Weapon seller in the world of magic

496 The Grand Auction (part-7)

An hour later;

”Item number 6, The Staff of Horus.”

”It is a low-quality semi-divine weapon, crafted by the Dwarves with Mythril and a myriad of metals. Regarding the material composition, it was on the level of an earth-grade divine weapon.”

Xin Rui caressed the staff’s handle with a bit of disappointment on her face, continuing to say, ”However, what makes it a semi-divine weapon is the core used during the forge. A goblin’s brain was used as a core.”

A series of sighs escaped from several VIP Boxes and some spectators, but that’s to be expected anyway.

Xin Rui also couldn’t help but sigh in her heart as she announced the bid, ”The minimum bid is 10,000 gold coins and the guardians are the Dragon Tiger and its master.”

The Dragon Tiger had proven to be a menace for the challenge round this time. It was the guardian for the first three items and no one yet to even manage to defeat her.

Since its master is a powerful healer with a mysterious artifact that could restore one’s ether energy and stamina, it was always in its best shape every time it battled a new opponent.

But now, its master was also joining the battle for the first time and he is a peak stage 7-circle realm expert. Not to mention, the item doesn’t seem like a treasure. To use it properly, one would have to melt it down and forge it again with a powerful core. It might need the services of a grandmaster blacksmith. The Dwarves won’t do it as it is absurd to even think that they would destroy the same weapon they create.

As a result, the guests seemed reluctant to bid for this specific item. But, one had a different thought.

A paddle was raised after ten seconds of silence.

”21000, Box No. 8.” Xin Rui’s announcement made several heads turn toward Box number 8.

The spectators might have forgotten who was sitting there but not the VIPs.

Their interest was aroused further when a white-clad armor knight came into the arena with the challenging token in his hand, instead of a Supreme Being.

Far more surprising is that he looked completely like a normal person without an ounce of ether energy.

Is he another Supreme Being? Or was he using some other skill to hide his cultivation?

They couldn’t help but watch him with various thoughts in their heads.

After silently handing over the token back to Xin Rui, Eol stood there on the platform and had his eyes fixed on the beast king which also looked like it was observing him.

Due to his android body, the Dragon Tiger couldn’t sense anything from him, which frightened it slightly. On the other hand, its master, Cai Zan, who is also like its father, had a deep frown on his face. Box No. 8 did make him take the opponent very seriously even though his beast had proved its strength.

”The battle will start in 20 seconds.” Xin Rui announced the timer just like before, indicating that he should take out his weapons or get prepared for the battle.

However, Eol just stood there in silence.

20 seconds later, as soon as Xin Rui gave the signal to the start of the battle, the Dragon Tiger opened its mouth right away to attack him.

Clenching his fists, Eol smiled under the mask and mumbled, ”Battle mode, activate.”

The fireball was launched by the Dragon Tiger and Eol slowly started walking toward it.

As it almost reached him, the spectators expected him to either evade it or block it through force.

To everyone’s surprise, just as the fireball almost reached him, a mirror made of water appeared out of nowhere and took the attack.

As soon as the fireball struck the mirror, it was absorbed into it and then reflected the attack with a stronger fireball.

”This attack…” Tang Xin, the 7-circle realm mage, got up from his seat in shock, seeing the exact same skill he used to defeat his opponent to win item number 4. In fact, he was known for that special skill.

”Dodge” Cai Zan jumped to the side and the Dragon Tiger flapped its wings to dodge the fireball.

In that split second, Eol charged forward at his maximum speed to reach the mage and caught his throat.

As he raised the healer and started crushing his throat, the Dragon Tiger let out a powerful roar.

Eol simply turned toward its direction and kept him as a shield.

Meanwhile, the healer who couldn’t free himself from Eol’s grasp was forced to expel ether energy from his body and tried to push the enemy away.

However, the audience only saw a bunch of water mirrors appear all around the healer in the instant he expelled the ether energy.

They bounced off at the same time. Since he wasn’t moving and there was no place to dodge either, they struck him with a stronger power equaling to an advanced stage legendary realm expert.

”Aaargh…” A piercing scream echoed in the coliseum.

The water mirrors disappeared as soon as their job was done, revealing an unconscious man who looked like he was just a step away from death.

Eol threw him away like a peel of a banana and looked at the beast flying in the sky. ”It’s your turn now.”

*Graaaaaa*

The roar from the Dragon Tiger was more powerful this time. Its body is covered by a scarlet aura, making it go into a berserk state.

As if the water mirrors of Tang Xin weren’t enough to shock the experts, as the beast king flew down toward him and swiped its claws toward him, Eol turned into a shadow and let it go past him and almost crashed onto the ground.

It controlled its path to fly higher but Eol’s counterstrike was perfect once again. As soon as it tried to fly higher, chains of dark energy erupted from the ground and captured its body.

Eol’s shadow formation materialized and he raised his hand to conjure a giant lightning-energy broadsword before swinging it down at its tail.

The beast king’s tail was cut off from its body and fell to the ground.

”Graaaa” ”Graaaa” ”Graaaa”

The beast king looked like it was going out of control, melting the chains with its blazing flames.

It was at that moment Xin Rui, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, made her move.

She rushed forward and cut down the dark chains, taking Eol by surprise.

Before Eol got to open his mouth to question her motive, Xin Rui once again surprised everyone by jumping high and planting her hand on the Dragon tiger’s forehead, ”Sleep.”

The beast king’s eyes met Xin Rui’s eyes, where something like a spiral motion was seen. It fainted right away, regardless of the bleeding at the tail end.

From the start of the battle till its knockout in the hands of Xin Rui, only 28 seconds have passed. Just 28.

”The challenger wins the battle. Ms. Shen Ling won the item. Congratulations.” Xin Rui announced the results.

VIP Box no. 19;

With his elbow supported by the armrest of the chair, Tang Xin tilted his head slightly and rested his cheek on his fist, ”Hmm, there’s no doubt about it. This expert could copy our techniques and make it his own in an instant. Or that’s what he was trying to show to everyone. Or else, why would he only use the techniques used in earlier battles? Probably a skill or some unique bloodline that allowed him to do that. Interesting.”

VIP Box no. 32;

”This man never ceases to amaze me,” mumbled the fourth prince of Kun Empire. ”Letting him stand on the crown prince’s side might become a heavy disadvantage for me later on. I guess I can no longer take that eldest brother of mine lightly. It is best if I act as fast as possible to indict him and make sure he is not eligible for the throne. Or should we cripple his cultivation? Hmm… I wonder…”

VIP Box no. 47;

”Damn, this fellow Lu Zhen has another powerful subordinate?” Qing Jie was naturally excited. ”No matter what, I will have to make him my friend.”

VIP Box no. 4;

”Dammit.” Yu Tianjin threw away the glass of wine in anger, ”I should have accepted his offer. When I challenged him that I would accept it if he defeated the beast king and it didn’t happen for the second and third rounds either, I thought they might be tricksters with fake cultivation levels. Argh… I made a mistake.” His face was filled with regret.

Finally, at VIP Box no. 8;

With a surprised look on his face, Mark couldn’t help but turn his head and ask the former High priestess, ”Sylvandria, I just one question. Is he really the hero from your legends or your history was fabricated?”

Sylvandria: …
