《Afterlife - Next World's Auction House》To each its own... misconceptions!

Decarbia POV
Today I think I might finally die... After eluding the forces of that pigheaded Amon for over three years, they have completely surrounded me this time. Not only that, but my magic essence is low as well.
[I guess I would use the forbidden technique my father taught me and detonate my soul. That way I can at least take out some of these trashes with me in the process...]
Whispering... I can’t even talk out loud anymore and there aren’t any demons brave enough to hold a conversation with me either. Let’s not even talk about them helping me out, since the last demon which did, had its horns pulled out, its wings burned and skinned while still alive. That bitch Amon is that insidious.
Looking ahead at the camp containing more than one hundred low-ranked demons led by the insufferable Izual, a garbage even among the trashes in the demon world, which in order to bootlick Amon and gain her favor, chased me nonstop for over three years now.
If I could take that bastard Izual down with me, I am certain I would die with a smile on my face.
[To think I was brought down to this level...]
I don’t even remember when I ate last and I can barely hold onto my consciousness due to the insufficiency of magic essence in my core. I am pretty sure that this time, I won’t be able to ever wake up again.
Touching the shadow collar around my neck, I felt a sense of helplessness take over me. Using this spell, Amon put a mark on my soul and the demons chasing me can always find me. No matter where I go or how fast I run, I am destined to fall into their hands sooner or later.
[Since it is useless to fight back against an entire world, I might as well get this over with. Father, Mother, little sister... I am sorry but I cannot complete my filial piety to the three of you and avenge your deaths...]
Standing up, I took a look at the gigantic transparent wall in front of me, which separated our world of any other. Amon guessed that my goal was reaching this place as my final destination, due to the stories my father always told the three of us. So, knowing that I will certainly die someday soon, I ran with all my might in an attempt to see this place at least once.
[Hehe! I can certainly say it was worth it... it is even more beautiful than what father described it to be.]
The sky was dancing in vibrant colors of blue and green, combined with the ever-moving clouds that seemed to be smoke, continuously flowing out of someone’s cigar. Humans called this Aurora Borealis and it was one of the most beautiful phenomenon among all worlds.

Mother always explained after Father’s stories, that these dancing lights are imbued with magic essence so thick, that it thinned out the veil between worlds while they danced in the skies.
I walked fearlessly towards my death while gazing at the beautiful scenery and one of the guards saw me, hollering like an animal at the rest. Lewd laughter and insults were hurled continuously as I moved forward through the sea of demons that parted to give way.
Izual had a broad grin on his face as it saw me. These dumb insects... they have no idea what I prepared for them. Just a couple more steps and I will be in the middle of the crowd. That way, when I ignite my soul, the explosion can engulf more of them, including the vulgar pig in front of my eyes.
[Ahahahaha! Finally I caught you bitch! That Amon lass was right about you coming here after all! Now that you can’t escape anymore, she won’t have any choice but to complete her promise to lay with me! Ahahaha! Who thought that I get to fuck you as well before that! Hahahaha!](Izual)
[Boss Izual, don’t forget to let us have some fun as well when you’re done with her!](random stupid even lower-rank demon)
Roars of laughter followed and I finally reached the spot I wanted to. Quietly I ignited my soul and smiled at the stupid garbage in front of me.
[Hmpf! Seems like Amon was right about you being able to use that technique. Did you really thought you can escape, you sow!? Use the pendant!](Izual)
A bright violet glow erupted from one of the henchmen and it appeared to target me. Instantly, the Soul Ignition technique was snuffed out and with it, my final hope was crushed.
[Ahhahahaha! Look at you now bitch! Weren’t you fearless a moment ago? What’s wrong? What’s with the pale face? Ahahaha! Huh!?](Izual)
I prepared to swiftly crush the soul fragment in my chest in order for these bastards not to take advantage of me any further, but a crack was formed directly behind Izual. All the demons turned their heads and found out it was actually leading behind the wall, obviously towards a different world. The magic essence seeping out through it made my body feel like spring finally came after an way too long winter.
[Don’t look so happy sow! You bastards keep an eye on her and don’t let her move about! Her lordship Amon wants her alive to enjoy torturing her for all the trouble she’s caused so far. I will go take a look at what’s behind the portal and bring you as well if there are any resources to be plundered. To think there’s a retard brave enough to summon this bitch! AHAHAHAHA!](Izual)

