" Looks like we have the man, we were waiting for." The man surrounded by guards said. " Let's get this straight, I want your weapon in return I will give you both of your friends without any harm."
He looked at Ben who held his hands up and then searched for Yelena, she was nowhere to be found.
" So what's your decision?"
" I am going to kill you, isn't that obvious?" Conan said without hesitation, out of nowhere the people holding Ben had thier hands cut off but no blood came out. A dark red aura surrounded Conan and the two swords flying in the air.
' Is this what happens when he is serious?' Ben stood there watching Conan. For some reason, he was not afraid when Conan came back and now he knew why, because he had sensed a long time ago that Conan is no ordinary person.
Whoever drew out thier blades had thier hands cut off but strangely no blood came out but a burning sensation was felt. Thier hands were on fire from where they were cut, the fire didn't prolong for too long but it burnt the wound in a way that it stopped bleeding but causes too much pain. Only screams were heard throughout the hall as many tried to flee. Even the guards surrounding the owner of the auction were running away.
However the owner wasn't able to run, many weapons were flying in the air and were cutting the limbs of everyone, it also cut down the leg of the man. He screamed in horror and pain just like others but with more intensity.
Suddenly Ben realised that Yelena was also taken away. " Conan they took Yelena somewhere."
" Where?" Conan asked, ' Why would they only take Yelena away while keeping Ben here, was it a backup hostage but the boss of these people was here?'
Ben Led Conan towards the direction where Yelena was taken away. Around the corner, some guards were waiting in hiding behind the walls to ambush them.
However Ben was currently seeing everything on his laptop, he told Conan about the dangers ahead. Conan had no fear but suddenly some guards with machine guns in thier hand started to attack. Ben thought he would lose his life but a dome-like shield of metal covered him and he was safe. He watched Conan fight several men on his laptop. The bullets were not able to go past the red aura that surrounded him.
No guard was a match in hand to hand combat with him and in just, a few minutes the fight had ended and they proceeded in that direction again while Ben Led him.

' This Katana is amazing, is he after this?' Yelena thought while holding Tsurugi in her hand. Around him, a man in a black suit and a fashionable tie stood.
" Tell me what are the other items." She ordered, the man was staring blankly in the open space. When Yelena ordered he obediently started to speak.
" This one is seeker's crystals, it glows in four different colours based on the mana density in the environment and floats in the direction where more mana is when it's near that area." Yelena understood why the announcer said that everyone wants this, it will help any traveller to find magic crystal mines and even help them with finding several spirit beasts which can use mana to attack, a traveller earns by selling magic crystals and spirit beast corpses so it was an amazing tool for them.
" This one is the pelt of Fenris the king of beast, it's taboo to kill holy beasts so it's rare to find something like this." Yelena could tell it wasn't a pelt of a mature Fenris wolf but a very young beast. For a moment she thought Conan wanted this item she had thought it was just another beast's pelt. There were not any names on the list Ben had shown to her, the officials of the auction liked to things secret till the auction because of the threat of it being stolen.
" This is the wing of a fairy." It was a transparent wing inside a transparent glass ball. She didn't know what it can be used for, fairies are rare to find.
" This is an unknown scroll from ancient times, our forensic experts have told us that it was excavated even before the day of the truth." Yelena thought it was a lie because the scroll was in perfect condition. When she opened it she could see various ancient symbols just like the symbols she once saw in a grimoire.
" You have done enough, now die," Yelena ordered and threw a knife in front of the man, the man followed the command like a puppet and killed himself.
' I need to take away these items,' Yelena said as she started to pack everything in a large bag and then she ran out of the place.
She heard someone coming in her direction, she quickly ran away from there. ' It might be Conan, he defeated the enemy very quickly, this will hinder my plans a little, what should I do now? I need to hand this bag to that man.'
She ran through the corridors until she finally reached the place where a man with spiky black hair stood. He was also staring into the open space like he was being controlled.
" Take this bag and run towards this place." She handed him the bag and an address.
The man quickly started to move, ' Now, just one more thing to do.' She took out a dagger and cut her abdomen. Blood was coming out but she was constantly using the energy of the light to keep her vitality to a certain point.
After 20 minutes Ben and Conan came to her rescue and then they saw the blade Tsurugi in her hand, she had only handed the bag with four items. She kept Tsurugi for herself, Conan poured a liquid which quickly closed the wound on her stomach.
' Phew! I won.' She thought but fainted after being healed.
