Chapter 383 Chapter382-The Bleeding of Dawn Breeze Auction House
The Amethyst Magic Dragon Set fell into the hands of Bambooist.
To those present, this outcome was not at all surprising.
In fact, from the moment Bambooist stepped forward with his bid, many had realized that this rare epic-tier set would inevitably be claimed by the Traveler Association.
Bambooist, as the guild leader of the Traveler Association, represented one of the wealthiest gaming merchant groups in the gaming circle.
Blue Sea understood this as well, hence he wisely ceased his bidding the moment Bambooist spoke.
Although desirable, the item was not essential, and it wasn't worth offending the Traveler Association over an epic-tier set.
The leaders of other major guilds shared the same sentiment.
The auction continued even after the battle for the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set had concluded.
Soon after, another piece of equipment caught the attention of the big shots in the second-floor VIP boxes.
A legendary ancient sword—Sword of the Azure Pine.
[Sword of the Azure Pine (legendary equipment): A longsword with an extremely long history. Legend has it that a millennium ago, on the Godslayer Continent, there emerged a mightily powerful Swordsman named Azure Pine. Azure Pine gained fame in his youth and then traveled across the Godslayer Continent, seeking out various masters to refine his swordsmanship, eventually becoming unrivaled. In his overwhelming loneliness, he even dared to defy the heavens, challenging a deity... To battle with a deity, Azure Pine collected all the precious metals in the world and invited a dwarven master to forge a sword of zero-time Hestia, named the Sword of the Azure Pine...]
[Level Requirement: 280 or Attack 400, Movement Speed 350+]
[Attribute Information: +300 Attack, +20% Attack Speed, +15% Armor Penetration...]
[Additional Skill: Defying the Heavens, can be actively triggered to double the wielder's attack power, and each normal attack inflicts an additional 150% bleeding damage, duration: 3 minutes, cooldown: 30 minutes]
[Class Requirement: Warrior, Spellblade, etc.]
The moment the Sword of the Azure Pine was revealed, a wave of excitement swept through the players present.
At last, another legendary equipment was in sight.
Although the previously auctioned Amethyst Magic Dragon Set was no less valuable than legendary equipment—in some aspects, even surpassing it—it was still an epic-tier set, a whole grade below the legendary.
It wasn't a true legendary equipment.
The Sword of the Azure Pine was likely the first piece of legendary equipment to appear that night.
How could the players not be thrilled?
As the game Godslayer continuously updated, the players' understanding and exploration of the game had reached a significant level.
Levels were rising swiftly, and new maps were being uncovered constantly.
High-grade equipment and items were becoming more common.
But no matter how the game evolved, legendary equipment like the Sword of the Azure Pine remained in perennial short supply.
It was simply too rare for items and equipment of such caliber to come by.
Moreover, the attributes of the Sword of the Azure Pine were exceptionally supreme.
Beneath the stage, a Spellblade player clad in a black robe murmured to himself, his eyes shimmering with avarice. "This Sword of the Azure Pine has such supreme attributes, it's making my heart race. If I could equip such a weapon, those levels I've struggled with several times would surely be a breeze, right?"
"Don't even dream about it, this isn't something you could just snag. With such top-tier attributes, how could those big shots on the second floor let it go?" another player retorted.
"That's true. Even the guild leaders of the top ten global guilds don't have a full set of legendary equipment. They'd definitely be tempted by this Sword of the Azure Pine."
"Then it's over for me. I don't have that kind of money to compete with those big shots..."
The mysterious Spellblade player who had spoken earlier now wore a look of dejection. Having just revealed his ambition, he was met with various taunts from the surrounding players, leaving him feeling quite helpless.
On the stage, Isabella, with a smile as radiant as a blooming flower, spoke softly, "The Sword of the Azure Pine, a legendary equipment, second only to Divine..."
"I believe everyone has already seen the specific attribute information clearly, so I won't go into further detail here. Now, let's announce the starting bid."
"The starting bid for the Sword of the Azure Pine is fifteen million in cash, with each increment not less than five million."
Isabella announced the starting price of the legendary longsword with a smile. Though it was five million less than the starting price of the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set, the fifteen million starting price was enough to attest to the value of this legendary weapon.
