The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1072

Chapter 1072: Decennial Gate Auction (III) Chapter 1072: Decennial Gate Auction (III) ‘If I had the [A.I.

Chip Module], this would have been much easier,’ Cain could not help but lament, as it was exactly in a place like this that the Absolute Life Form System would be of immense help.

Its scanning powers were much better than his.

Alas, he could only depend on his own abilities in the Crimson World.

Luckily, he was not without tools, as the Eye of Gluttony was extremely sensitive to powerful energy and auras, so it would help him distinguish between powerful treasures and garbage.

Richard paused, his keen eyes scanning the crowd, before addressing those in the upper echelon seats.

“A special welcome to our distinguished guests seated in the Celestial Thrones.

Your presence elevates the significance of this event, and we are grateful for your esteemed participation.” The Celestial Thrones were the seats reserved for the most powerful entities within the South Coast Alliance, and their presence added a layer of gravitas to the proceedings.

Cain’s gaze shifted toward the thrones again, wondering who among the South Coast’s elite had chosen to attend.

“As is tradition,” the auctioneer continued, “we gather here today to present treasures of unparalleled value and rarity.

Each item has been carefully curated, ensuring only the most extraordinary objects are offered for your consideration.” Richard gestured with a sweeping motion, and the room darkened further as the stage was bathed in a brilliant, golden light.

The auctioneer then began to explain the basic rules governing the auction.

“All bids are to be placed through the designated communication channels, ensuring privacy and security for all parties involved.

The bidding will be conducted in spirit coins and soul stones, with increments set according to the value of each item.

I remind all of you that the current exchange rate of the Commerce Association is 200 spirit coins for 1 soul stone.” The crowd listened intently, absorbing the guidelines as the auctioneer set the stage, all of them counting the seconds for the treasures to arrive.

Cain, on the other hand, could not help but be drawn to the soul stone.

According to the knowledge he had stolen, these were also a type of currency, but much more precious and rare than spirit coins.

They could help nurture the black hole of Legends much faster and assist in establishing a robust foundation.

Despite the massive wealth that Cain had obtained during the war, there was not a single soul stone in his space ring.

However, his focus soon returned to the auctioneer as he felt a high concentration of energy above his figure.

“And now,” Richard declared, his voice rising with enthusiasm, “let us commence with the first item of this grand auction.” With a dramatic flourish, he raised his hands toward the ceiling, and a massive golden gate materialized above the stage.

Its surface shimmered with an ethereal glow, intricate runes etched across its expanse.

The gate exuded an aura of majesty and mystery, a testament to the craftsmanship of the auction house.

It was that grandiose gate that seemed to lead to a new dimension that was the reason for the name of the large-scale auction.

The gate was just a show, but it was still amazing and drew the awe of most of those who saw it.

Slowly, the gate began to open, revealing a portal of swirling light.

From within the portal, a Legendary armor descended, its descent accompanied by a soft, melodic chime that resonated through the hall.

The armor was exquisite, crafted from dark steel inlaid with gleaming gold and adorned with protective runes.

It radiated an aura of formidable power, captivating the attention of every bidder present.

The auctioneer’s eyes shone with pride as he introduced the armor.

“Behold, the ‘Aegis of Eternity,’ a masterpiece of defensive craftsmanship!

Forged in the heart of the Ignis Forge by the renowned master armorer Kaldor, this armor offers unparalleled protection and resilience.” He paused, allowing the audience to admire the armor’s magnificence.

“Its Legendary enchantments enhance the wearer’s defense, providing a shield against both physical and magical assaults.

It contains the Aegis Soul Spell, allowing you to summon once a month an energy shield capable of resisting a Stellar Abyss Legendary Spell point blank!” Cain’s eyes narrowed with interest as he assessed the armor.

‘They started with something impressive right from the start.

A very good tactic and I can sense the excitement of the people rising immediately.’ When excitement and adrenaline fill your body, you tend to make rash decisions, such as bidding a high amount for something, but Cain would not fall for that.

Of course, the Aegis of Eternity was indeed a remarkable piece and could improve his defense, but the enhancement would be marginal, as the endurance of his Dragonform did not fall behind by much, so it was best to save his money for something that was truly helpful.

“The bidding for the Aegis of Eternity will begin at five hundred spirit coins!” the auctioneer announced, his voice brimming with anticipation.

Almost immediately, bids began to pour in from across the hall, the numbers displayed on holographic screens that floated before each bidder.

The atmosphere crackled with energy as bidders vied for the prized armor, each hoping to secure it for their own.

Cain watched the proceedings with a discerning eye, observing the strategies and tactics employed by the participants.

This sort of display of greed and stress would reveal much about the personalities and ambitions of those involved.

Many of the people in the normal seat placed hefty sums from the start, hoping to secure the Legendary armor for themselves, but the prices just kept increasing.

It started with 500 hundred coins but was already at four thousand and did not seem would stop anytime soon.

As the bids climbed higher, Cain began to pay attention to those who were able to keep their composure and those who managed to keep raising the bid without care, as those would be the ones he would have to be careful around.
