The Author's POV

Chapter 352

'What are you doing Angelica? Take their stuff.'

While Waylan was preparing to join the fight, glancing at Angelica, I pointed at the dead duergars on the floor.

'Didn't you say that you were out of devil fruits? Check their stuff, there might be a couple in there.'

[You just want their stuff don't you?]

Angelica coldly said, having read my exact thoughts.

Blinking a couple of times, I chose to remain silent.

'…'

Raising her brows in the distance, Angelica gave me a not-so amused look.

Sighing, I came clean.

'Fine you win. I do, so hurry up and get their stuff and give it to me. Keep the useless stuff.'

Having seen just how much trouble Waylan went through when he fought them, I couldn't help but covet the stuff that they had.

There was definitely going to be something useful in there.

[Fine.]

Tempted by the idea of getting more devil fruits, Angelica eventually nodded her head and headed towards the corpses of the deceased duergars.

Rummaging through their stuff, she briefed me on the things that she found.

[I've found another artifact, but just like the others, it requires a mixture of both mana and demonic energy to properly function. You can use it now but when the contract is over you'll no longer be able to use them.]

Pausing, she glanced in my direction and continued.

[…that is unless you're planning on consuming a devil fruit. If so, you can probably use them even after the contract is over.]

'No, I'm good. I can just sell it in the black market for a good price.'

I quickly shook my head and denied her offer.

Since the black market was for both villains and heroes, I didn't doubt that there was a market for the things that Angelica picked up.

When I returned to the human domain, I planned on selling all of the stuff I got today to fund my future endeavors.

'Anything el—'

Bang— Bang—

Cutting me off was a large explosive sound that came from the distance. Turning my head to face the direction of where the sound came from, I was once again reminded of the fight that was happening next to me.

However, contrary to the last time I looked at them, this time it was Ultruk who held the upper hand in the conflict.

'Angelica, get the stuff and quickly come back to me.'

Worried that something unexpected might happen, I urged Angelica to hurry up and return to me.

Replying with a cold stare, Angelica silently picked up her speed before quietly returning to my side. For obvious reason, I had her transform into a tooth again.

This time I didn't put her in my mouth and just put her in my pocket.