As soon as Isabella's words fell, a fierce bidding war erupted. The price climbed rapidly.
"Genesis Guild bids twenty million!" Adam was the first to raise his hand with an offer.
"Twenty-five million!" Blue Sea followed closely.
...
In the end, the Sword of the Azure Pine was successfully auctioned for a price nearing one hundred million. Although it didn't reach the staggering price of the Amethyst Magic Dragon Set, ninety-five million was a fitting number for this legendary weapon. The person who won the bid for this sword was none other than Ghostblade, a familiar name to John.
Following the Sword of the Azure Pine, several other legendary pieces of equipment and items appeared, eliciting awe from John in the VIP box. It was evident that Dawn Breeze Auction House had invested considerable effort to enhance the grandeur of this auction. These legendary items, many of which had never appeared on any equipment leaderboard, were clearly not player-owned and must have been purchased from NPC elites by the auction house. Dawn Breeze Auction House really bled out its resources for this event, bringing out these top-tier items for auction.
First up was a weapon named the "Phoenix Feather Blade," an offensive equipment. This blade, with its black and gold body and a red phoenix gem embedded in its blade, radiated a powerful force of flame. Eventually, Adam successfully bid a whopping ninety million for the Phoenix Feather Blade.
Next came the "Scroll of the Thunder God," a skill scroll. The scroll contained several powerful thunder magic spells, capable of summoning an endless force of lightning, possessing immense power. The faint orange glow emanating from the scroll indicated that this Scroll of the Thunder God was a notch below the divine, an orange-grade skill.
In the end, Blue Sea triumphantly secured the Scroll of the Thunder God. The satisfied smile on his face indicated his contentment with this acquisition. The Blue Sea Guild was primarily composed of magus players. Although Blue Sea himself was a water attribute magus, this didn't mean he couldn't learn from the Scroll of the Thunder God.
Moreover, his guild already had many storm attribute magus players. The skills contained within the Scroll of the Thunder God, if mastered by these members, would undoubtedly lead to a significant enhancement in their strength. This was the fundamental reason why Blue Sea was willing to spend such a price to acquire the Scroll of the Thunder God.
Following the Scroll of the Thunder God in the auction was an accessory named the "Shadow Ring." This ring, adorned with a deep green gemstone, emanated an unfathomable dark power. The wearer of this ring would gain the ability to hide in the shadows, swiftly weaving through enemies, assassinating them unseen.
The moment Kingserp laid eyes on this ring, he excitedly stood up. This dark attribute accessory was a perfect match for his own attributes. Kingserp's class was very similar to that of an assassin. Although not a player of the assassin class, his attack methods were essentially identical, meaning he could also utilize the Shadow Ring. Thus, Kingserp began to bid recklessly, relentlessly outbidding others by five million regardless of the price set by the other big shots.
Witnessing Kingserp's determined stance of not stopping until achieving his goal, the big shots on the second floor smirked. Eventually, Kingserp won the Shadow Ring with a staggering bid of ninety-five million.
Since the start of the second round of the auction, each item's appearance had been met with astonishment from many players. As the items dwindled, anticipation grew, and finally, everyone held their breath, eagerly awaiting what the last showpiece item would be.
Isabella's face was adorned with a relaxed and joyful smile as she quietly opened the last box. After rummaging around mysteriously inside for a moment, she pulled out a smaller box from within the larger one...
Before the gathering crowd could express their confusion, Isabella spoke with an air of mystery, "This final item won't bring any direct effect to our esteemed guests, but I believe once everyone knows what this little box contains, you certainly won't be stingy with your money."
Seeing the growing curiosity among the players, Isabella didn't prolong the suspense. She extended her delicate hand and gave a gentle wave. The screen overhead immediately displayed the properties of the item:
[Key of the Saint (legendary item): A mysterious key that has a high probability of unlocking a certain treasury…]
A brief sentence, yet it made a part of the informed high-end players in the audience stand up simultaneously. Isabella stepped aside, presenting the contents of the small box to everyone. Inside, a key of gold and silver, emanating a purple glow, lay quietly. It looked quite impressive.
The moment this item appeared, most of the players in the hall felt a rush of ancient aura sweeping through the entire auction house!
