed and soon, watched as Magnus broke out and his brother landed a devastatingly crunching force to the latter’s face.

Following this, Flynn immediately fired the warning shot from the revolver, its crackling sound further enhanced by the long hollow hole which increased the shot’s audibility even more fiercely!

-POW!!!

With this, most of the bidders instantly ran out with fear and immediate alacrity, setting the other chain of events that would then happen as the three-way situation followed up between the remaining members of Team X, The Tower and The Monolith Members.