In my mind, I was speechless. This pigheaded garbage was more stupid than pigs. Doesn’t he know about the contracting ritual? He actually thinks he can go to another world and boss people around like he does here?
[Eh...](Decarbia)
I almost let out a yell when I realized that the Soul enslaving imprint which that cunt Amon placed on me was shattered. Not only that, but the magic essence in my core was finally able to nourish my being, making me feel like a plant in the desert after a heavy rain.
[Are you the puny insect that dared summon this Great One?](Izual)
My knees almost gave out when I heard that. That moron! Father and Mother always said that if there’s a summoner able to complete the ritual, we are supposed to treat them with the utmost respect. Not good! If this keeps up and the contractor is enraged, there will not be a chance for me to escape this shitty realm.
Looking at my current power level, I can barely use one Flash, which can take me behind that garbage. I think I can use this chance and rid the demon world of one more useless trash!
[Actually, it matters not! Now that this Great One arrived on this plane, I will make all you puny humans shudder in fear of my noble name! Let this world fear the name Iz...ual...](Izual)
I managed to pierce throughout his back, grab his soul fragment and take it out of his body. That way he will be weakened enough not to have any power and I can take care of him as well.
A face full of surprise and resentment turned and looked at me while he fell on his knees.
[It’s you bitch!!! You dare attack this one!? Her Lordship will skin you alive! Just wait until she finally finds clues of you trail! She will have hellhounds rape you while the entire Underwold watches! She will...](Izual)
Not wanting to hear another word out of his foul mouth, I used my right head to behead him and due to that, a great commotion started behind me back in the demon realm. It was obvious that in a couple of minutes after someone takes charge, they will come over. I need to inform the contractor!
Before I could speak a word, I took a look at my surroundings and was astonished by the lush vegetation around me, while there was even grass tickling the soles of my feet, making me want to fly in the air and not dirty it by standing on it. However, before I can fully admire this world, I need to take care of the portal.
I don’t have enough strength left to close it, however, if I consume Izual’s soul fragment I will have barely sufficient. Nevertheless, if I do so... I will become corrupted...
Hesitating no longer, I threw it in my mouth and ate it directly. I tried to hold back the tears in my eyes, knowing that by doing this I failed my Mother’s teachings and the continuous warnings she gave me.
Controlling my emotions, I raised my head and made eye contact with a person standing across of myself and the now dead Izual.
The moment I met his gaze, my soul shuddered and I realized that it was appraising me.
A pair of brown eyes and a fair skin complexion, completely different from us demons. Not only that but compared to any of the male demons I met so far, he was better looking by a lot. However, he wasn’t a human... I could tell by the smell, as well as the pressure he was unconsciously exuding.
Even when compared to Father or Mother, the amount of magic essence he possessed was much higher. However, I could tell! When compared even to Izual… actually, even the low-ranked demons behind me were currently stronger. Currently!
[The amount of potential this individual has is endless! Maybe with him on my side...](Decarbia)
Unknowingly I was already in front of him, unaware of when I even started walking. Not only that but I apparently stared at him the entire time. This did not follow the proper etiquette Father taught me and if Mother knew I was this discourteous to someone I just met... Gulp! I do not even want to think about it...
Luckily, it seems he didn’t mind. Michael Corbett... With the noble pressure he exuded it was obvious he was someone from an aristocratic background, therefore I addressed him as ‘Excellency’ and he didn’t seem to mind. Also, when I foolishly insinuated that I should close the gate since both our strength is insufficient, he permitted it, however completely unfazed, as if the over 100 demons behind me were simple specs of dust in his eyes...
[This great person! Maybe I could finally claim revenge for my family if I stay by his side...]
“I have a couple of questions for you if you don’t mind Decarbia.”
[It would be my honor your Excellency!](Decarbia)
A new future in a new world... Aaaaah! Even the smell of the air is better.
