Waiting impatiently, a young girl stepped into my booth with an enchanting smile, "How will the young master be paying," She asked, perking her chest up.
Handing her a golden black card with my name on it, I smiled as she summoned Dragonsbane from her spiral bracelet. A radiant smile marred my face as I gripped Dragonsbane within my hands.
Standing tall and proud Dragonsbane, with an abyssal colored blade and handle, I laughed with glee, "All that is left is to inscribe it personally."
"Your insane, Arsène! you just wasted three hundred million on a spear that's not even enchanted." Eroma shouted, slapping me in the back of the neck.
"It's my money, plus it's not that much. In a month, I can gain that money back." I wined rubbing my neck while eying Eroma angrily, "why the hell did you strike me!"
Snorting, Eroma turned his head towards Elsa who's face grew serious, "Now, ladies and gentlemen, for our final item, I am sure all of you have heard of the new creation from Azure Mist. An I must say even I was tempted of stealing it."
Walking out from behind Elsa stood a large man dressed in a dark black suit, his face marred by war and suffering. With a respectful bow, he opened his arms wide as if waiting for something.
Summoning a long sword, a horrifying qi burst from Elsa, swallowing her entire sword with an icy blue light. Her long blond hair rose as she released a deep breath. With a flicker, she appeared before the large man viciously stabbing deep into his chest.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!
A massive shock wave exploded out, blasting me back against the wall. Blood dripped from my nose as my eyes grew wide at the monster standing like a goddess untouched by creation.
Yet, the most amazing thing was that Elsa's sword had only drawn a few drops of blood from the large man. He backed up, puking a mouth full of blood, before rising back up in a heavy breath.
"People of Asterion, the greatest accomplishment in the field of weaponry, a light armor surviving a full-powered attack from a peak Heavenly Realm master," Elsa said, her voice no longer soft and gentle but cold as ice.
"No more are the days of preparing heavy armor when you enter a battlefield. No more clunky armor that slows your movement, Ladies and gentlemen, I present you the Nexus Armor."
Eroma stared at me with dread, "What did you create...Can you mass-produce such armor?" He inquired, shivering.
"Of course, I can mass-produce such armor, but that will depend on who is willing to pay the cost. The material, the time, and the skill needed are insane. I will speak to Grey at a later date in regards to this armor."
"How many do you have," He asked, trying to hide his excitement.
Smirking, I laughed, "The one I'm wearing and the one that is being sold," I said, recalling the resources it took.
The Snow family are merely my allies; while we share the same blood, I needed to create my own army.
"But dear brother, you're missing the big picture; think about how I got such defense within a small piece of clothing. Did it ever occur to you that I could make light armor that has the same defense measure as heavy armor." my voice slightly high, allowing some of the spies that I knew were listening to hear.
"This was just the highest measure I could create with the material I had; this is a new era, Eroma. An I have a monopoly of such designs."
Pulling out a talisman, Eroma whispered something causing the void around them to quake. Shattering through space, I suddenly saw Grey and Grandfather walk out with a grim face. However, they were not the only ones as all-around Riverdale hundreds of men and woman began breaking through the void.
Grey eyed me with a sneer, "You little shit, you wanted chaos to happen, didn't you,"
Laughing, I nodded, "Of course, Pendragon needs some chaos, and what better than to bring in a new age. Are you not excited? A war is coming, dear uncle." my voice cold as a demon whispered.
"The starting price is five hundred million; each increasing bid must be more than one million," Elsa said as a powerful killing intent pushed out, showering the entire auction house. The only sound being my crazed laughter.
"1 billion."
"10 Billion,"
"I bid a royal arm shadow flame!"
"I bid..."
More and more bids began to be screamed out as filling the entire auction house in throwing it into anarchy. Suddenly someone shot forward heavenly qi bursting from his body as he reached the large man. However, to his horror, Elsa had also arrived, her eyes shining with icy killing intent.
"Damnation of Frozen Time," she whispered in a menacing tone
BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!
Gripping, Eroma, and me like small children, Grey pushed up a massive qi barrier, while around the auction house, a bright formation flashed, teleporting everyone away as Elsa arte burst out.
As if the world had been frozen, my eyes grew wide with awe as the entire Auction house began to dissolve into dust. The heavenly expert that had tried to steal my armor had long left this world, not having the chance to even see what happened.
With a cold sneer, Esla looked towards the other heavenly experts hovering high in the azure skies, "Is there anyone that is willing to challenge Riverdale," Her tone, graceful yet icy, demanded.
By her side, five other heavenly realm monsters appeared, eyeing everyone as if there were enemies. Unfortunately, no one dared. Who would be brave enough to challenge one of the world's greatest organizations? While Riverdale was merely an auction house, it was heavily tied to the Golden Phoenix Sect. A Superpower far stronger than the Kingdom of Asterion.
"Stand down!" A cold voice shouted as the skies began to change, losing their light.
Bursting from the void, I could see King Oswin, sword in hand, shout out. A profound aura wrapped around him as he stared at everyone, "Arsene Snow to me NOW!" he demanded in a powerful roar, causing me to chuckle inwardly.
Lifting me up by the collar, Grey eyed me; it was clear he didn't know what was going on. A look I was rather enjoying, "Shall we dear uncle,"
